Wow, SO much happening in last 24-36 hours. Known and unknown route of infection cases climbing dramatically - please SIP if you possibly can! If you haven't yet decided if this is a 'for real' threat, or you do believe it but have family/loved ones who are saying 'no', read Alberts post at https://www.avianflutalk.com/the-sober-math-everyone-must-understand-about-the_topic42012.html It is just about the best explanation of what is heading for us in layman's terms I've seen anywhere. Perhaps it will help you/your loved ones decide to take the step of 'just staying home'. So back to the news - sorry some of these are late, had a heck of long day on farm yesterday and just didn't have enough gas left in tank to search/paste all... New this am: ON declares state of emergency https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/canada/ontario-declares-state-of-emergency/ar-BB11j3SU?ocid=spartandhp Calgary, AB: declared local state of emergency yesterday https://ca.news.yahoo.com/city-calgary-declares-state-local-025023969.html So does the Siksika First Nations https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/siksika-emergency-covid-1.5499959 Alberta (yest) cases jumped to 74 with positive tests in ALL health zones (I'm guessing a 100+ cases by days end - not sure how many it will take before a Province wide state of Emerg is enacted) https://globalnews.ca/news/6686077/alberta-hinshaw-coronavirus-response-covid19-march-16/ This is a 'Canada wide' update that shows the announcement of border closures, airline restrictions etc. More details will follow... https://globalnews.ca/news/6666897/latest-updates-coronavirus-pandemic/ 3 more deaths from care home in BC - so we are doing better then a lot of countries death wise (so far) at 4, all from the one care home. My deepest sympathies to these individuals families and loved ones if you happen to see this post. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/british-columbia/article-british-columbia-reports-three-more-deaths-from-covid-19/ Nova Scotia: https://globalnews.ca/video/6684766/coronavirus-outbreak-two-new-covid-19-cases-announced-in-nova-scotia/ New Brunswick: https://globalnews.ca/news/6683869/covid-19-nb-update-monday/ SK closes schools: https://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2020/03/16/saskatchewan-to-close-schools-to-help-contain-spread-of-coronavirus.html MB: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/manitoba-covid-19-coronavirus-update-1.5498959 As far as I can find - territories other provinces clear if you find something otherwise - please share it! |
