Curmudgeon Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 (edited) Off to bed for a 3:30 check-in at Mexico City for an Air Canada 5:25 flight to YVR. We are asymptomatic but will self-isolate at home. Our neighbour will pick up our SAVE-ON order we put in online from Mexico. The media is talking about Covid but the president of Mexico is out hugging, kissing and shaking hands all over the country. Says Covid is a myth. Nobody here in CDMX seems to be taking any precautions, nothing appears closed down and there is no panic buying. Only in the State of Veracruz are bus passengers arriving given an information sheet and verbal instructions on staying careful. Oh, yeah, in 28 days we haven’t seen a single drop of rain, and it’s been hot. Don’t know if that has any effect on virus spread, but it is interesting. But, when the virus hits here full force, it is going to be a nightmare. Edited March 17, 2020 by Curmudgeon 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no point in trying to convince someone like this, as it's merely giving them narcissistic supply, which is what they crave and feed off of. i agree have considered invoking the iggy list but some posters just are repeatedly quoted and it makes that move pointless so i'll continue to review my method of addressing certain posts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post CBH1926 Posted March 17, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 17, 2020 Everyone should do their part in time of this crisis. The goal is to try to slowdown spread of this virus, in order to not overwhelm the medical system. In Italy they are forced to basically decide who lives and who dies. If you as a person can’t be bothered to stay out of bars, clubs, restaurants, sporting events, travel etc. for few weeks. You can go &^@# yourselves! 9 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People complaining not enough has been done now or that they want more or more sooner You literally cannot make anyone happy can you? Yes . They should have closed the border when the states did at the very least. Canadian citizens have every reason to be angry it wasn't done. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ISIS tells terrorists to steer clear of coronavirus-stricken Europe Terror group advises hand washing rather than attacks on the West. By Aitor Hernández-Morales 3/15/20, 12:51 PM CET Updated 3/15/20, 1:05 PM CET Islamic State (ISIS) has adopted a safety-first approach to the coronavirus pandemic and advised its members not to travel to Europe, Homeland Security Today reported. In the latest edition of the terrorist group’s al-Naba newsletter, the editors who normally urge followers to carry out attacks on the West instead ask them to "stay away from the land of the epidemic" for the time being. In a full-page infographic on the back cover, a list of pro-tips instructs militants on how to stop the pandemic's spread. ISIS members are advised to "put trust in God and seek refuge in Him from illnesses," but to also "cover the mouth when yawning and sneezing," and to wash their hands frequently. Those who believe they might have contracted coronavirus are told to stay away from areas under ISIS control in order to preserve the health of others and fulfil the holy "obligation of taking up the causes of protection from illnesses and avoiding them." https://www.politico.eu/article/coronavirus-isis-terrorists-europe/ Lol how the hell did you come across this? Also if they publish a news letter how can the US, Russia, Canada, UK, France, etc not track this and kill them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-DLC- Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 So my Dad's been waiting for his surgery for ages and they called today? To book him in a couple of weeks for a series of appointments to prepare for it. I think this is a little strange considering others are currently canceling appointments. His surgery is to remove a hip that was replaced and put a new one in. He's going to cancel (for now). Just a weird time to be setting something up in my view with the uncertainty of it all. Maybe trying to push it through before an anticipated surge that puts him on a back burner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have purposefully ignored them and purposefully ignored other pieces of information that don't fit with the way you want the world to be. I'm embarrassed for you. You're not so young that you can be justified in being this stupid. And I will be watching for spikes in suicide rates from social distancing in the coming months. Maybe the UK has the right idea with their 'herd immunity' strategy of combating the virus. Looks like someone forgot to send them your "links".

Why? because they've fought infectious diseases and influenza their entire professional careers. To claim the medical community may have any bias or ulterior motives beyond that is just not even sound thinking. You can be as scared as you'd like. You can make grand sweeping statements about me without knowing a thing about me. But it won't make you a more credible argument over medical experts who advise governments on how to act or react in these events. Period Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
