So - as of right now - Coronavirus in Canada already looks flattened... lockdown seemed to work pretty quickly 1% of cases are critical and 0.017% have been fatal - deaths spiked around March 16-22 but then dropped back down and are not increasing exponentially It really seems like we do not have the population density for this virus to overwhelm our entire country Canada should be able to re-open by Easter if these numbers hold - but I doubt we will - panic has taken hold Again as of right now - JV5 seems to have a point about the flu v. covid - why don't we care that flu kills up to 650,000 people globally each year... is it just because its mostly in poor countries? https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/canada/

That's my point - Russia has nothing to lose.... there's a massive military build up near the Polish border between NATO and Russia - something to keep your eye on

Looks like Pinball won best CFL nickname of all time... Henry Williams and Joe Paopao are unimpressed.
-
Sounds more like Russia's strategy - China has too much to lose...

Argonauts sign QB Nichols to three-year deal
Floyd replied to Deiter Fan's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Lapo and Nichols are Game Managers together... Richie Hall was a bum until we had WillieJ and Bighill - maybe Lapo and Nichols win the lottery too -
Well you need 75% infection for herd immunity... otherwise we just live in lockdown forever... its the choice we will have to make - how long do we shut down the world I recognize that it is more serious than the flu but it still has a 0.0001% death rate when looking at the entire population - we are essentially bankrupting Gen X's senior years health care during the Covid panic... kind of scary.
-
If that is the standard, there will be no organized sports for two years...
-
Tax rate totally affects where businesses operate... at least the larger ones
-
Its not just one... the Republican party is swarming with ideologues
-
Like I said, I'm skeptical of Ford's release of worst case scenario and I think he is late to the game... but he's making some positive moves for sure
-
100% - Palliser has done a pretty good job - I'd say Legault, Horgan and Palliser have made some good moves... Horgan is staying very low key but there's a lot of infrastructure ready if the curve spikes again
-
Yeah same old blah blah. And no its not partisan to say that the premiere of a province picking up supplies on his own truck is staged by Warren Kinsella. It might look nice but its about the worst use of his time you could imagine.
-
My concern is that Kinsella 'leaked' this photo and he's likely backing Doug Ford to be the next federal Con leader...
-
I agree with all of this.. except we need to revisit this in 3 weeks when Coronavirus hits 30x what it currently is...
-
I'm a bit hesitant about this... no one released figures for the states to prevent panic, then Trump finally comes out with 2 million or 200-300,000... then it turns out that everyone is using a 100,000 death scenario Still bleak - but I expect Ford to release a worst case scenario to make himself look good if its half that
-
J5V does have a point in a weird way... only time will tell if the cure is worse than the virus... 10 million on EI in the US, massive debt for GenX to figure out (which we don't have the numbers to solve), crime wave coming if this shutdown lasts and more rights given away freely - we have paid a high price to flatten the curve I mean we're not talking about saving people's lives - we're just talking about spreading out the fatalities over a long time period so as not to overwhelm our system - we just don't know the collateral damage to people who have serious health issues or safety/abuse issues at home We've shut down the western world for a hail mary pass on a vaccine - hope this ends like it does in the movies...

Tough when the whole market dropped by 25%...
-
It wasn't reported on Fox until yesterday
-
This is the biggest stock market theft in history - all these guys know exactly who and when they will bailout im watching the troop buildup in Eastern Europe - trump/Putin would have a lot to gain by starting a war soon
-
All I know is man did we dodge a bullet by not electing Scheer and the cons
-
I wouldn't mind an import+ rating for guys like that... like raise the ratio to seven CDNs and seven players who live in Canada...
-
League would go for it - Toronto is the only team with Cdn QBs...
-
Death rate didn't seem to spike with the cases in BC... almost seems like things are levelling off over here - will find out this week
-
I was reading that locals think the death toll is around 40k in Wuhan
