I'm starting this thread as a side discussion of all things Corona Virus related. I understand that this is going to be discussed in almost all other topic threads but we could collect news and other items here. 

 

At work, many conferences have been cancelled.

NBA - Suspended.

NHL - About to be suspended. 

NCAA March Madness - Playing - no crowd. 

 

Political Rallies have been cancelled. 

Travel bans. 

 

Rita Wilson and Tom Hanks tested positive. They're in Australia where testing is available. If they were in the US, they wouldn't have been tested. 

**** the IOC. 

Ex-pat Winnipeger, lived seven years on Vancouver Island, and the last 13 years in New Zealand. Starting tomorrow we are moving to our highest alert level for the whole country which means people instructed to stay home, schools closed, all businesses except essential services (e.g. supermarkets, pharmacies, medical services), and major limits on travel. This is expected to last at least four weeks.

I’m a research scientist (non-academic) and we are now all working from home indefinitely, aside from a few exceptions. Our prime minister gave a very encouraging and well-received press conference to the country yesterday outlining what the plan is. Seeing the s***-show that’s going on in certain other countries, it’s really nice being in a country that has a plan, even if it will be a difficult few weeks.

Generally don't have the time of day for Trudeau......but Trump makes him look like a total stable genius.

The Republicans in the Senate are blaming the Democrats & the Democrats are blaming the Republicans for the delay of the Covid 19 Aid Bill in Washington. Usually, this falls on the leadership in the White House to compromise & bring both sides together for the good of America in times of trouble. Donny & his band of clowns have no sense of how to do that led by the biggest clown of them all in Mitch McConnell. They all have to wear any failures like a Red Badge Of Courage. I'm hopeful Americans will remember come November. 

Well at least they are holding the WH briefing after the markets have closed....................so much winning

Trump would make a rabid ferret look like a stable genius.

Even when he thinks he’s not being racist, he’s still being racist. 
 

 

Trump or no Trump, JPT has been an outstanding leader during this unprecedented mess. I'm generally on the fence about him, but throughout this ordeal, I've been VERY impressed. JPT and Deena Hinshaw are my two favourite people lately....Nenshi has been a solid voice, as well.

Sometimes I imagine Andrew Scheer just standing at the mic repeating the same sound bite over and over...  its good for a laugh

Trudeau and our guy Pallister have really stepped up and shown leadership. 

Hell even that moron Doug Ford looks better than the Annoying Orange

protip: it looks less racist when you don't say "they" and "us" 

because who, really, is "us?

when in doubt, follow the walrus rule: I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together.

This **** is unprecedented. And pretty unsettling. It makes me wonder if the feds plan to put the Emergencies Act into force.

“The medication they consumed was not the medication form of chloroquine, instead it was an ingredient listed on a parasite treatment for fish.” I know it’s easy to bash trump, but responsibility has to be on the couple when they aren’t even taking the real drug.

Why do the Liberals need special powers to raise taxes? This makes no sense. Trudeau does have a minority government. 

Here's a new resource Manitobans can use if they are in need of some help during this period.

Sure. But the president of the United States has enormous influence. When he repeatedly says you can’t trust the media and you can’t just the Dems and you can’t trust doctors or experts. You can only trust him.  It’s no surprise when the easily led are easily led astray.
