Alright......who has depleted their 'emergency stash' of junk food already?  Heh, reason why I don't buy alot of bags of chips when they're on sale (as I tend to eat them all fairly quickly).

6 bags of chips still in the cache!

Nando’s Canada pledges free meals for healthcare workers and laid-off restaurant staff

Mar 25 2020, 2:58 pm
 

Nando’s has just revealed the largest community-service program in its North American history.

 

The Afro-Portuguese chain has pledged several new offerings to help Canadian communities in their fight against the coronavirus pandemic.

This includes the following actions from the company, which will all be effective as of March 26, 2020.

 
  • Bring free hot catered meals to hospitals near every Nando’s in North America, to provide comfort and sustenance to the nurses, doctors, and hospital workers struggling to keep us all safe and well.
  • Provide free Nando’s takeout to any nurse, doctor, or healthcare worker who shows up at a Nando’s in uniform or with a valid healthcare ID, or calls to place a to-go order and presents ID at collection.
  • Create a new employee volunteer force. Nando’s employees will be paid to deploy their services to help others in the immediate communities in which they operate.
  • Allocate 50 free meals per day per restaurant for laid-off members of the restaurant industry. They can walk in and take away Nando’s with pride.
  • Donate all surplus food, packaged and non-expired, to local area food banks.
  • Provide free family meals for Nando’s employees’ families in need.

In addition to these new measures, Nando’s will give its customers and employees the opportunity to pay it forward by purchasing a meal for families, laid-off industry workers, and medical personnel.

Hotel and restaurant business is slowly approaching point of no return.

Huh? It has existed for hundreds of years. Point of no return...give me a break.

 

If will exist after this.  Maybe changed a bit....but it will recover just like everyone will recover.

Okinawa beer - Orion.  Yeah, it is pretty good for a brand beer.   Aooni, that and Yona Yona are my go to as well!  They are readily available and affordable  That is the Karuizawa brewery.  They also make the best black beer I have tasted outside of Guinness - Tokyo Black.    COEDO is a another craft brewery that you can get in the stores relatively easily and isn't expensive.  Craft beer is way overpriced here.  There is a place near my house that is 25 bucks 2 hours all you can drink craft beer.  They got a lot on tap and then a a very large selection of both canned beer and bottle beer that you just walk up and help yourself to - super dangerous place!

This could start of the next new & improved Vancouver rebuild?

So just thinking about the numbers we have heard about:

 

Canada population = 38 million

 

Contagion rate is supposedly 30% to 70% of the population by the time this is done.

30% = 11.4 million Canadians infected

70% = 26.6 million Canadians infected

 

Possible mortality rate =  1% to 3%

 

So for the 30% spread rate:

1% mortality rate = 114,000 dead in Canada

3% mortality rate = 342,000 dead in Canada

 

For the 70% spread rate:

1% mortality rate = 266,000 dead in Canada

3% mortality rate = 798,000 dead in Canada

 

So there is a possibility Canada will have 114,000 to 798,000 dead from Covid19

* from https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/coronavirus-age-sex-demographics/

 

Mostly people from 60 and up will get hit the worst by far....well mostly 70 and up.

 

Canada population by demographic:

So Canada has about 7,000,000 people aged 65 and over in Canada.

...and we may have 114k to 798k deaths with the VAST majority of those deaths being persons 70 years of age and older.

 

Scary numbers and I fear for my mother and father in law. But the numbers reassure me for my son and daughter.

 

I am not trying to give any specific narrative here other than trying to understand who the fatal cases will be.

 

One weird part here is that some young and healthy people are dying and the WHO does not know why yet. I watched one virologist who stated sometimes a specific part of a persons DNA can make them more susceptible to a virus even though they are healthy.  That part is speculation at this point...

 

OK...I have thought about this way too much.

Pretty sick and tired about hearing how the flu kills more people than Covid19.  Yes, more people die from the flu every year but more people get the flu than covid19.    It is the mortality rate that is more important.   Covid19 death rate is from 3 to 8% while the flu death is .01%.  If the same number of people get covid19 as the number get the flu, the number of deaths will be astronomically higher.  It will be in the millions.

And this year's flu will not take the season off, so COVID is on top of the "normal flu" numbers.
