I'm sure she can get back into Canada but there might be a lot of difficult questions especially coming from a state that has confirmed cases. She was smart to cancel.

Official Global Travel Advisory
Avoid non-essential travel outside of Canada until further notice.

To limit the spread of COVID-19, many countries have put in place travel or border restrictions and other measures such as movement restrictions and quarantines. Airlines have cancelled flights. New restrictions may be imposed with little warning. Your travel plans may be severely disrupted and you may be forced to remain outside of Canada longer than expected.

Some encouraging news.



General Chit Chat  - Page 78 Researchers
A team of researchers from Sunnybrook, McMaster University(opens in a new window) and the University of Toronto(opens in a new window) has isolated severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the agent responsible for the ongoing outbreak of COVID-19.

Thanks to nimble collaboration, the team was able to culture the virus from two clinical specimens in a Level 3 containment facility.

“We need key tools to develop solutions to this pandemic. While the immediate response is crucial, longer-term solutions come from essential research into this novel virus,” said Dr. Samira Mubareka, microbiologist and infectious diseases physician at Sunnybrook.

The isolated virus will help researchers in Canada and across the world develop better diagnostic testing, treatments and vaccines, and gain a better understanding of SARS-CoV-2 biology, evolution and clinical shedding....

Congratulations to the researchers from these three Canadian institutions: Dr. Samira Mubareka and Dr. Rob Kozak of Sunnybrook and University of Toronto; Dr. Arinjay Banerjee and Dr. Karen Mossman of McMaster University.

With gratitude to the CL3 team and Biosafety Officers.

The video I posted above stopped at March 10th. This is one from the BBC that is ongoing.

You have to scroll about half way down to see the changing graph. I wish they included all the countries that have reported the virus.

@Sprite it's unbelievable to see those numbers.

In many parts of Italy where the whole country is on lock down, they started playing music on their balconies. I've seen many tweets today but here are a couple.

@GuardianAngel, thank you for sharing those moments of spontaneous levity amid the overwhelm of these recent days. The human spirit truly is indestructible. At moments like these, I'm always in awe of the incredible acts of kindness, love, hope, and creativity that emerge.

Stay well, everyone PINKHEART PINKHEART PINKHEART

A few pick-me-ups hopefully  PINKHEART  PINKHEART  PINKHEART

For parents/caregivers or for anyone really who enjoys a good storytime: Josh Gad (aka Olaf from Frozen!) is hosting 10-minute children's book readings on his Twitter:


For anyone who loves opera or theater: The Met is streaming HD performances starting Monday.


For anyone who might need a soothing balm for the soul: Yo Yo Ma plays the violin:


ETA: Just a note that these pick-me-ups were intended to ease the anxiety that may come from the necessary social distancing occurring, if our circumstances permit, for the good of each other. Stay well PINKHEART

@veg_out great posts!

The following is not positive in any way but it's the reality of the world we live in. It is believed Italy finds itself in the situation they are in because originally when the outbreak started in the North, people wanted to go South to family, students in the North wanting to get home etc. This is now where they are at. So sad for Italy and the rest of the world. Every single person on earth needs to do their part and stop being so irresponsible shaking hands travelling returning from other hot spot countries and not self isolating.

The toilet paper crisis continues, although I have no idea why. It should be hand soap that is being hoarded.

And, then we have BN people out partying it up in a very crowded bar in very close proximity to other people and when asked about it respond with "I don't have any symptoms so it's fine" (paraphrased). deadhorse

You want to celebrate St Pat's Day with friends, fine. Do it at someone's home. And, this same person is whining about a possible trip overseas being canceled.

On a personal note, I have a friend that did not cancel her trip to Australia. When I saw that she was on her flight there, I was shocked. She's no dummy and usually has common sense. She left Ohio on Thursday. deadhorse which was after the restrictions about travel to Europe (yeah, I know Australia isn't Europe but...) And, now I hear Australia is starting to put travel restrictions in place. Not sure how they will affect visitors from other countries, but I guess if she does get to come home when scheduled, she will be in quarantine when she gets home.

sigh....
