All Toronto’s restaurants and bars are to stop in house dining from midnight tonight. Tim Hortons and McD’s drive thru and carry out only open.

cineplex have closed all theatres throughout Canada.

Oh what a relief .......... but good that the decision came from her.

I know what you mean!

a bitter sweet decision for both of you...but the best one under the circumstances.

They should have stopped conventions sooner, a good chunk of the newest cases in BC are linked to a dental convention March 6-7 and anyone who attended is asked to self isolate. I wonder if this is the real reason our dentist closed suddenly today. Wife is worried as she went to the dentist 2 times this month.

Vancouver Aquarium is closing.

I found myself watching announcements by different governments today and couldn't help wondering whether my parents had similar emotions when listening to the BBC.
It was a feeling that events were unfolding and decisions were being taken that would affect me about which I had no control it led me to wonder how they must have felt in the late 30's.
Of course I'm being self indulgent here, comparing my lot with them, but I found myself imagining them seated around a radio listening to events as they were described to them by the BBC.

It's feeling of helplessness, of being like a small boat being carried along a swift flowing river.
In their case it meant my father going to war for six years and my mother being evacuated and of course food rationing. In my case it means carrying on much as I do now.
I suppose it's made me understand a little more the difficulties they must have put up with, and something they never really spoke much about.

If they shut down burger vans I'm going to lose my s***.

I hope you have a goodly supply of toilet paper then

Good time to try Green Lettuce Restaurant, but better check to see if the menu is the same. Our go-to order used to be:
#58 - Mongolian Beef,
#134 - the House Chow Mein (Chicken, Shrimp) and
#151 - the Green Lettuce Fried Rice (Chicken, Shrimp

I'm hearing you Dave Without wanting to sound too dramatic, I don't think any of us will ever take our blissfully 'ordinary' lives quite so much for granted again.

I think I'll either be dead or everything will go back to being much the same as before. I imagine the coronavirus fuss will seem like the Biafran famine; awful for the participants, a source of some good jokes, otherwise forgotten.

I think you are right, unless you are in a high risk group.
