Nah... Nickelback still hasn't got the message.

Ever worked retail? Ever wonder why Costco doesn't put up isle signs and you find Kids toys next to the Lobster rolls in the milk section? Impulse buys. The store set those people up for failure. It's an impulse grab when it's right fucking there. The store is as much to blame as the people.

Yeah, the store promotes impulse buying. The store does NOT promote choke slamming some middle aged woman of slight build because she’s six inches closer to that roll of toilet paper that you’ve got your eye on.*

*This incident happened back when I was at a department manager at a Walmart super center. The item in question was actually a razor scooter, as it was the Black Friday Blitz sale, instead of toilet paper. My brother and I have stories for days about what kind of vicious, dickish lemmings the customers can be.

Some good advice here. Acetaminophen or Tylenol only.

I'm gonna guess that your Single-payer system is better than Italy's...

We, or Canada need to close the borders for 30 days.

I think the median age of the country in question has an impact too since it seems to be hitting you harder the older you get.

Italy is ranked 5th.
Canada is ranked 29th.
USA is ranked 61st.

We have a similar universal system here, it’s not the beginning of Communism.

It's the first thing the PRC commies did to make us communist, even before the PRC existed the crafty bastards!

Yup. It's not healthcare you have to worry about, it's fucks like this...

Here's some data to put things in perspective and it's the same problem Italy had. Not enough bed's and not enough ventilators.

There are @ 3170 ICU beds in Canada. That’s it for all critical care. ICUs in Canada already run at 100% capacity so there’s no room for a surge in demand. At least 10% of people who get COVID-19 require hospitalization. At least 5% of people who get COVID-19 will require mechanical ventilation.

Consider for a moment that there are 37,000,000 people in Canada. Experts estimate that 30%-70% of the Canadian population will get this virus because nobody is immune. Even if you assume 30% that means 11,000,000 infected and ultimately 555,000 requiring ventilation!! Recovery takes weeks. We don’t have anywhere near the capacity to deal with these demands.

Not only will we not have ICU beds and ventilators for COVID patients (not by a long shot). We won’t have health care resources for anyone else (heart attacks, strokes, trauma, any need for surgery).

To everyone hoarding toilet paper: you're fucking morons. You're the reason the planet deserves The Comet. If there is a higher power I'm sure he/she/it is wondering where in the fuck he/she/it went wrong. You fucking donkeys, you and the media...may Nickelback play at your funerals and may the Pakistanis dig your holes.

You're trash human beings. I hope you fall into the 2-3% mortality zone which will make the world a better place. Better yet, everyone who considers themselves a "journalist" should take a dirt nap. This is their creation, they should reap the bumper crop...

The virus isn't the problem, it is humanity, the goddamned idiots occupying this rock. They're the reason I like individuals but hate people.

I have worked my entire life to get into a place where I can work a good job with a good schedule so I can spend time with my family.

Yesterday I get a page in a text from leadership, they want all hands on deck today, Sunday, to be at the hospital to train up all the units on the various levels of PPE. On the one hand, yes, it's an emergency, and all. On the other hand, we have been doing train the trainer sessions last week and there enough people at the hospital to turn around and train their staff.

People are going fucking full-retard.

People going to see Jesus soon, well they’re going to church and gon’ catch this ‘ronavirus. So yeah. There’s a good chance it’ll spread like wildfire through churches today.
