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

Still staying over 3.5% fatality rate... atleast 10X the usual flu...

"While this is not the same as its mortality rate, given many people may be infected but not realise it, it is significantly higher than seasonal flu, which typically kills 0.1 percent of patients."



Canada is at 424

Globally

Germany, Spain and Italy have their numbers going up fast... cases showing up in the Caribbean now.... Canada's cases are 74% travellers.... and no screening at the airports here still.

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

Well considering that the most successful treatments so far have been with a combination of HIV and Malaria drugs, there could be a lot of that moving around too. Just don't want to haul TP. Likely to get robbed for that stuff....

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

Yes, people are still getting the flu but you can only die once. One or the other.

For anyone thinking it's no worse than the flu ??. Tell me why we just declared a state of emergency in Ontario?.

The regular flu does not shut down schools , child care , casinos ,restaurants , public attractions, bars ,they do not shut down borders over the typical flu. The typical flu does not close international flights, cancel or change bus routes,lock down old age homes.

We are making history they typical flu does not get listed in these categories of sars ,mer, Ebola, or swine.

Yes the regular flu kills thousands over the year its doesn't kill kill thousands in a few days to a few weeks.

We are now in a state of emergency in Ontario and it going to be like that for some time. Our kids will not be going back to school in 2 or 3 weeks. We will be in the thick of it they wont send them back.

Keep travel open this let's keep bringing in our doors.

Here is a thought. The United states banned travel from Europe right.
Well we didnt they are traveling to Canada then flying to the USA ops. Just another loop hole ,they may of changed this already but it was happening. Just passing it off the next Canadian as they head into the us from Canada.

Too many people are still not taking this seriously and are so complacent.

Never thought I would say this as a conservative minded person, but a government order to stay home except essential services is probably a good thing. Our health leaders are speaking clearly and slowly and deliberately and not enough are listening

Weeks of happy fishing ahead!
