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.

I’m not sure how much say she has in how the province is run.  But other MLAs could have similar beliefs. 

She was on Treasury Board. Haven't followed if she still is but that would have a lot of weight to how the province is run.

Appears to be a combo of...

They will be fine. A flu virus is not to be feared, it’s manageable.

and

Most children in manitiba who are or have been infected are within closed communities or known communal clusters.

 

FWIW Not seeing the exact same quote.

the hospitalization/ICU numbers being pretty low is a really good thing for now.....but something to keep a close eye on going forward, for sure.

The fact is that he was asymptomatic the second time, would seem to indicate that he’d built up some immunity. 

 

 

So, here's a question.

Right now deaths are US 181,485, Canada 9,086 according to Worldmeter https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/

Who thinks we will hit 10K before the US hits 200K?

Well based on yesterdays numbers. USA is 339 a day,  Canada 10 so the USA would hit their number first and I'm not taking stupidity into account.

Stuff like that makes me crazy... I don't understand why some people have such a huge issue with having to wear a mask.  In my mind I see it like the old policy of "No shirt, no shoes, no service", now it's got the added bit about the mask... "No shirt, no shoes, no mask, no service".

Ugh.

Sadly Freshii not filing charges.

 

The RNC keeps referring to Covid-19 in the past tense. 1,147 American deaths were reported Tuesday.
Larry Kudlow and company are pretending the coronavirus pandemic is a thing of the past.

Kudlow - “It was awful. Health and economic impacts were tragic. Hardship and heartbreak were everywhere."

Thinking as I was watching the GOP convention......thank god the pandemic is over...
