I wonder if counties will require foreign tourists to show proof of travel medical insurance before entry would be permitted at airports and border crossings. Premiums would become more affordable as the pool of insureds expand, assuming the spread of Covid 19 can be "controlled" by government...

I thought Montreal instituted weeks ago what London (England) will begin doing Monday (20 April 2020) -- disallowing passengers from boarding buses in the front. AFP/ga reported: "LONDON: London's transport authorities on Friday (Apr 18) announced new measures to protect bus drivers from...

I too agree with that sentiment. For the foreseeable future, Canada is likely to maintain a two-weeks (3 weeks might be more preferable) self-isolation requirement on anyone entering or returning from abroad.

"Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says Canada and the United States have struck a deal to extend current border restrictions between the two countries by an additional 30 days. "This is an important decision and one that will keep people on both sides of the border safe," Trudeau said at the top...

I agree. Iceland's population is a fraction of Singapore's, which went into a more stringent lock down to contain a second wave. I think Germany could serve as a good example for Canada and the US. South Korea has a couple of companies that have scaled up and are making diagnostic test kits...

Why. You are one of them, of course. :high5: I'll defer to the Mods to nominate who they believe would be able to provide constructive inputs in this process.

I'd say create an "interactive" template (something like if A and B but not C then jump to G or H) with input from SP's and agencies and a dozen or so "reliable" hobbyists. (Continue to refine the template or have multiple templates.) And provide room for individual comments, put to 200 words...

IMHO, the responsible thing to do for federal, state, provincial, and local government leaders in the US, Canada, and elsewhere, is to start planning exit strategies to reopen society and businesses. While I believed predictions of unimaginable deaths (millions) and spread of the Sars-CoV-2 to...

I was thinking the same; it seems Trump 2020 Reelection Team has begun running the White House. I'm torn. Intellectually, I appreciate what the scientists and medical professionals are saying, but emotionally, I'm pissed off and want my local small businesses, including restaurants and gyms...

It seems the virus went to Europe, particularly Italy, from China, and many New Yorkers traveled to Europe and brought the virus to NYC and the rest of America. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/08/science/new-york-coronavirus-cases-europe-genomes.html?referringSource=articleShare "New research...

^^^^ I wish Boris Johnson a speedy recovery. Perhaps Dr. Donald J. Trump, M.D. would reach out to his beautiful friend Boris Johnson and recommend that he starts taking hydroxychloroquine.

Somebody must have reminded trump about how Canada and the US have become so interconnected in many facets. Most printing papers I have bought at Staples and Office Depot in America are made in Canada. Lots of goods I have bought at my local Costco stores in the States were made in Quebec...

Yep. I wish him well. Covid 19 is really testing the EU experiment. Brexit may prove to have been important in saving Briton's NHS. Regardless of what one thinks about Boris, I would gladly grab a pint with him over fish and chips in a London pub. I used to be a news junkie, now I'm back to my...

:yield::Cry: We are likely to be fucked again for another 4 years by trump. :Cry: I'm hoping we can all return to normalcy before the end of the 2020, but it's scary that Singapore, facing the "second wave", has ordered a country-wide lockdown for 30 days. Hopefully, we won't need to wear a...

I figure that Boris Johnson's condition got worse since he's been absent during the daily briefing by the UK government. His 32 year old girlfriend, who is pregnant with their child, has also tested positive for Covid19. What fake news. It's certainly is not anymore. Today, NYT is reporting...

Exactly, Jalimon. Here's another huge bitter irony for the US: USA Today is reporting today: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/investigations/2020/04/02/us-exports-masks-ppe-china-surged-early-phase-coronavirus/5109747002/ "American companies sold more than $17.5 million worth of face...

Agreed. What I find very disturbing and irresponsible is parents still putting their kids in shopping carts! Stop!!!
