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)

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.

H.. Yah to all who said school closing no difference, the will go to the zoo..
Good, I'm glad they closed (I saw earlier that they wasn't any plans to close them). Hunker down at home, people. If you have a yard, use that for fresh air and if you don't, take a walk in the neighborhood, but by all means, do not go where you'll be circulating with dozens and dozens of people or using facilities where dozens and dozens of people have been passing through. I've been super strict about my ES child's hand washing over the last few days, and he still got a sore throat today, so hand sanitizing and hand washing isn't foolproof and the more you go out and about, the more you're increasing your chances.


We've all got sore throats here from the pollen. And all of our knuckles are cracking from the hand washing.

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.


We were just debating the same thing ... we have five social things planned in the next four days, including two parties. Canceling four of them and doing one (with just one friend, at our house.)
