Well, as I’ve been saying since the beginning, of the numbers were bad they’d postpone...

@Per Sjoblom I was referring to a TVA article saying that a guy who worked with the mafia have a contract for Covid-19

After the good news of no new reported cases again today here in NL it now looks like 85 hospital staff will need to self isolate for 14 days after possible contact with a positive COVID-19 patient over the weekend.

After doing so well for the past couple of weeks I now expect more positive cases in the near future around these parts but hopefully not.

If they act quickly they can contain it. It's happened to other countries where they have new cases pop up after seemingly being over it, they act fast and contain a second time.
Just respect the measures put in place.

Guess what, my throat is starting to feel on fire, and swollen..... been 2 days and getting worse...

Well if you never hear from me again, it was an honor and I wish you fun for the next 10 years extension of MB'S contract

Big multinational Swedish companies are paying out billions in dividends while at the same time laying off people and asking for government support. SKF is one of those companies.

Sorry dude, you're not ducking away from this mess that easy. I expect updates on how lousy you feel for the next few days, until you recover and are back to normal.

This is the correct way to contain and manage the infection. Test-trace-isolate, it is exactly what a top notch response looks like.

You should be proud, I wish we had this kind of proactive government but instead they just want us all to get infected. And I guess, never see our parents or anyone over 60 years old ever again.

Yes I've been very pleased with how the NL Government has handled the COVID-19 situation in this province. As was mentioned in the previous thread being an island with a small population as been a huge advantage in being able to pretty much control this virus from spreading too much.

I'm sure there will be more cases in the future but so far the people seem to be listening to what the Government is telling them to do for the most part and it seems to be paying off thus far and hopefully it continues. The most used word in televised updates from the NL Government is "bubble" and reminding residents to stay within their own "bubble" and to respect and not burst someone else's "bubble".

Since there have been such a small amount of new cases within the past couple of weeks the Gov has lifted some restrictions somewhat and we're now allowed to add another household to our own "bubble" and we can "double bubble". Great for grandparents to be able to see their grandkids and stuff. If the cases stay low they will lift more restrictions on May 11th I believe so fingers crossed.

Hopefully you'll win the award for drama queen of the year by the end of this week.

Could be any number of things. Take large doses of vitamin C, gargle frequently with listerine, and make sure you sanitize your toothbrush every time your use it.

Looks more like the bourbon hit.

I remember reading a book called "The World Without Us" and when I saw this today that book popped into my head.

Man...this economy...it's getting really scary. So many industries are so close to being completely f***ed.

Looks like some stores are reopening next week in BC. I drove by a Starbucks yesterday and there was a huge line up, about 20 cars. Firetruck comes, driver waits 1 minute, goes around and park in a empty parking lot. Everyone gets out putting their jacket on and walk to the door to place their orders. These guys skipped a 20+ minutes wait.

I hate these abusers. They know what they can do with their lubrication.

It's obviously satire but we all know we're not really in this together. Those rich f***s, entitled celebs will go back to doing their flaunting once the coast is clear again:

Situation in Montreal is critical.

Hospital ERs are badly overcrowded.

Outbreaks in several hospitals.

Both Dr Drouin and Arruda admitting curve is still increasing in Montreal.

New major outbreak in Park Ex.

Outbreak in RDP is getting bigger.

Thanks to the inaction of our mayor it is looking increasingly likely we are headed towards an actual, real quarantine. Not a fake one like we've been doing for 8 weeks but a real, Italy/Spain shutdown where you can only leave your house once a week.

Worst part is it will be mid-June before they take any action.

It's going to get very ugly.

 

[waffledave]

No plan from the government on how we will get this under control.

Hospital ERs are badly overcrowded.

Depends where maybe. I have ex-colleagues at the ER in Sacré-Coeur and friends at ER of Cité de la Santé. I also work with people that came from Pierre-LeGardeur hospital.

They all tell me that ERs are mostly empty compared to usual. Lots of nurses from ERs were transfered to CHSLDs or ICUs because they are not required in the ER. Confines people don't tend tend to get into accidents or catch infections as much as before, work related accidents have been pretty much inexistent, etc.

Sacre Coeur has been in good shape for the most part so far but the Jewish was over 100% capacity today, as was the General, Royal Vic, Lakeshore, St Mary's, CHUM, Santa Cabrini and Maisonneuve-Rosemont. They were all over 100% at one point between 4 and 8 pm today. Overall ER capacity was around 85% for most of today in Montreal. Hospital managers have raised an alarm as they cannot keep COVID patients isolated at these levels.
