And some who have it are not being tested. My friend showed up for testing and was told they wouldn’t test even though all the symptoms were present, and the health care workers acknowledged it as well. My friend them said “I’m an essential worker” (they are, not lying) and they reversed their decision and tested. Results are pending, but it shows that they are still being selective in who they test. 

Yeah. I feel tho this has been around longer than they say.. Like all winter and i think besides low testing numbers, i wonder if our very extreme weather plays a role in keeping this in check here.. We go from minus 40 to plus 40.. Our bodies are conditioned to deal with truly extreme temperatures. Honestly ive long thought that if we all got tested here it would show that most of us have this or have had it.. It just doesn't effect us as much as other places. Our small spread out population helps also

What a dumb thing to say but then... you've been making a habit of it everyday on this thread. 

Good joe Biden impression

Obama's endorsement really means little, he was going to endorse whoever the Democrats nominated

My cousins believe in the 5G conspiracy theory...  so careful apparently the 5G are giving radiation 🙄

Meanwhile in China:

Sweden is not successful. They are a country of 5 million with 10,000 cases & the mortality rate is nearly 9%. How is that successful? Their healthcare system will collapse like Italy. the government is playing with innocent lives. And Nicaragua? That is a country ripe with drug gangs & a generation ago was ruled by the Marxist & ruthless Sandinistas. 

In other good news, due to the Corona Virus the XFL suspended operations today & laid everybody off. I feel for the players, coaches & staff affected but not for billionaire Vince McMahon. 

This black/white 'lives save vs. economy' argument makes zero sense...  all rational people know that you can't just shut down a country and not expect economic consequences - economy is directly linked to overall health.
While we crow about saving all lives from covid, we are cancelling a massive number of tests and treatments...  shutting down a large chunk of the economy will mean irreparable damage to small and mid-size businesses.  The structural debt we are creating today will result in health care cuts 10 years from now...  etc etc etc 
Globally, our economic shutdown is already having a massive effect on third world economies.  The death toll world wide from this sudden massive exposure of poverty will far outweigh Covid.  
This 'no one must die from Covid' hero thing is a bit much.

Attacking me personally doesn't do anything for your argument, which apparently is that there is no poverty or starvation and it isn't going to get worse now that we've tanked our economy. Good luck with that, rainbows and unicorns in your world.

I just asked my wife if she's noticed prices have spiked for groceries. She says oh for sure! I asked her how much, what percentage. She responded easily 10% which exceeds the predictions quoted by the experts. 

oh so you're just talking about the baseline rate huh, silly me, I thought you were expecting that sort of thing to sky rocket with this tanked economy. Go on and show me the numbers. Otherwise you're just being alarmist. 
I don't buy for a second you give a **** about poverty and starvation because if you did you wouldn't be going on and on about how important the economy is. People who focus on the economy tend to be the most selfish types and they only want to get theirs and **** everyone else. 
I mean you're fine letting more people die just so the economy is strong.  

Trump called it right when he said he could shoot someone in the street and his base would still vote for him. He, as all malignant narcissists, has no compunction in lying, cheating, or sacrificing anyone else to gain his ends. Adolph Hitler had the excuse of being a drug-addled meth-head, but Trump is wholly responsible for the death and division he is causing. He would have no hesitancy in advocating violence to his followers.

I would be surprised if things loosened by mid May, I think there are too many idiots running around thinking this is a conspiracy or what not. Case in point, my cousins from Saskatchewan...

Its interesting because students and the unemployed dont qualify for CERB because they werent making an income but this is killing their job prospects.  I believe those on EI are getting bumped up.  But if this student program means a student will get a part time job...why not just let them CERB?  And ofcourse, change the CERB rules to allow a person making partial income to apply.
Talked about a half baked plan.  "Hey, just tell the nation is awesome and no one will ever have to worry.  We'll screw em later." 
Then you've got people cheating.  I know a guy who has two FB accounts.  His personal account where he is bragging about how easy it was to apply for CERB and he cant wait for the cheque to buy a case of booze.  His "professional" fb is his online collectibles business with a big heading of "we are open".  

This is the most useless change. 

There is also thousands of graduated high school students and university students without work who do not qualify for this CERB

You took exception to someone else expressing they had issues.  I assume you’re telling the truth when you said you had a posit live experience just as I trust the negative experience too (cause I’ve heard it directly from people).  
 
Why should I hve to find an alternative to the CERB?  I don’t even understand that.  Whether Trudeau sucks or not he’s still my PM.  He’s the one that mischaracterized CERB (and the numerous news stories over the last 24 hours pointing that out are proof).  
 
I don’t hate Trudeau. I don’t hate anyone.  But facts are facts.  He was disingenuous. CERB is not working for many of the people it was specifically stated to be for. Maybe you’re not aware of it because it doesn’t impact you or people close to you and that’s ok.  I’m expressing the negative aspect of it which is true.  
 
Also I was very critical of Scheer.  It’s not about criticism. It’s about you comparing something that hasn’t happened to something that is.  It’s Irrelevant.  I can rip JT based on what he is and what he’s doing.  Scheer ain’t the PM.  And thank goodness for that btw  

Are you suggesting that everyone else’s experiences are untrue?  
 
you’re wrong on the facts. And your embracing of Trudeau is totally your business but you can’t say what Scheer would or wouldn’t do when you have no idea.  Whataboutism sucks either way.   Trudeau either lied or was mistaken when he said what CERB would be vs what it is.  In fact I hve in writing from our MP exactly what Trudeau said and it’s not accurate.  
 
Hence why there are several news articles stating exactly what I said was an issue.  You’re just wrong.  Now hopefully they do correct it and correct it quickly.  But if you don’t want someone’s blind love for trump to cloud facts you can’t do the same for empty suit JT. 

lol As if a Conservative or NDP Prime Minister would sit around twiddling their thumbs?  Meanwhile, Trudeau dodges questions left and right and launched a CERB that was not what he promised (and has now acknowledged as changes are coming but who knows what, and who knows when).
