Guess it has become impossible to go to a grocery store without meeting a crowd.

I have about 2 months worth of food but figured I could use a bit more, went at 8am but there was too many people in the parking for my taste so came back home.

They should implement something to change that, they are nests of contagion. People should go LESS to grocery stores, so not sure why theyre so packed.

I am guessing they had less than 2 months worth of food.

Also assuming the hours are the same there as here, that 8 am is opening time and people need certain items and hoping for restocking. I know it took me a week to get my hands on a bag of flour due to work schedule, daycare closure and my wife working as well in the hospitals.

That's terrifying! and at the same time a cure for constipation.

I just got back from the maxi in verdun on Wellington. Maybe 20 people at opening. I was in and out in 30 mins.

Haven't heard the name ESSO since I left Sweden.

I hear it all the time when my Japanese SO tries to call me an a-hole.

My sister who lives in Saskatchewan received this emergency alert on her phone yesterday.

Wow...I'm assuming that all Canadians will be receiving this shortly, unless its just the Government of Saskatchewan..

Thanks, though 20 people is huge if they all enter at the same time and walk close to each other. One superspreader in that group and you all have it now.

 

[FrankMTL]

Wow, I never thought I would see this. Starting on Monday, we will have 9 of our 10 restaurants closed and 4 of our 5 hotels closed.

Lol 2000$

Throw their ass in jail for 2 years would be better. They'll learn the necessity of respecting others there.

I let everyone enter the store before me. Most people were keeping over a meter distance in line. one lady even told another lady to keep her distance.

Yeaaaaaah, fck that.

Amateur hour of the Quebec plebe. Want no part of it until I have not a single noodle left. The fact we're still needing to tell others to keep their distance is proof enough for me I must start eating only one meal a day, de facto doubling my reserve time. Legault is disappointing after a strong start. He must impose discipline steeply.

Not getting intubated at the ICU because some morons lacked oxygen at birth themselves.

I never thought i would see something like this

Let's see if we could figure this one out together...

I had reserves from before the crisis.

I wasnt planning on rampaging the place.

Even if people want to stockpile, they do it once then they should be gone for weeks after that.

 

[LyricalLyricist]

No.

We have to flatten it to give us time to organize a plan and build more ressources/infrastructure. If we can set up a strong testing and tracing system, which is entirely within our reach, the measure won't have to be so draconian, but we can't let the spread get out of hand before that happens.

Letting the disease run its course would be a catastrophe. That's what some people worrying about the economy don't understand. The measures won't take much longer than doing nothing. Doing nothing, even with the most optimistic scenarios, would cause an unacceptable amount of deaths.

When you look specifically at the Italian regions most hit and their daily death toll compared to their populations, the numbers are terrifying. I can't imagine what a real peak with no measures would look like.

I never suggested doing nothing or putting the economy first though.

I am asking what the plan is apart from flattening the curve. If the plan is to give us time to find a plan that isn't promising, even if its our best option.

Reality is, even if we have 1 million testing and treatment centers in montreal, quebec, canada(wherever) as long as one person has it everyone is at risk of getting sick. Even if we can treat it better, kind of just an endless loop until this thing dies.

 

[Phil Parent]

Back to HFPlague, hour....168 of our live coverage... we'll have our daily pressers later. Trubot will be on first and the Legault government a bit later.

I wish they didn't overlap.

Back to watching the Walking Dead to raise my spirits.

Wonder when the first Covid shooting in the U.S. will be.

 

[angusyoung]

Doesn't it leaves an after taste in your mouth?

Some like that.

The plan is to not overwhelm the health system and cause unnecessary death rates.

Where is this? I assume this is an internal response to dropping business.

That much is obvious and not what I am talking about.

 

[ahmedou]

We can send you on a one-way mission to Mars. Ground Control to Major Ahmedou...

Alongside all my clones.

Just my luck that my unnemployement finished 2 weeks ago. Now I'm at home and seriously thinking about going to work in a grocery store for pennies just to work. I'm a construction worker and got f***ed.

Unfortunately, unless you own Amazon, a grocery or pharmacy store, we're all getting f***ed, more or less.
