Of course I can’t find it now (admittedly didn’t look very long) but it was either on healthlink.ca or the WHO website where I read not to take Advil or Tylenol while I was going through the whole 811 process for my son. It’s on a credible website anyway but I questioned it and my family doctor told me to ignore what I had read since the Advil was helping with his fever. I was literally reading it from the website when talking to our doctor.. if I find spare time I’ll look a little harder.

so if china loosens it's restrictions, do they need to keep their borders closed until the whole world gets over the virus? if it started with one person can't it restart with one person? how does that work

the borders aren't closed, even to high risk countries like Italy, but subject to a mandatory 14 day quarantine.

What's going on in Wuhan? They closed 16 temporary Hospitals and let everyone go healthy or not. There are so many identical posts over social media platforms that China is the safest place to be and for all Chinese to return, lots are going back. China is recording very low digit daily numbers for new cases and deaths, is that possible? It's like they are getting set up for a major problem.

It's like an old episode of Batman.

Maybe they stop caring ? I hope not.

Have you guys seen the two videos of people collapsing in Vancouver and Richmond ? One video looks fucked. Guys In full suits carrying a person out from a home. There was a cop but he didn't have a mask on.

You should read the link you sent. The number is legit for you to call. But calls FROM the number are scams.

If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is. If it sounds too good to be true, and it's coming from the Chinese government, it definitely is.

Currently at Oakridge center, over 80% store are closed. Wife is at the clinic there and my god everyone is wearing mask and the staff there don't allow anyone waiting in the clinic ……

I feel this is unnecessary at all……

Here you go:

Richmond -

Edit: Richmond was a heart attack. Crappy CPR probably didn't help.

Vancouver -

That's not a fair statement because 80% of Oakridge was already closed prior to all of this..

A lot of places have removed their chairs and tables to prevent loitering. And it really is the right thing to do because the touch points on those cannot be constantly cleaned and disinfected. I believe most people do not want to wait inside an enclosed clinic at this time anyways.
