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

Let us put things in perspective.

Data from the CDC. Your welcome to browse the tables from previous years and draw your own conclusion independent of the media.

CDC estimates that the burden of illness during the 2018–2019 season included an estimated 35.5 million people getting sick with influenza, 16.5 million people going to a health care provider for their illness, 490,600 hospitalizations, and 34,200 deaths from influenza

Please explain how this new covid-19 is any different?
It would be that there is a sudden surge and happening all at once. It is overwhelming the health care system with the sudden rush.
You hear them say they need to flatten the curve so the system can cope but the yearly end result will be the same.

People are still getting the flu. On top of COVID 19. COVID doesnt replace the flu, its in addition to it.

Will next Monday hit 1000?

I'm not sure I said I think Wednesday when there was 40 I said it would be 200 by the end of the weekend. By Friday night at 1130 pm it was almost 200 by the weekend ens was like 360.

1000 by next Monday is totally possible maybe before that.

Well, it seems there is a bright side to this virus after all. Because factories have either slowed production or shut down completely, air and water systems are actually much cleaner now. Who'da thunk it?

Just got Email from boss. We are Exempt from all travel and Border Restrictions. We may be Exempt from Hours of Service Regulations if they declare a State of Emergency.

Wife works in health care, and Canadian Government has placed me in a required class/service.

My question is if all the people are hiding at home and too scared to go out, how much stuff can they be buying?

If you’re hauling food, there won’t be a shortage of buyers anytime soon.

You do the same as the video Canadianman shared.

You go out get your supply's and get back to isolation . Might be the only time you get out that week.

I'm glad im not in town lol. I can walk for miles out in the back and not see a sole. [emoji106]

Being stuck in the city that would suck I will have bon fires still. Leafs gotta get cleaned up ,winter came to fast before the clean up. Lots to do under isolation gardens to plant lol.

Have fun driving on baron highways , it will be nice for a change lol.
