If you’re on EI, you don’t qualify? EI gets converted into CERB, doesn’t it?

I agree with this, it has become somewhat tiresome.

On a side note, had a wicked bonfire on the beach with some buddies last night #socialdistancing

If you were laid off prior to March 15th due to COVID-19, you would have qualified for EI instead of the CERB, if you were laid off after March 15th and apply for EI, then it gets converted over to CERB.

I don't think it's fair because the people that lost their job due to COVID-19 that has been approved for EI should still qualify but they won't according to the eligibility requirements.

Does Work Sharing apply?

Now that April has passed, we can see some different data.

Death tolls in USA:

Jan-Mar 2020: 5151
Apr 2020: 58,705
May 2020: 3588 (so far)

The official death count will likely go up with postmortem testing being done in some cases.

Ottawa (NEWS 1130) — The federal government is pouring millions of dollars into a Vancouver-based bio-research company, which is looking into the treatment and prevention of COVID-19.
$175-million to AbCellera Biologics was announced by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau during his daily update from Ottawa Sunday morning.
He said the company is doing a “very promising” work around COVID-19.
“They’ve identified antibodies that could be used in drugs to treat this virus. This new funding will help them continue their vital work, and will support human [trials].”

Trials will begin as early as July.

In addition to the federal support, the City of Vancouver is “ensuring AbCellera has the infrastructure needed as they accelerate finding a treatment for COVID-19,” Vancouver Mayor Kennedy Stewart says in a release published by AbCellera.

“We couldn’t be more proud to be on the front lines of this global effort thanks to the innovation and leadership of AbCellera,” Stewart add

No because you need to qualify and have applied for CERB in order to get the $1,000.

Well well well. What is done in the dark shall be brought to the light.

wait times

who know if the virus came from the lab,how would we even know in the first place if this is a man made thing vs normal virus that mutated naturally how fucking dirty we live.



they were talking about meat factory's and how 85% of pigs have Pneumonia before their killed,yeah these are animals that live and roll in their own shit but other meat factory's are just as bad with no walking space.

that kind of place is a breeding ground for mutated viruses,and look at past history with H1N1 that effected people pretty bad

Given that the Chinese government deliberately destroyed many of the lab samples/evidence immediately after the outbreak, it's hard to say whether the 'smoking gun' will ever be found.
But the mountains of circumstantial evidence certainly indicate that the theory it originated at the lab, man-made or not, is much more likely than it originating at the market.

what can the world really do though other than refuse to economically partner with them, which would be hurtful to their own economies?

seems like they don't give a shit and will just give the world a big crotch chop X

Apparently. These 2 were in Australia studying non-cureable bat viruses for 5 years

move plants to thailand/malaysia
that's what japan has been doing
we'll continue to hug their nuts though...look at how much help we've accepted from huawei the last month

If people really want to stop dealing with China they need to put their money where their mouth is. The amount of “they took r jabs” folks who would shit their pants at spending the extra money for Canadian made products is definitely a majority.

^Agreed. You can't have your cake and eat it too.

I don't think many people are paying attention to Pompeo alleging that China created the virus in a lab, and purposely hid information about the severity of the virus itself.

That's a pretty heavy allegation without any proof put forward by a ranking official.

The sabre rattling, or is there an actual risk of conflict? I honestly don't see it happening.

I think the source of the virus, be it a lab accident or from the wildlife market, is irrelevant. The relevant part is how they handled it in the first few weeks, and then their actions after that.

Plus as I said several times over the last year since the protests in HK started, this was inevitably going to happen anyway. China is distancing themselves from the rest of the world, becoming more and more insular, cultish, and villainous like North Korea. The virus just sped things up like crazy. I was thinking decades, but the virus turned it into months which is INSANE.

Yah I agree, I had figured I had a 10 year-ish window to visit some amazing sights around China that I had wanted to see before they became a hostile territory that wouldn’t be safe to travel to... I think that window is closing in abrupt fashion now.

It's the same issue with people bitching and moaning about how the restaurant industry has such predatory practices against their staff. If you want restaurant staff to rely less on being a tip heavy industry, then you need to support the restaurants that abolished tipping. Instead, those restaurants end up closing shop because they can't sustain paying their staff a fair wage after customers stopped eating there due to the increased cost.
