@Splinty What if plasma from recovered patients was given to person whose immune system is weak like the the old folks , but they don't have the virus.
What will happen if they get the virus, will the plasma help them or no?

When did runny nose hit the symptoms list?
It's not a common as sore throat or cough apparently, but it's still a symptom. Don't worry sweetheart, I'll be fine. I know how much I mean to you.

But it's pretty funny everyone is washing their hands 700 times a day in case they touch a railing, and I just get some retarded old person walking up to blow their nose literally in my face. If she has the AIDS, it wouldn't matter how many times you was your hands, if you're that schmuck standing where I was, you've probably got the AIDS now as well. You can take precautions, but ultimately whether or not you catch this thing is based on luck unless you totally isolate yourself.

That's how I got it. I met this bloke Claudio at a pub, had some drinks at his house and then passed out. I woke up with blood in my underwear, and weird rashes on my wrists and neck, almost like what it would look like if someone had been tied up by leather straps. Didn't think much of it though, but a few weeks later I was HIV positive. Then it hit me - Claudio was definitely sneezing and we drank out of the same glass to do some shots, so that's what it was. Don't share cups, people.

I will say this, I think it's shady AF that any world leader would do that..... However that said..... One of the things that always gets me, especially here in America.... Is how people who are desperate enough for work, won't go pick up a broom and sweep floors for money, or clean toilets, or work a field, or do manual labor because they feel that that work is beneath them.... But they'll be the first to ask for cash and handouts.

They are also (at least here in America again) are the first to say to keep immigrants out (Mexicans), and scream that they "took our jobs"..... It reminds me of that Dave Chappelle bit where he was like "Mexicans aren't going nowhere, it's not like white people will be out in the fields picking their own strawberries for their brunches".

So again, that's fucked up from Trudeau did that, ABSOLUTELY fucked... But..... Are those jobs ones that people were actually going to do, or was it beneath them?

yea ok
I don't think I'm immune at all.

I don't believe a mask is necessary, and for most people it actually increases their odds of catching The Rona.

You will all be happy to know I was wearing a mask yesterday. It was because I was machining cedar and that stuff makes me sneeze my head off - but I did have a mask on, thus proving that I will wear one when it's necessary.

Do you think if sick ppl wear masks then it stops spreading the virus?

Yes. I think sick people with coughing/sneezing symptoms should definitely wear a mask. As should the people around them or caring for them.

I know you're not going anywhere. I mean to much to you, and you'd never be able to leave me. I was more asking for the sake of accuracy. According to our government the symptoms are:
Symptoms have included:

  • cough
  • fever
  • difficulty breathing
  • pneumonia in both lungs

Canadians don’t want these jobs
I will say this, I think it's shady AF that any world leader would do that..... However that said..... One of the things that always gets me, especially here in America.... Is how people who are desperate enough for work, won't go pick up a broom and sweep floors for money, or clean toilets, or work a field, or do manual labor because they feel that that work is beneath them.... But they'll be the first to ask for cash and handouts.

So again, that's fucked up from Trudeau did that, ABSOLUTELY fucked... But..... Are those jobs ones that people were actually going to do, or was it beneath them?

We have been doing this for years in Canada. The intended use of this program is to fill jobs that Canadians are unwilling to do. Usually these jobs are very low skilled, hard labor, and tasks that again, Canadians seem to be unwilling to do. To qualify this companies must’ve been actively recruiting for these positions for the last year or something like that.

I am not a big fan of these programs but again they’ve been going on in Canada across political parties. Our only other option to fill these undesirable positions of employment is to force the companies to pay more or to top up the wages through the government.

MMAHAWK @MMAHAWK Thinks this practice is racist.

If asymptomatic people are really spreading this, how can the 2nd wave not be horrific? Relatively few caused 125k deaths in the US. There are currently 1.3 million confirmed infected, no telling how many unconfirmed or asymptomatic. When restrictions are eased it could be a nightmare.
