That retard Bernie Sanders doesnt understand capitalism and how it motivates drug companies to come up with cures:
Most of the money for research has come from public donations . Just look at the amount of fund raisers that happen for Cancer for example . Public money is used for research . Most of it doesn't come from drug companies . Drug companies benefit from this . When a cure is found for something than the drug companies manufacture the drugs and charge a high price even though it wasn't their money that was used for research . That's bullshit .

Take for example the price of insulin . Why is it so high in the States compared to Canada . Why do Americans come to Canada to get their perscriptions filled . Drug companies only care about making huge profits and that's a fact .

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.

I have as much faith in Trudeau keeping me from getting ill as his wife does.

Only 700 million people may die? That's a drop in the bucket compared to human population growth projections. That 700 million will be replaced in no time. Better for us all to get the virus and allow the strong to build immunity and go on living while the weak die. It could be me, or you, or someone we know. What difference does it make? This is the most exciting time of our lives.

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
Mortality of 4% gives 150 million people.

This isn't even fun anymore. We have 7.7 billion people in the world and we're convulsing over the potential death of 150 million, most of whom are weak or old??? Mother Nature better come stronger next time. At least the economy will blow up from fear. We can only hope.

700 million deaths referred to by the above poster is something worth writing home to mom about. If she lives to read it.

If you die , can I get your toilet paper stash ?
Yes, legally it'll be all yours. I put it in my will.

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.
You’re asking for more than he can give.

I think you left out the part of what he should do, aside from punching someone.

I suspect there are many, many measures he could/should take for the magnitude of the crisis. Could you please suggest maybe 4 or 5 ideas that you'd like to see instituted?

Politicians are always reactive instead of proactive though, they'll wait till half the city is infected before they shutdown
Yeah. It's like they can't do anything until they check polling from their constituents, because re-election is always the number 1 priority. Sad but true.

They are now calling it the "The Apocalypse" in Italy.
The problem with this virus is that it attacks the lungs voraciously in some people.
Thats why it has such a high death rate (compared to a regular flu)

Why are people here such fucking lunatics about this thing? You’d think people here want this thing to be some massive apocalypse reading some of these posts. This is a completely egregious level of Misplaced hysteria. A lot of this stuff is anti-vaxx level pseudoscience. I almost want to just leave for a bit because I’m really getting sick of seeing this nonsense.

What happened to a million plus deaths by February 20th, PornAddict?
Are we still lunatics to you fucktard ??? Lol

I am not really scared. I do not really have international traveler in my clientele and mostly see the same people all the time.
Everyone poses an equal risk to you as you pose a risk to everyone else that is the vehicle for transmission. You will make your own decisions but be aware that those decisions sometimes become decisions you are making for others. Your comfort zone may be the weakest link in your chain of thoughts, a month and a half ago international travel was a contender for Canada's major concern now it ( Carona ) is being spread native to native! therein lies the flaw in your thinking Isabella. It's not my place to direct anyone we are all adults with access to the same information. I haven't come within ten feet of my parents in three weeks they are weak and both in their eighties my decisions are their decisions I don't enter their home and they don't enter mine the cost is just too high. Keep in mind everything you touch could infect you as the virus has a surface life expectancy of from a few hours to seven days depending on the surface materials so even shopping for groceries is now a concern. You can't eliminate the hazard so you have to try to control it and that is tremendously difficult but not impossible.

Take care

It's too late for that. We're at a 1000 known cases now... exponential growth. We will literally be Italy in a week.

China will be lucky to control it even with their drastic measures. It can rebound easily unless every single case is found, which is not possible in Canada and the USA.

Our lockdowns will slow the spread, but it will continue spreading until most people get infected. This is one rodeo that nobody alive has been in and we're all going on it whether we like it or not.

Have no fear and do not panic. It will leave a scar but it will not destroy us.
