CitizenVectron Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Also to be clear, Romney is only calling for a one-time cash payment as a stimulus, not $1,000 per month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AbsolutSurgen Posted March 16, 2020 Author Share Posted March 16, 2020 I went to Costco to pick up some soy milk today. There are police parked outside it permanently (just in case), the workers tell me they have been there since Friday. They are wiping down the handle of the carts with disinfecting wipes at the entrance (strangely enough they are not brining in carts, so you've already pushed it in from the parking lot) -- so I don't quite get the point. The place was packed, yet deathly quiet. They were completely sold out of non-spaghetti pasta, canned vegetables, non-carbonated water and toilet paper. The current group of shoppers seemed to all be buying paper towels and laundry detergent. There was one dude who was buying Perrier, about 80 litres of milk, 10 litres of half-and-half cream and a couple of large gasoline jerry cans. (I thought this was a particularly odd combination.)

chakoo Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 My wife's work (TD) just now finally today told their employees that they must WFH for the next 3 weeks. Yesterday night it was "if you must due to children you can". My work switched to WFH last thursday but were discussing starting as early as monday (we're only 5 people building software, we already had a pretty flexible wfh policy).

All kids will graduate to next grade, and university admittance qualifications will be adjusted to reflect the lack of certain grade 12 experience.

CitizenVectron Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Air operators are barred from allowing anyone who has any symptoms (including Canadians) from coming into Canada.
