Anyone have experience buying surgical masks from the many Aliexpress sellers? Half the price compared to the Artscow equivalent. ~$180CAD for 200 3-ply masks, shipped via DHL.

Stay away from Ali sellers shipping by DHL. You're gonna get raped with brokerage. Look for sellers shipping by epost or Ems express

This is actually why it was incredibly irresponsible for Trump to give false hope about the efficacy of the drug as a treatment/cure. Being in pharmacy, I can tell you that when he made that statement, it was at best anecdotal information being passed along to the American public as fact straight out of Trump's mouth on TV.

The average person does not have a good understanding of medications. Having talked to hundreds and hundreds of patients over the years, some people literally have no clue what it is they take and why. So when someone as important as the POTUS says on TV that this drug looks very promising, the average person can easily make the mistake (by similar names) that they have it in their household and it's the same thing. There was clearly also confusion that the couple thought it work as a preventative measure to stop themselves from being infected.

There's a ton of work that goes into making medications as fool proof as possible. The only onus on the patient is to read the instructions and take as directed; which, in itself, is hard enough as is for some people. By bypassing actual studies and waiting for verification of efficacy, the dangers of misuse/misinterpretation is extremely high. At this very moment, drug trials are being conducted in live time as we need to find something to treat this virus. Drug re-purposing is the only immediate option to hopefully combat this until a vaccine is created.

All of the above info is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to using medicine. This is part of the reason why it takes so long to get your retail prescriptions. They are taking the time to absolutely make sure you are getting what you're supposed to as well as how you're supposed to use it. Please treat your retail pharmacy staff with respect and patience. That's my PSA for the day.

For far too long, a lot of people have been treating their pharmacies like McD's.

Why do these fokkers who make/upload videos insist on doing the funky chicken? Repeat/rewind footage a gazillion times. It's fucking annoying. Adds zero credibility to the video. I guess it's better than slow mo, like scenes in movies where they slow action down for a few seconds then back to normal. Reminds me when voice alteration in songs was a big thing. Stop it!!!!!!!!

I'm not a landlord but do have a mortgage and my work has been impacted by the virus and will not be receiving any benefits as I will have minimal income coming in. I think tenants need to be working with their landlords and NOT against them in times where everyone is impacted. Banks can only defer mortgage payments in the most extreme of cases like getting laid off or at home sick with the virus and not earning income. The deferred payments will still need to be paid AND strata fees and other expenses will also need to be paid. My personal belief is that if you're a tenant and you're laid off or have no employment, allocate some of your CERB towards your rental payment (negotiate with your landlord what that might look like), but it's not the time to pool together to "show" landlords up. Many landlords like my mom does not profit from her rental income. A bit of a rant.

go browse the fb covid support group and you’ll see many replies like ‘don’t pay you won’t be evicted’ as if that’s the only reason to pay for one of life’s main essentials and the landlords don’t rely on that income to house you

You have to be pretty stupid not to pay your rent if you have the money. Your landlord may not be able to kick you out now but sooner or later he will sent your ass to the curb.

Leechers taking advantage of the situation. Why does it need to come to this when they should come to agreements with the landlord. With CERB and rent subsidy there shouldn't be a reason why a landlord/tenant can't agree on paying rent.

China provided manipulated data, and influenced WHO to give the inappropriate response plan
China is conducting an unprecedented FUD campaign to make it look good (not just not bad... but good, as the saviour of the world-good)

I'll go as far as using the following phrases:
Lest we forget.

We need to held whoever responsible accountable. This is not the time for Canadian gov't to play the nice guy image or political correctness. It's a fucking disgrace to all Canadians who died and those who are still carrying the disease, those who risk their lifes fighting to save the life of those patients and those who had to suffer the consequences of this disease; be it layoff, death of love ones... etc.

Lest we forget about them... about the consequences when you treat an authoritarian state as a FRIEND all in the name of TRADE.

Lest we forget.

Just wait till is over and if you don't pay rent. Good luck keep renting that place. I think after this a lot of landords is going to complain/band to together to pressure the gov to either have control about evicting or some landlord might just say fuck it I can't pay and declare bankrupt and let the bank take over their place. There is going to be less rental place and thus rent going up and landlord will even screen tenants even more. Landlord might force gov to create a database on tenants to see their past history with rent and if they pay on time.

Doug Ford you're a great canadian leader. Honest balls to call out The Trump show and remind us that we should never be caught in this ppe predicament again.

Dr. Bonnie for leading BC optimistic recovery numbers and Trudeau for being calm and level headed leader from the top.

Long ways to go but we can lowkey beat this.

Two employees at two grocery stores owned by Sobey's test positive for Covid 19:

Does anybody here shop at the Fresh Co Store in Richmond or this particular location of Safeway?

https://www.vancouverisawesome.com/v...ver-bc-2230075

On March 28, a franchisee employee of the Fresh Co store at No. 3 Road and Williams in Richmond tested positive for COVID-19, according to information released by Sobeys Inc. That employee last worked on March 26.


Three days later, on March 31, a pharmacy employee at the Safeway at King Edward Mall (990 King Edward Ave. W) in Vancouver tested positive for the virus. The employee had worked that same day.
Sobeys Inc. makes all test-positive information available to the public via their corporate website.
