Covid-19

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.

Making Dr Fauci relevant again.

I’d tip my hat to you...but I haven’t got a hat

Bravo!

 

A judge will decide whether drive-in worship services should be allowed to continue without fear of fines after a Winnipeg church took the provincial government to court Wednesday over its enforcement of public-health orders.

Manitoba Court of Queen's Bench Chief Justice Glenn Joyal said the case is urgent enough to be argued Saturday, before planned drive-in services this weekend. He's expected to decide then if he'll grant the church's request for an interim stay of the public-health order that restricts gathering sizes.

That is a 9-11 every ******* day.

Slow ramp up to this number... coupled with a lack of violent and sensational violence.... yawns...  

And its gonna get worse, cresting in two-three weeks . Then the mortality and morbidity will continue for months following barring a massive clampdown. Meanwhile, Australia has become nearly COVID- free.

Man I should keep an eye on this and see who else will retweet this, I mean if a member of KISS is doing this who knows who else will retweet it

Pallister started out aggressively and appropriately, but took his foot off the gas. Now the sick and dying are paying the price. He may have regrets, but that is of little comfort.

There are not many politicians that would openly call a portion of his base Idiots to their faces. You have to give him some credit for that. 
 

We all took our foot off the gas after the almost non event wave 1 was. I 

look at other jurisdictions that had severe outcomes early that also are at a point where things are about to break. Quebec and BC especially, how can theor Premiers have those approval ratings with what is happening around them?

Agreed. The silences of MLA and MP are deafening, and Pallister has already indicated that he will not run again, so he has freedom to speak openly.

It was part of his briefing. Sorry can’t tell you what minute. You could likely search for a shortened version.
