I've presented facts. Irans numbers, facts. Italy's numbers, facts. YVR arrivalss, facts. ICU bed numbers from an academic source, facts. You seem more inclined to cherry pick by ignoring all these.
It's not 'fun' I just genuinely believe the positive crowd on here is being intentionally ignorant. Hear both sides, make a discussion. Do not accuse me of fear mongering or enjoying this.
'take out China, Iran, and Italy's numbers' you lost me right there. Talk about convenient. The Spanish flu was 2.5%, so your lower estimates don't make me feel any better.
Ok, sure we can talk the positives. Hong Kong has rallied from this, their numbers are way down. Self-isolated early on and kept people from crowding. South Korea does have the best ability to test cases in the world, I wish Canada reflected that in the slightest.
This is confounding to say the least. Yes, I believe air traffic should have been shut down, borders too. What would it have done to our economy? look at what has already been done, TSX down 20%, asinine point.
Iran: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/iran/
514 / 11364 = 4.5%
Italy: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2020/03/declares-coronavirus-global-pandemic-live-updates-200311235023766.html
1016 / 15113 = 6.7%
Yet China still posts that wonderful 2%. I wonder who I believe.
no, I think the greater disservice is the line you're towing. That we've responded (we have a sign at the airport), or that we're prepared. Neither are true.
Learned nothing. been following YVR arrivals, Chinese flights here ongoing. Hangzhou and Shanghai on the first page alone: https://www.yvr.ca/en/passengers/flights/arriving-flights
Not to mention Iranian and Italian arrivals.
OK, no one is going to disagree with your last statement.
I think it's awful that our season is going to be decided by this. We no longer have control of our own fate, that is a frustrating thing.
