Re: Coronavirus
Hawaiian Airlines has a charter flight into Vancouver tonight, arrives in about 3 hours. Canadian's from a cruise ship that docked in Hawaii. Hawaiian government kept everyone on the ship until 3 hours before their flight and then ship straight to airport, there are other flights to Australia, UK, Germany, US mainland and a couple others to repatriate people on the ship to their home country. Hawaii didn't want the ship to dock but apparently it has mechanical issues that made docking necessary, but Hawaiian government seemed to be very strict, stay on ship until time to go to airport then straight to airport.
No word if the Hawaiian crew is staying in Vancouver, flying to Seattle or another US city though, doubt the plane or crew will go back to Hawaii tonight, would be a long day, and might exceed crew limits if done round trip same day. But Hawaiian Airlines is a rare visitor to Vancouver, too bad the plane is arriving so late.

Ooohh I wonder if my friend was on that flight - her cruise ship was diverted to Hawaii to offload passengers for flights as they were down to 1 prop.. she lives in Ontario but perhaps they will put her on an internal flight from Vancouver. (No sickness on her ship as far as she was aware). I just saw the news report and that was the ship she was on!

Had to laugh this morning at Mike Ashley's claims that Sports Direct shops should remain open because they provided "vital sports and fitness equipment" to the British public. Last time I was in a Sports Direct <shudder> it was just wall to wall piles of Kappa tracksuits, Barcelona football shirts and giant mugs.
Hopefully another greedy, grasping wideboy about to learn a lesson. Should have put this in the "Upsides" thread.

Re: Coronavirus
Well I went to get my 'lay off' letter to day and it was busy at work, I was asked to hold off applying for EI. I am now doing 10-1 5 days a week (usual shift is 8-1). I'd rather do that than stare at 4 walls. I'm pretty sure we will be on lockdown soon anyway.
I will pick up a supply of dog food on Wednesday as that's when Pet smart gets it's delivery, then aside from groceries we will be set up. I did get some mini clippers for doing in between Nushkas toes. She is great in the bath and even doesn't mind my hair dryer, it's as she gets bigger we might struggle lol. We should have a 'I groomed my own pup ' thread if this goes on and on.

Re: Coronavirus
Why can these people just not stay in and isolate? Two weeks might just make all the difference...

To be fair, she is being magnificently mature about it.

Re: Coronavirus
Is Pet Smart still open? We have a new one that has just opened and it has 'self service wash your doggy' station! My dog (a big Cairn Terrier) has a visit to the groomer every 3 months ish, but it's not cheap, and much as I love him he does smell, my son and I had planned to try to wrestle him in there when C19 changed our lives...now I'm 'working from home', my son lost his job and Uni has pretty much ground to a halt, I will check and go there...if possible - thank you PP

Re: Coronavirus
I was interested in the downtown cams to see if people were maintaining a gap but there weren't really enough to say so.
I was amused where two were approaching each other - one pushing a buggy - and the (assumed) guy veered off to the right at the same time the (assumed) woman went to her right and pressed the button to cross at the lights...and then, when he went by, didn't cross at the lights but carried on
It was as if she pretended, not wanting to make it look as if she was moving away from him.
But then she suddenly ran full pelt, with the buggy, on a path towards city hall entrance. Probably playing 'chicken' with another parent with buggy but it happened out of shot.
