Pics of neighbor worth coughing on her lap?

Or his lap....If you're into that sort of thing.

A little awkward. I think I may be his neighbour.

Brother, theres enough actually real factual things for you to be angry and stressed about, that as your doctor, I strong suggest not borrowing trouble about things that might be announced tomorrow.

I think this is announced already. I don't think I'm sharing early intel on this one. It's already real.

They're gonna let people visit the most vulnerable segment of the population that we've crippled our economy to protect over the last 6.5 weeks.

I'm missing something in your post. I'm not the "might be announced" person. I knew and stated that High River had exploded a week before it was announced and I knew it was at Cargill and in their hospital. I even knew about the preliminary numbers at Mackenzie Towne a few days before that story broke.
This is real and it's demeaning to our entire effort to allow this. People should be furious.

I am hearing visitation to hospitalized (or in care center) elderly folks is going to be permitted. Very suddenly, like tomorrow. But don't worries, it's totes okays because it will need to be outside?

Is this fuckin real!!??

Everyone just go back to work. Everything you've done has been a total fucking waste of time. Lick your hands. Cough on your neighbour's crotch. Go apple bobbing in High River. Give an angry dragon to your roommate's dog.
Nothing matters.
This is hitting Ctrl+Z on our last 6 weeks.

I think the government is just starting to see the mental health penalties associated with this all going down... The yes go outside yes go socialize 6' apart is ok - is likely that first step for both the mental health and - our ERs aren't overwhelmed so let's raise transmission a bit again to allow us to get this done sooner.

And where's the apple bobbing? I wanna go, I've had it I'm good kids driving me to drink!

Gents, hoping For some insight. Does anyone know of friends/family who recently entered Canada from the US? Based on the information posted on the .gov site, self quarantine rules seem strict and rightfully so.

The reason I ask is, as a Canadian with a US green card, I'm thinking of coming back to Calgary with my old lady (American). My parents have a secondary suite with kitchen and separate entrance. Abiding by self quarantine rules is doable. Wondering if this will suffice or what kinda proof we'll need. Not sure if coming home counts as non-essential travel but I'd feel safer in Canada then the east coast.

Any insight is appreciated.

Got an Alberta WCB Covid-19 relief check in the mail yesterday, am still working full time hours and then some and certainly was not expecting such. No doubt it will be paid for in the form of future higher taxes but it will go towards a new fridge as our 23+ year old main fridge has decided it's close to calling it a day. Check was worth more than half of my annual premiums.

No direct experience, but they have to let you in as a Canadian citizen. Not sure about your significant other.

I've read about the rcmp doing check ins and you need to give them the address. Could be a good idea to have photos of where you're staying and your plan to get groceries and booze.

A town in southern Sweden has turned to a traditional source to try to prevent the coronavirus spreading during an annual festive event on Thursday - chicken manure.

The university town of Lund began spreading chicken droppings in its central park to put off would-be revellers who would usually come on April 30 to celebrate Walpurgis Night.

Perhaps we could apply this outside of the legislature to ward off protesters. Maybe a bit inside as well.

that's chickenshit.

It's all detailed here:

The question is if she's travelling back for "essential". Since it doesn't mention needing written authorization, my guess is this isn't going to be strictly enforced, as long as you're not saying you're going back for a vacation haha.

[ExtraSlow]

Say that she "normally resides" in Canada and they will let her in.

But don't say it with the air quotes. That might set off some alarms.

To those arguing that early border closures to China would have impacted the outbreak in Canada, the data does not really support that:

“ Canada's early COVID-19 cases came from the U.S. not China, provincial data shows”

What we are seeing right now is just the beginning of a very very long and bumpy road ahead.

[revelations]

On January 25, the first identified presumptive case in Canada was a male in his 50s who travelled between Wuhan and

Guangzhou before returning to Toronto on January 22"
Final testing conducted at the National Microbiology Laboratory in Winnipeg, Manitoba confirmed the presumptive case on January 27

But no, the liberals did not want to flatten the curve early on, in early Jan when they were advised of the situation by NATO and other inteliigence groups - that responsibility should be put on the populous instead.
