to be honest
I felt Canada will be the next Italy.
I just don't see enough awareness on people.

The US is fucked. Testing is few and far between. People who are covered are fine, but there are a shitload of people who cannot afford the testing if they aren't covered. Here in BC, everybody can be tested for free. Universal health care, baby.
Costco on both sides of the border stopped handing out samples last week. Now where am I going to get my lunch? Gulolol.
All Seattle schools closed till after spring break. Three schools in the Lower Mainland are closed. Two out of the three are private schools. I'd figure public schools would be hit the hardest.

First case of a higher-profile soccer player testing positive in Italy has come through. He's a teammate of Cristiano Ronaldo, and they played Inter Milan on the weekend which in turn forces both teams to self-isolate.
Fortunately, Serie A has postponed until further notice. https://www.juventus.com/en/news/new...ion-urgent.php Quote:
The footballer, Daniele Rugani has tested positive for Coronavirus-COVID-19 and is currently asymptomatic.
Juventus Football Club is currently activating all the isolation procedures required by law, including those who have had contact with him.

I put on surgical gloves when at the casino. Lady at the casino restaurant says, "You need mask, not gloves." I tell her masks are not as effective as keeping your hands and fingers clean from shit on the slot machine buttons. I use the hand sanitizers on the gloves before taking them off when done. Hand sanitizers dry my skin and I have cracks because of sanitizers. I put on O' Keefe's Working Hands on before putting on the gloves. It really helps. "Thanks, Working Hands............I got my skin back!"

inconvenience is an understatement for me right now.
I am in the live event industry. The next two month is supposed to conference season.
Currently everything is either cancelled/ reschedule or pending cancellation.
Hourly workers are kind of screw at this point. This industry employs a lot of people and peripheral small businesses. This is going cause a ripple effect on the entire economy.
It’s looking pretty bad right now. But having said that. Having been in the industry for a long time. I do not believe there will be a significant “paradigm shift” as predicted by a lot of people.
Technology like VR and video conference have been in heavy usage for many many years now. Actual conferences will not come to and end. This is an industry that have survive 9/11, SARS and it will survive this.

Trump's previous travel bans were labelled as racist, so I guess these are as well?

Things are gonna start happening now that US is shutting down. Canada always follow suit.
It shouldn't be as bad as Italy as our population is way less and density is low, also younger population. Things r gonna start getting inconvenient pretty soon. Although we can't quarantine people like China and Korea

NBA suspending season likely means NHL follows suit as many teams share the same arenas.

From CBC's Bill Cooney: Raptors players were in close contact with the Utah Jazz’s Rudy Gobert on the court Monday. Gobert (who reportedly tested positive for COVID-19) played 31 minutes on Monday.

Assuming a 5 day period as the researchers say it's usually between 5 to 14 days.
Jazz played Celtics, Pistons then Raptors in the past 5 days. If it's closer to 14 then of course, WAY more exposure.
Then of course, those guys have all played their respective games for their teams after contact with Jazz's Rudy Gobert.
It's scary.

Whelp, you better watch out for your job in HK. The CCP likes to fire white people before Asians. (Not being racist, it actually happened)
Queue the job losses for large majority of Canadians. Hey, I might not have a job, but at least I'm protected from the miniscule chance of dying. Thank god I'm in healthcare. Can watch the fireworks.

I was never going to say "told you so" here. It was never my intention to humiliate you - you've been doing that yourself for like 3 days now.
And now you are introducing a bit of racism.
Please just give up.
