A few things about QC. We changed our testing, we were waiting for things to go to the main lab but not anymore thats why we had a huge jump a few days ago. Other provinces might not be doing the same. We also count everyone in a household with an infected if they have symptoms but aren't tested. So your wife test positive, welp the husband and 2 kids are counted so thats 4 positives instead of 1.
Canada is also a big country with a relativly small population. We have some big city centers, but the rest of the country is spread out. And really outside of MTL, TOR, and VAN,CAL most Canadian cities are pretty small. So far though we have done 200K + tests and we are a country of about 30 or so million, about 150K less test than SK which has over 50 million population. So we have done a lot of test and Quebec has done the most of any province.
But our numbers are going up rapidly especially in QC. Doubling every 5 days, and I live in the epicenter of it all the most infected city in Canada. Ya for me. Italy v2 here we come.

Its called statistical noise. If you scrutinize any data set, you will see it. Its irrelevant. There are always going to be day to day fluctuations for a variety of reasons - backlog of cases being cleared, less people processing tests on weekends, less tests being performed on weekends which depending on turn around time might result in less positive cases on a weekday, and pure random chance. There's a reason we use lines of best fits and not rely solely on data points.

A new Covid-19 problem: Shortages of medicines needed for placing patients on ventilators
On top of the overwhelming shortages of medical equipment to combat Covid-19, medicines needed for patients placed on ventilators are also in short supply.

Tucker has been surprisingly good with his Coronavirus coverage. He was one of the only people taking it seriously even back in January.
Still, I don't think he's right that people wouldn't have done panic runs on masks and exacerbated the problem with masks shortages for medical staff if it had been broadcasted widely that they can be effective in preventing spread of Coronavirus.
Also, of course they are more effective in a controlled hospital setting in combination with other protective gear and safety measures. It's unlikely that a mask alone is going to prevent you from catching illness if you go out into densely populated areas in which people are talking (= spittle flying into the air and onto things), especially if you aren't taking extreme care when removing your mask and disposing of it.

Except Quebec were the only one to have spring break. Other provinces like Ontario it was mid March.
Sorry, however you want to spin this, spring break is responsible for what is happening in Quebec. It's actually the reason schools were closed so early here because they needed to quarantine people for 2 weeks and so many teachers and kids were outside the country during the break
The majority goes to Cuba and Cuba is either filled with Quebecers or Italians so it didn't help
After that you had snowbirds coming back from Florida and having to drive through New York of all places to come back. They even had to threaten them with jail time because they would still stop and shop and visit families instead of going into quarantine when they came back

So I saw a chinese study that basically said symptomatic people are more contagious then asymptomatic. From memory it was 6% to 4% basically. So about 50% bigger chance to get infected from someone with symptoms.
Trying to find a link but for now can't.

You would think it would be a bigger difference since people with symptoms tend to cough.

I made a mistake its 50% not 5%. 4 to 6 is a 50% increase.

I can't imagine what it will do to a city like Flint, which is already dire and full of problems.
Daily task force briefing coming up
Also .... CDC weighs making all Americans wear facemasks. Where are we buying these from? There are none.
Surgeon General even today was saying there's no evidence of any benefit to wearing a mask. If there is no benefit why do medical staff need them? Obviously having a mask will help keep germs out. Does he think we are stupid?

i have 3 bottles of hand sanitizer scatter throughout my house and sunroom.
change clothes multiple times a day(goes straight in the washing, fills up I wash)
I’ve been skipping fast food and takeout. Last thing I want to do is get fat throughout all this.
Vitamins, vitamin C, and will lower my alcohol consumption
Unless I have a good reason, I’m not going out.
started to clean for knobs, car handle, and gate handles.
I let the mail sit in the mailbox for days, then finally grab and wash my hands
some of the things i am doing

There is a benefit in wearing masks, that's total b.s. They just want you to think otherwise because there's a shortage.
Wearing a mask and washing your hands often would be the best solution for all of this

Here is the time stamp about catching the infected. Chinese study so 60% chance its defective.
So does this mean that out of 100 people in room symptomatic person would infect 6.3, while a asymptomatic person would infect 4.1 ? Put 1 person in an office building with 1000's of people and then think how many can get infected.
Also China closing down theaters and other things. Them not beating the virus is disheartning even if the CCP is scum. I feel sorry for the people and it also doesn't provide much hope. Well there is at least Taiwan and South Korea.

Masks (the typical cheap surgeon ones) are more effective at keeping the germs in, rather than out. It's extremely important that people who have symptoms wear them to prevent spread. With Coronavirus, since it's dormant for so long and extremely contagious, it would likely have helped tremendously if everyone wore masks.
Again, I don't think it has a ton of effect in terms of preventing germs from coming in, but it's obviously effective at blocking spittle from speech/coughs/sneezes, etc. from spraying into a person's surroundings and contaminating others.

The thing about CDC weighing requiring masks is apparently fake news being spread on social media. They and the Surgeon General denied it.

All this proves is once again that authorities like to feed u.s bullshit.
Chloroquine isn't effective! Yet in France only one died on almost 2000 patients while being treated with it.
Masks don't work! Right, right.
Best way is to use common sense in these crisis and not take all the information they force feed you as the absolute truth

This whole mask thing is suspect. Like we don't need military grade masks, the virus isn't airborne. We just need mask to stop us from expelling droplets. How hard is it to make these things? We make probably trillions of tons of clothes and Cell phone cases FFS.
I get this is a pandemic, a war , and in war you can be short on supplies. But its kinda insane that everywhere is short on masks, but yet somehow everyone has masks to donate either months ago or with China now.
I would wear a mask, only problem is there is no where to buy them. And I don't want to take a chance on Amazon with their scummy sellers.

Its effective on a population based level if everyone wore them correctly (they dont). It provides some protection from others, and provides a lot of protection for others if you're sick. If everyone wore one properly, we'd have a lot less cases. The problem is a lot of people don't wear them properly. I see people all the time with a mask just lying on their chin, exposing their nose and face. There's no point if thats how you're going to wear it.

If you stay in home do not need a mask , if you need to go out for groceries 6 ft protocol and take a bottle.with soap solution to keep hands clean. Once on home leave shoes outside take off al cloth and put in inside a bag. Take a shower. Wash the clothes as always but of you can get vinager include a cup.

Italy detail update for 3/31:
I wish the website was static, but it updates every day. 10943 total cases in the count now.
0-29: 2 - x0.00 (+0)
30-39: 25 - x1.25 (+5)
40-49: 92 - x1.03 (+3)
50-59: 409 - x1.10 (+40)
60-69: 1271 - 1.09 (+109)
70-79: 3724 - x1.08 (+268)
80-89: 4366 - x1.09 (+382)
90+: 1051 - x1.12 (+112)
Again all pretty much on par with what I've been seeing along the way. Still old folks dying for the most part.

Anyone else reporting this? Obviously the NCRI has a vested interest in things being worse than they appear.. and Breitbart are... ehhhhhhhhhhh.. I don't doubt things are worse there than reported, but I'd like some other sources before I accept this.
That 24/7 ice cream has to be getting pretty low.
