Covid-19 is Going to Shake Up Everything

Unless the corrupt, paid off politicians get in the way, this enormous event in our lifetime is going to force MAJOR changes with where our products are made:

    “…it can be implemented today in the U.S., Europe and the rest of the world. Medical doctors may be reluctant to prescribe chloroquine to treat COVID-19 since it is not FDA approved for this use.”

  2. Canada will almost certainly lose its national retail chains: Canadian Tire, Princess Auto, Dollarama.

    Rather sad that those are the only three I can think of.

    1. We are told that elderly people who get really sick will either be taken off a ventilator or not even get one if a younger person needs it. These are life and death decisions that have been made by doctors in Italy.
      So are elderly Canadians going to be refused health care to treat non-citizens?
      The Nigerian who illegally entered a month ago gets health care over your mother, grandmother, father or uncle?

      Are Canadians going to sit on their hands while loved ones die because foreigners are taking their health care?

      1. Are Canadians going to sit on their hands while loved ones die because foreigners are taking their health care?

        Yes, they will. To deny illegal foreigners health care would be seen as racist and we can’t have that, now can we?

        1. “seen as racist and we can’t have that”
          It makes sense in Trudeau’s world where virtue signalling against racism has more value than any other consideration including the health and welfare of Canadians.

            It’s the only thing that matters to Prinz Dummkopf. After all, why all that caterwauling about “rathithm” when people suggested that travel to Canada should be restricted?

  3. It’s amazing that pretty much no one is discussing what the best course of action is here. Seriously they’re doing all these drastic things based on what? This is a serious virus and a lot of people will die that I know but are we sure the lockdown is the best thing to do? Are people aware that the plan is to lockdown until a vaccine is developed (over a year)?

      If you have a different solution, or a different course of action, kindly suggest it.

      Best I can figure, officials are trying to slow down the rate of infection so that we have hospital room to take care of the very sick.

  4. So many pencils to push, so many numbers to crunch, so many meetings (to miss) , I wonder how long the post industrial society can hold out.

  5. Time for an enterprising Albertan to start up a pharma company. Brett Wilson?

    Pro tip: get ottawa to pay for it.

  6. “…this enormous event in our lifetime is going to force MAJOR changes with where our products are made”

    If major changes hit this Country, it will be due to one thing only: because the US has initiated those changes. I sincerely doubt that there will be any useful response initiated from this side of the border. And I say this for a couple of reasons.

    First of all, our electorate has had two generations to prepare for the day when the huge baby-boomer generation would start putting strain on our health system, but has made no demands on its leaders to respond to that need. And to top off that Negligence File, over the last twenty years or so we have gone through, in no particular order, the following scares: SARS, swine flu, Nile virus, Ebola, avian flu…and I’m possibly missing a few. Yet despite these shrill and repeated warnings, we are not manufacturing any more pharmaceuticals on this continent than we were ten or fifteen years ago….and I’d be willing to bet it’s a good deal less. So it is unlikely that a generation which has ignored its own future for forty-odd years will finally wake up and make angry demands at this late point.

    The other reason is that self-sufficiency would simply not be in the best interests of the incestuous inner sanctum that infests the red carpets in Ottawa, Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver. In the pursuit of maximum profits, these bankers, industrialists, and politicians have spent their lives putting Canadians out of work by moving their investments off-shore. It is unthinkable that they would tolerate any changes to this status quo. And I don’t think they have much to be worried about – after all, they have the endless capacity of Canadians to be distracted and deceived working in their favour.

  7. 50 bucks to whoever can track down my earliest caution about dearing wir chirer esp the brand new definition of JUNK they have bestowed upon us.

    seriously, I saw this coming waaaaaaaaaay back in the cretien days.
    and the harping about trade ‘benefits’. same thing harper the harpooned whale told us.

    they all do it.

  8. An effective treatment for #Coronavirus #COVID-19 has been found in a common anti-malarial drug.

    a commonly available anti-malaria drug known as chloroquine aka chloroquine phosphate is showing strong results against COVID-19 infections in both China and South Korea. Excerpts from three studies, including one published in Nature are below.

    Wattsupwiththat

    1. I tried to post this message for an hour Tuesday night and a half hour this morning. The only way it would work was to take out the wattsupwiththat link. Go to the Web site to see the full story.
      Chloroquine helps prevent and treat COVID 19. Not a cure but a tool in the toolbox.

    2. Until they start passing out chloroquine to all and sundry, I’ll self-medicate with gin and tonic. Quinine was the common anti-malarial before chloroquine.

  9. Hunter Biden won’t get another billion dollars from China?

    How will he pay for his hookers and cocaine?

    It’s almost Chelsea Clinton’s turn to sellout Americans, how will she get by with only tens or hundreds of million$?

    Justin’s “Trudeau Foundation” investment is up 576% at last count, while investment in Canada has collapsed, if the Liberal Party isn’t selling out Canadians, then they got nothing, how will we keep rich people rich in this country?

    That has always been the highest priority of Canadian voters – keeping rich people rich, and no one cares how they do it, Canadians will pay any price, but we’re probably not a big enough market for China, so simply by default it will be difficult for the Liberal Party of Canada to sellout little Canadians.

    Justin will probably have to give China his pipeline, Chinese workers won’t stop for silly protesters, RCMP and their Chinese police assistants will make sure of that, but once they own it and the oil, then there’s no reason for them to keep our rich people rich. We’re screwed.

  10. I wonder if the environmentalists are talking about the shortage of breathing masks, garments, face shields and other disposable items that were supposed to be taken off the market because they found whales with bottle caps in their stomach. The best yet are people coming into the supermarket with their dirty cotton reusable shopping bags that, for all we know, may have been used to haul dead cats and rats to the dump. No wonder they have to sanitize the conveyors.

    As for shortages of bottled water, toilet paper, flour and other items, let’s not forget that our trains didn’t run for several weeks when the natives were blocking the tracks. That had a lot to do with it. Thanks Justin What would the world do without you??
