Pre and symptomatic people are the major drivers. Again here in Tokyo life is moving on. Here's the thing. It's new, things are changing daily. I hope you are right and I am wrong, that would be great. But I support stopping everything for a min and don't hang out with each other. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanfor42 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 How do we send a message to the absentee prime minister to say are you kidding me with leaving the US border open? How do we get him to see the mistake this is. 300m people down there and 25 percent have no access to health care so in this event no access to testing. Their experience will be many times worse than ours. Unless we screw up by letting everyone come over. Keeping the US border open to commercial traffic fine. They can be checked end cleared one at a time. But regular people why? Planes from the US landing in 35 locations accross Canada while we restrict the rest of the world to 4 locations. . Drivers coming accross on dozens of US border crossings. Why? Two weeks time out can bring this thing down. Waiting just makes it harder later. Wish our leadership was strong enough to make the right decisions. And Dix and Horgan omg. Please..those unqualified goofs are just pissing in the wind. We need decisive leadership. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand kids don’t have symptoms but I’m not willing to put his life in danger and people should not be risking other people’s lives. Whether you agree it is relevant to the facts. Stay home and don't go out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Experts recognize that asymptomatic people are spreading but they caution that it is not the main driver. What is are pre-symptomatic and symptomatic people. I am in Tokyo and people are out and about. You are being extreme. I think extreme is closing everything after people get enough supplies for 15 days. Tbh I’m not against it, pause life everywhere for 15 days we will be better off. But that’s extreme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my point. I understand people's worries but I am otherwise healthy and will take precautions like washing hands. Of course I will react to things as they change, so if it gets way worse then there will be some cause for additional measures like masks. Its absolutely mind-numbing to sit at home without a single sport to watch. Are you a disease expert? if not I would recommend deferring to them. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Down by the River Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Anyone in this thread a barista? Do you like it when customers come in, or at this point, are you just rolling your eyes and wishing we'd all GTFO? I go to my one coffee shop every single day and am not sure whether to continue to support them or just leave them be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think we can have a conversation about this because I believe you have a disregard for people and this situation. Facts are if you travel quarantine for 14 days to prevent the spread of the virus. That’s the facts. Symptoms or not because you could be a carrier. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read the fine print and there are a lot of people on here not reading all the information from varied reliable sources. I am in Tokyo. It is extremely packed with people. Japan like a number of countries are managing the virus relatively well. Some schools are opening. People are out and about. Keep clean, try and keep your distances, keep outings down and if you have any kind of symptom stay home. Otherwise carry on. That is what is happening here. I was on a train today with a couple thousand people. Nobody was coughing or sniffing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps you should listen to Japanese health authorities and leave us to listen to the guidance and rules set out by Canadian health authorities then. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if there is another variant wave of it like the Spanish flu and someone from Toyko heads to Africa?... I don't know man, it's still early in all this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to have more precaution. Look at Korea the first 30 people got sick and some of their families but the 31st person to get sick did not know and he/she went to major cities and events, infected a mass amount of people without knowing and now it’s a major issue. Prevention is key no matter how you slice it! Edited March 17, 2020 by #Canucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate to say it but the experts seem to be making this up as they go along. I don't mean that they are giving out false info but in regards to their response and their actions to stop the spread. Gobert got infected and all of sudden all the leagues shut down, one by one. Why didn't the experts tell these leagues to stop sooner? Why didn't they close down the borders for foreigners sooner. Why have they left the US border open? Clearly our politicians have a say in this as a well, maybe even economists are chiming in regards to weighing spread of virus vs. the country's economical/financial interests. I and other citizens should be allowed to make the same risk vs. benefit analysis as we step out of our homes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously you are going to hurt people in Canada with an irresponsible comparison of your experience with ours We have a 3000 mile border with the US do you? No so shut up. Our border with the US is still open. You can feel pretty good on your Japanese Islands. Our experience is much different so keep out of it.

Tortorella's Rant Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Work associate sent a letter to his lawyer regarding what to do this afternoon. He doesn't want to be fired or 'disciplined' for working from home, especially when his parents are over 80 and living with him. Management hasn't acknowledged the virus or options whatsoever. It's business as usual. And the 'funny' thing about this is we're IT so he has more capability than anybody to work from home lmao 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
