I think that should happen here as well. Great idea! Us old folk are mostly early risers, so make it 6 to 7 am please. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC Disease Control put out a statement today of who they'll test. 1. Anyone that's admitted to a hospital past ER 2. Anyone who is a healthcare worker that is symptomatic 3. long term care residents Everyone else is to stay home, avoid ibuprofen, get plenty of fluids, take Tylenol and binge Netflix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelves are just fine, I didn't see a shortage of anything. People were in a good mood al things considered, being considerate in line, etc. I didn't see anyone going ape on stockpiling, maybe just a little extra but there doesn't seem to be a run on things. I think most people have got he message stockpiling isn't needed. I'm guessing you went early in the morning around when they just opened. Also a good idea to go then as there might be less people around (vs going after work when you might have masses of people going after the scraps that are left).

There are probably others as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As others have pointed out, some countries are hit harder due to the age and general health of their people. But that said 1 in 24 is very scary. Canada numbers at this link http://www.covid-19canada.com/ 703 cases 9 deaths 11 recovered 1 in 78 Canada wide B.C. 231 cases 7 deaths 6 recovered 1 in 33. This number, and Canada's are a bit too soon to take as a valid number as the sample size is still very small, and B.C. had an older folks hospital get hit at the beginning. I'm just keeping an eye on the trend. Edited March 18, 2020 by gurn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am in self isolation at the moment due to returning from travel in the US and am finding it very difficult, no, impossible. to find a store that delivers that has any stock.

I guess it depends on where you live, I live in Abbotsford, my hubby just got back from Save on just to buy some soup , there wasn't any, and as he walked around the store there were about 200 people grabbing up the meat and other stuff.

I think that should happen here as well. Here’s what I’m thinking....... the same people that have been clearing shelves are going to see this as a golden opportunity to shop before anyone else gets in there and grab what they need. how are stores going to monitor people? If they aren’t a senior, but they are ‘at risk’, the store can’t be asking them for proof. Stores need to be putting limits on items. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC Wide 5.1 million people / 231 cases = 1 per 22,000 people aprox. Most likely due to Chinese populations being higher, more trips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had not done the math the way you just did, but I do remember the Government saying 30-70 % of Canadians will get the virus. So, going with 50% as a right in the middle of their guesstimate, approx. 18 million Canadians will get this. Nowhere near that many are going to be tested or hospitalized so it is hard to extrapolate an accurate rate of mortality at this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
