I legit LOL'd

I am sorry where and when did JT say he is not getting tested? His wife went for testing immediately when she show symptoms. And JT self quarantine himself before the test result even came back.

The sauce was in the sauce I quoted lol

“Also on the advice of doctors, he will not be tested at this stage since he has no symptoms. For the same reason, doctors say there is no risk to those who have been in contact with him recently.”



Seriously what in the fuck. No risk to those who have been in contact with him? So his wife is positive, he's asymptomatic, which means he's probably contagious, but no one around him is at risk? Is anyone paying attention?

There's your free medical care right there LUL

Justin Trudeau, everybody.

Gotta say, this all feels so surreal

The guy on Joe Rogan said closing schools especially considering children are seemingly somewhat uneffected by this could be a massive additional strain in the healthcare system as 35% or more of Nurses and other healthcare workers have school aged children? Can’t remember if he said single parents or not

He mentioned the single mothers thing, kind of weird. But he went on to talk about how many diseases are spread through schools which end up infecting their parents, and going from there. Kids are almost always asymptomatic, but the key is to lower the amount of large crowds so of course you cancel school.

It's the first thing they did in HK, in fact schools are still closed and have been since January (although international schools are opening up).

Not just that, but the suggestion that kids go into HUGE SOCIAL GATHERINGS to learn about SOCIAL DISTANCING... like... WHAT????? :fulloffuck:

I hope the media calls out this bullshit at the next press conference. obviously there's a high chance that he's positive as well. If anything, this is probably the PR department thinking it's better to just say he's being quarantined than admitting he has the virus. In reality, it would be better for the public's trust in our system if he were to get tested and come back with a negative.

In B.C. at least, 2 week spring break starts Tom anyways

That's actually really lucky, it will be easier to simply extend it since kids are already out of school. It was the same situation here with chinese new year.

Things will be much clearer to these clowns in 2 weeks I think

So what's situation like down under. If this is supposed to get better with warmer weather. Australia should be doing well with coronavirus.

Tom hanks might think otherwise

I'm curious how long til they shut down domestic travel. I'm supposed to go to Sask for work in a week and a bit. I'm seriously considering driving out if they don't cancel it altogether.

I assume the issue is if he tests positive, his whole cabinet will likely need to be tested. And if they test positive, well...

I think it's because he's showing what the proper procedure is if you get sick. Since they can't test everyone who is asymptomatic yet, the right thing to do is isolate yourself if you get sick or are in contact with someone who got sick, and go from there.

Don't go to the hospital unless you have problems.

Like everyone says, for most young healthy people, this is a minor thing. Going out to confirm a test just puts you in public needlessly. Honestly it doesn't matter if you have it or not, if you have symptoms, quarantine yourself for 2 weeks.

But it can spread asymptomatically.

Yup that's why he's been self isolating since she got sick

This is the procedure for most normal people. The PM himself obviously should get tested regardless. So he's kind of doing it "wrong" by setting the "right" example

If he tests positive,he may have been spreading it to those he's come into contact with.
Isn't that quite likely?

Interesting tweet/analysis my wife sent me...

Yes that's why he's self isolating!

As for that map above, I think a lot of it is "correlation does not mean causation" and the spread is more related to travel trends than anything else.

Too early to tell if temperature has a significant effect

Ok, maybe I'm not being clear.
If you were in contact with someone, probably on multiple occasions, whose wife tested positive, wouldn't you want the husband, who you'd been in contact with, probably on multiple occasions, to be tested in order to know if you had anything to worry about?
Regardless of whether or not he's symptomatic?
Does that not seem like it would be the responsible thing to do?

Yeah like I said in his specific case, he should be tested publicly

For the general public - for now since testing is not being done on a large enough scale - it's better to just self isolate unless you actually get sick. We don't want to overburden the hospitals

However the best option is what Korea is doing, just flood the population with testing. They have drive-thru testing!

They should be working on getting that done, so they can really nail down who needs to be quarantined and who doesn't

Well, i think you may have more faith in people's judgment to self isolate than i do.

We're at 150 now. Was 100 this morning.
