Covid-19 (Coronavirus) - Status Update Thread

this topic is to focus on status updates & advice (no opinion or politics please).. status.

latest status is that it's serious, probably isn't going to be contained and most large companies are making contingency plans, cancelling large events etc... which i don't think would happen if it was just people being alarmist.

the incubation period means it may have already spread further and infected many more people than are currently known, so expect jumps in the numbers over the coming days and weeks.. tracking.

In Ontario a doctor who lives in Toronto but works in Hamilton Cancer Clinic just came back from Austria and went to work the next day. She was confirmed positive. Ontario was at thirty-six and now has jumped to over four hundred fifty suspected cases. I hope for all those cancer patients on chemo they don't get it.

All publicly funded schools in Ontario will be closed for three weeks now. That will be hard for nurses, doctors ect who have to be at work yet who looks after their kids? This will be hard on everyone every which way possible.

There will be a sliver lining to the virus

by JimmyYoung in

so for years the usa has been relying on cheap labor in china.

supply lines were never interrupted.

china has gotten away with murder in its sending anything it wants with little checking of its goods.

What about people that are in need of certain meds right now? It's happening now. I needed Colestipol or the bile will build up in my body and then I die. My pharmacist said he had filled my order and stupid me trusted him. Two weeks later I go to get my pills which I have to take with every meal ( four pills per meal, three meals per day equals eighty-four per week) and I had the wrong prescription. Called back and am told there's a back order on them until April 1. The UK has been out of them since Dec.. So I had a prescription on paper and started phoning around and no one seem to have it. Finally we found four drug stores out of fifteen that had some left over. That took eight hours of driving and waiting for them to be filled. We also had photocopied fifteen scripts in order for each drug store to fill. Yes it was illegal but we were desperate. My pharmacy had let us down. They told me that there were tons of back orders due to China. This virus is hurting people in more ways than one.

Caves, we placed our orders in for butcher supplies and everything was up by ten dollars including one box of vacuum bags for packaging pepperretts. We noticed too hunters are bringing in their wild game to be processed because they know prices will be going up if this price gouging doesn't stop. Unreal

Simon, we know of a couple who recently went to Isreal and are still over there. Isreal has shut down its airlines yet Air Canada is free to come and go as they like from Isreal to here. That is the plane they flew out in. That just doesn't make sense. I wonder if that rule applies to all the other countries that state they are shutting their airlines down. Then all airlines going in and coming from should do the same. The world is so messed up. I have an MRI booked in Toronto in two weeks and am cancelling. What good would it do if the cancer is back and this shit is going on. Damned if you do and damned if you don't. Yet I know of four families right now that are travelling over seas without no worries. One of those families have four little one from two and up. Can't wait to go to Florida. Just don't get it.

On the BBC station they were saying that everyone is running to emerg in Ottawa thinking they have the Coronvirus. The emerg was packed with nineteen ambulance beds in line trying to get their patients triaged and couldn't get in. There was a line up from the ambulances on one side of the hospital and the emergency rooms packed. They said if your needing assistance by ambulance you will be waiting a long time due to all these people that are panicking. Also in Toronto a student didn't know if he should go and write his tests at his university because his dad is under house arrest due to coming back from Iran and having it. Yet there were others in the same household going about their business coming and going and possibly spreading the virus. And Kitchener Ontario a woman returning from Italy contracted it. Total of 22 in Ontario alone

Went to Cosco today and all sold out of toilet paper, hand sanitizer and paper towels. It didn't stop everyone from pigging out on the free samples though. One lady went back four times and on the fourth time I told her she needs a corona to down all that food she piled in. She just laughed but I don't think it sunk in. Never seen so many people coughing and not covering their mouths. Now when someone coughs at me I cough right back at them. Love the stupid stare they give back.

Just placed our orders for our processing plant and every single item is up ten dollars including a box of plastic bags. I see people cashing in on this which is really sad in times like these. Things are already expensive. Today I went to buy two prescriptions and they were back ordered and not knowing when they can be filled. This scared me so that I got my doctor to write up the two prescriptions for my stash which I will pay out of pocket but then return next month for my regular scripts if there are any and have my medical plan cover those monthly. I will die if I don't have these two drugs on hand which I take everyday for the rest of my life. Already have a backup plan if all fails. The shelves of antacids, gravol, hand sanitizers are all cleaned out. No one was in the doctors office yet both doctors had their masks on walking around. I have never seen that ever. In the hospital my internal medicine doctor had her mask on. Even the hospital was dead come to think of it. Don't know how anyone can say we live in exciting times. Our investments are doing well so far and have nothing to do with the stock markets. They have really taken a dive. I wish all of you the best through these trying times and hope none of you get it. Best of luck!

This just the beginning of what's to come and maybe we will wish that it would only be the coronavirus to deal with.But it's not. Toronto had to cancel some operations due to surgical gowns the surgeons wear were contaminated as well as some of their equipment and medical tools. There is also the problem of medications being put on hold because we just can't get them like antibiotics. Hospitals would be in trouble, diseases like TB would be on the rise and so on. I went to get my antacid filled and it's been on back order for two months due to this problem with China. So I went to look on the shelves and all three rows of shelves are empty along with gravol. People are stock piling alright. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/coronavirus-human-drug-shortage-food-drug-administration/?fbclid=IwAR0d4D7iqRq2nDOntiCzGxgmwIqVfMCEpC1tn-BdYPcgt21It0HR_FS69Zc

Allowed?

by punkofnice in

a jobo i know has cancer.

her son goes and cleans her house and generally cares for her.

so does another non-jobo relative.. the congregation, interestingly, has shown very little support apart from the odd one rabbiting on about 'bible promises this and that'.. so, the co visited and said, 'but your son is an apostate(tm).

We also had a nightmare of an experience where we had to move to be left alone and then three months after we had moved came down with cancer. Didn't know anyone and had to deal with learning about the cancer. No friends, no family and no children to help us. Just the two of us alone. Such an evil evil cult!
