MERs/Coronavirus - watching? Will it change your behaviour if it shows up in Canada?

Well, many have said that one risk of the Trump presidency is that there may be a crisis that requires a real leader and he will either rise to it or not. There is little doubt that he was badly fumbling this as recently as early this week when he told Americans that “it would all go away”. Fortunately, he has no issue closing down borders and shutting things down; it perhaps should have been done earlier and our own village idiot still doesn’t get it. Perhaps he is getting the message now while there is still time to get ahead of it. I have to think that the nature of the USA, with a higher concentration of cross-country and regional flights than anywhere in the world, makes them more vulnerable to this thing than anywhere else in the world. Let’s hope they figure it out quickly, our wagon is hitched to theirs.

That Joe Rogan Michael Osterholm video has great info, and an interesting bit on CWD in the 20-25 minute area.

Smart thing to watch in the absence of hockey.

It's a bit of a funny situation how many people get mad at the media frenzy and fear mongering when in reality the media may be doing the most to curb this thing.

Let's consider for the moment that in canada a few weeks back most thought it was nothing to worry about. The media has now whipped up a virus frenzy. People are out shopping like it's the last black friday ever, which can't hurt local economies. The one thing that has everyone starting to socially isolate is the news. Social isolation is the main way the spread of this may be slowed.

Look whats going on inside China some cities are in total lockdown, some look like ghost cities. Wuhan looks like Chernobyl, fully suited people and trucks spraying chemicals around the clock. Many more deaths then reported. The numbers here of infected are going to multiply by the day, we are no where near controlling this yet. Those who have been laughing at the media hype, take a look at the amount of infected 2 weeks ago here compared to today. A month from now may change peoples minds

It's already popped up north of the city, Barrie has one and they closed down the Beaver Valley ski place. Just a matter of time.

And why are we surprised this is happening?
It is Mother Nature's way of cleaning house.

As hunter's we see animal population cycles.
Why should humans be treated any differently?

The world is over populated and leaders are looking to move and colonize other planets before the SHTF.

Justin Trudeau announces sweeping steps to tackle coronavirus in Canada

Prime minister delivers address from self-imposed quarantine
Parliament shuttered and curbs on international travel

Canada has unveiled aggressive new measures to contain the coronavirus outbreak, shutting down parliament and advising against foreign travel, even as Justin Trudeau urged citizens to remain calm in a national address delivered from self-imposed quarantine.

British Columbia, Alberta and Quebec have all banned events larger than 250 people. Ontario, the country’s most populous province, will close schools for two additional weeks following spring break, as will Quebec.

Late on Friday, officials in Toronto, the country’s largest city, announced the closure of all child care facilities, public libraries and community centres. They also announced the surprise cancellation of all spring break camps and urged residents to reconsider taking public transit.

Ok, here's one for the books. A friend of mine just got back this afternoon from spending 3 weeks abroad touring China, Hong Kong, Vietnam, and Taiwan. No screening, no asking where you've been, no 2 week self quarantine, nothing. Welcome back to Canada and go ahead and spread the virus. WTF is with this government...

Everyone is in a state of shock, panic driven, and yet it seems we're not doing a thing to curtail it...

Oh we are we are spending millions chasing down the infected and who they had contact with. Every case probably has a ton of workers involved.. They will investigate and quarantine them after spreading it . Then the ones that get away will pass it on to other and so on. They cant catch all of them.

Mind you it's a good system they are doing but it's ment to fail at a certain point in time. They just dont have the man power to find every person who has contracted the virus. .
But your right they should be doing more when they first arrive into Canada.
