Come from Away? It was conceived and written by Canadians and began its life in Canada before becoming a Broadway hit. It’s a great musical—I’ve seen it twice.
I hope not. Canada needs to be in emotion control and negociate. I hope they will keep their cold head and find solution instead of retaliating witch would divide and create more problem then anything else.
This covid 19 needs concerted international actions to defend and overcome it, and we all need to help ourselves... no border, army and weapons were strong enough for this shit. Science, added with citizenship, rules respect, love and helping each other will help us pass thru this and overcome. This is not a US, Canadian, Spanish or Chinese thing.. it is worldwide, and everyone is concern.
Let’s stay strong, and cela va bien aller...
Could it be that what Trump puts out for the public to hear and what he actually does are different things?
He can't be that ignorant can he?
He can't be that ignorant can he?
Trump is a compulsive liar with zero ability to think strategically. He only reacts; he does not plan. He is a malignant narcissist whose primary desire is to make himself look good. Thus, what he says and what he does are rarely the same thing.
The book that was written about Gander and 9/11 was fantastic. This play is on my bucket list to see.
Trump is a SALESMAN. Always has been and always will be.
Case in point
Some of your highest-earning salesmen make outrageous claims to sell the product and then the poor tech staff has to figure out if they can do it.
Consolidating the flights into a few airports was indeed a good move...
...Not properly screening people that came in was not.
430,000 People Have Traveled From China to U.S. Since Coronavirus Surfaced
And his "ban" wasn't even really a ban.
US Citizens were exempt (as they should be), but they should've been tested/monitored and put into quarantine.
@GabeTravels I have some good friends in Detroit and the thinking there is DTW became an incubator for this virus.
This is a big truth that trump fans turn a blind eye to. He will cripple our kids and grandkids with debt.
for years.
You have to even ask ? In my 67 years I have NEVER seen a more ignorant person in the White House. I never liked trump but can't believe how terrible he is. Also Mitch M. and many others. They are SUPPOSED to be doing what is right for the people in the USA but are instead filling their pockets with OUR $$$ and being horrible.
trump is a spiteful, ignorant small minded man. He isn't even a good human. I am so sad at what he has done to my country. I hope we can repair this but not sure that it isn't already too late.
Swamp ??? no it is a sewer...a really vile smelly one. When we get a real president the White House will have to be bleached and fumigated to get out the stench .
This seriously depresses me.

China is out of the equation, they are producing at full force and taking advantage of the demands by hijacking prices and selling to highest bidder... US and Canada sold them tons and tons of medical supplies at regular prices.
China should return the favor to those that help them with their shitty products.
It doesn't have to be one way or the other for US or Canada. It can be both, Canada doesn't need as much as the US. Pissing on your allies is a bad strategy. It's just common sense. Canada is just another state. It's that simple.

Yes he is and more... but in the end someone will explain it in kids language for him to understand. Then he'll do what he does... peddling back to save face and make it seem he's being nice to his fanbase. You know... the usual BS.
Trump Says He Favors Unproven Drug Combination Over Ventilators
Now he's an MD.................but sure my company is doing rapid Clinical Study just for shits and giggles. I dont know how Fauci just doesnt punch him.
On Friday, the federal government's top virologist, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Dr. Anthony Fauci, specifically warned what further studies are needed to determine whether the drugs touted by the president will work against COVID-19
"We still need to do the definitive studies to determine whether any intervention, not just this one, is truly safe and effective," Fauci said during an appearance on Fox News.

French officials said they were outbid at the last minute by unknown American buyers for a stock of masks on the tarmac of a Chinese airport. A German official said U.S. interests diverted 200,000 masks in Bangkok that the Berlin police had paid for.
“We consider it an act of modern piracy,” the interior minister of Berlin, Andreas Geisel, said in a statement. “That’s no way to deal with trans-Atlantic partners.”
And German officials previously said the Trump administration had attempted to persuade a local firm developing a possible coronavirus vaccine to move its research to the United States, where presumably any inoculation would be available first.
Perhaps in response to the threat of shortages, the European Commission, the executive branch of the European Union, announced on March 19 that it was creating its first ever stockpile of medical equipment “to help E.U. countries in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic.”
Several E. U. countries have also passed new legislation banning the export of essential materials.
When the medical device company Mölnlycke Health Care, based in Gothenburg, Sweden, tried to send masks and rubber gloves several weeks ago to desperate hospitals in Italy and Spain from its central storage center in Lyon, France, it was blocked by France’s export ban.
“It’s very disturbing; nothing that is sent into France can be sent out of the country,” Richard Twomey, the chief executive of Mölnlycke Health Care, told the Swedish public broadcaster Sveriges Radio.
One French newspaper described the conflict between the Swedish producer and the French authorities as the “War of masks between Sweden and France.”
On Saturday, however, Sweden’s foreign minister, Ann Linde, said on Twitter that after pressure from Sweden, France had finally relented on the export restrictions on masks from Mölnlycke. It was “very important that the internal market works even in times of crisis!” she said.
Finland, ‘Prepper Nation of the Nordics,’ Isn’t Worried About Masks

Anybody who is desperate for hand sanitizers: Bathandbodyworks.com restocks a small supply of personal hand sanitizers early every morning. They also have some nice foaming hand soaps to make constant hand washing more bearable. They have a flat $5.99 shipping fee per order.
as a coupon shopper, I normally wouldn’t pay so much, but these are not normal times.

Heaven help us, we’re at the mercy of the Slim Suit crowd.
The Los Angeles Times reported that two months before the virus spread through Wuhan, the Trump administration halted a $200 million early-warning program to train scientists in China and elsewhere to deal with a pandemic. The name of the program? “PREDICT.”
It is said that nature abhors a vacuum, but this virus loves it.
At Thursday’s briefing, Rear Adm. John Polowczyk, who barely two weeks ago became the head of the administration’s supply-chain task force, added to the confusion when he defended the government’s decision to send the supplies governors are pleading for to the private sector first.
“I’m not here to disrupt a supply chain,” the admiral said.
Trump was elected to disrupt things. So disrupt.
The president seems oblivious to the fact that his own clown car of an administration bungled the priceless lead time we had to get ready for the pandemic.
With the death toll in this country soaring past 7,000, Trump is focused on the same thing he is always focused on: himself. He proudly told reporters Wednesday, “Did you know I was No. 1 on Facebook? I just found out I was No. 1 on Facebook. I thought that was very nice for whatever it means.” Our doom, perhaps?
Trump’s most defining qualities have been on display in this fight: He has been mercurial, vindictive, deceptive, narcissistic, blame-shifting and nepotistic.
At the Thursday briefing, the president brought out another wealthy, uninformed man-child who loves to play boss: Jared Kushner. Where’s our Mideast peace deal, dude? Surely Trump did not think giving Kushner a lead role would inspire confidence. This is the very same adviser who told his father-in-law early on that the virus was being overplayed by the press and also urged him to tout a Google website guiding people to testing sites that turned out to be, um, still under construction.

Trump administration ended pandemic early-warning program to detect coronaviruses
Two months before the novel coronavirus is thought to have begun its deadly advance in Wuhan, China, the Trump administration ended a $200-million pandemic early-warning program aimed at training scientists in China and other countries to detect and respond to such a threat.
The project, launched by the U.S. Agency for International Development in 2009, identified 1,200 different viruses that had the potential to erupt into pandemics, including more than 160 novel coronaviruses. The initiative, called PREDICT, also trained and supported staff in 60 foreign laboratories — including the Wuhan lab that identified SARS-CoV-2, the new coronavirus that causes COVID-19.
