Sounds like people are going to need special permission to cross into Gatineau starting today.

Toronto public health just said they estimate measures will stay in placd until July.

We are still at the early stages of this.

Quebec is funny.

 

[TheDebater]

Quebec is funny.

Not really, there is a reason for it, Quebec has the most confirmed cases in all of Canada (last I checked at least). If they are doing this, it is to protect outsiders and contain the spread.

Definitely not one of those "ha ha Quebec" moments.

It is because Gatineau is literally Ottawa. It's not like the virus cares about imaginary boarders.

You literally have to cross a river to get to Gatineau.

States in America are also implementing restrictions on interstate travel. Im not sure its as much keeping out one particular state/province travel as it is just why are you traveling and not sheltering in place and only going for emergency groceries. This is the only thing within our control right now that will affect the shape of the curve to be flattened.

The 1918 flu is the quintessential pandemic, [...] occurred in an era before international air travel, its movement around the globe was facilitated by troops fighting in World War I.

“It went around the world four times in one year when there were no airplanes,” said Larry Brilliant, an epidemiologist who helped eradicate smallpox. “That’s what it means to spread like wildfire.”

1919 was still a relatively backwards period in human history. It had only been about 30 years since they figured out tuberculosis was contagious!!! Hygiene habits hardly existed. You could go on forever listing deficiencies of the era. A simple cut, could get you killed.

I think this will be far more like SARS, H1N1 of 2009 and MERS.. So much is different today that, I doubt that the gravity of the situation will match.

So a multi wave period is probably not likely...

I have and have always had one issue.. This thing is a targeted killer..the elderly and the high risk.. Since we live in an era where we have the largest number of octogenarians and septuagenarians ever. Add to it, the era were modern medicine has relieved many people from early death due to various conditions/ailments/etc..We now have the largest number of younger, but high risk people in human history...This damn pox on humanity has been given the largest target group ever....

A perfect feeding ground for a parasite..

So?

 

[TheDebater]

So?

So technically speaking it is not an "invisible" border as you suggested lol.

You suggested the virus does "not care about invisible borders" which is true, but how is the virus going to cross from Ontario into Quebec (or vice versa) without a host?

If people do not travel, the virus cannot travel with them, otherwise how else is the virus going to "cross the border"?

 

[PatrickEaves]

So introverts living in an extrovert oriented world are told to suck it up because that's life for their entire lives, but extroverts are told to self-isolate and they can't even do it for a month before complaining and saying it's impossible?

So you are saying zero people should be allowed to cross the boarder?

 

[MakeOttawaGreatAgain]

As few as possible.

 

[TheDebater]

To be honest I do not know nor have I given it much thought to pretend that I know if this decision was a good one or not. I was simply responding to your original comment regarding the virus crossing borders.

All I know is that if Quebec does not have this under control then there is no problem restricting movement in and out of the province....temporarily.

What I am saying is Quebec is the largest province and we boarder each other. Gatineau relies on Ottawa more than any other place and many cross the river to work daily. It seems absurd that a small city relatively isolated from the major populations of their province would be anymore of a threat than say what the south shore is to Montreal.

 

[Dingle]

F'ng great...The government is now saying: we do not have sufficient supplies to deal with this.

I am watching TV and our guys are making trump seem reasonable.

Stop watching TV. That's the cure.

we are not all the same Stylizer...the average Canadian does not have much to worry about..or probably does not have much..I don't know. No one does. But there is a group of us who are different.

Let me give you a litany of my issues
1) My significant other has cancer..she had her results for her CA125 on the 10th..same day as the WHO pandemic declaration.
She has to be retested..the clinic she goes to is closed. There is another clinic but imagine the crowds and imagine the environment? This is potentially her third battle with it
2) My cousin in Montreal has intestine cancer..he was scheduled for surgery in late February..Cancelled... Have you any idea what every month of delay means???
3) My mom is 83..My one surviving aunt is 86 and is in an Seniors home in Quebec and locked down like a drum..One Uncle is 84. One is 76 and has heart issues. One is 71 and also has heart issues.
4) My stepson's wife has an autoimmune disease..My step grandson has had diabetes since the age of 3.

Do you see my world? In a nightmare scenario, I could lose a chunk of family.

So every asshole politician who did nothing, every other careless reckless asshole who is contributing to the spread and to the shit..I hope they get it... And I hope it wipes them out first.

Every prick who misbehaves, every asshole who decided his tan was more important than lives..every asshole who decides a walk around the canal is okay..I hope he/she is the next to get it and not survive it.

 

[PatrickEaves]

The problem with this stupid virus is that it doesn't kill enough people. It kills enough to overwhelm our health care system, but not enough for people to go: "Oh shit, it could kill me!" Like, if this virus was polio, people would actually be scared enough to actually stay at home, instead of crying about how a month of self-isolation is way too long, and that they need to see other people for their mental health.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

If it was that deadly you'd still have conspiracy nutjobs and other kinds of morons thinking that it is a hoax.

There are a hell of a lot of those nutjobs all over social media. Usually the "free thinker" and "everyone else is a slave but me" type folks. It's amazing how stupid some folks are out there.

Sweden wanting to speedrun the whole thing is so strange. What a bunch of idiots.

Buddy, Quebec is doing a lot more than most provinces to get this under control.
