Solidarity shouldn't come with potential risk and Canada is thinking about it's citizens/athletes. They're being applauded for taking charge. This isn't a popularity contest, it's a worldwide crisis. exactly you think nyc folk want govenor cuomo to show solidarity to trumpie ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shocking and pathetic imo. I sent BC Health an email to that effect today. You all should to. The head BC doctor takes a day off during the worst pandemic in the last 100 years?

JM_ Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 (edited) interesting interactive graph here: https://www.visualcapitalist.com/infection-trajectory-flattening-the-covid19-curve/ right now lt looks like Canada is tracking on a curve that has the number of cases doubling every 3 days, and if we're being hopeful maybe trending to longer than that. Hopefully we'll start to see some results in the next week with isolation efforts getting us closer to a flat curve. Some other countries are starting to bend the line as well. US seems to be closer to a doubling every 2 day track tho. Yikes. Edited March 23, 2020 by Jimmy McGill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I straight up said when you equal out the population and compare the two countries it’s not 10 or 20 times. Yes when it’s all said and done the USA will be in a world of hurt but as things currently stand they have only have 2-3 times the cases when you equal out the population. The state of California alone has more people then Canada so obviously the USA will have more. When you look at serious cases or deaths I have no idea as this virus is all over the map. Why some countries have a lot of deaths and other don’t is beyond my knowledge. Maybe it’s age or health related who really knows. this is silly you did not understand my initial post and now you wish to criticize my understanding of your post go re-read my post another poster has already clarified this for you read his post as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm no fan of Trudeau - in fact I have nothing invested in his ability to lead - and don't care for his mopey, sombre disposition through this - I'd prefer a more assertive 'leader' with a more positive, proactive disposition - whether or not it's a mere "game face" (I realize his partner is infected - possibly all the more reason to step up - but I'm not sure that's his 'mettle'.) Instead I see a Vx.0 generation birthright and small el liberal who wears 'cute' socks - but almost everyone 'gets' how petty and irrelevent ideology should be considered in the present. Reality is that many people will look for ways to extract political capital and financial gain from this - but neither of those are worth a fn thing if you lose your life or your loved ones in the process - and focused your attention on ephemeral bullshizz. Bottom line - I'm not going to pretend to know what Trudeau 'feels'. Who cares? And people like yourself that can't resist ideologizing in the present probably shouldn't be judging what anyone else 'feels'. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I guess there's always Obama to blame.

coastal.view Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 so just a few minutes ago i was viewing a video news conference of governor cuomo he is telling new yorkers to brace for 9 months of virus restriction issues this is the first lengthier time frame i have heard not sure if he has access to special information or this applies more to nyc due to its unique circumstances and heavy virus outbreak china is already coming out of the virus issue though in the past day or 2 are reporting new outbreaks (which they say are imported?) but even with the new outbreaks in china (these numbers are very low) it does seem china has greatly resolved the problem in their country does anyone know anymore about this ?

But at least there's nowhere for them to go really with most things being shut down or practicing distancing by restricting the number of customers, etc. But you still see it. I'm in a building with only one elevator. Last night some folks down the hall had a small party... not much I can do about it. At this point I fully expect to get it, so I'm making sure that I don't transfer it to someone else. I do have to go out to get med's and groceries for my elderly in-laws but we're actually taking the time to disinfect the packaging we give to them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think though, that if things start to get out of hand here in BC, the people that were praising her for her calmness are going to turn on her for not being more aggressive.... i appreciate your posting but i think this post is a good example of what the real problem is regarding this virus we want to point to our leadership to do more when in fact we all have to do more they have given us information and recommendations that will work we have to implement this where we see others not doing so we need to remind them there is not a large enough enforcement force available that can do this and even if they could they are going to show up 5 or 10 minutes later when the incident is historical we have been told what to do there is not much else our leadership can do it is up to us now stop expecting them to do more when we have all done what is recommended that will be the time to review much more critically the minor shortfall in our leadership in the meantime that energy is focused in the wrong direction 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be fully in favour of fines for people not observing good health practices at this point. At best, they're prolonging this whole pandemic and at worst they'll cause deaths.
