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.

Sure, but instead of selling concentrated bleach, why not dilute it with water?   Why even BOTHER with bleach? Why not just straight up lie and sell water? You weren't offering a cure to begin with and wouldn't tap water be the cheaper option anyways?!?

Well, diluting the bleach work involve, you know, work. And selling plain water as a cure would be, um, dishonest.

So we're talking consecrated bleach, then?

I’m sensing they don’t want us Albertans anywhere near them right now.

Flames fans are tolerated. I'll go that far.

Coming home for Labour Day and the two weeks following, and hoping the Bombers sticker on my wife's car will keep us from having the tires slashed at any point.....

I’m coming home around that time as well. I’m thinking of painting my vehicle blue and gold for good measure.

Study Suggests Pregnant Women Can Pass The Coronavirus To Their Fetus
A small study of 31 women with COVID-19 in Italy found signs of the virus in samples of umbilical cord blood, the placenta and, in one case, breast milk.

Researchers from Italy said Thursday that they studied 31 women with COVID-19 who delivered babies in March and April. They found signs of the virus in several samples of umbilical cord blood, the placenta and, in one case, breast milk.

Women shouldn’t panic. This doesn’t mean there’s a viable virus in those places and “it’s too early to make guidelines” or to change care, said the study leader, Dr. Claudio Fenizia, an immunology specialist at the University of Milan. But it does merit more study, especially of women who are infected earlier in their pregnancies than these women, said Fenizia, who discussed the results at a medical conference being held online because of the pandemic.

Actually saw a car with NY plates that had a sign on it saying that the owners were Canadians here visiting when out biking this week. I think a sign is a good idea, I mean not one that say Noeller but you know, ex Manitoban here visiting or Riders Suck.

You're not wrong.......but man it's insane that this is the world we're living in now.

I like the Riders Suck idea. I think I’ll do that maybe along with something disparaging said about the Nashville Predators.

Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro is turning himself into a test case for hydroxychloroquine live before millions as he swallows pills on social media and encourages others to do the same.

The Trump non-brain virus is spreading...

 

 

Do or Die's exclusive interview with President Trump

Do or Die:  So just how did that cognitive testing go?

President Trump:  "The doctors, now these were big men, with tremendous hands ....they all said 'Mr. President, sir... We've never seen anyone pick out a picture of a elephant, as quickly as you did in the history of testing. Truly, it's like nothing ever seen before. Verily, you are without a doubt, the most brilliant and intellectual president that ever existed - you must surely know more about virtually everything, than anyone else.  They said this with tears running down their faces. So many tears, believe me. It's because I have good genes, the best genes. Those kind of amazing unheard of genes. As far as the fake media, and crazed Democrats talking about my being stable - just watch me drink this little cup of water --- with one hand!

Why isn’t this tweet out there more?
