    Look deeper into the numbers guys. See how many health professionals have picked this up. Like 20 in Sask already. That should tell you something about the spread, its likely a very close sustained type contact type disease. Nurses and doctors with repeated visits to patients and then mingling with each other, single towns with nursing homes, places with a lot of mass transit and international airport hubs. China took people and quarantined them in high rise condos with family members who then got infected.

    You arent going to pick this up from a park or a handrail or as some people think, just breathing fresh air.

    Even on that Diamond Princess cruise ship, only 17% got infected and that's pretty close quarters sharing the same ventilation system.

        According to Dr Tam half the current cases are from community spread, ie handrails and parks.

            21 million cell phone users disappeared from service in China . Confirmed cases is the key thing there . China basically lies about everything.
            Look at how “pests” magically show up in canola shipments to China costing farmers here millions..... they are the worst manipulative country in earth.

              Feels good to dunk on them southern neighbors.

              Just for reference... They performed 100,528 tests in a 24hr period ending March 26 20:00Zulu. Canada has done a total of 163,908 as of yesterday. If we were punching 100K tests a day I think we'd find more than our fair share as well...

                who really knows how many cases China really has, unless you believe their numbers.

                  1 little math oversight, they have 10 times the population. So that would be 10,000 tests a day for Canada.

                  BC alone does 3500 per day.

                  Is it really that hard to accept that the US is in big trouble?

                      Celebrities, sports stars elites and politicians getting tested first .... the rest are peasants.
                      Just look at all the healthy celebrities that are claiming to have it .... but feel fine , how the phuck are they getting tested before they even shows signs ..... ask that question.
