pandemic doesn't only refer to death rate. But the overall spread of infection. Because this has now gone World wide. It's fair to call it a pandemic.

Yeah but you could be showing no symptoms and still be a carrier.

Well, last night Steve Mnuchin explained the problem with the last couple of Trump press conferences.....(stop me if you heard this one before) "The media was taking the President's statements literally"

No, his inability to handle this situation has caused investors to lose confidence. The fact that he went out of his way to sign the Friday bump makes it clear that he has zero sense of what's going on. Investors know this and so do most functioning adults. When the largest economy in the world is led by an idiot, you can expect everything to fall apart.

Might as well do nothing then.

Nope, Americans are exempt. They are the biggest threat right now and have nothing but a clusterf.... response but they're going to be allowed across the border.

My wife arrived home last night. Flight went through YYC, as planned. Got nothing but a sheet recommending self-monitoring for 14-days. Of course, government is recommending 14 day self-isolation. As of this morning, all international flights will have a questionnaire and will be recommending the 14-day self-isolation. Too slow for this. Anyhow, my wife arrived late and I have had no contact. We're keeping the kids home this week because they want to be around their mother and it's not fair to send them into school after having contact with her. I expect the schools to be closed by tomorrow anyhow. As for me, I'm going to work today in the office and likely from home for the next two weeks. I'm fortunate that I can do this, although it's not an ideal time of the year to be doing it. Stay safe everyone.

Thanks for the map. I know not everyone reads the General forum, but for further discussion and news on COVID-19, lets use the thread there so all info is in one place.

I honestly don't care about NBA and what they do, and even NHL I don't care as much as CFL. I just want a 2020 CFL season. My mental health has taken a beating in the last several days, and I don't wanna think about what a lack of CFL football would do to me....

I hear Saskatchewan has plenty of toilet paper to spare.

No, it was terrible advice when he knew that the gov't was not taking the threat seriously. He went on national TV and said everything was calming down and to buy the dip, knowing full well that the gov't had zero response and that things were clearly going to get worse. Kudlow is just a snake oil salesman like his boss.

absurd

Hmm, Milt and cookies. Sounds like a good combo..

I believe it was 6/7 cases were travel related?

Was cruising some favorite sites and was given a new handle. One World Fascist Globalist. Anyone care to translate that for me?

My work will be never close so yeah... Fun times.

Yep, Manitoba is now recommending 14 days isolation for anyone who has traveled anywhere internationally since March 1st. By back-dating it to the 1st, this now applies to me and my wife so we're home bound for the next 6 days (it's retroactive to the day we returned from the US).

He's pretty open about not even eating anything with sugar and never drinking alcohol... I highly doubt he would smoke weed.

The US was advised of the COVID19 outbreak on December 1st, 2019, but due to the slashing of the CDC Department of Health budgets, nothing was done about it.

Might as well test for Spaghetti-Os. Who cares?

Milt Stegall never would have...

I think we can blame all the governments for not shutting down international travel after the Wuhan situation became known. But its all moot now and we have to try to work and fight this together no sense blaming its too late.

what makes you believe that he does?

I think there is a growing sense that you just have to order a complete shut down for 30 days. Especially on impacted places where stupid people aren’t taking advice and continue to pack bars etc

This has been going on for a long time. About 10 years ago, my son's high school receiver here in Calgary who went on to junior football with the Calgary Colts practiced everyday with the Stamps as part of a development program they had at the time. He'd go to Stamps practice in the morning & then to Colts at night. that isn't being done anymore. He told my son back then that just about all the Stamps receivers he practiced with smoked weed & weren't concerned about being tested at all. I think a majority of players smoke weed now. So, makes no sense to test them.

Is this the same doctor who said he wasn't obese?

And the President can exempt companies under 200. Weak. And, even with that, 40 or Republicans didn't vote for it. Despicable. It will sit on McConnell's desk over the weekend because rich Republicans don't care about the poor or elderly.

Great. So now we have TWO crisis’

Any league returning would be a good sign.

Your hourly reminder that this clown is a lying scumbag

Just came back from Costco. Asked the cashier if there was any more toilet paper. Without even raising her eyes to look at me she yelled out, “NO!” Man I felt awkward having to hobble back to the washroom with my pants down to my ankles. For any of you who might be running low on toilet paper, Princess Auto has a sale on 10 lbs. of shop rags for $5.55 starting tomorrow!

He just had to have a qualifier, in there.

No symptoms. Only tested because he learned he had been exposed. This is what people don’t understand.

Omar and Brother Mouzone bringing biowarfare to the game

Yeah. I know. I think borders should be closed

Yup, should close the border to the US, except for the movement of goods.

**** man, that sucks. All the best, dunno what else to say.

Did You Know...The new CBA eliminates suspensions for positive marijuana tests...

It is a sad commentary on humans that there is never a lack of predators willing to traffic on human fear and misery. Alex Jones (he of Infowars) and disgraced evangelist Jimmy Bakker have both been advertising "cures" for the COVID19 illness and have been warned to stop immediately or face criminal prosecution.

I would be shocked if Buck deviated greatly from Lapo's approach to running an offence and play calling. Why would he? This offence has been very successful over the past few years. We will see a ton of Andrew, and a ton of short passes again this year.
