canuck2288 Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Don’t forget about Canada’s turd PM who would not close our international borders until it was far too late not like the virus was a surprise at that point he just let the virus fly right on in no fluke the cities with major international airports in Canada are most impacted JT just continues to be a clown 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmm Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 So after 911 the airline industry had to impose strict new screening procedures. Will this happen again? Is it time that the metal detector also screens for fever. I must say I am slightly irked that the gov't is talking about a bailout for business sectors X,Y, Z and airlines. Lets face the truth, airlines brought us this pandemic. I hope better health screening is the outcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish someone would ask Dr.Henry during their daily reports and Q&A how many of BC’s cases are in long term care facilities. I am sure the numbers are staggering. When/if my day comes, I will not consent to going into one of these places....you can just take me out back and shoot me first. can I, can I please?

Along with almost every world plague. https://www.history.com/news/china-epicenter-of-1918-flu-pandemic-historian-says and mers ? send the bill to the middle east ? just why are countries of origin responsible ? and what about countries that recklessly incubate and become massive epicentres due to inaction the usa for instance on the coronavirus shouldn't they end up being responsible for the biggest share of the bill since a bit of investment in prevention could have massively reduced the spread in that country Edited March 29, 2020 by coastal.view 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don’t truly know how many positive cases there are until everyone is tested. I hope that your faith in the key decision makers is well justified and we will know this for sure a the next few weeks. My experience is that last week I had flu-like symptoms and was sent home from work. My employees won’t go to work unless I stay away. In the interest of everyone’s safety I’m still here; even though these symptoms have passed. It would be great if I could be tested, but I understand that tests are in short supply. I don’t fall into the category of those who would be tested, so I’m here at home wondering when or if I can go back to work anytime soon. At home we are divided into three isolated groups. My wife was quarantined first, followed by me several days later. My teenage kids are ok, so they have most of the house, including easy access to the liquor cabinet I know, first world problems In a nutshell, the lac of testing does contribute to uncertainty and anxiety. I’m enjoying the positivity of your posts and the give and take on this board. Good luck to everyone here. Everybody’s got an interesting story to tell. We need someone who’s creative to come up with a rallying cry similar to GCC i think the idea of testing is a bit misunderstood it is not necessary that everyone be tested the testing happens relating to tracing activities and hospital admissions (so they are certain what they will be treating) the outcome for having symptoms is always the same if you are unwell and have any symptoms stay home for 14 days this does not change with testing (or testing results) it's not really presently an issue of test shortages though being prudent on how tests are used is wise as more could be required later there is a cost for each test, there is an additional cost to process each test to get results so there are financial reasons as well to target testing there is also a health risk for administering each test a health official does the testing it almost always results in a cough during testing that creates a health risk to that person and also requires a change of protective equipment for each test so there is health risks and health equipment issues as well not trying to be picky here but testing is not really fully understood this issue has been explained many times by dr. henry in her updates but it warrants repeating 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
