OT - NO POLITICS The Coronavirus Covid-19

Spain: Catalonia puts four towns under coronavirus quarantine

While residents can leave their homes, they are not allowed to 'leave their urban core'.

 

[Spooner st]

Trudeau is restricting entries at airports, ports and borders to better control visitors.
And the usual financial monetary aid.

 

[Spooner st]

wonder how that effects travel to Vermont from Quebec when you have family on both sides of the border and 2 citizenships

You will be ok.

 

[Over the volcano]

Think a national quarantine is coming - doesn’t make sense to just cut travel and contact between countries and it’s in so many communities now.

Everyone hoarding toilet paper because of the Coronavirus

 

[Spooner st]

People waiting 2 hours in line to pay at costco.

Truckers in Ontario saying the paper distribution centers have enough toilet paper in stock to supply the whole country. Same in Quebec province.

People waiting 2 hours in line to pay at costco.

Ridiculous.

Aside from snowstorms with power outages, in terms of disruptions to everyday life, the only thing I can really compare this to is 9/11. And honestly it's worse than 9/11 at this point.

I guess the Watertown manhunt too, though I was in NH then and not in the lockdown region proper.

 

[Spooner st]

Grocers stores right now are selling in 1 day what they usually sell in 3 to 4 days. Just give them time to re-stock from distribution center. No need to panic.

My Brother went to a local BJs just north of Boston. Bedlam. Lines to the back of the store, people buying cases of water and TP like it’s the end of days. Hw saw a near fist fight over TP. His lunch break was only an hour so he had to just leave his stuff and head back to work.
Why is everybody buying TP. Genuinely curious

Government in Canada is recommending not to travel outside of Canada. Trudeau press conference in a few minutes.
They'll probably also closed the borders to visitors.

Yikes. I wonder what this will mean for Canadians living outside Canada (such as me—I was hoping to return to Toronto for a visit in May).

 

[KrejciMVP]

I just went to the Provigo down the street, stocked up and only spent 10 min in line. Everybody is going to Costco but there are so many grocery stores in MTL I don't why I'd go there. In Laval today cops had to be called at a Costco

Visitors must mean non citizens.

Speaker Pelosi is speaking at 2pm et about the Coronavirus relief package

 

[Spooner st]

Yikes. I wonder what this will mean for Canadians living outside Canada (such as me—I was hoping to return to Toronto for a visit in May).

As of right now, everyone including Canadians when entering Canada must self quarantine for 14 days. International flights only at selected airports, bigger centers.

Visitors must mean non citizens.

Everyone, if you leave the country when you re-enter you must quarantine. Except for truckers and pilots.

Ridiculous, just heard it on radio.

do they give the steps for self quarantine? I understand you don't leave the house, what if you have a dog and have to walk him?

Thanks. Well, that will put the kibosh on any travel there, for I can't take enough time off to self-quarantine and then to visit.

At night or/and early in morning when no ones out. you can go out around house or appartment, just stay away from people and use a mask and surgical gloves.

 

[Pookie]

Yikes. I wonder what this will mean for Canadians living outside Canada (such as me—I was hoping to return to Toronto for a visit in May).

You’ll be able to get back in. But will have to stay in isolation for 14 days.

At some point the quarantine will be dropped. After things are more calm.

yep, sounds like no trips to the States for a while unless I'm moving there.
