It’d be a great honour to be the first terb member to get infected. We mustn’t fear death. We should celebrate our next chapter.Cass in Ontario seem to be doubling approximately every 4 days. So the entire province should be infected by the end of May.
Thats why its better to lockdown now, then to wait any longer
Coronavirus: Are You Scared?
- Thread starter probyn
- Start date
It looks like a lot of people still don't understand that the only way to fight the spread of this is by social distancing and even with that it can only be limited. As some are trying to advocate for people to go back to work so that their bottom line does not take a bigger hit. It's a shame people are so selfish.
The USA will be around 200 000 confirmed cases by April 10th, that is if the idiot Donald Trump doesn't try to tell people to go back to work, if he does and people listen expect that number to be a lot higher.
In Canada we will be at 20 000 - 25 000 before the numbers start flat lining.
Again the only way this can be stopped is how the Chinese government were able to stop it which is with mass and enforced quarantines like they did to 400 Million people.

The swine flu infected 60 million in 2009/10. You and our government shouldn't be looking at China, but at Taiwan. A country that is managing to deal with the virus without crippling its economy.
The swine flu had a far lower death rate than the Coronavirus 0.3%-0.9% compared to 1%-3%.
It's too late to mimic what Taiwan is doing.
But as people Canadians and Taiwanese people are quite different from one another, what the Taiwanese government did would not be successful here.
If the last few weeks have thought us anything, it is that the majority of people in Canada put their own selfish wants, and their own selfish greed over the well being of the masses, their own families and communities. Capitalism at it's finest here and in the US.
Taiwan has about 60 000 people under home quarantine some elderly and some with the Coronavirus and others who were in contact with people who had to virus. But in Canada we have idiotic people going on non essential trips, and coming back from trips and flights and heading straight to work the next day spreading this virus. Putting themselves in contact with people who have the virus with little care for others well being and defiance of what the government has told them to do.
Heck some people here still needed to get laid so bad that they were still seeing SP's up to a few days ago.
That is why I hope Trudeau invokes the emergencies act so these selfish clowns can stay the fuck home and stop the spread of this virus. The sooner this happens the sooner we will have some sense of normality in our lives and be able to do the things we enjoy doing freely.
We can easily enforce quarantine, if we only wanted to. We have more than enough government workers sitting idle. Of course that would require the governments to put a plan in place and execute it. I estimate that, if they decided to do it, the program would be ready around 2023. BTW, the emergency you're so hoping for will only be slightly tighter than what you're seeing right now. People still have to leave their homes for variety of essential reasons. I've seen a total sequestration under a martial law, with a proper curfew and cops and soldiers with live ammo. And guess what? People still had to go out.

"The nearly 15,000 people at that conference were told on March 16 to self-isolate by the provincial health officer, who confirmed that several cases of COVID-19 had been traced to the event, one of the largest of its kind in North America"

S. Korea is popping off again. 100 new cases and 6 deaths overnight:

I am not trying to lessen the seriousness of covid-19 and please no one think that, but I still wonder if the numbers are rising because more people are getting tested as opposed to a lot more people actually getting the virus compared to a month or two ago when hardly anyone was being tested.
They finally started posting the number of people tested, the positive tests, the negative tests, and the ones still pending. At least they are finally posting this information. I was hoping they would do so.

100 new cases in Ontario today: https://www.cp24.com/news/ontario-r...es-bringing-provincial-total-to-688-1.4867566
The swine flu had a far lower death rate than the Coronavirus 0.3%-0.9% compared to 1%-3%.
Like I said above it's already way too late to mimic what Taiwan did or is doing, nor could we have been successful at doing it since Canadians and Taiwanese people are so different in the way they are.
This industry is a perfect example some people in Canada are more concerned about getting laid rather than worrying about the well being and health of themselves, the communities they live in and their immediate family or the people they are in contact with. It's ignorance at it's highest.
Unfortunately so many countries took the Coronavirus threat very lightly and waited until it was too late to act, they didn't learn anything from China as the only way to contain the spread of this virus is through mass and enforced quarantines and look where all those countries are with their death rates (Iran 7.0%, Italy 9.0%, Spain 7.0% , France 5.0%) and the unbelievable large number of cases.
I truly do hope that Trudeau invokes the emergencies act as soon as possible so everyone is forced to stay home and we can have some normality this summer.
I read a discussion of Italy's stats and why they were seeing a 10% or so mortality. The explanation is that most people see few symptoms or minor symptoms, tests are scarce so they don't get tested. So look at Italy's stats and multiply that number by 10 or so to get a mortality rate in line with China's. Similarly in the US, their test numbers are way low and here in Canada we don't test everyone who has had contact, just those who show symptom or more serious symptoms.
Half of Ontario's new cases are now coming from community transmission instead of mostly being from people travelling here as it was before.
That means its out there and spreading and not being tracked accurately.
Then, combine that with the fact that it takes 4 days to get results to tests here with Ontario having a backlog of tens of thousands of tests.
So Ontario's real numbers are likely much higher.
I think a lot of people are simply taking notice that this is not a joke and is not a flu, some simply think they have the flu bug and ignore until it's getting serious. When public service announcements tell you, if you have non serious sickness, give way to a more serious illness what do you think is going to happen? Those who have cough and fever but no difficulty in breathing would not get tested and assume they have a flu or cold...
Test kits are rationed.
Not everyone gets tested.
There simply are not enough test kits.
