Dictatorships last I checked about five minutes ago aren't always the most honest. But, you’re going to listen to Trump tell his inner circle to leave a cruise ship at sea, so as not to increase their numbers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moving towards more extreme measures and lockdowns in B.C. could become a reality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't see how you get a much better source then the one given. 2) Coastal, I'm not second guessing the local guys.... I think they'll do as much as they can and they're well trained, I'm just also aware of the fact that this is a pretty quickly developing situation and my guess is - if Osterholm is right - they're probably already working to implement steps to address the virus being airborne and we'll see that taking place soon.... in fact I think it's already happening as I just got some info about conferences happening in my work world that are being discussed at the highest provincial level.... I don't know what the outcome will be but large public gatherings are obviously already on the radar.... if stuff starts getting shut down then BCCDC is already a step ahead of us and not far behind a leading expert. thats fair.

nuckin_futz Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 German coronavirus cases jump to 2369 from 1567 yesterday Thu 12 Mar 2020 18:46:21 GMT Big jump in coronavirus cases in Germany Germany is reporting a big jump in the number of coronavirus cases. The total number of cases has moved to 2369 from 1567 yesterday. That's a 51% increase from yesterday. New York reports hundred 112 new cases to a total of 328 Thu 12 Mar 2020 18:26:46 GMT Gov. Cuomo speaking New York Gov. Cuomo announced that New York would ban gatherings of 500 or more which close down the theater industry. Rome's Catholic churches ordered closed because of coronavirus Thu 12 Mar 2020 19:03:58 GMT Move believed unprecedented in modern times. The coronavirus headlines continue. In what may be the start of a trend, Rome's Catholic churches are ordered close because of the coronavirus. A decree by Pope's Vicar for Rome dispenses Catholics from obligation of attending Sunday mass. I would expect that attendance at place of worship will start to see the impact from the coronavirus with or without dispensation. France closes all education establishments Thu 12 Mar 2020 19:10:26 GMT Schools and universities to close Closing schools is extremely effective in a pandemic. Not just because kids are disease vectors, but because it reduces crowds and forces many parents to stay home as well. *********************** The headlines are just unrelenting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like in Korea. https://qz.com/1808390/religion-is-at-the-heart-of-koreas-coronavirus-outbreak/ Mike Pence, CDC director Robert Redfield, etc are all evangelicals. Nothing wrong with that.

Which when happens across the globe you can come to the conclusion it’s true and based in fact. I’m not saying to ignore the BC medical health officials but you definitely should not ignore what the WHO and other leading world health experts have to say. The WHO is arguably the best source for medical information on this disease that is out there, they have first hand knowledge of it from when it first started in China because they sent medical experts to investigate. I know for a fact BC did not send medical experts to China to investigate what was going on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimito Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 1 hour ago, Topcheeze86 said: 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 I trust Russia's number less than China. Putin will decide what number to report. Closing borders may work in some cases and can slow down the spread. But it won't prevent it with today's global travel. When China had the cases in Dec, it wasn't taken seriously by Chinese government or foreign. Millions of people celebrated new years eve in Wuhan. By the time China locked it down in mid Jan, about 5 million left the city already. People travel everywhere. Besides, China makes a huge proportion of drugs, masks, and other medical supplies. If you close the border, how are other countries going to stock up? Also, you need international experts to go there and investigate. The problem may have started in China, but it is a shared global problem. Historically, closing borders only slowed the spread, but doesn't prevent it. The lockdown in Wuhan bought us outside of China more time to get ready. Let's hope Canada is up for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
