Corona Virus #6

[3930dave]

Thanks Dave...of interest to me as I am a dual citizen and most of my family is still in Canada.

For the rest of you, Canada is about 10% our size wrt population, and 90% of Canadians lives within 100 miles of the US border.

Welcome.

Lots of cross-border folk in your area. One of the best engineers I worked with grew up in Windsor, worked for a while in Toronto, then went to work for Ford in Detroit.

I like to see data from more than one source. Another wizard I know sent me this one:

COVID-19 Canadian Outbreak

Not sure if it's been up here before....

Rgds, D.

I DO trust the leadership we have, especially at the federal level. ironically I would also trust the NY leadership if I lived there. What do you think about that?

Well not wanting to be the one to get this thread closed down, the only comment I'll make about that statement is;
Cuomo is a very articulate and polished speaker who sounds very good up front.

does taking zinc all by itself have a positive effect on the immune system?
I have a full bottle, wonder if I should start taking it.

General immunity - us Northerners's are typically Vitamin D deficient, esp. this time of year. Better half and I have been taking Vit D supplements recent Winters, and found it helpful. Again, watch daily dosage levels, as too much is harmful.

(Not just a Northerner thing though.... many of us don't spend much time in the sun today, and even if you do, IIRC our skin processes less Vit D from the sun as we age).

Rgds, D.

Oh, don't get me wrong, I don't like MANY of Cuomo's policies, but in this case he seems to be doing a good job.

Will the "stimulus package" be enough to bury the dead, feed the living, pay the bills, and keep the jobs?

Who knows, probably not for long.

I think it's important for all of us regardless what State or Country we live in to judge our leaders/managers on what they are doing today. Not on what they did last year that pi**ed us off.

St Joseph Missouri went into lockdown. Mission essential movement only. I respect that and wouldn't even consider driving to that town for anything less than a life/death situation. It's irrelevant whether I think it is justified or not. It's irrelevant who made the decision. They are in charge. Not me.

He did do a good job with his speech. We need more of that, there are still people out there acting like nothing is going on. This whole thing is bringing to light so many vulnerabilities that we have as a country.

Locally some of the remote counties are tracing their first COVID cases to residents who went to Seattle (after notices were put out), the first hot spot in the country.

I think you are wrong on count 1. :2cents:

And he is also trying to keep you and yours alive...
