Petey40 Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 I understand people are scared right now but I just had one of the stupidest experiences since this whole thing started. I walked into the liquor store and initially between the people entering and the people paying the max distance you can have between you is about 3 feet. So a guy paying decides to turn around to me and start yelling at me “2 meters! 2 meters!” Which is physically impossible. But how could he possibly think it’s a good idea to turn around and yell at someone walking past instead of just keeping your back turned to them? Like he basically just spat all over me instead of keeping his mouth shut with his back turned. It was physically impossible to have 2 meters distance when entering. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samurai Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 4 hours ago, debluvscanucks said: Who are the "many experts"? You should post links when making a strong statement like that please/thanks. Very fast spreading causes hospitals to be overburdened and have to make some tough choices that WILL BE fatal for some as they go untreated. And if they die because they didn't have access to a ventilator, I'm pretty sure that means the disease was fatal for them. For those who die, "not as fatal" is not appropriate. 'Fatal' as doctors refer to it means once you catch it what are the chances of a person surviving it based on the severity of the virus itself compared to other viruses. In other words the characteristics of the virus itself. It has nothing to do with having access to ventilators. SARs CoV1 from 2002 is recognized as not being good at infection but very fatal - its case fatality rate was 11%. In other words hard to catch but if you caught then very fatal. The current Covid as most know spreads very easily (wrong?) and as you should know from watching the news most people show only mild symptoms and recover from it (wrong?). Many many more people are dying from it than SARS but that is a different kind of fatal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude cared that much about distance yet made an "essential" trip to a liquor store? Me thinks he should recheck his priorities. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First, while the outlet claims that 100% of patients were cured... the article they cite shows that 2/80 were not cured; one died and one is in serious condition. 2/80 = 2.5%, which is slightly above the existing mortality rate for the disease. The people that were cured... they were people that included 45% of the sample that were less than 50 (i.e., people that are already at a very low risk/likely to recover without the need for any type of treatment). Also, the article that the news outlet cites is not even published... at least based on where the link sends you to: https://www.mediterranee-infection.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/COVID-IHU-2-1.pdf The article the authors wrote is what is referred to as a pre-print... what people sometimes upload before peer-review. Also, despite insinuations from the news outlet, the study was not a randomized control trial...

-DLC- Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 1 hour ago, High and Inside said: That fact that we only had 29 new cases seems like a good thing but is it realistic to the situation? There is confirmed cases and what’s actually out there. I hope BC is doing well but it seems maybe too good to be true. I still see my grocery store packed with people everyday so if the virus is indeed really out there people would definitely be getting sick. Are we testing enough? I would say the answer to that is no. I'm REALLY fearful that people will grab a low number and run with it. That it's a bit of a false representation as it's only within a group being tested...and most are not being tested. So "confirmed cases" only goes as far as a limited number having access to a test. That the massive number of people walking around with it is scary and should be considered. No celebrating or letting up...but a 29 new cases won't deter those who are looking for excuses to let the guard down. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lionized27 Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 US cases pass 300k/8k deaths. NY state: over 11k new cases today. It's going to get very ugly down there. NBC Live Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve heard of so many people that think they possibly have it and are still going out in the community. Without more widespread testing this could go downhill fast. Most people have had on and off colds all winter so if they have a mild case they will go out and if they unknowingly have the virus then they are infecting everyone else. I just don’t agree with the way our provinces medical team is running this. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post bishopshodan Posted April 4, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 4, 2020 (edited) I had a sad thought yesterday. Who will be the first to report in this thread that they know someone who has died from covid? Welp, It's me. My heart broken mum just informed me that close family friends of ours have lost their daughter this morn. She was only 45. My age. To top that off, Mum's brother in law has it. I know this man well, I love him. His best friend has it too and is in bad shape in the hospital. That mans wife in an induced coma. Yep kids, this sh!t is real.
