Two more cities near Wuhan have been locked down

Anecdotes from 2 degrees of acquaintence (friend of friend) who work at CBSA at airport saying two people have been quarantined at Richmond general.

People crowding to hospitals in Wuhan.... This is the LAST PLACE you want to go if you're not actually sick FailFish

I thought it was fake news, but friend at VCH confirmed it to me that there are people at RGH suspected to have it and are undergoing testing.

Edit: @JDMDreams I doubt there would be headlines, cause they don't want to cause mass panic.

NVM posted above already. Wonder if it's confirmed. Didn't see any headlines about it

Just in from @PHSAofBC. Despite rumours to the contrary, there are NO confirmed cases of novel coronavirus at Richmond Hospital or anywhere in B.C.

News site putting gifs in their tweets FailFish

damn Wuhan and its bat soup.

I have mixed feelings about this. I feel like the Gov are more likely to have tight lips on the situation to avoid mass hysteria.

On another note:

According to Vancouver Sun:Yikes, self-reporting. I wonder if people are more likely to be honest about their symptoms or would they just lie about it.

Perhaps they were quarantined for symptoms but it did not turn out to be coronavirus.

This makes sense... If we've been sending potential patients of the Coronavirus to RGH, then it's possible that the news about it contacting this virus more real... I agree, the gov will always try to downplay it so it does not create a mass panic attack...

In a situation like that (declarations at the border), isn't it a federal crime to make false declarations?

Of course, if someone where to make that false claim, I doubt federal prosecution is a thing on their mind...

It's also a crime to falsely identify as a witness to an ICBC claim or make a false report to the police. I don't think people actually care or get prosecuted.

Also it's technically a false declaration when you declare $800 (CAD) rather than $800 USD at the border. But meh

U also forgot about the Chinese factor, like they give a fuck

Found a subreddit dedicated to this topic: https://www.reddit.com/r/China_Flu/

I won't go into where I work but I want to say a couple of things.

1. You need to question where your information is coming from. Are they credible? What's their source?

A couple of screenshots being passed around on whatsapp has about the same validity as "yo i heard mcpizza is coming back, trust me I have a source"

2. The vast majority of people who die from seasonal flu include: The elderly, individuals with severely compromised immune systems (terminally ill, cancer patients, etc) and children can be susceptible too. SARS (and potentially the current virus) was capable of killing individuals who were otherwise healthy before being infected. It is NOT the same.

Wuhan, 2017

Hong Kong public hospital employees are threatening to strike if HK doesn't close its borders to China

lol @ anyone who thinks it would be common to self report properly


Another rumor going around is someone being quarantined at the airport ripped the mask off a doctor and spit in their face...

Of course times like these, 99% of what we hear is going to be bullshit.

LOL

The mainlanders are being quarantined in Paris and Bordeaux now.

Arrange meetup to buy all, say deliver out to Abbotsford and no show :troll:

Unless you are a store vendor, I don't see why normally someone would have so many.

Technically they are a one time use mask. Having a small stock isn’t out of the question.

I don’t know how medical personel can’t trust those things. Even if your “fit tested” they still get bumped around. Shit, even with a true respirator half the time I have “leak” marks on my face (particulate which has bypassed the seal). I’m far from a germ freak, but I wouldn’t dare work in a hospital without a space suit. Hahah when this junk is going around. Lol
