Examples:
Allowed: "Trump doesn't know what he's doing, the response was too little too late"
Not Allowed: "The only reason the response was so slow was to keep the stock prices high so he can get reelected"

Allowed: "The media is over-reporting this and it's going to make things worse"
Not Allowed: "The liberal media is over-reporting this because they're trying to bring down Trump"

I'm updating this spreadsheet pretty much daily for Quebec only based on @sante_qc on twitter

My God it's hard to keep up with this thread, there must be high levels of anxiety.

BC declares state of emergency which means a possible lockdown coming up. I think they should restrict gatherings of more than 10 people. I am still working so I hope tomorrow is my last day and then start collecting EI. I think the BC government is 1 week too late.

I think this was posted before... Still pertinent as this is from today.

Not only Trump:

Just wait if we end up in a situation like Italy, Iran, Spain, France or the USA.

Not like the GDT's we were getting lately.

Sort of expected to break the 100 cases bar today.

Unless there's an update before midnight.

The death is unfortunate but statistically, we were due, and we're still due 2-3 more.

The Quebec Government gave pharmacists the go-ahead to vaccinate. So when that vaccine comes out, that's almost 2000 vaccination stations located right in the middle of communities all over the province.

There are 2 known confirmed cases in my area and one probable case, who happens to be the sister of a co-worker. But they haven't seen each other since New Year's. All of these people are not living in my immediate neighborhood or nothing.

Worrying doesn't stop the spread of the virus.

I think someone asked this question the other day....


How Long Does the Coronavirus Last on Surfaces?

Potentially several hours, or even days, according to a preprint published this week by researchers at the National Institutes of Health, Princeton, and the University of California, Los Angeles. The researchers exposed various materials to the virus in the lab. They found that it remained virulent on surfaces for a lengthy period: from up to 24 hours on cardboard to up to two or three days on plastic and stainless steel. It also remained viable in aerosols—attached to particles that stay aloft in the air—for up to three hours. That’s all basically in line with the stability of SARS, the coronavirus that caused an outbreak in the early 2000s, the researchers note.

Based on my experience here over the last 11 years I really thought that people were much stronger than they appear to be right now, it is an eye-opener to say the least.

That's in perfect lab conditions.

Not false info, just not realistic in real-world conditions.

Stronger ? Theres no strength in this. You can't punch the virus, you can't maintain your resolve, all you can do is stay inside, wash your hands and stay informed.

Really, it seems odd coming from you, a guy crying out for things to lift to as a means of calming your own brain.

Sharing information does not equal worrying...

We are in part 5, 4000+ posts of sharing. not worried at all.

I went to walk my dog and yeah, people are Pejorative Slured. Some dude stopped his jogging to drink from a fountain (Luckily it wasn't open.), another one, that was walking a few meters ahead of me had to spit at least 20 times in a span of 5 meters all while flicking his cigarette butt on the ground.

Zzz, I wish I didn't live in the shithole.

If theres one thing I worry about its going insane and losing all my gains.

The lifting from what I read was a means of calming your own anxiety, forgive my lack of understanding, I am old and slow.

My God it's hard to keep up with this thread, there must be high levels of anxiety.

There are posters here who are immunocompromised or otherwise vulnerable and are understandably anxious. Sometimes their posts reflect it.

I usually spend about 10 hours a week in the weight room, this is hardly normal for me, I don't know what to do.

Usually when I get home, Im glad I can surf the interwebs. Now, im sick of it.

IDK what people tend to do.

 

[OldCraig71]

Just wait if we end up in a situation like Italy, Iran, Spain, France or the USA.

And if it happens it happens, it is what it is, we didn't create the virus but we can't escape it either, we just have to heed the warnings and deal with it.
