Tissue paper is gone city wide I hear. It's happening guys, once the panic buy sets in! | Apparently they are allowing tests at non government sites next week. You just have to pay out of pocket like any clinic visit.
Stay safe, I’m in Saitama, so not so bad.

IIRC it was ~12/22/19 or so right before xmas last year, $1.65m in a day. When I started in ‘08 it was a rare occasion when we did million dollar days, maybe a dozen a year or something like that. Last year our total annual sales was something like $350m so if you wanted to do some fairly inaccurate math, you could just average that out to being 350 separate 1M days versus a decade ago or maybe 20.
I’m afraid to move and transfer. Would be bored out of my effing mind

Im Mr. Panic guy so I need help putting all these into perspective and also why some in here, if not most, dont seem to be too worried. Am I missing some key information here or is everyone just complacent? Mind you, i have a family of 4 hence why i am also in the panic threshold.

It's certainly wise to be aware of the situation, and what's going on in your area.

2 years ago I was certain I'd be a survivor in the apocalypse. Now with a 2 year old I'm confident I'll be the first to go. Used to never get sick, maybe one cold every 2 years, and didn't live a sanitized life either. Now I catch every damn thing that kid brings home from the snot nosed little shits at daycare. Been sick 3 times this winter.

The threat of this is more on a wider scale, as it spreads rapidly, and makes people who are normally at risk (people with pre-existing conditions and elderly) in grave danger.
So even if you get it, it's the danger of spreading it throughout the city that makes it dangerous.
So don't panic, but be cautious.

When he said "our health official" I assumed he meant Canada's and not specifically BC's.
Anyway, people should listen to the Federal Minister of Health.

This might sound dumb but I have never really found a real true answer from any source, but what are the start to finish symptoms of the virus? Is there a way to differentiate it from common flu/cold?

With Flu you would have these symptoms plus more - fatigue, aching (headache, muscle aches), runny nose, sore throat etc.

Seems like the only differentiation is the breathing issues but I’ve been reading that if you have trouble breathing it’s pretty severe and elongated symptom of COVID...
