It doesn't look like that is verified yet

Yes, it is.

Then how come no Canadian sources have published that?

There are hundreds of sources. In French at least.

I see some in English as well.

At this point the only official ones are american (washington post, boston globe and ny times are all that come up for 'positive' test result)

That's because you're not in Canada.

Countries that recovered and down to 0 case should now ban countries that have Covid coming in to their border, otherwise this will start all over again. Singapore said they are able to control it but they still have cases and is coming from outside the country. Countries should share procedures that worked for them so the other countries can follow procedures that work.

We know what to do. We taught some of these countries. We just don't have leadership and we aren't doing it.

Call them first, for two reasons — to see if they have the test, and if you do have symptoms, they will need to prepare for your arrival with protective gear for them and a face mask for you. They won’t want you sitting in their waiting room for any length of time.

I mean, sure. But the data isn’t made up. And the analysis is logical.

A ray of hope for the US, our high number of critical care beds.

Lol, I wish.

That’s not even close to remotely accurate.

That’s a different metric. Your numbers show hospital beds per thousand. The chart shows critical care beds (which is what matters most now) per 100,000. I’ve seen the same numbers cited by multiple sources.

Is anyone else mad at China? All this death and suffering because of unsanitary markets that should have been shut down after SARS. Plus initial government dishonesty.

Just seems so unnecessary .

I am.

Omg me too. F^ck China and their dirty meat markets.

Yeah DH and I were just talking about this. I’m not upset with the Chinese people. If anything, I feel bad for them. I’m so angry at the awful Chinese government. They knew these markets were a breeding ground for new viruses and did nothing to regulate or shut them down even though we’ve had close calls before. And they weren’t immediately honest with the rest of the world causing us to lose precious time preparing elsewhere. Once this is all over, I hope the rest of the world demands they become a better global citizen, and frankly we need to stop relying on them for the import of so many goods. Sure, we’ve gotten a lot of things for cheap, but it comes at the expense of a vulnerable supply chain for important things like medicines.

TRUE!

I can’t believe the U.K. still has normal international travel, isn’t banning large gatherings, and has stopped testing unless you are severely ill in the hospital. WTH!!!

NO

Just take ONE week, one weekend, this one, to wait and see how things go over the next several days. By Monday evening we should have a clearer picture of where this is going.

My pediatrician also said stop everything for a week. Not sure why one week but that’s what he said and that’s what we are doing.
