Big numbers damn

If we knew the real death toll in China, those would seem miniscule (not that ANY deaths are miniscule)

Most hospitals are already over capacity. Have a stroll through surrey memorial and you'll see beds all over with 4 to 6 hour waits to get in. :heckno:

You guys will call me crazy. With the world planning for a one-world government and depopulation. I am starting to believe this redhead.
Watch the first 15min and let me know what you think.

I can't bring myself to click it, even though redheads are hilarious to listen to

Someone was mentioning that they assumed airport screening must be more thorough than the border crossing (can't find the post).
Guess again.
I like when the reporter asks the woman coming back across the border if she plans on self isolating for 14 days as instructed and she responds with laughter.

Here's another good read. From today.

Says nothing about age groups of the deceased or if they had previous health issues.

What difference would that make? :fulloffuck:

It would explain statistics :seriously:

And what would that mean to you if most of the people dying are old and sick?

It's still killing people who would otherwise be alive, and still disrupting our lives immensely.

What would the "statistics" do for us?

^ could help those who aren’t elderly or have pre-existing medical conditions stay a bit more calm and help avoid sudden chaos.

If every demographic was in survival mode, society would be a lot worse than it is now.

It’s still horrible that people are dying, don’t get me wrong. But any factual data that could help influence less panic is a good thing IMO.

things are literally changing by the hour

by the time the pamphlet is printed it's already outdated

2020 is one for the books, this is 9/11 on the global scale for the new generation: kids will read about it in textbooks, case studies in business school etc

I disagree, everyone needs to be in survival mode right now. And calm. Also it doesn't matter how old YOU are, we have to think as a community. As a community, we have young people and old people. We should strive to protect everyone in our community.

NOT panic mode mind you, but absolutely survival mode. You should NOT be "living your life" like normal. Things you are doing should feel surreal and unfamiliar. Because this situation is.

I suspect the city you're in will be shut down once the numbers climb enough. That seems to be the only effective way to slow it down...

I'll repost this tweet since it ended up on the bottom of a page;

Great. Now I can’t do my laundry anymore.

Starting Monday Surrey is closing it's rec centers, pools and libraries.

Are other cities following suit? Wouldn't some folks just go into community centres that are open?

Aritiza (starting March 16) + GoodLife fitness + fit4Less effective immediately until further notice. (as of 8PM PST).

That puts Apple, Lululemon, MEC and Lush. Also The Bay and some other store and malls have their open times change.

I sense the government is gonna lay down the hammer and shut everything down this week. They've been warning everyone to come home.

I hope you all have an emergency fund and contingency plans in place to weather this out. Not trying to incite fear but this is the real deal now.

I think we need to start talking about UBI again

I mean it was always something worth discussing, but people are finally realizing hey, we can get fucked over with no control, and not everyone is rich enough to "save for a rainy day"

Maybe people will start to realize, all these people they rely on every single day are actually quite poor. Maybe the system is unfair and we should help each other out, and they're not just "being lazy"

I bet complete shutdown tomorrow.

Welp, I guess I'm fucked. I just recently graduated, maintaining a part-time position and now coronavirus... Wheres, my money cheat code.

I hope it is. Get everyone on the same page, get it started, and get it finished.

In my eyes it’s the most economically effective way to do it. No point in prolonging the inevitable.

Just like ripping off a bandaid. I just hope gold and silver aren’t what people are goong for after TP. Then we’re screwed.
