Are you eligible for EI? If you are, you can apply for CERB.
Under these rules, you're fine.

Mainly that CERB will be more lenient and more people will be eligible now.
Also, there was a point that Trudeau basically snapped. He's really tired of people, and mainly reporters constantly asking him when things are reopening.
So EI sent me a 500$ payment for April 4th-11th. But i already got the CERB payment last week. Why?????
Yeah journos and reporters are annoying about this. Even OP ed in papers are now all about ending confinement. Why should we take advice from columnist and editors about this issue again? It's not because you've interviewed 1 specialist and read two papers on pub med that you are an expert on the matter.
Still I feel media are hit pretty hard by this crisis. People have less money to buy papers, subscribe online or do donations and they were already in a precarious position beforehand. Kind of suck for that industry.
These rules are already out of date.
Most notably anyone making under 1000 a month can apply to CERB now, including essential workers like grocery store clerks and people who have had their hours/income reduced.
Yeah, I know they are out of date, but Faenix1 was still fine under the old rules, so they will be fine under the new rules.
Minister of Employment clarified the seasonal jobs. It's for those who are on EI, it's running out and need more benefits soon.

3 days left of test reagents in Quebec, but we're apparently able to create it now so it shouldn't lead to an issue. Not reducing the number of tests.
I wonder if the patients in ICU are getting better or are dying and that's why it's going down.
And now they're pleading for specialist doctors (who don't have anything to do these days) to go do nursing work in long-term care homes. Good luck with that...

So theoretically someone working full time could now make less than their 2 day a week co-worker.
That said the more money gets in the hands of vulnerable Canadians the better

Probably a stupid question, but it's hard to find an answer on this. Would this updated CERB for part time workers still work for someone is working a part time essential worker job who is definitely making less than $1000 but is still a full time student? I feel like it won't matter but students are always classified differently in certain financial situations because of loans and such so I have no idea what to expect. My girlfriend is still doing a full course (now online) but also works a few shifts a month for a grocery / pharmacy store. I didn't see any specific exemption listed for students who work part time but I don't know for sure. I know there is some concern of students not being reflected in the current CERB plan but I'm not sure if that's just for those who study and DON'T work at all.

I made the mistake of filling out my EI report and saying I had received money in the past 2 weeks, but had not worked during that time (it was my final payment from work before I got laid off), and now it says they need more information from me regarding this money before I can fill out the next report. But the number they provide doesn't seem to work? Or all the lines are busy? I'm not sure. Doesn't even give me an automated message. I tried a different number and same thing, just beeping sounds before the call ends.
Anyone been able to get through to talk with someone?

It's a way to compensate them for losing money. Specialists are paid for each medical act they do. All specialties and medical imaging are only doing P1-P2 cases so their revenues are down. They actually asked for financial compensation to the government for that but my guess is that the government was uncomfortable subsidizing people that make 400 000$ + a year. This way they will still pay them outrageously high up to 2500$ each day but they will have to do something in return.
He's hoping some will be greedy enough to accept. Still, like a journalist asked in the presser, it means they will pay specialists 15x the salary of a nurse to do the same job which is kind unfair for nurses.
Nobody wanted to work there before the pandemic and now that they are infested with COVID it's unlikely many will do want to so greed is an adequate solution.
It's supposed to be running for 7 cycles at least, but I imagine they'll extend both the length of the program and the amount of times you can apply.
It's almost like we should be paying nurses more.
Also my understanding is that a lot of nurses work part time in several hospitals as well, in part because hospital administrators don't want to bring on more full time employees and pay benefits (at least anecdotally, I have a couple of nurse friends who work at two or three different hospitals in the GTA for shifts prior to COVID), so who knows if that's also trouble in the making.
Yea, it's big trouble
Not hiring people full time so they have to work in multiple places is a huge part of this crisis now
Also private LTC homes that like to cut corners and lobby for deregulation
BC state of emerg continues for another 2 weeks.
Update:
+44 new cases
+3 deaths (first in the Interior)
-138 in hospital
-59 in ICU
-48 of our cases cases are linked to that prison in Mission, with 7 in hospital :(
Most importantly (not actually, but it's kind of funny), they announced an upcoming limited edition show styled off Dr. Henry's lol. All proceeds will go to the food bank.

Interesting thing I noted today, Fraser Health has more active cases right now than Vancouver Coastal Health
Pretty much everywhere from Burnaby to Hope along the Fraser Valley.
I believe the Mission prison is in Fraser HA's catchment area and maybe that accounts for it, if those cases have only just been added. Just based on what I found on their site:

Ahhhh I bet you're right. That prison is not having a good time 😔
Yeah, it's the LTC homes and prisons - places where people are in close quarters - where an outbreak grows like crazy by the time it's detected. They are also places where individuals who live there don't have control over hygiene, laundry, cleaning, and all of that kind of stuff. It really sucks.
Yeah. It sucks...
However, I'm also grateful that it seems like a lot of the care homes affected are being found really quickly? Other than the two or three hardest hit ones first, the other ones only seem to have one or two cases, so I'm happy for that.
It's true for all level of healthcare in a hospital. Where I work at many people whether they are Technician, Nurse, Technologist, Aid or you name it only have part time positions. The reason is that when your position is part time they don't have to give you full benefits (paid holidays, paid sick leave, paid day off for family reason) and instead pay you a flat % bonus on each of your pay. The disgusting thing is that more often than not you will be working full time anyway because there is always someone sick or absent to replace or you are constantly understaffed anyway. It's also extremely unfair to new employees. Healthcare is heavily unionized and when a long replacement or a position open up all of the other people with part time positions will have much more seniority than you and you will be left with literally the leftovers.
EDIT : Oh we are so in trouble

Mass COVID-19 testing needed, PM says as Canadian firm ramps up production
A New Brunswick company is ramping up its production to supply enough COVID-19 test chemicals to meet the weekly demand in all provinces, as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says expanded mass testing is going to be needed before public health measures are loosened.

Holy shit
500k tests sent out per week?
WHOA
No matter what we do, Trump will be there to fuck it up in the end.

Rip the band aid off and give it to me straight, Morrigan. What does it say? I know it's about the border, but how bad???
Courtesy of Google:
Basically, Trump has decided that Canadians are clean enough to be allowed into America again.
Trump apparently doesn't realize (or doesn't care) that the border closing was always about keeping unclean Americans out of Canada.
Trump wants America to be open for business again, so he thinks that opening the border with Canada could be step number one (since everyone else is fighting him to keep things closed).
The border was "jointly closed" by both the USA and Canada, as a way to allow Trump to save face, and the "joint" border closure is set to expire in six days.
