A lot of people I've talked to, its not going out from home/hotel to airport that is scary, but the 12hr plane ride with recirculated air that is scary.:heckno:

Not to mention, on those flights that are still coming back through Japan/HK/Korea are a lot of people that are connecting from China.

There are 2 somewhat related issues that are boiling me up in different ways.

The first is China's continual refusal to give Canada a clear pass to evacuate Canadians stuck in Hubei. As far as I know, Global Affairs Canada has arranged for a flight and stand ready to pick those guys up from Hubei, but officially, China is citing some BS excuse of how the Wuhan / Hubei airport and airspace are closed, so our Canadian chartered plane cannot go there to pick the Canadians up. Well... that closure certainly hasn't stopped US, UK, Germany, Japan, etc. from evacuating their citizens...

Of course I have zero proof over this, but I can't help but think that despite being in a time like this, China is still trying to play games with us over the Meng Wenzhou detention and snubbing us.

Another baffling issue is, when these said Canadians are ready to be flown out of Hubei, supposedly they'll be taken to CFB Trenton in Ontario for a 14 day quarantine. That is absolutely the right thing to do, but in the face of that sound policy, our Canadian ports of entry continue to only require self declaration of whether someone has recently been to Wuhan. Right now, the epidemic has already spread so far and wide beyond Wuhan & Hubei. And we continue to keep our borders wide open.
FailFish

If we are gonna quarantine Canadians for 2 weeks when they return from Hubei, why aren't we doing the same to travellers who have been to China in the last 2 weeks?

That would be deemed racist. We have the fucking idiotic drama club running the country, only concerned about feelings and empty platitudes.

Assholes in Toronto gifted us this shitty government only to get the coronovirus in return. Ironically, the same people that voted for these clowns will get infected.

feel extremely lucky having just (relatively) come back from my trip to Thailand and Japan on the Jan 13th (via Taipei). reading story how some Korean woman picked up the virus in thailand. WutFace

in Japan and was debating picking up some masks as they r super cheap there (prob quality is better also). but didn't . did pickup some Japanese whisky tho. :lol

feels like having dogged a bullet. :heckno:

So another rumor started spreading on online after a guy collapsed in front of HK BBQ Master in Richmond. Dude passed out from an epileptic seizure and people are freaking out.

I want people to take this seriously, but don't be an idiot. FailFish

1) Most shipments of masks from China are locked down; unable to ship out from China to outside. Customs will just take them. There were 10 boxes declared lost.
2) With masks being shipped out, there has been thefts also. When you call the courier company; they will pay you insurance + 15% of declared value. Tons of anger but you can't not declare them as mask and you can't over declare the content's value.
3) My uncle is going to fly to Indonesia to personally pick up mask to bring back to HK.
which I think is f-ed up.... to go thru all this for a mask. Desperate times I guess.


Those idiots are shipping maks out of china?? Why on earth would a person do that when China needs it most than anywhere... Sounds stupid.

Really? I heard it was not related to coronaviruses. There was a posting floating around on Wechat about how it was just a seizure.
