I think half the country is out of their friggin minds ffs! On average 3000-3500 deaths from flu every year in Canada & were panicking over one facking dead guy at a old age home...I must be missing something?

I get the fact you don't want it to spread but closing schools & calling off professional sporting events, concerts etc & putting panic into the people isn't going to solve anything. If you 65+ wear a god damn mask when you go out(anyone at risk or collecting a pension should automatically be entitled to them), be extra vigilent in washing your hands like an OCD person & don't attend large events with unkown people & don't get on a effin cruiseship period or a plane to a country that's infested with it...it's common sense. The rest of us will fight it off like we fight off the flu ffs! Your killing the god damn market...enough!

Look up Spanish Flu 1918 and the Philadelphia parade. Perhaps we can learn something from that debacle.

One study shows that even in people that only have mild symptoms after infection, suffer long term lung damage. Have to wonder what long term impact the virus has on developing children who apparently show no symptoms.

A man in Japan also got re-infected by the virus after recovering from his original infection. So it's possible to keep getting sick from the virus repeatedly.

So happy I listened to my heart and God while building my bunker. Everyone said I was crazy, can you believe that!!!??

You can never be too prepared. "Better to have a gun and not have to use it, then to not have a gun and need it."

Today, everyone is a threat to your life.

Breaking News: Researchers at Sunnybrook in tandem with the UofT have isolated the virus, they are calling it SARS COVID - 2. This is a major step in finding an antidote.

I told you we would make progress before the Americans did. Their Health Care system is too bloated to make progress. Bernie Sanders is right.

What does this mean and why is it a big deal?

Escort in Loblaws the pink jacket? She was cute. Got a ham sandwich with her name on it.

Could Pickering nuclear plant go offline or even into a meltdown if too many employees are off sick??

Do we have any city workers who can answer this??

You cannot make progress on a vaccine unless you identify what the virus actually is. The researchers are from the University of Toronto (rated one of the best medical universities in the world) at Sunnybrok labs. Now it's up to the NCCID in Winnipeg to develop a vaccine. Like they did for Ebola and Jakob - Creutzfeldt Disease (Mad Cow). Now the coronavirus officially has a name SARS COVID - 2...that's how winnin is done!

Let's hear it for the folks in the white coats.

A possible treatment against covid-19 from DARPA

The Pentagon's most secretive military research department is developing a therapeutic "shield" that could provide a new way to boost American's immunity to Covid-19, reported DefenseOne.

https://www.defenseone.com/technolo...e-have-coronavirus-therapeutic-summer/163659/

DARPA's Pandemic Prevention Platform Could Develop Therapeutic "Shield" To Fight Covid-19 By this Summer.


The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency's (DARPA) Pandemic Prevention Platform (PPP) is not in search of a vaccine against the fast-spreading virus that is now considered a pandemic, but rather is developing an advanced therapy that seeks to boost the immune system of people until an actual vaccine is developed. The result could prevent hospitals from being overwhelmed by sick people.




DARPA scientists working on PPP have been sequencing the B cells of a Covid-19 patient who has recovered. B cells, also known as B lymphocytes, are a type of white blood cell that produces antibodies that aid the immune system in its fight to fend off an invading microorganism.


"We are able to take a patient that has recovered from this pathogen [Covid-19], for example, and we are able to sequence many of their B cells. So those cells that make those antibodies that help protect you against those pathogens? We are now able to sequence all of those because of next-generation sequencing approaches," Dr. Amy Jenkins, manager of PPP, told DefenseOne.

If scientists can successfully sequence the B cells, they could create a new therapy with a "manufacturing timeline" in a little over three months, Jenkins said. It would buy some time, considering a proven vaccine is 12-18 months away.


PS. Let's hope it work out. Needed to hear some positive news. I beginning to get PTSD from reporting on Covid-19.

How much toilet paper did you buy?

Any reports of stabbings or shootings for this hot commodity?
