honestly I wouldn't. Those sellers just source from whatever factory is making them, everyone with a factory is making masks/test kits now. I doubt even 10% of them have approved products that actually protect you from the virus ie. most of them are fake or not up to standards. That's why so much fake masks/test kit news are surfacing recently. Foreign governments most likely just source from where ever they can. It's not even a question about cost now, it's just that the real factories don't have the capacity to suddenly produce billions of masks a month.

Do you like individual property rights? Of course you do.
Your nice car that you bought? Your home?
Those are not yours. Not If you're a socialist.

If you don't want to talk about it in this thread, don't bring up the system that, when implemented to its full capacity, has brought suffering and misery to those foolish enough to embrace it.
And i won't bring up the system that has pulled those fools out of their self imposed poverty.

China has been shutting down most of the major public venues again this week. 1500 new asymptomatic cases here in the last few days, so probably times that number by at least 10x.

On a side note, a friend flew back to YVR from Shanghai last week and he said there's literally no one checking temps or asking him about anything china related. He was traveling with a friend with a chinese passport too. No one stopped them or even mentioned anything about having to self quarantine. Went through customs as usual, and said was unbelievable how relaxed YVR was at a time like this. He's currently self isolating at home by choice.

Good morning RS,

I hope everyone continues to do their part and stays home as much as possible. I'll share what I can once I get back into the mix at the hospital. Fight the good fight. We can do this

It runs a little deeper than just "owning stuff".
It's what spurs productivity.

Contrary to popular belief, China has always been a global economic powerhouse (since about the 10th century). The 19th century was only the anomaly. Their reemergence in such a brief period has been evidence of their ability to adapt (only in the areas to benefit their strength) and dominate.

With their lack of patent laws, lack of regulations on safety and pollution, financial system, system of governance, they remove all hindrance.
You can not play ball with a country and expect not to get clobbered when the playing field is that far off balance.

It will be interesting to see where this all goes.
Fascinating times we live in.

Chinese doctors/health experts/etc are saying those with mild symptoms need to be quarantined in a separate location as well, not at their homes, where they spread it to family, or even others

Yes, absolutely! should try to separate. You can see it locally already

Case # 21 is the Lynn Valley Care Centre worker identified on Mar 5. On Mar 10, she is admitted to hospital.

Case # 29 and #30 teen aged boy and man in his 50's whom are both household contacts to Case # 21 identified on Mar 9.

These three cases are likely husband, wife and their child. What probably happened was, on Mar 5 she was tested positive, so told to stay home. While being cared for by her family, they get sick too. Knowing that she was admitted to the hospital on the 10th, she likely expelled droplets all over the the house that the husband and child picked up.

Some care workers are sleeping in their garage to avoid going into the house where their family lives. Others have a room and a washroom sectioned off using tarp and the person is only allowed in the tarped area while the parents use the rest of the house. Okami is fortunate to be able to live alone somewhere, but as we know is making sacrifices of seeing his family face to face.

Very frustrating to see our health officer STILL speaking out against the use of masks for those who are not "sick".
Even though it's been widely known for weeks that the huge majority of transmission has come from those who are asymptomatic.

"The explosion of COVID-19 cases in China was largely driven by individuals with mild, limited, or no symptoms who went undetected," study co-author Jeffrey Shaman, a professor of environmental health sciences at Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health, said in a statement.

"Undetected cases can expose a far greater portion of the population to [the] virus than would otherwise occur. … These 'stealth transmissions' will continue to present a major challenge to the containment of this outbreak going forward," Shaman said.

Theresa Tam mentioned today there have been 236000 covid-19 tests performed in Canada. Does anyone have a source of how this compares with the rest of the world? The google produced mostly outdated numbers.

Some other interesting numbers.
US has tested approximately 850k
Thats 3.6x the amount of tests in Canada.
They have 10x the population
They have 23x confirmed cases of the virus
They have an infection rate of 21% according to the tests
Canada has an infection rate of 3.1% according to our tests

^^ I'm very disappointed how chill Canada still is regarding this. They are willing to offer free handouts but not do a full shut down and putting more people's lives in danger as everything is an essential service.

This, 100%.

I have no doubt SNSC triggered the bankruptcy clause to abrogate any financial responsibility in terms of severance, and obligations.

There is no doubt at all their same locations will be "re-branded" and picked up by a new gym outfit (even by same investors and ownership).

This is capitalism for you.

Good luck trying to do that yourself though, huh?
