Our cases in Kingston went from 3 to 8 in a few days. One of our hockey arenas has been converted to a testing centre.

Some people are calling for student residences to be used as emergency housing for those that can’t pay rent. However, there’s no reports of people being evicted so this just smells like activist opportunism right now.

Residences are an interesting situation. They will be a breeding ground if it gets in. Probably a ton of non-compliance in them. First thought would be send them home where possible as the campus adds little value right now. But maybe they are already infected and now we scattered thousands more cases (and sent them home to live with older people). No good answers

They want to keep sickness away from science. Dealing with a swab is a lot safer than a coughing bag of meat.

That's all they need! That was my whole point!
send me a petrie dish for me and my dog to hork in and I can mail it to them via government post for testing

Why would you not use laboratories for your testing centres? That's where all the equipment and facilities already exist.
Do you know what Tunney's Pasture is?

labs are just analysis facilities, there’s no wide open spaces for patients to be separated from one another. The arena ensures that people are a few metres from one another. It’s a smart choice. Large parking area, multiple entrances/exits, large floor area.

Correct but you said "One of our hockey arenas has been converted to a testing centre" <- Testing is done in an analysis facility not an emergency shelter.
... you go to an emergency shelter because you or somebody on your street was an idiot and backed up the toilets during a pandemic.

it’s being done on site (collection) so large groups of people can still be relatively separated

What is it? take a throat swab? A throat swab is not a medical procedure an idiot can do it.

I think the procedure is a swab right up deep inside your nasal cavity which is apparently quite painful. Don’t know about you but I’d prefer a professional to do that.
 
Hyper-ventilate for a while, work up a nice load of snot and hork it into the little sterile container, seal it up and disinfect everything on the outside, package as biohazard d material and deliver :| If you are an idiot and can't give them a good toxic sample you deserve to ....

You want a health care professional to subject themselves and their family's personal health to doing that many gross tests on that many gross people :/ that's too sick to even contemplate imo.

I don't know if your mail idea would work. A lot depends how long after the collection you have to get the test started. As for the snot, most people do not have snot filling deep into their nasal cavity. Testing negative when you are actually positive is about the most damaging possible result.

it’s their job....do you want a bus driver doing it?

Health care professionals know the risks and are better able to mitigate them. Are you just arguing for arguments sake now because this one isn’t very persuasive.

No I'm speaking as a person who retired from health care, working with hundreds of home care nurses. If I was still working right now I would be required to shave my beard off so I could gown up, and I would tell them to ...
 
Also to be technical....you get symptoms for this without

Are you a Canadian citizen? You live by the laws and needs of your country.
Right now your country needs you to not get sick!
Don't create a good environment for the thing to spread and multiply.
Get a little bit of it as you probably have already and beat it, don't be exposed to a whole lot of it like that poor over-worked doctor that died from it.

Pffft. I’ve had an EN&T shove a camera up my nose. Can’t be that bad.
