There was an arctic explorer (forgot his name) who hunted polar bears for food and made the fatal mistake of eating the entire polar bear liver. A few hours later he got very sick and dropped dead. Reason for that is polar bear liver is very high in Vit. A.
So basically he died of Vit. A toxicity
Ita good timing that its march break but yeah. 1 weeknkr 2 from now there could be a surge in numbers of infected due to this.
If an antidote to COVID -19 is developed, it will be done in Winnipeg at the NCCID (National Collaborative Center for Infectious Diseases). The Americans ppffff, their health care system is so loaded down with red tape, they can't even get out of the starting block. It was the NCCID that stopped Ebola from spreading beyomnd West Africa.
If Toronto heads for a lockdown, how many strip joints are gonna go tits up?? (pun intended).
I wouldnt wanna go anywhere near a stripper who has just lapdanced for 20 different customers

The spas are feeling it from what I hear, and to a smaller degree the agencies. But the larger dip is coming.
I suppose discounts & reduced pricing is something we can look forward to.
Its airborne, folks. That means most of the country will eventually catch it

Some say you can be reinfected. But they are still learning about this strain, so take that with a grain of salt.
U.S. President Donald Trump has suspended all travel from Europe for 30 days to impede the transmission of COVID-19.
The United Kingdom will be exempt.
The travel ban goes into effect at midnight on Friday.
The United States has more than 1,200 confirmed cases of the novel coronavirus so far.

TERB has 185,594 registered accounts. If the mortality rate becomes 6.6% in the GTA, this will result in the death of over 12,000 TERB members. Maybe more due to the demographic.

HUBEI, China - The novel coronavirus strain responsible for the recent deadly global outbreak is more contagious than SARS and MERS, according to a new study from the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention.
Researchers analyzed data from over 72,000 confirmed and suspected cases of COVID-19 and found that the novel coronavirus is more contagious than the related viruses which cause SARS and MERS.

Summary
Currently, the emergence of a novel human coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, has become a global health concern causing severe respiratory tract infections in humans. Human-to-human transmissions have been described with incubation times between 2-10 days, facilitating its spread via droplets, contaminated hands or surfaces. We therefore reviewed the literature on all available information about the persistence of human and veterinary coronaviruses on inanimate surfaces as well as inactivation strategies with biocidal agents used for chemical disinfection, e.g. in healthcare facilities. The analysis of 22 studies reveals that human coronaviruses such as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) coronavirus, Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) coronavirus or endemic human coronaviruses (HCoV) can persist on inanimate surfaces like metal, glass or plastic for up to 9 days, but can be efficiently inactivated by surface disinfection procedures with 62–71% ethanol, 0.5% hydrogen peroxide or 0.1% sodium hypochlorite within 1 minute. Other biocidal agents such as 0.05–0.2% benzalkonium chloride or 0.02% chlorhexidine digluconate are less effective. As no specific therapies are available for SARS-CoV-2, early containment and prevention of further spread will be crucial to stop the ongoing outbreak and to control this novel infectious thread.
