I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if they are trying to encourage Trump supporters to head out and gather publicly. This will hurt the country far more in the long run than practicing safe public health policies. I think the propaganda the guy in the comments was referring to was that China was putting out misinformation saying the virus was much worse than it actually is so the Western Nations would shut down, leaving China open for business and dominating the world. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure Russia in particular is loving the work that Trump is doing to destabilize things like the WHO, CDC, and his own nation. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wloutet Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 (edited) I think that there may be a segment of the school population may end up being surprised that they can learn on the internet.

RUPERTKBD Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 As depressing as it is to pile on with the bad COVID news, it appears as though the virus causes clotting problems as well: https://www.msn.com/en-ca/health/wellness/a-mysterious-blood-clotting-complication-is-killing-coronavirus-patients/ar-BB135WXi?li=AAggNb9 Quote Increasingly, doctors also are reporting bizarre, unsettling cases that don’t seem to follow any of the textbooks they’ve trained on. They describe patients with startlingly low oxygen levels — so low that they would normally be unconscious or near death — talking and swiping on their phones. Asymptomatic pregnant women suddenly in cardiac arrest. Patients who by all conventional measures seem to have mild disease deteriorating within minutes and dying at home. With no clear patterns in terms of age or chronic conditions, some scientists hypothesize that at least some of these abnormalities may be explained by severe changes in patients’ blood. The concern is so acute some doctor groups have raised the controversial possibility of giving preventive blood thinners to everyone with covid-19 — even those well enough to endure their illness at home. Blood clots, in which the red liquid turns gel-like, appear to be the opposite of what occurs in Ebola, Dengue, Lassa and other hemorrhagic fevers that lead to uncontrolled bleeding. But they actually are part of the same phenomenon — and can have similarly devastating consequences. Autopsies have shown some people’s lungs fill with hundreds of microclots. Errant blood clots of a larger size can break off and travel to the brain or heart, causing a stroke or heart attack. On Saturday, Broadway actor Nick Cordero, 41, had his right leg amputated after being infected with the novel coronavirus and suffering from clots that blocked blood from getting to his toes.

That sounds almost as stupid as... well I don’t know if there’s more stupid than that. What will happen with that is, kids will spread the virus. PERIOD.

Tortorella's Rant Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Wouldn't the whole country need to be flattening the curve and seeing a reduced number of cases before we could start re-opening things. Intra-provincial travel will increase risk as things become more readily available. Then you have inter-provincial travel as people from other provinces (namely Alberta) are here and will continue to come here meanwhile their province is still experiencing a lock down because things aren't where they need to be at yet over there. So your risk is increased there also. It's like gun control in the States - either you all do it to be effective or none of you do it because one state trying to limit gun crime won't have much success if the neighboring state is the wild west. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I don't want the schools to open either. I highly doubt parents would allow their children back to school, they would not put their kids in jeopardy!

As much as I miss sports (and I miss baseball almost as much as I miss hockey) it's so far down my list of concerns right now, I can't really even get behind the discussion. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just very abstract. People need sports in times like these more than ever. It’s healthy to take your mind off of the doom and gloom for a few hours. And sports is a way to do that for a lot of people including doctors and nurses. Edited April 23, 2020 by DeNiro 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
