None of this means anything.
If you don't know how many people are tested/a-symptomatic in relation to the population this data is completely useless.

Too early to reopen but we most likely will anyways cause rich people starting to lose money now lol
Hopefully they'll be the ones that will catch covid next.

This will be interesting to see how Sweden does.
Actually it would - I didn't think that their capital (Stockholm) would be more urbanly dense compared to Toronto.
https://versus.com/en/stockholm-vs-toronto
The scale is relatively on par so yes if it works for them, maybe there's hope for us.
HOWEVER, this also assumes our citizens follow the same discipline, which to 355-Si's point - we don't.

Was walking around my area today and noticed the 24/7 gym was closed, just like my gym down the street...but it looked odd. Walked up to the glass and there was the typical "closed due to covid 19" note, but everything had been ripped out, all equipment gone, reception gone, signs gone, just an empty space.
I know as a commercial landlord, you can take over a place in default of rent payment after 15 days and sell assets to recover rent in arrears. What I suspect happened here was these emptied the whole thing and stopped paying rent to basically hold the landlord hostage so that he can't make a legal claim for the money they would owe during covid as accrued debt, essentially forcing to forgive it or they most likely went bankrupt and tried to liquidate as much shit as possible before the banks come after them.
Just a tiny example of how we are about to see a lot of empty store fronts.

That's going to suck. I could see the government having to give grants for small businesses to start up.
There has to be a happy medium between landlord and tenants so they don't get evicted.

Who's been cutting onions up in here .... 
Fucking Mon Sheong long-term-care downtown is so fucked, it's got 50 positive, 26 of them dead.
I contemplated what would happen if my parents were in an old age home at this time, and whether I'd have the ability to pull them out of an old age home, take the 14-day isolation hit with the entire family, etc. etc. etc...
Easy to say, very difficult to do.

Wow how come this didn’t make the headlines? Long-term care is fucked and the province/gov really dropped the ball hard on this. Feel so bad for all the families going through this. Lots of heads will be rolling post covid.

This is hitting the Canadian airwaves, cuz someone in Alberta said it's possible.
https://nationalpost.com/health/covid-19...-on-an-hvac-fix
COVID-19 can be spread by building ventilation, argue Canadian researchers working on an HVAC fix
A group of Alberta researchers are working on ways that buildings could change their HVAC set-ups to curb the risk of infection
We gotta think twice before opening up restaurants again. This is how one person infected 9 people at a restaurant in Guangzhou China. The person A1 traveled from Wuhan and was the only one who had Corona at the time. It is believed that air conditioning was the reason how virus circulated.  https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/26/7/20-0764_article

Funny to watch health Canada get called out just now.
They got asked why their long term death predictions aren't higher if the short term predictions went up. They looked like they were caught off guard and said they Could change the number but that is what they are using for planning purposes.
Sounds to me they fudging numbers to get the economy to open back up as quick as possible.

Who was it here on CSI:On that said they have a UV light thingie in their furnace? I thought about it before COVID, but ... never got around to it. We had duct cleaners come by in ... Jan-Feb to clean the ducts, we were noticing a weird film on anything plastic (thought it was the humidifiers), and the spiders all over the place is fuuuuucked. We're using MERV8 4"-thick no-name filters from Amazon though...  Good luck on the HVAC fix
UV-C if anything...
small air purifiers like germ guardian have UV-C built in

Yes because the general public is legit stupid AF. Maybe it's my tin foil hat talking but I likely won't be going to many public places even after the lock down is lifted. I'm enjoying grocery delivery/curbside pick up. I'll likely never set foot in a grocery store again. Not because of covid but I like the convenience of it.
