How dangerous can that be? Cause some are skipping animal trials and jumping straight to human trials. Seems dangerous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But are there measures in place that put pressure on other landlords to do the same? Great question, something I'm wondering about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottish⑦Canuck Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Looks like my Aunt and uncle have it. 39 degree fever and a constant cough. Haven't travelled anywhere in months. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't travelled anywhere in months. Have they been around anyone who has travelled? Been sick? Have they been tested? Also, if they are showing signs of being sick, they should also inform those who have been in close contact with them recently. I hope they're ok and pull through this.

They won't test anyone here unless they have severe symptoms. Such is the wisdom of the British government. We'll have no idea of the real figures. It's a guessing game. I've no idea - I'm not in touch with them that often. My dad told me on the phone earlier. I'm pretty sure they'll have been in contact with everyone they've been in contact with - common sense really. Thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I work with people who have shown symptoms yet didn't tell anyone or self-isolate. People tend to get scared and lie about their situation when they show symptoms. Anyways, glad to hear they have common sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is clear from being on here, watching the Canadian media, and talking to friends and family that many people in Canada are panicking. Perhaps, people in North America should have been listening and paying attention to was was happening in Asia a little earlier. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The virus still affects the elderly and those with compromised respiratory systems the most. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see people panicking.......people are getting freaked out, for sure. Some of us are preparing for an extended period of hard times, but I don't see much "panic" 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HKSR Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 As CTV News just indicated, people in their 30s are being shown to be getting extremely ill and being placed on ventilators. If the system gets overloaded, those ventilator resources will diminish, which would mean people from the 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, etc could all face dire circumstances including death. Flatten the curve people! Stay home! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m posting ongoing events about the virus in the thread made for the virus. You're coming on here and telling us Canadians are panicking and that we should be going about our daily lives cause that’s what you’re doing in Japan. I’m not the only one posting Italy’s statistics but I don’t mind stopping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
