people are freaking out about not being able to visit their loved ones in nursing homes right now in Quebec bc they already think they aren't getting proper care as it is. Quebecs healthcare system is terrible towards the elderly IMO. Underfunded

Trudeau at 1pm another press conference. Things will the tightening up even more.

Imo he should close the borders for people. Only truckers can keep on going. Everyone coming in 14 days quarantine at military base.

He isn’t even going to stop international flights from anywhere,I read on CTV is just going to restrict where they can land in Canada,and supposedly actually start screening.

I'm waiting for my best friend to let me know if her mom was exposed at the Brigham and what guidance they give.

She has no symptoms nor does anyone in the family so fingers crossed it was a close call and nothing more.

Hopefully not. I heard on the radio, things will be tightening up, since Ontario had a big spike this weekend.

OTTAWA -- CTV News has learned Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will announce some international flights will be rerouted to Montreal, Toronto, Calgary or Vancouver.
This is being done to make sure the airports have capacity to properly screen for COVID-19. Yeah I don’t know this is what they’re reporting.I don’t get it.

Someone at my wife's building tested positive.

Thank God she's on maternity leave.

They've completely dropped the ball on this whole thing.

I'm just going to share this here because I need to get it off my chest.

I'm furious at the way my company is handling this whole thing.

It needs to be more than that.

Surprised they didnt reopen Mirabel and turn it into a screening airport

Not sure what are the present conditions.

You would think wouldn’t you.

 

[KrejciMVP]

Not sure what are the present conditions.

runway still functional, biggest airport in the world. remote, I'd send all fights here first. They tore down the terminal but you can always construct a temporary housing or quarentine facility

Human trial of vaccine created by Moderna and the National Institutes of Health to begin in Seattle

The first participant in a clinical trial for a vaccine against Covid-19 will receive an experimental dose on Monday, according to a US government official.
The trial, taking place at the Kaiser Permanente Washington Health Research Institute in Seattle, will involve 45 young, healthy volunteers who will be given shots of the vaccine.
The official who disclosed plans for the first participant spoke on condition of anonymity to Associated Press. The move has not been publicly announced.

Wow that’s was quick

 

[CDJ]

If they honestly got a vaccine that quickly the scientists just posterized corona. Dunked on it

would be quite impressive

 

[Bruinfanatic]

Coronavirus victims in Italy could be left to die if they are aged 80 or more, or in poor health, under draft plans drawn up for the next phase of the crisis.This is a story in The National Post ,god sad and scary if true ,I really think all elderly and immunity weakened should all be quarantined in the US and Canada, should have happened weeks ago.

*Very fribble line voice*

Got to make it political *fart noise*

The criticisms of the administration are very relevant and valid. The response has been terrible and it’s going to cost lives. The response probably would have been underwhelming with any administration as it just seems like we were woefully prepared on all levels. Certainly didn’t help that this one closed up the NSC’s pandemic response office though. DEFINITELY didn’t help that they initially downplayed this as the sniffles. It’s literally going to cost people lives.

Who could have seen something like this coming (except for every epidemiologist on the planet)????


Hopefully every ensuing administration learns valuable lessons from the present times and are more prepared for these events going forward. I have a feeling this isn’t the last we’ll see of something like this is my lifetime

We can only hope. As long as government leaders value money, greed, and political calculations more than they value the well-being of the citizens then I'm not sure lessons will be learned as much as they should be (multiple countries guilty of this). Societal mistrust and ignorance of basic science doesn't help either.

It means still at least a year away.
Even that would set a record for development to patient.....

I'm furious at the way my company is handling this whole thing.

I work for Costco, there is currently a government ban on having more than 150 people in a social setting, yet we opened the store this morning to 500+card holders (not including guests). Last friday the card holder count was 900 at one point (meaning probably more than 1800 people in an hour). Our store is going about this as business as usual until they hear something from above.
I don't bash the company, they take good care of their employees, but someone is dropping the ball here.

nobody acted fast enough going back to January, even December when it was first reported.

Only way to keep it out would have been to close all international travel, close all boarders.
No way that was happening in Dec, or Jan.
When this is all cleared up, and the next one comes along, I still think it will be very hard to close all international travel, close all boarders. People will say its an over reaction.
