I could live with this (assuming I live).

Racism is a symptom of misinformation and ignorance, so that's a given. If he's a good guy, he should take the time to reflect on his posts because they definitely could be construed as being racist. And, I'm not the PC police. To me, I'll always welcome someone making a rational, evidence based statement or opinion, or citing a fact, even if it might be superficially offensive to the thin-skinned. But those two posts of his were kind of

Basically, that's what we have right now, isn't it? If you listen to Dr. Williams, who was just on CBC, one aspect of issuing these orders is compliance. A lot of it self regulation of activities/behaviour. If the measures become too draconian, they'll simply be ignored. And, frankly, unless I'm mistaken, even in Italy and Spain, people could still leave to attend essential work and get groceries.

That's not how that works. The army is on stand-by to help a province, upon request of the province, if it can no longer enforce its emergency orders or otherwise needs assistance.

Ford said the list is amendable but obviously there was some consideration into at least keeping a portion of the economy going. I feel bad for you...my brother's in the same boat. Back and forth with the truck drivers dropping off supplies, exchanging documents...it's a risk. Meanwhile, white collar govt worker like myself is sitting on my ass getting paid. There's definitely an inequity.

His posts are so conspicuous that it did cross my mind that it's a troll-job. If trolling was the intent, good job RogueWaves. I took the bait.
-
Well, it's not that he must be, but like Hoosier said, his posts makes you wonder.

Is it RogueWaves is a racist?

Italy saw its lowest daily increase in new cases since March 18.

Terrible.

From everything I've read, the risk posed by deliveries is very low, and almost non-existent if you practice basic hygiene (disposing of the packing, washing hands afterwards, etc). Still rising and that's expected. Just need to avoid the exponential growth.

If only it worked that way But, hey, drive into IL (while you still can...lol).

^including deliveries of legal weed. Coronavirus can do what it wants, I'm floating, brothers.

I'm gradually coming of the same mind. Even shopping for groceries...it's inadvertent, but people get way too close. Online shopping for everything.

"We got serological samples, she is the first patient we know that might have gone through the ‘Spanish flu’ since she was born in 1917," Sicbaldi explained, referring to the 1918/1919 flu pandemic that killed at least 50 million people worldwide, according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention." Tough cookie.

Without question a lot are slipping through the cracks. Quebec includes presumptive cases in their totals. Ontario (and everywhere else, I think) doesnt.

U.S. just passed 100,000 cases. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/

Cautiously optimistic of how this is unfolding in Canada. Cases are growing daily but not exponentially (and much of the growth likely a result of increased testing). Right now only 6% of cases require hospitalization, and less than 1% are proving fatal.

I was listening to a podcast with Sam Harris and Peter Attia and they were speculating that increasing ultraviolet radiation may also play a part in killing the virus. I infer from that that it'll take us getting to higher sun angle months for the real effect to be seen.

Hopefully the warmer weather, once it arrives, will help slow the rate of spread. fwiw

It was sort of confirmed by Trudeau this morning, but it seems like it was an off-the-cuff comment by Trump without a lot of truth behind it. At least that's my take. I also can't fathom a reason why he would do it.
-
If necessary, it's going to be tougher for the US, with a more dispersed population and multiple layers and branches of government, to put in the strictures that Italy did. Still, per capita not as bad as most Western European countries...yet.

I was refreshing the number on that site frequently, anticipating hopefully it would go down. Too bad.
