If you want to listen to generalized info, thats fine. It doesn't do you nearly as much good as listening to people who are paying attention to the actual details in BC. BC has no relevance to the discussion. This website reaches the world as does the virus. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How intelligent is it to close the borders when the virus is already prominent in every major province and city. I'm sincerely curious, please tell us. That's like saying close the gate, the horses are already out of the barn. Its obvious that the borders should be cut off and it is intelligent the countries that cut borders off early like russia etc have little to no virus based on them jumping on it early Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do I believe Mike ‘anti-science’ Pence or a physician? I’ll get back to you on that. Similar to Trump saying anyone who wants to be tested can be tested.

IMO its important to cut out the noise as much as possible and listen to the BC CDC. I agree to an extent, but the problems that countries like Italy are facing is because they refused to look international and focused only on what was happening locally. If they viewed what was happening in China as a probability of happening in their own country that would have helped prevent it no? Shouldn’t BC and Canada be preparing for the possibility that what is happening in Italy could come here rather than ignoring other countries perspectives? It is good to take advice and explanations from everywhere. That way you have no bias and have a broad understanding rather than just one single source. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The manner of transmission of a global pandemic (the subject you and Coast seem intent on arguing...and ignoring) does not have a 'US perspective'. By all means, his views on how the US medical system are going to handle it etc are probably less relevant. How it's transmitted...not at all.

China seems to have managed to stop the spread of the virus at around 80,000 out of 1 billion people. Or they are just lying about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The disease isn't going to be airborne in the states and only contact borne in BC..... certainly wash your hands but IF Osterholm is correct that's not going to stop this thing from spreading... limiting contact will looks like the only real option for slowing it down. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How hard is it for Joe blow to assess the difference between contact borne and airborne? I'm 100% certain you don't need a medical degree to figure the implications of one vs. the other out.

The BC CDC will be on top of the most recent information, both international and local. JRE might already be out of date. Stick with the local experts who are most up to date with our local conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said in a post earlier I won’t be downplaying them and I’ll be looking at information that comes out locally and internationally. You are downplaying the most qualified experts in the world on this subject and looking only at local sources. It is far better to look at multiple sources and make an educated judgement based off that rather than looking at one source and basing all opinions off of that. That applies to every aspect of news not just diseases. Edited March 12, 2020 by Petey40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
