Don't think we have many cases here in Canada yet - okay - just looked it up:
My one daughter works in a pharmaceutical manufacturing/packaging company. As part of her job she often has to go into the many production areas for support. One room requires her to wear a HASMAT suit and respirator. She uses a hand sanitizer after she goes into any room that has a potential danger. Since the outbreak of COVID-19 she says everyone comes to her desk and uses her hand sanitizer and she is now running out. She asked me to pick some more up for her. I visited 5 places in the last two days and they were all out of stock.
It probably will spread. Busses, trains are perfect places. A touch, a cough, a sneeze and it can spread. up to 2 m from origin source. So if people travel to Manitoba chances are that sooner or later someone infected will make that trip. I have found its very different how people react. The first infected in Sweden, a woman, was extremely sensible. She realized that that she was contagious. So she called friends, asked them to deliver food outside her door but absolutely not to come in. When they had rung the door, left the food after a while she got the food. She put herself in quarantine successfully. Didn't infect anyone and eventually got well. Another, a man, got home sick from Milan (that ought to have been a clue) Then traveled with both bus and train in sweden and is thought to have gotten in contact with at least 20 people. The thought being "it cant happen to me". We have at least 4 cases in Stockholm as of today.Don't think we have many cases here in Canada yet - okay - just looked it up:
(those we have are in other provinces: 18 in Ontario, 8 in BC and 1 in Quebec)
Out here in the middle of the country we don't have any (in Manitoba)
It's pretty cold here but I don't think that has anything to do with the virus - I heard the best prevention is to wash your hands frequently
Well, we'll sit on the curb out front and watch. Laugh & throw beer cans at it as it goes by.We’re all screwed. The flu most people get these days is a variation of the 1918 Spanish Flu. The coronavirus COVID-19 will not be wiped out. It will probably last for a hundred years or more is some variation. Everyone will catch it in the next couple of years. It’s inevitable, so sit back and enjoy the ride.
LOL. Get off my lawn you damn virus.Well, we'll sit on the curb out front and watch. Laugh & throw beer cans at it as it goes by.
Exactly!LOL. Get off my lawn you damn virus.
Stay safe!
Don't forget the aluminum foil hat!.......and use the heavy duty Reynolds wrap, not the cheap dollar store stuff......yeah I know where you get your plastic spoons!....same place I get mine.I made a mask. It may not work against the virus but it should keep people with the virus away from me.
I knew it! I knew it.....dang Greedos......
