Yes, those idiots. Do you like that show? I just don't get it. If they would at least show reruns of Kids in the Hall and SCTV I wouldn't mind so much. That channel is so Canadian, by which I mean halfassed, amateurish and lame, it almost makes me want them to repeal the cultural protection laws. Or I could get a VPN, I suppose.

The Bush level "Victory!" over the virus coming out of China can't be trusted while many Chinese are complaining online that they have symptoms and are being refused testing. This is legit concerning. That being said, the ones with means to fly to Canuckistan are less likely to be carriers who were refused testing and if they self quarantine upon arrival in the land of maple, it's not likely to cause a second wave. I agree with you, the large gathering in this time of lockdown is some darwin award level shit. The parks near me were packed with families and kids today....because papa is working from home. I think the only thing that will help here is closing the parks and possible extremely limiting public transportation.

Good to see you're both keeping on. Hunker down now. I have a bad feeling the #Hanam-idiots might well have revitalised what might well have been simply a quietly lethal dormancy. Hopefully I will be as wrong as I usually am on that as well.

- The exact origin of COVID-19 is still unknown, though it may have jumped from pangolins to humans
- An international team of researchers analyzed the genetic material of the virus
- They found evidence that it may have jumped to humans many times over the course of years or even decades
- COVID-19 may have mutated in 'clusters' of humans in 2019, developing the spike protein that has turned it deadly to more than 36,000 people so far
An international team of scientists traced the evolution of the virus and proposed two possible origin stories for it.
One was that it might have developed the spike proteins that enable it to latch onto human lung cells while circulating among animals.
But their second theory suggests that humans have long been walking around with a relatively harmless version of the virus, which finally mutated and became dangerous while living in us.
Whichever the case may be, the study's findings leave little room for the possibility that theories suggesting the virus was made in a lab are true, wrote the director of the US National Institutes of Health (NIH), who was uninvolved in the research.

I hope you've being watching Japanese TV today, especially NHK..... Chernobyl.
What the 7 O' Clock NHK news is telling us, is that if you get Covid 19, you're on your own because the Japanese medical system does not have the personnel or equipment to cope. We, the Kamikaze conscripts, first for the Olympics and now for Abenomics, are just meant to gambaru.
Next prediction, Abe is hospitalized for his IBS....just like 2007.
The central government is considering boosting stockpiles of the antiviral drug Avigan to three times the current amount, sources with knowledge of the matter said Saturday.
The drug, developed by a subsidiary of Fujifilm Holdings Corp., is used to treat influenza. But it is also believed to be effective in treating the pneumonia caused by the virus.
Since the drug may cause birth defects, it cannot be used on expectant mothers or women who might get pregnant. Therefore, the drug has never been sold on the market and the stockpile has been maintained by the government as a precaution against an influenza outbreak.
Fujifilm Toyama Chemical Co. began clinical tests Tuesday to evaluate the efficacy of the drug, also known as Favipiravir, on COVID-19 patients. If it proves effective, the government might approve the drug for use as a treatment this summer.
The current stockpile of Avigan is enough to treat 700,000 people if used as an anti-coronavirus drug, and 2 million people as an anti-flu drug.
Fujifilm Holdings has been asked by the government to increase the output of the drug. Since it has been increasingly sought by foreign governments as the pandemic spreads globally. The company is also considering outsourcing production, the sources said.

Yep, leadership at its best.
At least in the Netherlands they give the people below 70 a chance. Everybody of 70 and above will not be treated in Intensive Care, because outcomes are so bad.
