March 16, 20205 yr comment_467277 My company in Calgary (and presumably will be doing the same for their offices in Edmonton, Ottawa and now Winnipeg) basically told everyone to work from home where we can. Seems like it's the sensible thing to do for jobs that can work remotely. Why commute to an office and spread germs all along the way when everyone has the ability to be connected to everything anyway.

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! I hear Saskatchewan has plenty of toilet paper to spare.

Hit all the stores in Southdale today and no tp. At this rate a sale on Depends is starting to look good.

March 16, 20205 yr comment_467289 I hate to admit this but I accidentally loaded up on TP about two weeks ago. I went to Costco unexpectedly (for my mom) and thought I’d grab some while I was there because I thought we were running low. Got hone to find the gf had just moved the packers to the basement (whereas I just toss one in each bathroom). Long story short we are covered for the year and if Civilization falls, we’ve got the currency.

March 17, 20205 yr comment_467301 I have very little faith in people to do the right thing. I have some faith us Canadians will but 130 million idiots in the US willl not
March 17, 20205 yr comment_467304 Just today - an employee who works for a relative's company down in the States - his wife tested positive for COVID 19. They were not at all concerned about him still coming to work "it's just another virus."

The sheer number of people who simply don't understand that this is a team effort to prevent spreading this thing to all sorts of vulnerable people is staggering.
March 17, 20205 yr comment_467316 So typical Mike Spector -So the White House advises Americans not to gather in groups of more than 10. Then they run out 16 people to make this announcement.
March 17, 20205 yr comment_467319 So at least now we know where he was getting his misleading information from. Jared Kushner repeatedly advised President Donald Trump that the media’s coverage was exaggerating the severity of the coronavirus outbreak, according to a report from The New York Times. In the early days of the outbreak, Trump downplayed the threat from the virus, and publicly accused the “Fake News Media” and Democrats of trying “to inflame” the situation. The Times reports that Kushner, who was tasked with carrying out research into the coronavirus to help Trump decide what to do next, privately told Trump what the president then repeated publicly. Kushner has reportedly sought out a bigger role for himself in the coronavirus task force despite his lack of knowledge on the topic. He is said to have urged his father-in-law to go ahead with his European travel ban and declare a national emergency, both of which were announced last week.
March 17, 20205 yr Author comment_467321 Posting this here too in the relevant thread: If you want situational reports, please look at the WHO website. They update this daily with official reports: https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019/situation-reports/

Something something Biden's son something something. What a joke that family and administration is.

March 17, 20205 yr comment_467325 How many people are going to die in the US, because the Trump administration perpetuated a state of denial, during the crucial first month and a half of the outbreak?

March 17, 20205 yr comment_467332 And Trump has said that each state should look after getting their own medical supplies. Actually, considering how utterly incompetent he and his administration have been, this is not completely bad advice. Big of him to admit his uselessness,
