Everyone is in a state of shock, panic driven, and yet it seems we're not doing a thing to curtail it...

About 2 weeks ago the Rebel had a news reports talking to people coming from Iran, they were not checked at all here. The one guy was going to self quarantine away from his family and even had the person picking him up wear a mask and bring him a clean change of clothes to change into before he went home. It is in an earlier post. In the early stages of the spread catching even a couple could slow down the transmission but too late now... 244 today... about 200 in one week...and if 79% were travellers.... then of the total 192 were outside cases.... even catching 10% that is 19 people not riding taxis, subway, GO etc. Looking at Italy and Europe we can expect the number will probably double that if not several times by next weekend.

Our useless gov't did NOTHING but form a committee .... the only time they started to show some mental activity is after Trudope's wife caught it and came home with a fever....obviously still no screening, so if she had the fever when she got home, given the high contagion period she was obviously contagious on the plane, in the airport and coming home and probably going to the hospital, add in security contat..... if they had checked for fevers and she had one coming off the plane, simple, off to quarantine ... but now our PM is in self quarantine....

Come on people, no matter how much screening was-is done, it was coming here anyway. Hundreds of thousands of cars and transport trucks come across our southern border daily.

Agreed. Nothing banned by this sitting of parliament. For the good of all you want to take away my ability to travel. For the good of all you want to take away my ability to own certain guns. Notice I said ability ,not right.

This “episode” will change the world as it should. Turns out China don’t only produce cheap merchandise. They also produce badly needed pharma products. Hopefully the idiots who run the world pick up on that. If I was Jason Kenney or any other Premier for that matter I would do everything possible to create a replacement supply for whatever that corrupt Chinese regime supplies us. It will be more expensive to produce here but being held hostage by your enemy is insane. Tourism will be seriously wounded for quite a while. The trickle down economic effects of scale back will trigger recessions. One irony is the Ontario teachers unions just lost their blackmail weapon. The kids are out of school anyway. Panic will quickly fade, but it will change how people consume until this virus gets controlled.

The virus wont be controlled here. It's going to spread like fire. Who gets very sick from it depends. Our only hope is a vaccine can be discovered sooner rather then later. People here dont self quarantine so theres really no sense to be closing down everything like their doing. There prolly thousands here that have it already and dont even know it.

It won’t be controlled anywhere. We are too afraid of offending anyone to impose any real quarantines.
Terry is right, the idiocy of our relentless greed has sent all sorts of manufacturing overseas, including vital medicines which are expected to be in short supply. The chickens are coming home to roost.

39 new cases reported in Ontario today. Last 4 days, 17, 19, 24, 39. That's a trend that says this is a long way from being slowed down.

Yep I was just going to post that thanks.

It's just going to continue some big jumps in the coming days. Remember there is a 4 day time before you know you are even sick.

The link the Ontario 39 cases on the closer and hut removal date . 14 in Toronto alone [emoji54]
