How will it handle the summer
They just don’t know this yet unfortunately.
Maybe it will love it
What happens if a parent of a child has a compromised immune system or underlying medical conditions? Hmmm? Thot so.
What do you mean? I have compromised immune system. If your child has compromised immune, you should phone the doctor and ask what they suggest. If You have a compromised immune system, you need to make sure you and your kid are washing their hands and monitor very closely for symptoms. If you have concern or questions, call 811 (alberta healthlink) like she said.
So you ban all gatherings over 250 but the schools are still open?
ya makes sense dosn’t it!
it proves you can’t fix stupid
DDRR00 ! That’s like a gathering of like 800 lol (at least at my school)
UofA just cancelled classes on Friday. It didn’t say anything like cancelling classes after this Friday, but you can guess it’s the most likely thing they’re gonna say later
Schools and colleges and universities?
Alberta …was wondering the same, after all, schools are a cesspool of germs.
Shut down all schools!!!
Yes but no
For how long? you really think this is only going to last one month or two, grow a brain
Smalltownbrewer1 we’re talking temporarily at least
Sure, you can graduate at the age of 22. Canadian children are already getting the most days off(March breaks, summer off for 3months and winter breaks) in the world, and of course one of the dumbest in the world. No wonder. Its only gonna get worse.
Shouldn’t daycares be closed ? Makes sense
The daycare the child attended is temporarily closed
Cases from ALBERTA is not being updated in national cases list.
This is a smart move. The more we can isolate for a while, the less it will spread.
So where will the virus go, will it sit on a beach in Hawaii? Do you think viruses just disappear?
Lock down Alberta please it feels like the calm before the storm
You’re so ridiculous
Smalltownbrewer1 And your dinking you’re own brew.
8:14 This is a disaster. Stop ANY gatherings and get that person checked
Gathers? Who says that? You mean gatherings?
That’s what you focussed on during this information, doorknob
Just call it as it is:
Wuhan Flu.
All of the other influenza viruses are probably also numbered.
Sars is a corona virus, swine flu is part of the influenza family.
We name things from where they come from.
Oh what about the casinos
The government wouldn’t shut down the casinos because they would loose put.
Don’t mess with the casinos that’s the biggest concern lol
There’s not enough resources if everyone gets sick at the same time. It’s best to try & slow it down.
The mall next door to my work definitely needs to get shut down
Is it that hard to get stereo sound ? wtf
No hand sanitizer available. No mask available at any stores. What aggressive you guys doing.
Close Grand MacEwan university.
