Put the graphic on the back and I would buy it.
I should add: Everything needs to stop except what is absolutely necessary to sustain people at home for 30 days. For those essential workplaces, shelter-in-place may need to be at work. Financial markets have to close. Banks have to close. All bills and payments have to be deferred. No public transit. No air travel. No trains. Everyone stays put and interacts with only the people that they directly deal with normally (e.g. family). No one comes in contact with strangers.

Banks are an essential service, they are not allowed to close. From what I can see they are doing their part, reduced hours and only keeping selected branches open, providing ATM, online and telephone banking. Plus the assistance they are providing to people who cannot meet their credit obligations.
Medical services, police and defense, food and fuel supply cannot be cut off either.
Are those businesses putting staff at risk? Yes, but also respect the commitment and sacrifice those working folks are making -- they are doing their part under extremely difficult conditions.

Yes I know where, I stopped there on the way back Moonbeam last year, saw the polar bear at the toursit centre
On the same trip, met a lady in North Bay who showed me photos of snow in May...
All nice country up that way, but yikkies!
As expected, boeing is screwed. They asked Trumpy for $60,000,000,000 to maintain liquidity. Yes, 60 billion dollars for a company that paid their crooked CEO ~20 million last year. Crashing harder than the Max8.
Market currently gives them a 30% chance of failing in the next five years and that is climbing fast. Crash families calling for strings attached to bailout that require Boeing to give up the right to certify their own planes. Knowing what we know about the design and assembly of their planes, they may never make an aircraft that could be certified by an external agency.

I suppose the odds of me finding work right now are non existent, rip
I am with him and ackman. A full 14 to 30 day shutdown is infinitely less painful than a barely functioning economy for 12+ months. Remember, we are flattening the curve here, not shrinking it.
Rough calcs
Our health care capacity is very optimistically 2000 people on ventilators. ~15% of the infected need hospitalization. Prediction is 30 to 70% of the population catches this. Population of canada is ~38,000,000. That means 1.7 to 4 million people in the hospital. Assume a week on the ventilator per patient. The math collapses into absurdity at that point. Many years of health care at full capacity (saved by the vaccine at that point)
Thanks for the summary. Does that mean #10 that people can claim they’re caring for someone and still take a cheque? Especially with no medical documentation needed?Complete details of federal cash infusion. Link is official source, text is a summary stolen from a facebook post.
