There are no substancial evidence that if you are a weed smoker you are endanger. What the experts say is that when you're down with the flu virus or any lung implicating virus, the last thing you want is to inhale hot smoke because it will complicate your health further. And also passing around a joint or bong is another danger to this. I would say, refrain from smoking right now...the problem is cigarette smokers can't help themselves...

Read somewhere that if one should die of Covid-19 it will only take 14 days to 30 days.
My understanding is that for most of those that have died of COVID-19, they actually died within 7-10 days of infection. This infection can advance incredibly quickly in those with weak immune systems, or other significant underlying health conditions.

You're saying weed causes lung damage? I'm just talking about weed included in your post.
I'm saying someone who smokes cigs or weed heavily has reduced lung capacity. So if you throw a virus like Covid-19 that attacks the lungs on top of that, it makes it extra worse for pot or cig smokers.

Thats why its best to maybe stick to edibles until this thing blows over

Effect on lungs

Smoking decreases your lung capacity, which can cause a smaller volume of oxygen to reach the bloodstream, resulting in less oxygen getting to the blood. Smoking is in fact the single biggest cause of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) – a term covering for a number of conditions like emphysema and chronic bronchitis. The chemicals damage the airways and lungs which leads to the development of this long-term condition.

Takes your breath away

Smoking can literally take your breath away as it can, within seconds, cause a two- to three-fold increase in airway resistance. It can also cause chronic swelling of the mucous membranes of the airways, which adds to resistance. The tar in cigarette smoke also adds to airway resistance as it coats the lungs, reduces the elasticity of the air sacs and results in the absorption of less oxygen

Some expert on CNN last night said young people who smoke cigarettes, who smoke marijuana, or who vape are at greatest risk of being hospitalized
Finally some good news. Potheads and cancer stick lovers can get an early start on emphysema.

At its current rate of infection (9% increase daily) half the world will be infected in about 100 days.
Half the world's population is 3.8 billion people.

It will actually be more than that because many infected people will never be tested. Especially in 3rd world countries

I'm not scared but I am taking precautions. What "scares" me is people who refuse to take precautions.

Stay home if you can, only go to public places when absolutely necessary, and ffs, wash your hands thoroughly and often.

The quicker everyone does this, the quicker this thing will end.

And last but not least, stop it with the bloody hoarding already.

The government is paralyzed with fear.

This is where the real Justin Trudeau should step up.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was the one who said, "get the fuck out of my way" to some useless socialist in Parliament then he manhandled someone back to their seat.

The father said fuddle duddle in Parliament, so has the son.

But sonny is surround by feminist who has pussified him. Now is not the time to be a pussy.

The contagion is running wild killing people, the economy has collapse and people will starve soon.

Justin Trudeau owes it to this country to immediately punch someone in the fucking mouth like Chrétien did and get on with it.

Leadership is fucking needed in a time like this.

Not some environmental study with those leftist, specialist interest groups, and other mother fucking stake holders.

Fuck them all.

Time for Trudeau to act. Act alone.

The current model predicts roughly 60% of the global population will be infected within a year. Using the current mortality rate in Italy that would be 10% of 7 billion or 700 million deaths.

The only reprieve we can hope for in not reaching these statistics lies with each of us doing what is necessary.

Considering the minimalists on this board ( no offence ), St. Patricks day parties, spring breaks mayhem ( drunken teenagers laughing because only the elderly will die ) and the anti lockdown protests in France I believe unfortunately that we will succumb to the projected statistics due to the global average of people having little care or concern for what they perceive as the common flu or cold.

I am not afraid of that happening, though I sincerely hope it doesn't. The world needs to change and it does so in ways that we aren't always in agreement with and at a cost we are not willing to pay, but, change it will. This is a natural process you can't take it personally although the cost to everyone on a personal level could be staggering.

I am erroring on the side of caution making myself one of the laughable nut's that overacted. I genuinely hope when all this is over and I was wrong everyone can take a shot at me, within each of which, I will feel relief in having been wrong. Until then good luck.

43 new cases and 1 death in Ontario today: https://globalnews.ca/news/6701449/ontario-coronavirus-covid19-cases-march-19/

At this point isnt it smarter to go into lockdown right now??
Whats the point in waiting since many stores/offices are closed and very little work is getting done anyways
Canada should already lockdown like we're doing worse than Italy. We should really think we're having it bad already. That's the only way to slow this down. If we're still complacent about this, it's only gonna get worse.

Politicians are always reactive instead of proactive though, they'll wait till half the city is infected before they shutdown

The sooner they make that drastic decision...the sooner this gets over with...and when I say sooner...probably weeks or months.
