  1. Y'all need to wash your hands and calm down.
  2. I always shower after anyways so we good.
  3. I wouldn't call it a favourite, but I mentioned elsewhere that I binged season 1 of The Strain. Good enough to recommend, enough of a cliffhanger to consider watching season 2, and virus-like relevance to today's events. Breaking Bad Chernobyl X-Flies [story arc] Fargo Still have not seen Sopranos. One day I'll start, but that 86 episodes equals ~65 hours of watching. Sounds like a lot.
  4. That is much more likely than seeing much playoff hockey this year. I think we're done. If we make it to June and the league tries to do a 4 week start to Cup it'll be a joke. See ya in September (hopefully), hockey puck.
  5. So toilet paper isn't sold out after all! *don't flush these unless you want to have a bad time
  6. I could get into politics, but I don't think my Bullworth style of dealing with people would jive.
  7. I don't think Americans will get the memo.
  8. There is no herd immunity for something without a vaccine; this is why the virus spread proficiently. There are ongoing tests being done to see where the virus is hiding, and like a doctor in Wuhan released, and as the focus of some new studies indicates, it could be in the central nervous system. This is why* people need to be on incubators when in critical care. This isn't new news, and I caution people from spinning out of control from this information. edit: one reason why
  9. Like politicians, this panel is amazing at answering half a posited question. Bill Blair is my least favourite of the bunch thus far.
  10. Oh no, not Russia! I was just thinking about taking a vacation there!
  11. "...contaminated, for... lack of a better word in English..."
  12. I wanted Americans out [or rather, not in anymore], but this hardly changes anything if we, as citizens with homes here, isolate ourselves like we're supposed to be doing. Do your own due diligence, stop interacting with people. It's going to be a tough few weeks/months, but take some initiative for your own actions, like we all should at times like this.
  13. No way, man. It's a way to try and probe a little more info out of the dude. It's perfectly reasonable to ask why in a situation such as this, even if the answer isn't one you want to hear.
  14. Accurate. Hope your family comes out ok, bud. I'm sure they will.
  15. US citizens, unfortunately. Was my only wish for the day.
  16. I read an article talking about how viruses change as they hop from animal to human, and when they do so they are "young" from a human standpoint. It took an evolution to make such a leap, and viral evolution is not uncommon, which is why we have so many flus and not 1 true vaccine, for example. As a virus' main concern is to replicate and pass to a new host, it is not advantageous to be lethal prior to transmission. Our immune system is different of that of birds and bats so the virus must mutate to use us effectively as hosts, and most importantly, those mutations are not necessarily bad for us as its an automatic compromise between the virus and our immune system. His point? Sort of the opposite of your last line, and keep in mind 2 things: we can't really trust the numbers out of China, and we probably can trust the numbers out of Italy, but they have an aging population that is exactly who this virus thrives in. No source, can't remember where I read it.
  17. People looking to and blaming the federal government for their response so far make me laugh. There are, as far as I now 375 cases across Canada. Is that cause for concern? Sure. How can you mitigate this? If you're one of the complainers, well, what are you doing about it? Are you self-quarantining while healthy? Or performing activities as usual? I'm avoiding all crowds, transit, person to person contact where possible. Exceptions are groceries and alcohol. Pay attention to your own actions, reflect upon whether or not you are doing what you can to keep the curve from spiking. The only thing I'm not to versed on which I'll pipe up about is ground/air travel from the US. Shut it down is my stance. Full stop. If you're Canadian you have to drive across. In Florida? Fly to the border and rent a car. My 2 cents on that. In the meantime, whatever decision Trudeau announces today will not have been made lightly. We're right on track to beating this brush fire back, but some common sense from individuals is needed to help.
  18. We are not part of that 'sucks to be you' list as our return is signed for multiple years to come. Would be nice to re-sign Toffoli though, lessen the loss of our 2nd rounder.
  19. Already watched it this go 'round And ya, it's good.
