lol mg1 I shoulda known
I had a craving for some snacks just now, and went to the 24hr market at the mercato on commercial, and the place was busy... Why is it that everybody is buying up all the potatoes? 
Shelves were pretty barren, I guess I should say unsurprisingly, but I was surprised

Ah this corresponds with what some of my relatives were saying, that I mentioned some pages back ("fully recovered" patients having lung damage) https://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/...ients-may-have | |

Yeah if you have serious lung issues and need medical intervention to help you breathe, it's going to be a while before you can breathe fine again. Months and months, with possible lifetime decreased capacity. Ask anyone who's had pneumonia

Korean church sprayed salt water inside followers' mouths, believing it would prevent coronavirus. 46 people got infected because they used the same nozzle | |

Work is actually preparing for all staff to work at home if needed. I have no idea how they can get us all laptops in just a day. Tech will still have to go out and do their work which sucks.
To be honest working from home sucks I will be stuck at home for like 18+ hours a day @@

Mandatory work from home for us. https://www.clio.com/blog/response-to-covid-19/
The company decided this last week just to be safe, considering there's 300 or so in the office it makes sense.

I’ve had pneumonia twice. It sucks. But not the end of the world. I just have a much higher chance of dying. Hahaha. But seriously, just a lifetime of coughing and easy infections. I’m pretty active so I can’t say my capacity is any worse then it should be.

Trudeau's speech.
Non-residents are banned from entering the country, except for US citizens.

So far...................
Good thing I decided not to go today. Things can change as quickly as the weather in Vancouver.
I'm also going to self quarantine myself. Those filthy amuricans..................

I understand that it is extremely hard to close borders with the US with the flip of the switch. Hopefully this is just another step towards shutting it down.

LOL weak! Should have ban US citizen from entering as well since is getting pretty bad down there. What's worse is people aren't testing so you have no idea if you have the virus or not.
