Spain is very close to having this licked. No new deaths, and new cases have dropped to a trickle.
Italy still has some cases, but it's a small fraction of what it once was.
The USA is a disaster on top of a catastrophe on top of a dumpster fire.

Well some good news(or not good depending on your view). 20% of today's cases were migrant workers. What percentage of ontario population is migrant workers? They are probably statistically overrepresented by a few orders of magnitude.
I thought all LCBOs are still closed on Mondays, even after the (re)expanded hours.
And they are likely also being tested at a much higher rate than the general population, my guess.
I‘ll look...my wife said it was because of some incident.
That is also correct, if the incident is COVID-19....
They've been closed on Mondays for a while now.
I must have missed that. With the lockdown I haven’t really been paying attention to what day it is Lol.
Maclean's article on Canada's efforts and recovery. It's not very positive.

"Canada still uses fax machines in medical practice and to communicate critical epidemic data. Since COVID-19 began Montreal hired two dozen clerks to type in faxed case reports. The Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) too collects case reports from the provinces by fax, but stupidly asks for an “email notification” of the fax without attaching the reporting form."

dont worry, a lot of financial backoffices (think your investment broker sending orders to mutual fund companies) often use fax as well... its wonderful. we won't let go of the 90s that easilyMaclean's article on Canada's efforts and recovery. It's not very positive.

Do you have a source for the announcement, or haven't they annouced it yet, I didn't see anything on the Ont Gov newsroom about it.
They are planning the announcement for today I believe, so the formal notice won't go up until then.
Douggie said he was going for it in yesterdays press conference, but I think they need to sit the legislature and vote on it for it to happen. The premier is only able to unilaterally declare and maintain a state of emergency for a limited length of time (which has long passed).

They had some serious lockdown measures in place, similar to China, Glad it paid off for them. I've already seen my cousin posting pictures at the beach in Barcelona.
Poland is also opening up fairly quickly right now. Stores are open, weddings are back on, hotels are opening up. I'm still hoping that my flight is cancelled (currently international flights to Poland cancelled until June 19) so I can get my refund as I'm not interested in going there, spending time in quarantine for the trip, and coming home back to spend 14 days in quarantine again.
28 days to reflect and improve your life. Missed opportunity?
?
I've had 2 months of sitting at home...I'm good to return to some sort of normal!
you might prepare for another month if the get the numbers on a vote to shut down for till the end of june
Flying out for work in a few weeks. Got my ticket ready and all good to go. So I won't be in Ontario unless something major happens.
