  1. yeah i know quoting oneself is bad form B.C. to release its forecast of COVID-19 cases and access to hospital beds this starts in 7 minutes below is an online streaming link https://vancouverisland.ctvnews.ca/video?clipId=375756
  2. no, i don't think so tom hanks is not yet finished his mandatory quarantine in australia
  3. i think i'm about 7 or 8 pages behind in this thread and do not have time this morning to read those pages to catch up two alerts about updates being provided today (sorry if my post is redundant due to my failure to read) 10:30 am - bc medical authorities will be providing information (verbal and graphs) about the modelling and other underlying data about the bc coronavirus situation and where they believe things are here and where they are going 3:00 pm - the regular daily update about the last 24 hours of the coronavirus situation in bc
  4. i'm all in favour of optimism i have copied a selection from this article Levitt said he can see a better outcome in the U.S. than what has taken place in China, Italy or Iran, especially with social distancing measures in place. He said social-distancing mandates are critical in cutting the number of coronavirus cases. it is not clear what he is referring to. usa will pass china on friday for the world lead in confirmed cases. i see no possibility that the confirmed cases in the usa will not soar to more then double the china numbers. with that count it is truly hard to see how the death rate in the usa will not outpace the china death total by a fair bit. once people have been infected the death total follows in a bit of a lock step fashion. social distancing now does not remedy the present and soon to be increasing infection and related death numbers. it impacts numbers a bit further out - a week or 2 down the road. i see no outcome in the usa that will be better then china. i really wish more detail would be provided. i get it that this guy has credentials but the view set out in this quote seems impossible. i am simply baffled how he can publish these views.
  5. stay safe stay strong your city is in my thoughts you have good leadership there it seems hope your hospital system holds up
  6. don't go this is not the time for that take a break if you must your presence on this board is appreciated i am happy each time you have done a gdt reconsider please
  7. how many credit cards do they require to get their free premium service?
  8. other viruses people are exposed to annually have respiratory and pneumonia like effects but i agree.. it is premature to meaningfully discuss these things now so i will stop
  9. i do not think you understand the steps bc has taken since january 15 the well thought out method being employed appears to be working.. but this is very premature to conclude... wait another 4 or 5 days hope is always a worthy endeavor i di hope the methods employed by detailed strategies and compliance by citizens will in fact work
  10. SARS is a different animal which is why its spread was stopped SARS will not become part of our annual virus season problem covid19 will become another member we deal with annually
  11. well it is easy to overgeneralize but i think we are seeing glimpses and suggestions and perhaps hope that bc is not like italy, spain, usa, etc
  12. i predict he will never admit it should he ever get the virus
  13. following on my previous post to you we will not really defeat it but delay it it will likely return again in another wave after a number of months this is just how viruses behave
  14. your posting seems to suggest you believe that people will somehow not be infected if steps are taken that really is not correct and not really the goal the goal is to slow down the rate of infection so that the community can be managed medically the virus is here it will eventually touch a vast majority of people that cannot be prevented and it is not realistic to expect that
  15. particularly quebec and alberta to a bit of a lesser degree are troubling (ps in my post i meant only to refer to bc stats)
  16. dr henry said during her update that on friday she will show graphs demonstrating the modelling they are using she will also be discussing numbers/estimates regarding covid19 cases that were not diagnosed by testing but are likely covid1i9 cases due to other factors (family members etc) i think that session will give us all the best idea where this is going the information to date remains solid and consistent if you all can find the time that will be a key update to view
  17. the stat trends look encouraging i think we need a further 4 or 5 day window we are not seeing spiking happening which is a very good thing
  18. they will be the new world leader by the weekend could happen as early as friday
  19. compliance buy outs could be 1 tool used to assist teams about cap issues it is not enough though to solve the issue increasing escrow % has to be the critical component to create balance and fairness among all the league players i believe the nhl met (virtually) in the past couple of days to discuss this issue i have heard no reports about any outcome from this meeting
  20. you are correct i take her at her word you do not so i agree we disagree
  21. so you can provide no source that you have full confidence in ? zero?
  22. why don't you inform us then about who is giving accurate messaging regarding this pandemic because i'm sure someone is who can people turn to with confidence ?
  23. i do not share your cyncism there are people who do continue to act ethically in times of crisis there are many of us out here that also possess high end skills to assess what we are being told i am unimpressed with your work situation it does not add credit your posts or viewpoints for your view to be accurate dr henry would need to be a psychopath that trump can truly aspire to model because she'd have to be genius at it given all she has said daily for weeks now without wavering in her message
  24. i think she'd be truthful in what she says do you even watch her? she is completely transparent answers each and every question there is no evasiveness in her approach every question you can think of has been asked of her and she answers each one you can choose to trust no one if you wish but that is a lonely existence i prefer to assess those who speak in order to gauge how truthful they are she is credible in my view i trust her message
  25. well i'm sure the sick when sick cannot meaningfully pass it on to the other sick and anyone who is aware of trump churching in this manner will simply avoid him and all family members who might attend i really see no meaningful risk to anyone if any risk does exist, surely that risk is worth taking to silence the grand misinformer
