In Montreal, we have been growing in cases by approximately 300-500 a day and this is after social distancing. 1 minute ago, Deranged Rhino said: Congrats, Meazza!

Deranged Rhino Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 OF COURSE the Langley plant is the one pushing this garbage... This is NOT 9/11 -- or won't be if we aren't (again) duped into surrendering FUNDAMENTAL civil liberties and freedoms in exchange for "security" which the government cannot possibly give us. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canada (as a country) did not shutdown early, although Ottawa did after Trump closed flights off from Europe on the 12th. My son flew in Pearson on the 13th, I flew into EWR on the 14th... the experiences were night and day on how much more seriously US took it than Canada at that point (I have a post in this thread about the experience). I flew into Pearson the beginning of February, and updated this post with what was going on with all the borders I crossed between January and March.

At the federal level, it wasn't taken seriously but at the provincial level, it was. Personally, I've been taking this seriously since the 1st week of March literally washing my hands everytime I came into contact with something or someone and avoiding people who were sick. That being said, the data is generally a two week lag so if this is the worst in Quebec, we'll be back to work by May 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxx Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 (edited) oh boy... one step closer to UBI. you just know the other Dem states are going to follow suit. Gov. Whitmer expands unemployment benefits to self-employed, independent contractors and more LANSING, Mich. (WXYZ) — Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer announced new programs for workers affected by the COVID-19 outbreak. Under the federal CARES Act, Whitmer signed an agreement to implement Pandemic Unemployment Assistance and Compensation programs that give benefits to those who don't qualify for state unemployment benefits. Those include self-employed, 1099-independent contractors, gig and low-wage workers. The agreement also increases weekly benefits for all unemployed workers by $600 a week for up to six months and extends benefit payments from 26 to 39 weeks. ...

Michigan is going to up the unemployment benefits by $600 for up to 6 months? What pot of money are they tapping into to cover that? The "Final-Final" version of the CARES Act said the $600 adder will be covered through July (4 months tops). Unless there were additional changes between that and what 45 signed, really doubt Michigan has the budget room to cover that for 2 extra months.

We (in Quebec) are also testing at a higher per capita base than anyone in North America (according to the Premier). Whatever the stats show, we will be eventually told to go back to work with the strong anti germ measures that you see in places like Japan.

Eliminate the handshakes and group hugs, and you're half way there. Note the cultures that aren't huggy feely are doing better. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
