I didn't think this was going to be a serious as it is, but don't worry, I won't make that mistake again. I'm on it." Just imagine....(Cue John Lennon) Yeah, I think we have better odds of seeing Bigfoot jet skiing behind Ogopogo than hearing Trump utter those words. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know why it's so difficult to look at places like South Korea and Hong Kong and emulate what they have done, as they are some of the few places to get it under control. And what have they done? Masks for everyone. Test any suspected cases. Shut down all non essential business. In other words, the exact opposite of what we're doing. We're taking the same approach that New York, Italy, Spain, ect.. have taken. How well did this approach work for them? NOT TOO GOOD!! https://nationalpost.com/opinion/chris-selley-official-nonsense-on-masks-and-travel-bans-is-killing-ottawas-coronavirus-credibility Except of course by the numbers we're doing damned well.

stawns Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/covid-19-in-the-house-1.5515464 This is my cousin's best friend and his wife. He's in ICU, but recovering. My purpose here, though, is to highlight the wife because she doesn't have the "usual symptoms", but still is positive. Minus the pink eye, I've had the exact same symptoms for three weeks and chalked it up to a cold/flu because I wasn't coughing, didn't have a fever, no sneezing, but I'm pretty positive I've got the mild strain of it. Luckily I've been on spring break and haven't crossed paths with a single person but my gf. We need to make sure we follow the social distancing/isolation recommendations because this virus has many different faces. You might get it and not realize that's what it is and inadvertently pass it to others. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There should hopefully be an awakening to this, as the majority of the products manufactured in that country are of the lowest quality, which is obvious when you pay people almost nothing to make the goods. Yeah. That is capitalism. Nothing will change. Greedy billionaires will continue to exploit the cheapest work forces in the world to make even more billions. Nothing will change...I would bet everything on it. Edit: ...and american and Canadian consumers will continue to buy the cheapest stuff...all made in china.

My wife shortly after had a bad cough and fever she couldn't shake for weeks. I feel like we may have unknowingly already had it Funny, I hadn't heard of anyone else with eye issues until that.

I'm almost positive I had a more severe case on late January. I had a respiratory thing the likes of which I'd never had before. I was down and out for 8-9 days. I also had a friend who had a virus they couldn't identify, in early Feb, that led to severe pneumonia.....he was in an induced coma and intubated for three weeks. At the peak, they called his family in to say their goodbyes. He managed to pull out of it, after being sent to Kelowna. It caused damage to his lungs and heart though. He's 46. I've had this for almost three weeks, and the last two days have been symptom free, but today I've take a slight step back. Still, I feel much better than I did last week. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im a teacher, so obviously I get a touch of just about everything. Right before spring break we had several students out with pink eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down by the River Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 My ears haven't popped in like three weeks. Not a chance I'm going to the doctor when they obviously have way more important things to focus on... but this is driving me nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In early December I got sick,cold or flu whatever,and my ears plugged up.It got so bad I couldn't hear someone talk a foot away from me. It lasted for at least a month,till i got a prescription and it went away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have ear syringes that you fill with 95% warm water and 5% hydrogen peroxide. You stick it into the ear canal and push the mixture into your canal. Tilt your head and presto! You’re deaf! I’m kidding. It’s worked for me as I followed how to flush out the ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostsof1915 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Ok adventures in prescriptions. - London Drugs will only issue anything nothing more than 30 days. This I understand to make sure there's enough medication to go around. - My Doctor (according to the receptionist) won't refill until you are down to 3 days. (No comment on London Drugs saying it might be 5 days to fill the prescription). According to the receptionist they will only issue 14 days for refills (less than what London Drugs tells me). So how it is helping that I have to call in every 14 weeks to my doctor to get a refill? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good laugh. Dye the hairs popping out of your ears blonde to make them more noticeable! Fashion tip for not looking 65 years old at 40? Eyebrows, nose hairs & hair sticking out of your ear. Just pluck 'em! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The peroxide helps to break up the wax deposits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
