Do you think it's gonna be like the sars epedemic? Face masks are selling out lol I remember when Sars hit I didn't eat dimsum for a year lol Apparently it has reached Montreal and they are saying it's most likely here already. Im in Markham and I could only imagine what a full outbreak would look like.

https://globalnews.ca/news/6462626/coronavirus-toronto-hospital/
Ontario health officials have announced that a “presumptive” case of coronavirus has been confirmed at Toronto’s Sunnybrook hospital, marking the first such case in Canada.
In an evening press conference at Queen’s Park, officials said they were made aware of the case Saturday afternoon.
The victim is a man in his 50s who recently travelled to Wuhan, China, which is believed to be the epicentre of the outbreak.
His condition is stable, officials said.
The illness has sickened more than 1,200 people and killed at least 41 in China.
Australia and Malaysia reported their first cases Saturday — four each– and Japan, its third.
France confirmed three cases Friday, the first in Europe, and the U.S. identified its second, a woman in Chicago who had returned from China.

Plenty of talk in Markham. So much so that cf Markville had to put out a formal statement saying no employees went to wuhan or are in quarentine. Lol also seen a pic of a dude with a full face mask on at the cashier at a grocery store

Apparently the CCP told healthcare practitioners to sweep it under the carpet, tell people who displayed symptoms that it was just a cold and stay home. They didn't want the public to panic, so these old folks just went home thinking it was nothing serious.

Meh, let them get Bird Flu. Don’t want it? Wash your fucking hands, and bark at any asshole who doesn’t.
I was at Sunnybrook when the crew brought in the first patient. The medics and nurses at the Brook did everything right for containment, but in the end to stop the spread, it’s just basic on our part.
People trying to steal hand sanitizer from hospitals but don’t even wash hands. Yesterday I had to tell people at Humber River “that mask you just put on does nothing to protect you... it’s for the person who has a fever so it decreases the radius of potential droplet contamination.” So they took it off.
If you have a fever, stay the fuck home. And still wash your hands! 😂
we miss reading your stories while on the job. any chance you'd post more of your stories?

So. Internet. Yeah.
The source of those Costco photos are unknown.
And people then say it’s their local Costco. I don’t even know if it’s RH anymore ...

I hate how some people are treating it like the Apocalypse. Like we get it, you are trying to stock up on a few supplies. But shit like water, batteries, extra freezer to store 3 months of food. Last I checked there is still electricity and water and all stores are opened.

People are cattle.
My big concern would be food in case grocery stores are shut down due to quarantined employees/etc, aside from that there isn't much you can do in a situation like this imo.
I don't understand why people stock up on water, unless you are buying water by the gallons you are wasting your time. If our water supply is compromised we are all fucked in days, then you gotta go to whoever has well access, rely on water purification tablets, etc.
I am not a prepper, have basics, but most shit people do is just stupid, which is right on par with emotional overreaction.
In the end the guy with a gun and ammo wins anyway hah (at least temporarily).

All this hoarding will just lead to more spreading. If I get it and don't have the supplies I need, I'll be driving around town going everywhere trying to get what I need while infecting everyone along the way.

Went to costco, was busy-ish normal for a Friday. When you walk in they had extra people wiping down the handle of your cart with lysol wipes. Thanks bro, that did it!
Nothing was out of stock but i did see certain ethnicity (SHOCKER) continually ask for hand sanitizer that was sold out.

Man what a bunch of degenerates everywhere. I usually do groceries mid week, I was going to do them last night but because of all the dumbass corona shit i postponed until today.
Sure enough, today is exponentially worse. Around 5pm I roll up to 1 of the Markham walmarts, fucking RAMMED. Parking lot jammed, I've never seen it like that ever. Go inside, I put the first item in when i caught the size of the lines. nope.gif
Went home, looked at google live traffic of various stores and had to drive to Stouffville, which got as bad as Markham by the time I got there. An hour later I was out, but shelves were getting sparse and for no real reason. Got my shit and left, went to a local No Frills by my house that I thought would be fairly quiet because it's small, nope, all rammed and the owner was talking about how his other No Frills in Scarborough just got shutdown as it got overrun by people and they couldn't handle everyone.
It's like real life furball out there. FUCK

People are dumb.
I was creeping people's carts and it was a mix of cases of bottled water/gatorate/junk food, literally the last fucking shit you want to be consuming in case of a food shortage. I don't know if people are just stupid/lazy or reactionary or both.
I am going to assume tomorrow will be worse.

costco was a gong show. No carts available. Line ups to the meat counter. Probably a little worst than the weekend.
People were stocking up on water. I assume we can just boil water so we didn't bother. Just got baby supplies, the Kirkland Lasagna is damn good. Organic chicken thigh and we booked it.

The next 3 days will be telling, I wouldn't be surprised if we literally shut down most grocery stores. Given the overreaction started this afternoon and people freaking the fuck out, I highly doubt shelves will be stocked in time, which will then lead to more overreaction.
I hope I am wrong.

wasn't even aware of the panic run until i saw the news (still wondering why tf).
need milk, eggs and bread (for the week) - since i'm wfh, will try to get some this morning to avoid the afternoon / weekend madness.
let's see what i end up getting back.
tp / tissues / wipes - all that stuff we always have enough in our basement - never thought of stock piling in that way.

Yep, similar situation with a place called Smok Cannabis in Ajax where majority of stoners congruate (Durham). Gold mine with no competition (for now anyway).
Ganjika took a few mil loan from some bay street sharks, paid it off in like 5 months Now self made, doesn't answer to anyone.

3 week lockdown is going to be bonkers.
but if it helps with controlling the spread then its worth it. We always have a few spare cases of TP and tissues so I didn't bother with that stuff. Same with non-perishables too. We just always have that stuff, not because of apocalypse planning but because I actually like those canned soups. Especially in winter. Sure its loaded with sodium but we don't eat them everyday.
Most people in my office are working from home. I don't have remote access yet so I'm going in this week. I'll likely be the only one in the office. I've been driving to work these last couple of weeks just to avoid the subway crowds. I'll continue to do so for the foreseeable future.

Shutting down LCBO/Beer store is probably a good idea considering the risk of domestic abuse with everyone at home.

Things seem normal now except Costco.
Went to Home Depot to stock up on paint and consumables, looks like home reno SZN starts now instead of summer time
The type of people that go to Costco, I don't think I'd have a problem smashing right in the face. The worst type of crowd, ever.
Walmart/No Frills/Loblaws all good, extra staff working on replenishing shelves.

wifey works (almost) virtual (she wants to keep her desk at the office so she's supposed to show up twice a week - but nobody really checks); so BAU for her
i'm wfh indefinitely, can't vpn in during the day as connections are reserved for critical staff - not a big deal since i spend time during the day dealing w/ the boy (now that daycare is closed too) -- luckily my role doesn't have a lot of phone meetings right now (people can't open bridges anyway lol)

My cousin in Greece is a nurse and has been putting in crazy extra hours to help at the hospital. I found out yesterday that despite being overly cautious, he has tested positive.
sorry to hear. hope he'll be ok and has a speedy recovery.
kudos to the front line health care workers for dedicating their lives to help others.

Some companies are still such a shit show.
Bro in law works in a warehouse - he only found out yesterday from work that one of the guys on the team was sent home starting last week because that guy was in contact with a relative that had a fever (nobody's even sure if that guy and their relative even live in the same house); but shifts continue as is.
This curve won't be flattened...

Curve won't be flattened until staying home is enforced. Companies waiting for government to shut everything down but government is holding off to see if companies are going to send workers home on their own dime first. It's a game of who is going to pay. That being said. I'm done waiting around. Next week I will be exhausting all my sick days and vacation days and maybe even quit in the end lol.

I went to the grocery store twice today also home depot at 6am to get a chest freezer. I am not a prepper of any sort, but I am pissed at how poorly this is being handled and am convinced we will be on lockdown since we can't help ourselves but to be degenerates.
First trip this week was Home depot for supplies as I am positive I will rebuild this house from top to bottom if I am confined to it.
That said, is it just me or are neighbourhoods absolutely rammed. Feels like when I was growing up, ball hockey being played everywhere, people walking everywhere, etc.

Alot of fucking assholes still going out. You mfs might as well go to work. Traffic this morning was regular. Meaning almost same amount of cars as any other day. Government cares more about trying to sustain the economy rather than sustain the virus. Tons of people forced to work while dumb ass office workers go out all day when they should be working from home. Eat dicks

He has done nothing except follow the lead of everyone else, still continues to sound scripted and posting selfies of working from home. More being a mouth piece (as usual) than a leader.

I'm working from home this week and for the next 2 weeks at least. I also find there is less traffic on the road. For me, I'm trying to do my part and stay home and avoid going out. I did have to go get some meat from the butcher just to have something and some meds for my father this week as well. But other than those 2 excursions I've been home and inside.
I hope Canada gets a handle of this. The idea of working from home is better than the reality of it. We do the whole VPN thing too but it was never designed for 90% of the staff to be on it all at the same time. So it's a bit of a challenge but we're working through it.
I opted to purchase groceries this week for delivery from superstore but their service is pretty shitty and I am forced to go pick up instead. Hopefully its an easy transition to pick up as I'd really rather not be stuck in a crowd of people. If I see that, i'm out. Next time I'll try Metro's delivery service.
Anybody still buying food for delivery? I've cut that out as well. Cooking at home for the most part. And eating less I might add. I'll probs end up losing a few lbs over the next couple of week. Thats not a bad thing at all though.

Business as usual at work, although everyone but essential staff isn't there. Shift change is interesting, no more face to face with each shift, they do turnover over a video feed. Shift A completely leaves before Shift B even enters the SOC. Lots of hand sanitizer, Lysol wipes just a bit of common sense and everything seems good.
Next week I'm taking a day and self isolating on Lake Ontario Can't FUCKING WAIT

How are you all coping with kids being home on week 2? Wife was talking with her Mom friends who set up a learning routine for the kids to keep them learning and also out of their hair while working.
I printed some math sheets for the kids to work on, link a few websites for them to do work and also found that Audible.com has free kids books available while they are out of school. https://stories.audible.com/discovery

I'm hearing murmurs from 'a friend's co-worker's sister who works at Queens Park' a curfew is a-coming for GTA ...
(I heard about the citywide shutdown on a Sat, and they announced it on ... Tuesday? Then I heard about the border shutdown...)

Considering the shutdown doesn't start until midnight tonight, you're a little early there quickdraw.
i don't think so considering the government is weeks behind. the list is already out and the line is busy as shit so i guess i'm not the only one concerned.

i'm at work, full PPE, screening ppl for covid assessment. good times. We have two levels of PPE.
Level 1 PPE is a lower level gown, and a basic mask. Level 4 PPE is full wrap-around non-porous gown, N95 respirator, thigh-high boots, visor, KKK hood, goggles.
Level 4 is only used for COVID confirmed. I don't have a place to upload what I look like in it. Would like to.
In addition, certain medical procedures are being knocked down the priority list. They're called Aerosol Generating Medical Procedures. - BVM ventilation - yankauer airway suction - CPR (yes... CPR) - endotracheal intubation (the thing with the blade and the light) - all nebulized medications (like ventolin)
So if a person has COVID, and they're in cardiac arrest, the CPR and BVM ventilations will render the COVID aerosol which the research now shows will remain aerosol for 8 hours before coming out of the air. So even though intubation is an AGMP, I am intubating early in order to protect the rest of the people who are helping me resuscitate the patient because once tubed, the airway is closed circuit. To do this, I either kick everyone out of the room, or I send everyone as far away from the patient's mouth as possible and don level 4 PPE to perform the procedure. Everyone in the room must also be at LEAST wearing goggles and N95.
The other thing the media isn't talk about (and surprisingly social media is the driving force behind it) is that hospitals are severely lacking in PPE. Nurses are being told to wear the SAME mask all day. One mask per day is fucking retarded and dangerous. The other thing, we are running out of ventilators. Also, hospitals are turning certain wings into ICU wings now to accommodate the intubated COVD+ patients. Some hospitals have so many ventilated patients they have 5 patients on ONE ventilator. That means they have to see what patients have similar breathing volumes and put them together to share. It is FUCKED.
So while the press talks about positive cases (which means fuck all)... the hospitals and paramedics are the ones who are talking about the actual state of things.
People may not wanna social distance, but they really fucking need to. Stay safe guys... it is real.

No doubt that it is dangerous time out there for you guys. Folks on social media are tweeting what's going on in the GTA hospitals and most of the people especially young kids (ok boomer) are well aware of what is happening in there.
Both of you, please PM me your email address. I'll e-transfer coffee funds to your way! Thanks for all of your hard work and please stay safe.

Good post.
My buddy's wife works in a Hamilton hospital, they are not allowed to wear PPE as they don't have any and the SOP right now is show up to work without PPE and if you show signs self quarantine (that's with confirmed covid 19 people in this hospital).

Aw thanks man, but no need for that. Appreciate it though! Will report back with whatever we can as things progress. I can tell you that things will progress and the death count with increase dramatically. Beyond that, I don't know... but that's what worries me. April is the slated month for the increase though. Stay safe, and try and FaceTime your families and maintain that communication with them. It's so so important. I wish I could see my parents... my kids wish they could hang with them. So FaceTime is all we have at the moment... but it's all we will have if people don't straighten their shit out and distance themselves. p.s: somehow the images don't scale well and are huge when I try and link them here.
Have the bullshit calls subsided now with this going on? I figure all the scum bags that used to call for 'paining' are now scared to call in and don't want to catch da 'rona.

So even though intubation is an AGMP, I am intubating early in order to protect the rest of the people who are helping me resuscitate the patient because once tubed, the airway is closed circuit. To do this, I either kick everyone out of the room, or I send everyone as far away from the patient's mouth as possible and don level 4 PPE to perform the procedure. Everyone in the room must also be at LEAST wearing goggles and N95. The other thing the media isn't talk about (and surprisingly social media is the driving force behind it) is that hospitals are severely lacking in PPE. Nurses are being told to wear the SAME mask all day. One mask per day is fucking retarded and dangerous. The other thing, we are running out of ventilators. Also, hospitals are turning certain wings into ICU wings now to accommodate the intubated COVD+ patients. Some hospitals have so many ventilated patients they have 5 patients on ONE ventilator. That means they have to see what patients have similar breathing volumes and put them together to share. It is FUCKED. So while the press talks about positive cases (which means fuck all)... the hospitals and paramedics are the ones who are talking about the actual state of things. People may not wanna social distance, but they really fucking need to. Stay safe guys... it is real. Good post. My buddy's wife works in a Hamilton hospital, they are not allowed to wear PPE as they don't have any and the SOP right now is show up to work without PPE and if you show signs self quarantine (that's with confirmed covid 19 people in this hospital).
a friend of ours son went on vacation recently and when he came back he was self isolating for 14 days and then not even half way through was told to go back to work because they needed as many people as possible...

i'm at work, full PPE, screening ppl for covid assessment. good times. We have two levels of PPE. Level 1 PPE is a lower level gown, and a basic mask. Level 4 PPE is full wrap-around non-porous gown, N95 respirator, thigh-high boots, visor, KKK hood, goggles. Level 4 is only used for COVID confirmed. I don't have a place to upload what I look like in it. Would like to. In addition, certain medical procedures are being knocked down the priority list. They're called Aerosol Generating Medical Procedures. - BVM ventilation - yankauer airway suction - CPR (yes... CPR) - endotracheal intubation (the thing with the blade and the light) - all nebulized medications (like ventolin) So if a person has COVID, and they're in cardiac arrest, the CPR and BVM ventilations will render the COVID aerosol which the research now shows will remain aerosol for 8 hours before coming out of the air.

forgive me if I'm asking a stupid question, but we hear stories about other countries trying different anti viral medications used primarily to treat other things but seem to have a positive impact on some covid patients...whats stopping canada from trying these as a last resort? I know they are working on a vaccine but that is like a year away..what harm can come from trying something that was designed for SARS but may have a positive affect on a covid patient as well, and hopefully free up more ventilators?

It's not a stupid question at all. So any drug that goes on the market is subjected to something called an RCT (Randomized Control Trial.) That consists of the target drug and placebos... all packaged the same and the provider doesn't know what they're giving. There's ethics issues with giving drugs that aren't actually drugs... there's also health concerns if you haven't got a large enough capture to determine whether the medication is even effective. Efficacy is a huge thing... you're not gonna just dump something out there and see if it fits. It has to be tested... vaccines are customized to the strain and genetics of the virus in question. Controls need to be in place... especially when it'll go out at such a large scope. Hell, Trump was all about Azithromycin... which is an antibiotic. That doesn't nothing for viruses It's not like adding salt and flavour to taste when it comes to medicine. I don't have a solid answer but there are podcasts on why RCTs are needed to start with drug therapies. Vas, the dumb calls are still there but it seems that they don't even want to go and just want to be "assessed" so we end up doing that. There are plenty of people who might need to go on any other occasion but they don't want to even though they're actually sick. Not sick enough to be in the acute area, but sick enough that they should probably see a doctor at some point quite soon. But they still don't go because "I don't want the covid." Imagine trying to start an IV or intubate someone in this thing (level 4)
Jesus.
So kinda like this?

Apparently fines for not self-isolating are being handing out. On my fb feed:
Definition of self-isolating: - NO symptoms, but a) came back from abroad, 14 days, or b) someone around you has COVID-19.
definition source: https://www.canada.ca/en/public-health/s...risks.html#self

2 and 3 are probably people refusing to give up their names/id.
Wife finally has a few nights off after working a good 7-8 shifts in a row. Around 20 cases in all of Burl/Ham/Niagara . Couple of deaths but lots recovering too.
People are donating PPE to her hospital, leaving flowers and notes for the staff, restaurants delivering tons of food too.

Thats great news! We need more stories like this. So tired of the doom and gloom! This WILL come to an end eventually. Hopefully sooner rather than later.

unfortunately you need the doom and gloom, without it the majority would be on with their day like the kids who were out celebrating spring break still

Wife's supplies are fucked HARD.
~10 days worth of N95s, even less for face masks (with and w/o shields.). They reduced use by ~50% last week, this week to 25%, as no shipments for at least 2 weeks
This reduction to 25% is also worse as some depts are only now starting to use masks.
This is in addition to a shit ton of other measures they're put in place in the weeks prior: external staging areas in tents, external tents for COVID-19 suspected cases, security guards and nurses checking temps for anyone coming in, etc. I'm guessing blast shields (i.e. plexiglass) are also installed in areas where there wasn't prior. (i.e. grocery stores are all over this now.)
I've seen photos (on fb) of hospitals with brown bags on a table, each one labelled with a name. That's your ration for the day. 1 mask per person, re-use it by putting it back in the bag etc. Showed it to the wife, she's like yep they're doing that now. (*Not 100% sure if she meant yeah they're doing it at all hospitals across the US/Canada, or if her hospital.)
Have a physician couple in TO; come in thru a diff entrance, blocked off with chairs/etc (so the kids don't go in that area.). Straight to the shower in basement, clothes straight into the basement laundry. Things wiped down before they take a breath, and settle in to home life. This is daily.
Peeps in Asia wash their disposable cotton(?) face masks, then let them dry in the sun (No money, no supply, etc.)

My wife is a trooper. If the world went to shit, the PPE runs out, if she had 500 patients in her ER, would prob still show up to work. Her biggest concern isnt getting sick and dying, but making others sick because she has been exposed.
ER people dealing with sick and dying COVID patients, plus the normal car accident, injured, etc and EMTs walking into an unknown call get all my respect.
I get really irritated when I see some soccer mom wearing gloves and a mask when the medics and nurses face shortages.

So, is that the new standard for Ontario? For Canada? For US?
I mean, CPR also means using the bag ventilator thingie and chest compressions, no? That's also no longer standard medical procedure thingie? :|.
If that's the case, fuck me man ... That's fucked.

If possible when bringing her groceries leave them on a balcony for a day or two if possible so if there is any trace of the virus it dies off.
All mail/deliveries I quarantine in the garage for 48 hours before bringing into the house.

Asians were never listening to cdc on masks. They knew from time what was up. Which is why there are no more left. I bought a few back in Jan and was already hard to get then.

Not performing CPR would go against the very oath they took. I'm sure they take every precaution to ensure they do it safely, or maybe for once, defer to the firefighters and give them a chance to feel important. 😁
You know who'll stopped doing CPR? Family members. "How I know they ain't got da 'rona? I bet they died cause da 'rona!" Guaranteed.

Hope you all stay safe out there.
My Mom lives in a condo. Being a cancer survivor, I just told her to stay put and I'll bring her groceries. Being in a condo seems to add more exposure. If possible when bringing her groceries leave them on a balcony for a day or two if possible so if there is any trace of the virus it dies off. All mail/deliveries I quarantine in the garage for 48 hours before bringing into the house.

The whole premise of 'no need to wear a mask UNLESS you are sick or caring for someone who is sick', is true, to a point. - You don't know when you are sick, i.e. usually this starts asymptomatic, at which point you're already dangerous to others - Some go thru COVID-19 all the way without any symptoms (cue article in Iceland where 1% of those tested were positive, and of that 1%, 50% of them said they had no symptoms.) - Wearing a mask also protects you from touching your own damn face, in the event you touched a contaminated surface. - The 'no mask' thing is also so there's supply for those in true need. So in times of rationing, it makes sense to go with the 'no mask' logic. are they saying even if you aren't sick to wear a mask?
i agree with those points
what about wearing masks over and over and becoming saturated with the virus or other bacteria in itself. I fear people will try and do that and end up getting sick because of that and touching the mask and then their face etc

If you are sick, stay home and stay isolated.
Wifes ER is rationing supplies. She gets 2 N95 masks to wear for a 12hr shift.

Thanks for the reminders.
All the mail and all the groceries we get online we wipe down with Clorox. I need to remind her to do the same with her mail.

:| Where's our resident medic ... Sorry, I didn't realize there was a picture there initially.
Ok, so no CPR is in fact being "performed" in patients who are covid positive until paramedics arrive. The reason is because CPR is an aerosol generating medical procedure and in performing it, you are rendering the virus airborne, which is the worst possible thing to do... especially when it remains airborne for several hours even when the case is over.
We did a cardiac arrest today. I had CPR withheld until I intubated the patient. Intubation, though an aerosol procedure, closes the airway circuit, thus rendering the environment free of aerosol for the remainder of the call (which can last a while if it's workable.)
Once intubation is established, start CPR, IV, drugs, defibrillation. Closing the circuit is the most important thing... because it protects the team.
Sadly, Fire is gonna get roasted here, but I honestly don't care because you don't have to be me to see a problem with what happened. Everyone in the world is aware that there is a shortage of PPE. Specifically N95s. So we get on scene and fire shows up. There's a crew with the patient already... I'm the backup. The fire crew isn't downstairs with the crew... they're outside. The captain says "We're only going to send one in to limit exposure." Fair... this is a good protocol for them. So then please tell me why ALL of you are standing OUTSIDE with N95s on??? It won't be worn again... it shouldn't even be out. It should still be in the packaging in your pocket. You just wasted THREE masks.
For Christ's sakes. I even asked the Captain in a snarky tone "then why are you all wearing N95s?" I didn't care about the answer because I was putting my shit on to go in... but like really come the fuck on

Also, we are calling for early pronouncement in systolic patients with unknown downtown.. which essentially means no upfront CPR because of aerosol.
Fire is useless more than ever now because they're so fucking scared to put on the big shoes and do medical calls like nurses and doctors (well, in fairness, it's their union who says they're amazing and needed on medicals.)

The moral of the story here is we all need to be careful and should only be doing things that are absolutely necessary.
I am not driving anywhere, going anywhere, or doing anything that I absolutely don't have to. I'm even going as far as being extra careful when using knives. The very last thing I want to do is accidentally hurt myself in any way and require hospital attention. So the safest thing to do now is absolutely nothing. Its all about risk, the only way to lower your risk is to reduce or eliminate an activity. I didn't even think about "routine" car accidents until someone mentioned else here mentioned it. The reason that one hit close to home is because yesterday I went to pick up the Mini from my brothers place and brought it home from winter storage. It was nice out so I took the long route home. Not even thinking about the possibility of a car accident, which is scary enough in a normal circumstance! Sure it was a nice day out but I saw SO many people hanging out, chilling with each other. Mind you this was in a lower income area I was driving through (Jane/Wilson) but still. Seems like people just aren't getting it. Its crazy to me.
This is our life for the next 6 months.....I pray to God everyday that the world get a hold of this.
What is happening in China? I thought I read a few weeks ago that they've finally got some kind of control on it? I'm not checking up on the stats of this thing everyday anymore. Its too depressing for me, and raises anxiety levels. I guess you could say in a way i'm burying my head in the sand but realistically I'm home and limiting my exposure anyway. I don't need to know that, for example, 1000 people died in one day from this.

I would take it with a grain of salt with what is happening in China. CCP is obviously sequestrating and downplaying COVID.

Trump is a winner on handling it.
January 22: “We have it totally under control. It’s one person coming in from China. It’s going to be just fine.”
February 2: “We pretty much shut it down coming in from China.”
February 24: “The Coronavirus is very much under control in the USA… Stock Market starting to look very good to me!”
February 25: “CDC and my Administration are doing a GREAT job of handling Coronavirus.”
February 25: “I think that's a problem that’s going to go away… They have studied it. They know very much. In fact, we’re very close to a vaccine.”
February 26: “The 15 (cases in the US) within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero.”
February 26: “We're going very substantially down, not up.”
February 27: “One day it’s like a miracle, it will disappear.”
February 28: “We're ordering a lot of supplies. We're ordering a lot of, uh, elements that frankly we wouldn't be ordering unless it was something like this. But we're ordering a lot of different elements of medical.”
February 28: “Now the Democrats are politicizing the coronavirus, you know that, right? Coronavirus, they’re politicizing it. We did one of the great jobs. You say, ‘How’s President Trump doing?’ They go, ‘Oh, not good, not good.’ They have no clue. They don’t have any clue. They can’t even count their votes in Iowa.” “They tried the impeachment hoax. That was on a perfect conversation. They tried anything. They tried it over and over. They’d been doing it since you got in. It’s all turning. They lost. It’s all turning. Think of it. Think of it. And this is their new hoax.”
March 2: “You take a solid flu vaccine, you don't think that could have an impact, or much of an impact, on corona?”
March 2: “A lot of things are happening, a lot of very exciting things are happening and they’re happening very rapidly.”
March 4: “If we have thousands or hundreds of thousands of people that get better just by, you know, sitting around and even going to work — some of them go to work, but they get better.”
March 5: “I NEVER said people that are feeling sick should go to work.”
March 5: “The United States… has, as of now, only 129 cases… and 11 deaths. We are working very hard to keep these numbers as low as possible!”
March 6: “I think we’re doing a really good job in this country at keeping it down… a tremendous job at keeping it down.”
March 6: “Anybody right now, and yesterday, anybody that needs a test gets a test. They’re there. And the tests are beautiful…. the tests are all perfect like the letter was perfect. The transcription was perfect. Right? This was not as perfect as that but pretty good.”
March 6: “I like this stuff. I really get it. People are surprised that I understand it… Every one of these doctors said, ‘How do you know so much about this?’ Maybe I have a natural ability. Maybe I should have done that instead of running for president.”
March 6: “I don't need to have the numbers double because of one ship that wasn't our fault.”
March 8: “We have a perfectly coordinated and fine tuned plan at the White House for our attack on CoronaVirus.”
March 9: “This blindsided the world.”
Edit: March 9: "The Fake News Media and their partner, the Democrat Party, is doing everything within its semi-considerable power (it used to be greater!) to inflame the CoronaVirus situation, far beyond what the facts would warrant.”
March 10: "It will go away. Just stay calm. It will go away."
March 13: National Emergency Declaration
March 13: “I don't take responsibility at all”
March 15: "TODAY IS A NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER. GOD BLESS EVERYONE!"
March 16: "I give myself a 10 out of 10"
March 16: “I’ve always known this is a, this is a real, this is a pandemic, I’ve felt it was a pandemic long before it was called a pandemic” source
March 17: "It snuck up on us." source
March 22: “It is absolutely critical that Americans continue to follow the federal government’s guidelines. So important about social distancing, non-essential travel, and hand-washing.”
March 23: Democratic concerns have focused on a $500 billion funding program Republicans want to create for loans and loan guarantees, with some Democrats calling it a “slush fund” that lacks any oversight because the Treasury Department would have broad discretion over who receives the money. Asked about this Monday evening, Trump responded, “I’ll be the oversight.” The vote Monday was 49 to 46, well short of the 60-vote threshold needed to advance the legislation for a final debate.
March 24: “THE CURE CANNOT BE WORSE (by far) THAN THE PROBLEM!”

Every once in awhile, you read these gems ...
Cliffs Notes: Prato, Italy is the largest Chinese community in Italy. Locals looked at them like wtf masks wtf virus carriers. Next thing you know, infection/death rate in Italy thru the roof. Prato Asian population infection rate? 0.
So as Italians headed to the ski slopes and crowded into cafes and bars as normal, the Chinese inhabitants of Prato had seemingly disappeared. Its streets, still festooned with Chinese New Year decorations, were semi-deserted, shops shuttered.
“Most of them looked at me like a Cassandra,” he said. “No one could believe it was happening here ... Now Troy is burning and we are all locked inside.”
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-healt...s-idUSKBN21I3I8
applaud places like Taiwan, they were proactive as soon as the first cases started showing up in China, put on their big boy shoes and put in strict measures.

The article said Chinese people elsewhere were self isolating well before. We noticed that in Markham. In January, it was noticeably less busy at restaurants and malls.
They were the Canary, they knew what was up.

A bunch of people with Audis having a meet at the house. There must been 7-8 cars and kids just hanging out in the driveway.

Well, I guess I didn't plan/prioritize it properly ... With HomeDepot closed, open only for pickup/delivery, don't think I can order up the driveway sealer or all the gardening shit I need ...
Wife pulled the whole 'That's what Amazon Prime is for", and "It says Next Day Prime Delivery for me" on diapers, and ... sure enough ... we're fucked now and I gotta head out to Walmart

I just went thru a process of ordering shit at Canadian Tire. FML it feels like the 80s/90s again ala Consumers Distributing.
War-dialing until you get through, press 0, tell them the product IDs, quantity, name, phone, wait for them to call you back. They call back, verify order, take your CC number manually, then tell you to come for curb-side pickup wtf...

My station is on Wilson between Jane and Keele. That strip mall at Jane and Wilson is a bustling place... ain’t nobody distancing shit there. And even the guy that was... he was sleeping under the sign drunk and someone had to call 911 anyways 🤦🏻♂️
You work in my neighborhood 355. I live at keele and Lawrence.

I did curbside pickup from online order at Canadian Tire/Rona today.
I highly recommend you avoid this if at all possible unless you are prepared to fuck up your day.

I did a "curbside pick up" at Canadian tire the day before they were forced closed. It was a nightmare then, I can only imagine the fockery of it all now. Canadian Tire's web site is so archaic. Their online presence is abysmal imo.

The way people are treated at "pick up" is insane, everyone running around like a chicken.
The process is to show up to front of Canadian Tire, call number on sign and stay in your car and it will be delivered to you.
20+ people sitting in their cars calling the number, no one can get through. If you walk up to the store you are yelled at to go back into your car and call the number which no one picks up or is busy.
After 45 minutes of the above when they take your "order" to bring to you they notify you it was sent to another Canadian tire 20 minutes away. That's when you politely start your car and fucking SMASH the gear lever into D to go and repeat the process again somewhere else.

Healthcare and first responders get to the front of the line at Costco starting today.
It was a glorious feeling walking right in at the front of the line on a busy Saturday. The dirty looks were priceless lol.
Also got 4 750ml bottles of hand sanitizer from a local booze distillery thats making and supplying it for free to first responders.
Nandos is offering free meals too.

Still seems like cleaning products are still out of stock. Every time I do a grocery order i check for cleaning products and there's always nothing in stock. I have one costco container left and have been using them sparingly but would still like another container at least.

I just let everything sit for a day or two (produce in particular) so if there is a trace of the virus it dies on its own.
I thought about using soap to wash produce and I decided that we are now entering diminishing returns in terms of "safety".

I let my wife sort it out and she wipes and runs things through soap water. We buy groceries for grandma so just rather have the peace of mind.

Lysol wiped the first time. Did shopping yesterday, didn't bother but felt like I should have.
I think that's fair. It's redundant if you're washing your hands or using hand sanitizer after your'e done... but you're picking stuff up too and that could theoretically transfer. Vas has it right as far as letting certain things sit for 2 days. It's extreme, but if you're not gonna wash it, then that's reasonable practice. My thing is gloves. Why in the fuck are people wearing gloves? Do you know how frequently healthcare providers change gloves? That's why they're effective. These people are wearing the same gloves all over the place... just spreading shit. I saw sheep waiting for Shoppers to open. gloves on... masks on. Hey I understand the mask.. you're protecting people from yourself (lol I know that's not why they're wearing it but hey it works.) But the gloves you put on and walk into shoppers... touching doors, touching product... paying... touching doors again, opening your car door. Maybe you take them off (I've seem otherwise ) but then put them back on to go to another store... spreading shit lol. Fucking stop with the gloves. Thats 1000% what the RN wife would say lol.

I do this too. Also let some stuff hang out without touching for 5-6 days if possible. Stuff like noodles and condiments. I don't really need that stuff right away so it's fine. I also don't reuse the plastic bags anymore. They go right into recycling. Maybe overkill but better safe than sorry. I'm not worried about dying but from what I've heard it's not a fun experience when you get it.

Fucking stop with the gloves. It seems like such a logical thing but so many people are just too fucking dumb to understand. Went into bulk barn last week. They make you put on hand sanitizer when you come in and then put on clean gloves that they supply. The lady behind me was so pissy that they were making her take off the gloves she walked into the store wearing and put on new ones. She just couldn't understand. "I'm already wearing gloves!", she argued with the workers. They had to spell it out for her.
haven't been to bulk barn in a couple of weeks - good to know of their protocol -- i know they've always been pretty good w/ their covered bins -- just wondering if they also impose people putting on masks to avoid people accidentally coughing into bins they open while scooping?

Nations grocery not only make it mandatory that you wear a mask inside, if you show up without anything covering your face, they will give you one. Kind of them, instead of forcing you to buy one for $0.50, etc.
Can't for the life of me get the fam to understand this shit, and I'm getting made the bad guy for being paranoid, neurotic, etc. WTF. (the fam in RHill/MHam are freaking out like the rest of the Asians, so do stay at home for the most part.)
Family reuse the same mask over and over (non-N95. We do have some thicker ones, and then there's the standard thin blue ones), keep it in a bag in the car, etc...
Wife is thick in the head and thinks the basic hand-washing bit is enough. Reasoning with her just doesn't seem to get it, and she pulls this "if any of us (in the family) get it, we're all already infected, so this bullshit about isolating within the home from each other make no sense" (I've been trying to set up contingency plans of exactly what room and how to isolate one of us in the event we need to do so.)
Has this bullshit idea that if I want to disinfect the door knob, it's my problem, and she can walk in and out with her hands touching anything, because she already disinfected it with sanitizer etc... FML.

I only use gloves at the gas station. Your not gonna get the virus through your hands but gas pumps are dirty in a normal circumstance lol, let alone this. I've seen people get out of their car wipe their snotty nose with their hand and then grab the pump.
I get out of the car, put glove on my right hand only. Use that hand to touch the pump and enter pin etc. Then I use the non glove hand with paper towel to pull out cc. Wrap cc in new paper and put in pocket. Finish filling with glove hand. Once full, I hang up pump and remove glove into garbage immediately. Then close gas door and get back inside car. I have a small bottle of sanitizer that I use just in case. Then drive away......never would I have thought I'd be living like this.

You know what's most annoying? This economy needs to start up. People need to go back to work. People need to go to parks, and recreational facilities.
At its core... this could totally happen. But it would require people to continue being mindful of what they do when it comes to coughing into their elbow, washing their damn hands regularly like they teach their kids to do (but seems lost in adulthood), and keeping a reasonable distance from most others in an attempt to create that space. But no. Everyone is a stupid motherfucker who is out for themselves and THAT is why we can't open shit up yet. And for that reason, we actually have to get the case and death counts low enough that the curve is considered flattened... because we're not capable as a society, to be responsible and do things the right way. Stay home when you're sick. Physically distance within reason/application. Don't lick toilets. Wear a mask if you're sick and have to go out (like to your appointments.) Not hard... but somehow, it's completely lost on 90% of the population.
I hate that. I hate that those are the reasons that we really can't open life up because we can't rely on the general public to actually do THEIR part. Everyone's out for themselves.
I just got back from work. For a short portion of the day, I was among a fairly large group of first responders up at Humber River Hospital showing thanks and appreciation for our nurses, doctors, respiratory therapists, environmental services, porters, etc... I look on social media (yeah that was my fault) and I see people criticizing everyone for drawing crowds. First of all, assholes, this was for the hospital staff. Secondly, Jesus Christ, LITERALLY everyone I saw was distanced from each other except for the nurses... but they're allowed to be side by side since they essentially live on top of each other when they're inside the hospital. So don't chirp them for coming out and receiving what is rightfully theirs.
Give it a rest... bunch of motherfuckers.

You know what's most annoying? This economy needs to start up. People need to go back to work. People need to go to parks, and recreational facilities.
At its core... this could totally happen. But it would require people to continue being mindful of what they do when it comes to coughing into their elbow, washing their damn hands regularly like they teach their kids to do (but seems lost in adulthood), and keeping a reasonable distance from most others in an attempt to create that space. But no. Everyone is a stupid motherfucker who is out for themselves and THAT is why we can't open shit up yet. And for that reason, we actually have to get the case and death counts low enough that the curve is considered flattened... because we're not capable as a society, to be responsible and do things the right way. Stay home when you're sick. Physically distance within reason/application. Don't lick toilets. Wear a mask if you're sick and have to go out (like to your appointments.) Not hard... but somehow, it's completely lost on 90% of the population.
I hate that. I hate that those are the reasons that we really can't open life up because we can't rely on the general public to actually do THEIR part. Everyone's out for themselves.
I just got back from work. For a short portion of the day, I was among a fairly large group of first responders up at Humber River Hospital showing thanks and appreciation for our nurses, doctors, respiratory therapists, environmental services, porters, etc... I look on social media (yeah that was my fault) and I see people criticizing everyone for drawing crowds. First of all, assholes, this was for the hospital staff. Secondly, Jesus Christ, LITERALLY everyone I saw was distanced from each other except for the nurses... but they're allowed to be side by side since they essentially live on top of each other when they're inside the hospital. So don't chirp them for coming out and receiving what is rightfully theirs.
Give it a rest... bunch of motherfuckers.
good to hear this from a front line person finally...i been saying this for a month lol. like i'm all for taking protective countermeasures vs this virus but the gov. has gone fucking overboard with some stops. but as usual it is the 5% of fucktards that mess it up for the rest of us

Many, many lemmings are like: Yeah yeah, just like the news said, we just have to wait for the vaccine. Everything will go back to normal.
When was the last time you've seen the world shutdown like this motherfucker, over an enemy you cannot see?
I then ask them: How has China set their new 'normal'? i.e. how have they started re-opening and getting back to something close to pre-COVID-19?
Forget China. Think Taiwan, South Korea. Singapore. They got back to normal by leveraging, and the people allowing, the use of contact-tracing, support and belief in their govt to be prepared, loss of some privacy for the greater good, etc.
Note: Singapore isn't doing especially hot right now -- they're under a month-long 'circuit-breaker', i.e. stay-at-home mandate, with outbreaks now particularly in dorm settings, and foreign workers. But, their initial part of the COVID era was pretty tame thanks to the precautions/countermeasures set forth.
(I've read stories (about China) how you basically need a QR code on your phone to go/leave certain places. When you get on a subway, each subway car has a diff QR code, etc. If you want to enter a restaurant, not only must your temp be taken, but you need to show your QR code to indicate that you're not under quarantine, etc. Which, all goes into a national database.)
I found this to be a good read: How Coronavirus will change the world, permanently: https://www-politico-com.cdn.ampproject....is-covid-135579

If everyone did the right thing, there would be no need for any rules or regulations. Except that what one person thinks is right is not going to line up with what about person thinks. Society has to operate on the lowest common denominator, "Caution, cup contains hot beverage" type shit, then set rules to that.
Things should not open up yet. No one needs getting their hair did, nor to go out to a fancy restaurant, just so we can see a spike with the virus. I feel bad for all the businesses that are forever fucked, but if you're not essential, just keep it shut.
People talking like "my wedding is in July. I'm sure things will be back to normal." LOL. This virus has been a giant slap to humanity to get it's shit together.

It's good to read everyone's perspective here, I think we all bring a different angle to this.
From a business owner perspective as well as interest in real estate I can already tell you things will not go back to "normal". We will have a new normal, life is not over as we know it, but there will be significant changes.
From a business perspective, there is no way around it, a lot of businesses especially small/mid sized are gone. Some are hanging on by a thread hoping between a stimulus and quick reopening they can survive (this is where majority operate). The rest already can't hack it or have closed shop. This will certainly trickle up to large corps with layoffs.
Commercial landlords especially those with many restaurant chains already have a large amount of confirmations that the businesses are closing shop. Government stimulus isn't enough, uncertainty of how long this goes on for isn't worth accruing more debt for. No bailout will dig you out of that.
Car repos are up in Canada, pretty sure this is still kept quiet, but if you think dealers (especially used cars) can afford to sit on inventory that's not moving for prolonged time, you are mistaken. Following China, in their first month of the lockdown car sales were down 20%, 2nd month they were down a further 80%. Between that, people with negative equity in their cars I think the used car market is going to take a massive shit. 911's for everyone
This comes down to rich vs. poor. If you are fortunate to have a job or a job that can be done remotely, you are good for now. Doesn't mean safe, but at least you have something as the lockdown continues. Those who don't have the privilege of such jobs have no choice but to expose themselves to the virus and continue to work if the work is there.
I agree everyone should stay home to help the greater good, but I too remember not having money and I can't say with confidence that if I was faced with feeding my family and catching the virus vs staying home and potentially losing my house/apartment/no food on the table that I'd pick the latter. I think most of us would take the risk and work even if we can catch the virus. I don't see how there is a choice.
We all know what the right thing to do is and those of us who can adhere to the lockdown should do so, but we are not in a position to pass judgement on others from the comfort of our homes when many are in much worse positions (save for the few assholes ruining it for everyone else).

Fucking stop with the gloves. It seems like such a logical thing but so many people are just too fucking dumb to understand. Went into bulk barn last week. They make you put on hand sanitizer when you come in and then put on clean gloves that they supply. The lady behind me was so pissy that they were making her take off the gloves she walked into the store wearing and put on new ones. She just couldn't understand. "I'm already wearing gloves!", she argued with the workers. They had to spell it out for her. haven't been to bulk barn in a couple of weeks - good to know of their protocol -- i know they've always been pretty good w/ their covered bins -- just wondering if they also impose people putting on masks to avoid people accidentally coughing into bins they open while scooping?
I was there about 2.5 weeks ago and what they did was you sanitize / put on gloves when you enter and then you wait for an employee. They basically shop for you - you tell them what you want and they scoop / bag it for you, then take everything up to the cashier.

Not to be all Trump supporter but the prolonged Stay at home stance will do more harm than good. We live in a very fragile economy where small changes causes drastic events and we simply can't keep this going for much longer. Restaurants are holding on by a thread, as Vas said Corps will feel the affects soon enough and everyone will suffer for it.
My wife started a new job a month ago (process started before the lockdown) but as a result she had her laptop mailed to her and she as of yet has not seen a coworker face to face yet. Company has started laying off people.
We need to start up again, those who can continue WFH can do so but for others, have it mandatory to wear masks in public (malls, shops..whatever) and have other protocols in place to be safe but have it rolling up again.
Also what is this going to do for all the kids in schools from all age groups? Does school get cancelled for the year, have them forgo summer vacation and continue then, if cancelled then does the summer programs get cancelled too so parents are then stuck again?
I agree, of the lowest hanging fruit, if everyone wore masks we can definitely accelerate reopening part of the economy. I think that in itself is a very viable solution, the only problem is that effective masks are limited to the N95's.
Last I checked I think 3M N95 can produce about 35 million units per week at full capacity (someone should double check). So once you cover all hospitals/frontline/essential workers and there are enough masks to go around for everyone I think it's reasonable to make it mandatory in public to wear one so we have something quasi functioning opposed to nothing. It's not a perfect solution by any stretch, but I don't know what the alternative is.

None of this means anything.
If you don't know how many people are tested/a-symptomatic in relation to the population this data is completely useless.

This will be interesting to see how Sweden does.
Actually it would - I didn't think that their capital (Stockholm) would be more urbanly dense compared to Toronto.
https://versus.com/en/stockholm-vs-toronto
The scale is relatively on par so yes if it works for them, maybe there's hope for us.
HOWEVER, this also assumes our citizens follow the same discipline, which to 355-Si's point - we don't.

Was walking around my area today and noticed the 24/7 gym was closed, just like my gym down the street...but it looked odd. Walked up to the glass and there was the typical "closed due to covid 19" note, but everything had been ripped out, all equipment gone, reception gone, signs gone, just an empty space.
I know as a commercial landlord, you can take over a place in default of rent payment after 15 days and sell assets to recover rent in arrears. What I suspect happened here was these emptied the whole thing and stopped paying rent to basically hold the landlord hostage so that he can't make a legal claim for the money they would owe during covid as accrued debt, essentially forcing to forgive it or they most likely went bankrupt and tried to liquidate as much shit as possible before the banks come after them.
Just a tiny example of how we are about to see a lot of empty store fronts.

That's going to suck. I could see the government having to give grants for small businesses to start up.
There has to be a happy medium between landlord and tenants so they don't get evicted.

Who's been cutting onions up in here ....
Fucking Mon Sheong long-term-care downtown is so fucked, it's got 50 positive, 26 of them dead.
I contemplated what would happen if my parents were in an old age home at this time, and whether I'd have the ability to pull them out of an old age home, take the 14-day isolation hit with the entire family, etc. etc. etc...
Easy to say, very difficult to do.

Wow how come this didn’t make the headlines? Long-term care is fucked and the province/gov really dropped the ball hard on this. Feel so bad for all the families going through this. Lots of heads will be rolling post covid.

This is hitting the Canadian airwaves, cuz someone in Alberta said it's possible.
https://nationalpost.com/health/covid-19...-on-an-hvac-fix
COVID-19 can be spread by building ventilation, argue Canadian researchers working on an HVAC fix A group of Alberta researchers are working on ways that buildings could change their HVAC set-ups to curb the risk of infection
We gotta think twice before opening up restaurants again. This is how one person infected 9 people at a restaurant in Guangzhou China. The person A1 traveled from Wuhan and was the only one who had Corona at the time. It is believed that air conditioning was the reason how virus circulated. https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/26/7/20-0764_article

Funny to watch health Canada get called out just now. They got asked why their long term death predictions aren't higher if the short term predictions went up. They looked like they were caught off guard and said they Could change the number but that is what they are using for planning purposes. Sounds to me they fudging numbers to get the economy to open back up as quick as possible.

Who was it here on CSI:On that said they have a UV light thingie in their furnace? I thought about it before COVID, but ... never got around to it. We had duct cleaners come by in ... Jan-Feb to clean the ducts, we were noticing a weird film on anything plastic (thought it was the humidifiers), and the spiders all over the place is fuuuuucked. We're using MERV8 4"-thick no-name filters from Amazon though... Good luck on the HVAC fix
UV-C if anything...
small air purifiers like germ guardian have UV-C built in

Yes because the general public is legit stupid AF. Maybe it's my tin foil hat talking but I likely won't be going to many public places even after the lock down is lifted. I'm enjoying grocery delivery/curbside pick up. I'll likely never set foot in a grocery store again. Not because of covid but I like the convenience of it.

Boss told us today that the company may be letting a skeleton staff back in the office this summer. Things like one person per elevator means there really can't be too many people in there at once. They may open the doors a little wider in the fall, but it's quite possible most of us will be at home until next year.

for us i am a bit surpried how tight things are getting, for how 'well' things usually are for our Co.
-raises that were due in May now cut (no surprises, fair enough) -xmas bonus due for july in question (prob will be cut, but maybe not as it's based on last years results so waiting on this) -pay cuts across the board, 2% for me then it goes 3.5 and 5 up the ladder, ouch, but it's temporary...no end date in sight yet -we're going into wk 3 of forced 1-day off work, unpaid, can't use vacay to get paid, again TBD -they have begun packaging out senior staff already, 1-3 a week it seems -POSSIBLE future cut measures to be taken tbd......
factory guys heading back May 11th so that's good for them. prob very slow production with the safety measure in place, not to mention a shitton of unsold cars both at dealers and at autoports/compounds across canada.
otherwise, can't complain. working from home is working out ok though. hard as fuck with 2 lil guys running amok but we're making it work.
been filling in/assistin with our CR dept's lately given the insane backlog too lol.

so you're saying that if i want to get into a CTR now is the time to do it? lol
ironically last i heard was almost all of the 2020's were already pre-sold lol. but heck i'm sure many orders have been cancelled given this covid19 shit so yeah, prob some deals to be had in the coming months...
dunno how many of the 2021 yellow special ed. ones we're getting but they'll make it here eventually.

I've been thinking about the accrued vacation everyone is shoring up, as there's nowhere to go ...
The 'forced-use' of vacation, 4-day work-weeks, makes sense as a way to burn that time, as well as the no-bonus
So far I haven't heard anything about the cancellation/reduction of our $2k/yr/pp education budget...
At a crown corp I used to work at .... they mandated a 20% reduction in fees that contractors can charge, so that kinda sucks.

i was able to sell 10 days back and throw that $$ into RRSP. Parked it all in $$$ market. I am not sure how low the market will go. Will throw it back in the market once there looks to be an upswing. Don't want $$$ in money market if there is going to be a depression or inflation from the world printing money.

Man its like some people are clueless as to whats going on.
Yep! However, Im extremely thankful we do not have a leader who behaves like an Orangutan.

Since the lock down and I've been working from home on a daily basis. I. just. can't. stop. snacking. It's hard to say no to the wife's homemade eastern european pastries.
Ironically I've been eating less since I've been working from home.

Seems like a very odd mix.
Some chains are doing take out only others are permanently closed even though they did/can do take out. I don't understand it.

What are restaurants looking like in GTA now? You still seeing a lot of them shifting to take out/pick up? I follow the big independent guys, but I'm more curious as to what your neighbourhood places are doing. What about the chains?
i was at a local neighborhood Pho place. They had 4 ppl in there waiting. Pho was ringing off the hook but probably no where close to what their revenue would be if they had dine in.

They can't, I keep talking to my guys that run commercial Class A + some independent strip malls. From the restaurants at the class A 50%+ are gone, not coming back and closed for good. The strip malls are fairing better, I think this is because it's usually independent smaller landlords/cheaper rent/both scrappy entrepreneur types (not franchise owners) and are working together.
Crazy to hear you are down to 5%, damn. I remember visiting one of your locations in Barrie, it was a main strip (can't remember the name of the street), place was popping and food was great but you were entirely setup for dine in. Are the government programs going to be enough to get you through?

We have 2 of our 4 locations open from 4-8 Tuesday to Saturday, and we're only doing about 5% of the revenue we would normally be doing. No location running profitably. Our phones were busy from 330-730.
I can't imagine these big boxes in plazas in the GTA can keep paying these rents for that long. Mom and pop shops should make it, they'll just suffer their own pay in the short run.
There is a subsidy but also some just won’t pay. Gap already said it is stopping paying rent as an example. As mentioned above CF said about 25% of their base have paid. It’s not always about can’t pay it’s also a about won’t pay since it is not open / delivering returns
Just think of a big company like Best Buy if they said nah we aren’t paying this month what would a property company do? It would be short sighted to take action and the good ones will work with companies. It’s not like they would kick Best Buy out and then have it empty and find another massive retailer in that location (there isn’t many) that could fit all of the clauses and afford it to replace the BB space.

A majority have pivoted to delivery but are still getting smashed. For some odd reason Krispy Kreme is off the hook busy but for the most part it’s very small numbers for a majority of these businesses

Henry's filed for Chap 11
A friend who has a breakfast joint in Markham isn't fairing well ... about a year in, and it's a franchise, which JUST so happen to be CASH ONLY .... I think they've finally pivoted to a payment processor, but in the meantime all the cash is washed in a soapy bucket of water.
Plexiglass panels just installed ... Not sure if it'll survive.

Sucks about Henry's, but I am not sure if there is any brick and mortar business that won't follow suit, at least they are doing it early on and not wasting time trying to keep shit afloat when there is no point. If they were able to do this quick chances are these stores were already on the chopping block for some time now. I think it's a good opportunity for a lot of these retailers to cut out the low performing profit centers via restructuring and double down on their profitable locations and online. It allows many to get out of long term leases/severance liabilities at a reduced cost if they do it now under these conditions than trying to maintain status quo.

Don't worry, they'll just take 50% longer to finish the task.

Costco Canada (Quebec), and Costco US mandating all customers wear face coverings of some kind effective today.
Costco Canada (ex-QC) still not mandatory as of now
Also @ Costco: Overheard by a friend ...
Some ransom smart-ass commented out loud as a HCW bypassed the line:
"I didn't realize I was getting heart-surgery at Costco today."

I only have 2 of my 13 tenants that have been able to pay me for May including myself. That location is our biggest and sprawls across 2 buildings. Our capacity is around 550 and we haven't had a single person in it since March 16th. It's a big restaurant that pivots to bar at night. We shut down for a renovation in January that we hadn't fully paid for, so this hit us at a really really bad time financially. Luckily I pulled out a lot of weed money that I've been sitting on, so we'll have no problem making it through... but our burn rate between the 4 locations is about $15k/week right now. They can't, I keep talking to my guys that run commercial Class A + some independent strip malls. From the restaurants at the class A 50%+ are gone, not coming back and closed for good. The strip malls are fairing better, I think this is because it's usually independent smaller landlords/cheaper rent/both scrappy entrepreneur types (not franchise owners) and are working together.

That's tough man, I can imagine as I am in a similar boat to a lesser extent. Good time to rethink restructure if possible, otherwise not much else to do but ride it out as best as you can and try to leverage as much of the government aid as possible. There is supposed to be further small business funding, but nothing that I've seen as of yet.

... Have ... Have you tried? Amazon's like 3-4 weeks out for random shit even if you have Prime membership, and last we checked diapers were out of stock. Order Online + Curbside Pickup for groceries? Forget it. Timeslots are unavailable, whether it's direct with the store (Fortinos, Walmart), or thru Instacart, etc... I'm the peasant that does our shopping now (unless the wife does what she wants when she wants and gets takeout) ... and we spent $1800 fucking dollars last month ... We also picked up a fridge + freezer and shoved it into the basement ... Need to start prepping/packing meats into smaller portions into freezer bags etc... FFS eggs, fucking eggs get the beatdown each time and we lose a few FML we go shopping. this is why were doing as much of our grocery shopping online either amazon or pay and pickup, no going in stores
been doing both without issue amazon has some backlogged products but they usually ship[ much sooner than they advertise
we are using wholesale club for curbside, no longer than a week for pickup so we plan accordingly
theres also places like gordon food services, buy and pickup same day theres also woodward meats and sysco now offers buy and pickup
so many options besides the big name brands if you're having issues

zero issues, try stepping into a store or pay for amazon prime. I ordered 10 items on amazon on sunday and I will be receiving my order this afternoon.
Generally it's much better now than what it used to be a month ago and you shouldn't really have any issues ordering what you need. We ordered a bike for one of the kiddo last week at crappy tire and the curb side pick-up was painless. It was great and I love that I don't have to go inside the store.
Oh and.. 1,800 on take outs?

Was gonna order some Mobil1 from Canadian Tire since it's 45% off. Put it in cart. Says "In store purchase Only" I changed the location and it worked. I guess some locations don't even offer Curbside pick ups.
Not a fan of M1, but VW just quietly made the switch from Castrol to M1.
But for that price? Im not gonna complain, I'll grab a couple of jugs.

How is the produce using these online ordering things? I'm really picky when it comes to produce and it probably makes up 80% of my grocery bill. Pretty sure I don't want someone else picking my veggies and fruits for me. beggars can't be choosers. They generally do ok. I am sure they just grab whatever they see.

I had to make a grocery /beer run today at Loblaws near Markville. All Asians (yellow and brown) were wearing a mask and non were walking around like its nothing. The staff didn't look to be social distancing from each other while not wearing a mask either.
One of my coworkers friend who is a nurse got Covid but she only found out because someone else on the floor had it.
I command their bravery /stupidity.

My work has no intent to get any of us back into the office. They would never meet the social distance requirements. I don't foresee seeing a full office until a vaccine is made.

It's funny that they had opening dates all along and were planning to open regardless of testing, ppe supply and case numbers. I'm gonna say we'll be fully open by mid June at the latest. We will get a second wave but will not shutdown for the second time. Live at your own discression. Had a friend tell me yesterday we need to open back cause he needs to walk his dog in the park. Wtih that type of thinking. Yeah I'm gonna see staying home for a while still.

Went to Longos today, they won't let you in unless you wear a mask.

I think we are all right to be concerned as people are starting to not care/not take this seriously. Even I catch myself being less cautious to be honest.

The second wave seems happening in Korea. South Korea had 0 new domestic cases for 4 straight days a couple of weeks ago. (we still have 1,000 each day) New case developed at a club last week by 1 girl who ignored self quarantine order. Now back to couple hundreds. 20-30 new cases each day since, ALL linked from that club and that girl. One of the club attendee was a private learning center teacher who spread to his students, then to their parents. One guy from the same club infected his uncle and 1yr old nephew It's a Korean site. City of Gunpo's official site. If you click on 33th person, they list all the places she visited until she was admitted to hospital on the 19th http://www.gunpo.go.kr/intro.jspThey also closed high school as soon as it opened. 2 students who were linked to that club tested positive. Above teacher's student went to a karaoke place. 2 OTHER students went to the same karaoke place and got infected.
That is some mad crazy shit. All from 1 person. Should be charged/fined with something. Do they know how/where she got it?

my work sent out a survey about if we "felt safe" going back to the office. The offices are so packed now that there would be 2 or 3 ppl max compare to what it used to be.
I am comfortable with sleeping in, doing my work and getting off and saving 3 hours of commute. I told them I would not feel comfortable until there is a vaccine because I am more "comfortable" at home.
An ex-coworker from another company is redoing the whole floor to adhere to social distancing. They are sending their personal stuff home first. I don't see her being back for a long while.

I just checked the news articles again. Actually that girl got the Corona from club then went all over the place despite the order
The guy who brought the virus to the club was all over the country with a coworker, province to province between April 30 - May 6th. Don't know where he got it from. He had the symptoms before going to the club. His coworker also went to the club. Both tested positive after.

and people are complaining online about all this abuse of power rights and freedom etc..
well this is a clear cut example...some people are going to do stupid shit and not use their heads...so guess what you sometimes need Gov to make that decision for you.
I'm sure of the Gov said everyone be safe and do what you think is right, we'd be in a whole diff place right now.

so here's my take on it.
they are closing schools for the rest of the year, but re opening stores and shit. i've gone to grocery stores, shoppers etc and nobody was wearing masks, hundreds of people at niagara falls, downtown etc so a "second" wave of infections would already be happening....however numbers are still the same and same amount of volume at hospitals. with H1N1 there were no closures, basically a free for all and i think it's the same with this covid shit.
basically at this point, unless you're super old or have pre existing medical conditions, i don't think that covid NOW, is as bad as SARS or H1N1 was in it's full extent.

Just watched a news clip uploaded today https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arSrgtc63hQ
9 people tested positive from a birthday party for a 1 year old. The photographer was the carrier, who was infected from the teacher who went to the club above.
One of those 9 people is a construction worker. They just shut down the construction site which employee 200+ workers.
The teacher is responsible for 40 people so far.

I was running a few missions yesterday throughout the Toronto and I have to say I am not comfortable with what's happening. One business I was at where social distancing was not possible, no one adhered to any of the mandated policy, not the line ups, not the coverings, people talking together in VERY confined spaces, no masks, no gloves, people from outside walking in and out.
It was uncomfortable to watch, maybe we all have herd immunity by now? I don't know, but it's not looking good.
Also wearing a mask in the heat yesterday was shiiiiity.

lots of news articles and top doctors saying were opening up too fast/soon
I really hope this isn't the case but can't disagree with someone that knows way more about this than I do...
fall second wave could be a big deal...

But the memo seems to take that approach a step further, encouraging civil servants to turn a blind eye to abuse.
i have a feeling the CERB thing will lead to universal income. why even work bro?

It's after the fact now, but Toronto Public Health is stupid. I was sent off for 14 days self isolation because I intubated a patient without a respirator on. They initially presented completely differently so we were wearing surgical masks, but they declined very quickly (within 7 minutes) from normal to flatline so we were caught a little off guard. The decline started as we arrived at the elevator banks to go down to the ambo, to just after we loaded them into the ambo...
When their heart stopped, it happened in the ambo and we intubated her, forgetting to switch masks. We got the patient back so that's the good part. But because it was considered an "unprotected exposure" we were sent off.
We were told that public health would notify us if the patient swabbed positive at the hospital... but not if they swabbed negative. Through sources at the hospital, the patient swabbed negative... and of course my partner and I were asymptomatic... but yet, public health insists on only telling you if the person is positive, and that if you don't get a call you still have to self iso because "it could take a while for them to receive the results." That means you have to stay off the entire 14 days no matter what. I even asked "what if we get swabbed and are negative?" Still no.
So basically, rather than having a full crew back at work... they would rather pay us to be off for 14 days. You might say "hey, 14 day paid vacation!" But it's not. It's isolation... under the umbrella that you don't ACTUALLY know if you're negative. You could be told 10 days into the iso that the person actually tested positive... so for the 2 days until someone told me (which is unofficial) I slept downstairs and didn't hang out with my kids.
Once I found out they were negative, I went back to normal life. However, if public health or Durham Health paid a visit and found that I was out of the house or whatever, I would be nailed hard for breaching my isolation directives.
I hate Toronto Public Health.
No wonder everyone is so fucking scared.

Glad to hear you are negative.
The Cases have been steadily decreasing. I guess we've been doing ok. Need to keep washing hands.
I suspect I won't be in at work until 2020. If they aren't forcing me, I am not going.

I've been down that way a number of times when visiting Aphria's greenhouses. The whole area is Mexicans in yellows vests on kijiji used women's bikes riding in the shoulder of country roads. They also all live together in company bought houses (at least that's how Aphria does it) and for sure if 1 worker has it, it's spreads like wildfire when you have 10-15 dudes rooming in 1,500 sq. ft. bungalows in bunk beds.

While I think it's irresponsible to have the woodbridge meets right now, I have to say it makes me happy seeing young kids still do car meets. It's not even remotely close to the shitshow we grew up in along highway 7 but I am glad the scene/whatever is left of it is alive and well. Many good times were had, this forum's entire existence over the last 20+ years is precisely because of the picture above.

What's crazy is when you drive past some of the locations it used to happen at and it's completely different. The biggest one for me is Milley's Donuts. There was just a field on the south side of Steeles back then. Now it's a bustling centre of Asian-ness.

Millies Donuts was pretty fun. Cruising along to the 404 and back up on Kennedy and then eventually ending up at Midland and Ellesmere.
Can't picture myself doing that now with all the street "racing" laws.
