True. Just hit home as I have an elderly grandparent living in Europe and am freaked out at how difficult/impossible it would be for me to get back there if anything were to happen
That's fair, and I'm sorry to hear that :( My family who lives abroad probably feels similarly as the elderly grandpa of the family is here.
What do you mean? Era is full of epidemiologists telling people what's right or wrong lmao.
A must read
Records reveal chaos in the days before staff abandoned the Herron
Death records from the long-term care residence offer a version of events that challenge both the premier and health minister on the COVID-19 deaths.montrealgazette.com
Just a snippet of the horrifying conditions, insane that this could happen at all much less at a private institution where rents were up to 10k a month
I just want to take some time to talk about this. Yes, this situation is absolutely terrible. However, I am thankful that those 2 people stayed to work there.
Haven't come across any in stock unfortunately, but if you want to make your own here's 3 suggestions from the CDC
I've been doing the bandana method for when I go out.
COVID-19 and Your Health
Symptoms, testing, what to do if sick, daily activities, and more.
Elective surgeries was offered up as an example. It's not going to be anything like restaurants and night clubs.
Ah, gotcha. I didn't manage to catch today's presser so I didn't hear her elaborate on it.
Oof, fingers crossed the entire world can get ahead of that by the end of the year.
I see, so it's $1k per every biweekly report? That makes sense then.
That seems to be the case for people who get CERB through EI, one payment every two weeks.
Some parts of BC are disproportionately more impacted than others. I wonder if as BC starts to ease off the restrictions a bit whether recommendations to not travel much within BC will remain. Cases in Northern BC and the Island are substantially lower than elsewhere.
BC numbers:
+43 new cases
+0 new deaths 🎉 (first day without a death since March 26)
-119 hospitalized
-52 in ICU
-there are now 63 cases associated with Mission Institute correctional centre, 6 are in the hospital
Of our 1618 cases, 966 are deemed recovered.

Can't let up! 💪
Like Dr. Henry said earlier today, "this isn't the beginning of the end, but it is, perhaps, maybe, the end of the beginning."
We're killin' it over here.
Keep it up, keep it up, keep it up!
But based on how many test? Low number due to low test isn't exactly anything to celebrate for.
Our hospitalization rate and number of people in the ICU has been stable/flat for over a week. So if there's something hiding behind a lack of tests, it's not showing up there.

Goddamn I love my landlord. Was just talking to him about something unrelated (he was checking up on me) and he told me to just not worry about rent for the next two months. I told him I could still pay rent just fine and he was like "that's great, so save up if some weird shit goes down. Seriously, just not accepting rent for you for the next two months."
Like damn.
Like damn.
Antibody study suggests coronavirus may be far more widespread than previously thought
Non-peer reviewed study from Stanford found virus may be 50 to 85 times more common than official figures indicate
www.theguardian.com
So maybe the super cold my toddler got in early January was the corona virus afterall.
Damn....
Wish my land lord is half as nice as yours....
I've had the same reaction.
Seems like in Quebec numbers are stable and low except for the whole "CSHLD" (long term care centers) situation. I'm really tired of people going "oh it's Quebec (and Ontario) not following guidelines lel". People need to cut that crap out.
Definitely consider it! I got a clipper a week ago and finally cut off my (very long) hair last weekend. It went surprisingly great, like not quite barber quality (some stray long hairs and the fade isn't as clean as it could be I think) but surprisingly decent-looking. I followed this guy's tutorial videos:
If I can cut my own hair and get a decent cut on my first try, I bet almost anyone can.
which would mean bankruptcy of all charters(transat,sunwing and co), half or more of the remaining airlines bigger hotels everywhere (b and b should be ok with local tourism). but yes its possible i have a hard time seeing any short term tourism (1-2 weeks of vacation) possible . we can possibly think about long term (1month or more with quarantine being allowed) . however I see one possibility to allow tourism, quick reliable covid tests taken before flying at the airport (like 15 minutes one I read on major news sites that emirates have been starting doing that 2 days ago) I m sure if its what it takes to put the economy back on trail huge efforts will be made to allow that. the 12-18 month schedule is horrific , not for people being denied their yearly winter vacation but for the countries who rely on tourism for huge part of their economy like the carribean. Major poverty and probably famine .

I've noticed the same thing. It's gonna set us back.
But I can get the appeal. I'm beginning to fray myself. I've been doing social distancing for more than a month and it's so mentally taxing
I would think insurance companies won't be too hot on you going abroad and catching COVID in another country as healthcare cost can be exorbitant abroad. It's one reason why many snowbirds had to come back as they don't want to pay for your hospitalization abroad.
I also wonder how people are going to be financially when travel finally open again.
Maybe those charters can fly domestically? I've only been to 2 provinces...but part of that is the high domestic air fare.....
yup my employee travel insurance has been amended to remove covid coverage so thats a very good point. i would not travel to the states for sure . Honestly don't know how to deal with that point. So many factors to think of
there is already over capacity with aircan westjet and porter on most destinations, can't seen them succeeding with their fleet of b737 or airbus 340 to be cost competitive especially with less travelers than usual in domestic too. would love to be wrong my job depend on it, I need planes in the air to keep it. I also need planes in the air and some border open (even with restrictions) to be able to go see my girlfriend . Can't imagine not seeing her for a year or more
My concern with BC's reporting is the number of tests that are being done daily.
It was mentioned above that BC is doing roughly 1,000 tests daily, and from that they are reporting 43 new cases in the last 24 hours.
Meanwhile Alberta performed 3,800 tests in the last 24 hours, and is reporting 239 cases.
I want to believe that BC is getting over the bump, but I'm concerned that the number of tests is skewing the results.

Yeah, Alberta's numbers havent been much different than BC until very recently. Alberta is now testing everyone with symptoms
BC isn't "killing it". Their health service badly needs to expand testing criteria.
