This one is moist excellent.
Essential Heritage Moistment Post
Hey im in Québec City too, been really wondering if i should go at opening hour or online shopping but wont know who the fuck touched my stuff VS dont know if i will bump into someone asymptomatic... since im in the higher risk factor :(
I walked past about 5000 of those fuckers on my way home form work yesterday. So many jogging side by side on the already narrow sidewalk, barely giving you space. Maybe I should bring a hockey stick today.
Hey, did anyone else here apply for the Ontario help for families benefit that pays out 200 per child? It said a minimum of two weeks for funds to be deposited but my wife's friend is saying she got it yesterday. She's a little flighty so I'm thinking she could be conflating it with something else but now my wife is concerned that I did something wrong with the application.
I'm in Québec too! Went to the nearest Maxi this morning and I was third in line. I wanted to go to Super C but when I got there at 8h30 there was already 60 people in line so I went home lol.
Of course they are, running with their months open panting is the same as yawning droplets everywhere.
Sweat flying everywhere.
Jogging in the city and parks hould be banned during Covid
Did you apply for the provincial money for the teachers being on strike a while back? I was told that if you applied for that, you automatically got the new $200 payout. We got ours yesterday and didn't apply specifically for the new $200.
I did not apply for the other benefit, neither kid is in school. That makes sense though, the friend has kids in school and likely applied for the strike benefit. I really appreciate the info!
Ha, sorry for the misread of your post. I didn't catch the friend part but yeah, that's probably it.
Got my CERB bucks the same time as my GST rebate and am relieved to pay all my bills.
Zero reporting. Zero documentation required at all. Pure honor system for now.

I think it's based on your income when you filed your taxes.

“Canada's top health officials say the country is on a short-term trajectory for between 22,580 and 31,850 coronavirus cases by April 16. Under that scenario, 500 to 700 deaths are anticipated.”

“Canada's trajectory appears better than many countries, health officials say. And while the country is in an earlier stage than other nations, they say that's allowed us to learn from the experience of others. As a result, the increase is slower, and per-capita testing is higher.”

Ok then my situation is weird as my service canada account says that my report is due and when I went to do it, I was able to report for 3 weeks.
I assume you applied for EI and got moved to CERB? Did you receive the extra-sized payment that some EI applicants got?
EI requires you to be looking for a job. CERB assumes you have one already (but aren't working for at least the last 14 days), or will be entirely unable to find one in the climate, and just asks you to re-apply every month as "confirmation" that you meet it's criteria.
Yeah I got moved to CERB and I did the EI report but I messed up and I need to fix my mistakes by talking to a rep. FML.
Weird.
I would be surprised if the rep gave you much static though. You report to EI to keep your claim open but now that you are in CERB,. The contents of your report shouldn't matter until you need to reopen your claim.
Yeah we got it automatically as well since we had signed up for the strike stuff earlier.
Here's the link to the federal projections.
Projected deaths are between 11k with stronger measures to over 300k with no measures.

PM Trudeau: This will be the new normal, until a vaccine is developed
Under the current public health measures — which officials consider strong — up to 44,000 Canadians could die from COVID-19 in the months ahead. However, federal modelling shows the death rate could skyrocket if efforts stopped.

That social distancing model sure overlaps with 2/3rds of summer :(
Not nearly as scary as the numbers without social distancing efforts. It blows my mind that anyone anywhere in the world would ever think that "opening things up" is a smart strategy.
Agreed, although one has to wonder what comes first -- wait for a vaccine or begin strategically opening things up again and establishing a new normal.
I can't imagine we (and the rest of the world) can keep this up for much longer without even further negative impacts to the financial well-being of every individual and business out there.

Things have to stay locked down there isn't an alternative. This idea that it's an either or is just not reality. If things open up sure in the short term the economy rebounds in some sectors but the infection will spread so fast it will be on the news daily and people will be too scared to go to work.
Imposing a controlled lockdown is much more palatable than general strikes and mass sick calls shutting things down. Nevermind Hospitals would be so overrun all the staff would get sick and basically not even function. There would be panic, no one would be working and the devastating headlines would kill the economy. Then... they have to shut things down to the max anyway to get things under control. Long term soft controlled lockdowns are the only solution.

The fact that care homes continue to be such a hot spot is so terribly sad.
I'm scared for my grandparents who all have between 82-90 years old. They're so vulnerable to this. Thankfully, they don't go outside and 3/4 of them live in apartments, but I'm mostly scared for my 90 years old grandfather who lives in a care home. I hope nothing happens to him, his (physical and mental) health is already fragile enough as it is.
I got $389 of GST refund today when I was expecting $0 and have gotten $0 for the past few years. Nice surprise.
Canada's moist modeling deck:
What's sad/scary is that they have an example graph that lists seasonal outbreaks.

It was just direct deposited into my bank account this morning.
You can check that on your CRA account if you will get anything. It's under "benefits and credits".
UK here. I'm watching a NY press conference. Am I right in thinking this Cuomo guy knows his shit and is doing the right thing, or is he just another political nightmare?
huh! I just checked my account and I got $188
There's probably lag based on when they wrote the report and also reporting up from the provinces.
