Are you guys confused on the gov't messaging?
“It is ok if you’re not in self-isolation, yes you can go outside and go only with your family members and small groups…maintain those distances,” Dr. Henry said. “It is important for us to keep our health and mental health going as well through this.”
Justin Trudeau's daily coronavirus update: 'Enough is enough. Go home and stay home.'

I’ve been saying for the last week that Dr.Bonnies messaging have been completely mixed then I get hammered in twitter saying I’m an idiot and it doesn’t take much to understand it.
Clearly it does.

Dr. Henry also encouraged people to continue going outside, provided they are maintaining their distance from others. Some of the activities she recommended included dog walking, bike riding and playing outdoors as a family while keeping a safe distance from others.
Justin Trudeau's daily coronavirus update: 'Enough is enough. Go home and stay home.' | In my perspective they're saying, you can still enjoy the outdoors but don't be a fucking idiot and go to the beach if there's a ton of people. This meant we could still go out for a cruise, provided we stay in our cars.
Seeing that people are too dumb to figure out what the rules mean, JT's just like stay the fuck at home.

If any of you have a 3D printer, look into making medical supplies to donate. 3D printing takes time, so if everybody chips in they can supply much needed face shields and whatnot.
Example........ Quote:
Tinkerine Studios in Collaboration with Medical Community produces critically needed 3D Printed Products for COVID-19
March 23, 2020
Tinkerine™ Studios Ltd. announces that with extensive input from medical doctors, general practitioners, emergency responders, nurses, and pharmacists, the Company’s Applied Design Staff has initiated the design and 3D printing of the following devices:
Face Shield
Tinkerine now has a working prototype that was printed using its DittoPro 3D printers. The Face Shield will be presented immediately to regional health authorities. Tinkerine’s Face Shield has received strong input from members of the health community to ensure proper fit and protection for users. The face shield is a prototype design;
Ventilator 4-way Splitter
Tinkerine and outside parties are currently designing a 4-way splitter that can be used in emergency situations to provide additional capacity for ventilators. Considerations include cross contamination and a one-way check valve to ensure safety. The 4-way splitter is in early stage and is a prototype design;
Medical Use Goggles
Input from regional health members resulted in recognizing current and future demand for medical goggles for use in hospitals and other medical facilities. Tinkerine is determining needs based on input from medical professionals and will initiate design ASAP.
Tinkerine is also reaching out to its community of teachers and educational professionals to utilize their school districts and post-secondary institutions’ Tinkerine 3D printers. Tinkerine products are in use in 45% of all school districts in its home province of British Columbia. The Company is getting assistance from its Education Advisory Board and Teacher User Group, to create a collaborative pool of 3D Printers to produce greater volumes of medical products and supplies that are in scarce supply. Through this collaboration Tinkerine is working to deploy between 500-1000 additional 3D printers in order to address the COVID-19 healthcare crisis. In the meantime, Tinkerine has initiated discussions with National Resource Council Canada about additional expansion opportunities.
The Tinkerine team wants to thank all of the participating healthcare professionals for their assistance and would like to encourage additional members of the medical community to contact our offices about critical products that may be produced using 3D printers. We also want to express our appreciation to all medical and emergency staff for their tireless and selfless efforts to keep us all safe and healthy.

If companies are openly defying common sense during all of this, then they should be named and shamed and brought towards the news. People like you that happily hide that sort've information is exactly why a lot of people are still out and about because they don't understand the severity of this pandemic.

This is how the rich get richer and poor get poorer.
All non big box stores will be non-essential.
Remember it's not corona that took away your choice it's the goverment.

wonder if hardware stores (Canadian Tire, Home Depot, etc) will be deemed essential, would be a disaster if something at home busts and can't get parts

edit both quotes as of Mar 23 2020 |
I think the problem is people are at home, then told "it's ok to go out, just practice social distancing  ".
So they go out, thinking they'll just do what was instructed, and of course go to places that are busy af and realize that it's not possible to practice there, so they just say f it.
basically people just attempting to follow instructions instead of thinking critically.
What i assume anyways.
Aside from those who just don't care in the first place I mean.

Simple solution for the ding dongs that test positive and refuse to quarantine: baseball bat to the knees. Lets see the fuckers go out then.
After it all calms down charge them with attempted manslaughter or something. Quote:
