International Coronavirus Breaking News, v13: Over 21,000 Healthcare Workers From Around The U.S Heading To N.Y

Everything about these people just irritates me. For example, why did she have to say, "a co-worker has tested positive for Covid-19, the novel Coronavirus." It goes right through my soul, shit like that. Is there anyone on planet Earth that doesn't know what Covid-19 is, so she felt she had to clarify and say Coronavirus, but not just Coronavirus because that might confuse a motherfucker which one, so she had to add "novel" as well.

Sorry, OCD or something, I can't stand shit like that.

Lol. Imagine confusing your coronaviruses now. If I catch a common cold, I am totally going to call in to work and tell them I have a coronavirus and watch the panic in my company ensue.

The car dealership across the street from me is open today. A GODDAMN CAR DEALERSHIP! Wtf are these people thinking?

The streets look like a Sunday or a holiday out there. Not busy as normal, but once again it strikes me that a far too high % of people in Toronto are not taking this serious.

Most people can't afford to miss a couple paychecks, and this applies to businesses as well. I don't blame anyone for trying to get paid while we still can.

Could have just said: coworker of ours that lives in a metropolis and works in an office building full our hundreds of people caught a highly contagious disease.

Very interesting video

Back to saying ibprofin is bad and ppl refuted me

I guess we'll all just do whatever we want anyway

I encourage those who are interested in the subject to watch this video

Thanks Sir @Clippy

It would be great if the dorks screaming DEBUNKED every time some new info comes up could chill a bit with the assertions

There are still so many unknowns

That would be a godsend in the event I am laid off. The wife and I could live frugally on $2k/month

That would end up being more than Bernie's student loan forgiveness program though, and didn't everyone say that was impossible?

 

[PolishHeadlock2]

That would definitely help

Direct cash payments is the best course of action right now imo. It addresses the most issues with demand, hourly workers etc....

You mean Trillions for the banks?

But yes, agreed. Temporary UBI is needed for anyone with assets below a certain number.

That's alright, the important thing is that our governments start listening to them.

Like when they told us not to ban travel to China?

To be fair, there was a conflicting source that was posted against that. It's not like it was pulled out of thin air. May have been premature to say debunked, as you stated.

 

[Sir Punchalot]

Like when they told us not to ban travel to China?

No, like now when they're telling us to step up our game and follow a clearly laid out, systematic approach to beating this thing - the same thing they've been doing in South Korea. It works, and it sure is a damn shame it's not being implemented more widely.

B.C. union calls for suspension of mortgage and rent payments until COVID-19 crisis ends
Jen St. Denis



VANCOUVER -- A B.C. union is calling for the immediate suspension of mortgage and rent payments until the COVID-19 pandemic is over.

Stephanie Smith, president of the BC Government Employees' Union, said the demand is part of the union's mission to protect workers during the crisis.

"The BCGEU is urging our members and all working people to trust the science and follow public health recommendations," said Smith in a statement issued on Friday. "The federal and provincial governments could support our message by suspending mortgage and rent payments during the COVID-19 pandemic to make sure working people can afford to do the right thing."

The CEO of Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, Evan Siddall, said in tweet that his agency will support lenders in allowing deferral of mortgage payments for up to six months for those affected by the coronavirus.

The first thing we do is help Canadians. As we have done before, @CMHC_ca will support lenders in allowing deferral of mortgage payments for up to six months for those impacted by #coronavirus #COVID2019 . https://twitter.com/CMHC_ca/status/1238829759834066944 …

Nobody should have to worry about their #mortgage because of impacts of #COVID-19. We’re working with lenders to help, increasing our flexibilities to allow payment deferral of up to 6 months starting now. Read more: http://ow.ly/1zr350yLL8B

The agency will use an existing program to help homeowners who are struggling to make their mortgage payments.

But, Siddall said in a follow-up message to CTV News Vancouver, CMHC doesn't currently have "an easy way to get support to renters quickly." He added that CMHC is working with other government agencies on emergency income support measures, like employment insurance, that could help.

In Vancouver and some other Metro Vancouver municipalities, renters can get emergency help from a rent bank, a source of short-term funding for renters who risk being evicted.

Many businesses have closed, B.C.'s tourism industry is taking a huge financial hit, and many events have been cancelled in an attempt to limit the spread of the novel coronavirus.

The BCGEU wants the federal and provincial governments to put a plan in place now to anticipate further measures that could impact workers' ability to earn wages.

"We all have a part to play in flattening the curve– workers, employers and governments," said Smith. "Our federal and provincial governments have an opportunity right now to mitigate one of the major economic pressures that force people to choose to keep working even if they have been exposed to COVID-19 or are symptomatic."

On Friday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced that a "significant" financial stimulus will be coming, in addition to the $1 billion already announced. The federal government has also waived the waiting period for employment insurance assistance for workers who are in quarantine.

These kind of decisions are going to have to be made if the world is going on lockdown. Damned if you do or damned if you don't scenario. This could cause a huge economic calamity but so could millions of people losing their job or homes because of businesses shutting down and also having no way other than quitting their jobs to look after their children. We'll see how things go in these uncharted waters.

• Britain’s prime minister, Boris Johnson, was preparing to appear at the first of a series of daily news conferences where he was expected to outline the next steps in the UK’s plan to fight the outbreak
Ahead of the briefing, UK Transport Secretary Grant Shapps rejected criticism the government is being too slow to introduce measures limiting the spread of coronavirus, saying ministers are rigorously following scientific advice rather than “doing things that just sound good”
Britain’s armed forces are meanwhile preparing to send thousands of military medics to assist in NHS hospitals in the coming weeks as part of Operation Broadshare – the Ministry of Defence’s response to the coronavirus outbreak.

Thank you. I wouldn't make that up and I know for a fact my friends friend does work at the Pentagon. Im ready to get it over with.

I have also heard it was bullshit from a few places so not sure what to believe. I can't imagine that they would *not* deny even if it was true. I'm prepared either way.
