as of today, why Quebec(2840) has more cases than Ontario(1355) and BC(884)? Is quebec testing more?
At the moment they are, it was said by Legault.
From my understanding right now we still get test result from peoples who got infected 1 week + ago, some travelers who are still coming back, and so on. My hopes are that by mid-April the "curve" has really flattened because why would peoples still get infected with the world on shutdown?
That being said tough peoples like my neighbors still keep receiving friends at his app, so i supose he ain't the only one doing it... probably a lot of tick headed peoples who don't follow the "orders"
What's concerning is that we are not doing a great job flattening the curve, meaning a lot more immune systems are being tested than we would like to see and many cannot handle the infection without treatment. The hospitals could overflow to the point where people will be dying while waiting to get treated.
From what i understand its the problem in Italy and New York even at the moment. A lot of peoples COULD survive but die because decisions are made to heal other patients who are younger, have better chances to live etc. The system is overload and can't process everybody. Wich at the moment is alright in Quebec because they could threat 6000 patients i think, but only 200 less are in hospital.
As i said above, the full lockdown didn't started until what, a week ago, not even? Yes some stuff closed on March 16 but not a lot. So it may take another 2 weeks from today to fully feel the curve flattening.
As for border, im not an expert so i can't know exactly how many products come from the E-U but my understanding is the products themselves are not at risk, only the delivery person who does it, so if he is carefull and follow protocol, it should be fine. I mean yes i eat an orange everyday at breakfast and yes i could live without it for a few months, but it may be a lot more than just a couple things like that.
Anyway, i think we can sustain 2 months of "crap" without issues. Too bad for all the cool stuff we gonna miss but there is always next year. I mean a whole baseball season was thrown away cause of a mid season lockout, so sports will survive, it may just not have a stanley cup or world series winner in 2020... Yes the economy is hit but hopefully it will recover.
But by those 2 months, lets say end of May, im expecting Quebec to be ready to "re-open" at least locally. Im not saying re-open the borders or travels, but local businesses etc and lockdown being done. Cause peoples won't tolerate this for longer im sure. If in 2 months its still a big issue (lots of new cases still) they will think lockdown is just not working and is a waste of time, and they will go with the whole "develop imunity in society" options instead. Hopefully if China could recover, even as badly hit as they were, we can do, USA can too...
