OT: 2019-nCov (Part 6) QuaranSpring Edition

[MasterDecoy]

Things is, while this was going on here, I never was scared. When the government slammed the hammer down, the vast majority of people did what they were told, there were no major disturbances whatsoever. You kind of knew that this would suck for a while, but it was for the best.

now I’m scared to death, scared of my parents, my brother, scared that the incompetence down south is gonna put my family at risk. Ms MD is the same, because her PM in czechia is a dumdum, she’s scared of her mom who is still in chemo, her sister and newborn, et cetera.

What pisses me off the most is this:

- china shuts down an entire city
- west does nothing

-China shuts down a bunch of provinces
- west does nothing

-China shuts down country
-west does nothing

-Virus shows up
-“Oh well that’s something we never saw coming”

Legault said the demand for testing is lower than the capacity for testing right now. That's pretty good news. That means not many Quebeckers are showing symptoms at the moment.

The fact that the amount of people waiting for their results has dropped for a third day in a row. As well as the amount of negative results has increased so much can be seen as a positive.

Man that's terrible. The Habs were about to head off to California after the Buffalo game so it could have happened to them too if the season got postponed a couple days later.

 

[Adam Michaels]

that was said in the press conference?

I missed the start where Legault usually speaks and announces these things. But when I was watching, at the bottom of the screen, they wrote that schools won't open before May.

Cool thanks.

When I see so much "celebrities" having the covid-19 it really tells me the "low" number of cases reallly isnt accurate at all. Its way higher.

The number is cases declared will always lag behind the true number of cases, because what it really means is the number of tested positive cases.

I have a girl that is 6. Same here. Doing our best to keep them busy. It's beautiful today so it's a great day to go in the backyard and let her spend her energy.

And yes, Disney+ and Netflix are coming in very handy right now.

Netflix:

Netflix establishes $100 million virus relief fund

I think that's still pretty optimistic.

Side effect of the quarantine : My home has never been so clean.

Anyone know where I can order N95 masks? They appear to be sold out everywhere except for Walmart on-line and Amazon, those ones don't give me the impression of being the real thing.

I hear we're supposed to leave those to professionals. They're experiencing a serious shortage.

Sales of ammunition, guns up at Oregon, Washington stores amid coronavirus outbreak

I think they're buying into that age old fear of "9 meals to anarchy."

 

[Runner77]

Watching the Legault press conference right now. They're saying the waiting times at the emergency rooms are shorter.

The irony. Took a pandemic to shorten waiting times, something all Quebec governments have been unable to do in decades.

You don't need an N95. You also need a fit test done before to know which one to even buy in the first place.

 

[Runner77]

Meantime, we have an update of how much the situation is degrading in the US.

Yes, even Dr. Anthony Fauci cannot be immunized against this ...

Every kid's dream job. Lucky.

My dream job as a little kid was bus driver! I ran a bus line on my bicycle and drove around in a park close to where I lived and every park bench that wasn't occupied was a bus stop, I stopped the bike, put my foot on the bench and pretended I let people on the bus after taking their cash, then to the next bus stop. I had 2 hard card board pieces attached with clothes pins so the spokes hit the card boards, one on the front wheel and one on the back that made sound which was the engine...

Poor Fauci!

 

[Runner77]

The Fauci Faceplam is now a thing.

 

[Runner77]

Poor Fauci!

I don't know how he hasn't cracked earlier.

He's constantly saying the opposite of what Trump is asserting, often right after Trump has said it and in his presence.

I hear we're supposed to leave those to professionals. They're experiencing a serious shortage.

I know people are saying we don't need them if we don't experience any symptoms, but still I'd like my parents to have them , they're in the high risk group.

Legault said the demand for testing is lower than the capacity for testing right now. That's pretty good news. That means not many Quebeckers are showing symptoms at the moment.

Sure, but he also qualified his statement by saying that currently, the test is only being given to people who are showing symptoms who have travelled. Wish they'd expand the number of people being tested to include all people showing symptoms if they have the 'excess' capacity he claims.

 

[Forum93]

You don't need an N95. You also need a fit test done before to know which one to even buy in the first place.

A fit test to wear a mask? Please explain, I never heard that before, thanks.

 

[Le Barron de HF]

Schools won't open before May.

Official?

 

[Andrei79]

If you haven't heard about it, you're not in a position to need an N95. That is, unless the situation or knowledge about the virus changes in coming weeks.

It's people who travel. The wealthy tend to travel most.

I'm willing to suspect that if you divide the data by class and family/personal income, people in higher brackets will have it more than people in lower income brackets. At least at this stage. Eventually, everyone will get it.

People of lower income will tend to have less space than the wealthy and likely poorer access to food, sanitation and pharmcological products.

I think this puts them at greater risk.

Body language belies a thousand words.
