Meanwhile, the Cabinet Office has been in communication with local authorities about their "mass death preparedness", BBC Newsnight understands.

Councils are being asked about their plans to deal with pressures on public services if deaths from coronavirus are severe, including where they might locate new - perhaps mass - burial sites.

They're still trying to determine whereabouts and contacts from the Montreal suspected case.
The person did not use public transports nor go to work.

Now they're saying the person flew in from Doha, Qatar?

e: They're saying we might not know for sure if they definitely have the virus until Sunday. I believe they're waiting on more test results.
The press conference out of the blue at 8pm is totally reassuring.

Pretty impressive how the proper test for an unprepared administration was a pandemic rather than absolutely everything else they did wrong. And that the pandemic was the excuse the markets would have to finally collapse after almost three years of massive overpricing and ignoring of market realities.

it's almost as though someone completely dismantled all the non-terrorism emergency preparedness bodies in the executive branch, left various public health agencies critically underfunded, refused to appoint multiple cabinet-level and sub-cabinet positions, ignored the advice of the CDC, and delegated response authority to a bunch of dudes who are more concerned about public relations than limiting the spread of a likely pandemic

Thankfully one look at a poutine and the virus will flee back to whence it came.

Health minister currently reassuring the population by saying the coronavirus is essentially like the common cold, you run a bit of a fever, have a bit of respiratory problems then it's gone.

Thank god!

Dog Found to Have ‘Low Level’ of Coronavirus in Hong Kong

quote:

The pet dog of a coronavirus patient in Hong Kong has been found to have a “low level” of the virus, the Hong Kong government said early Friday.

The dog tested “weak positive” for the coronavirus, the city’s agricultural and fisheries department said in a statement, without giving further details. Officials will carry out further tests to confirm whether the dog has really been infected with the disease, or if it was a result of environmental contamination of its mouth and nose.

Much is still not known about the virus that is spreading around the world after emerging in central China late last year. It is thought to have transferred to humans from bats and has been shown to spread in a number of ways, but the Hong Kong agricultural department said it doesn’t have evidence that pet animals can be infected, or be a source of infection to people.

If confirmed, the dog would be the first case of a pet catching the coronavirus amid a global outbreak that’s now infected more than 82,000 people and claimed more than 2,800 lives.

The dog is being quarantined at an animal facility, the Hong Kong government said. The department strongly advised that pets of confirmed virus patients also be put under quarantine.

Well the virus has already jumped a couple of species to start infecting humans, they are speculating it may have started in bats and jumped to pangolins and then us.

theres actually part of the bill that forbids the profits from being used on schools. that was part of the argument for them trying to keep the state taxes last ballot season, to fix up schools because they couldnt with weed tax. they are greedy as gently caress. we should amend the weed bill to spend on schools i dont know why that wasn't obviously a thing from the start

I'm probably remembering something about using weed tax money on rural schools, but I didn't hear the end of it so I assumed it was just going on like when Pueblo used a pile of weed tax money on refurbishing their jail, because locals don't want to build a new one and have shot it down in a county ballot vote.

Colorado is weird. We really should be dumping that money in the general fund but noooo, it's all special. Also the MED could use more enforcement and compliance people, because some of these grows are shadier than a thousand year old forest.
