AbsolutSurgen Posted March 16, 2020 Author Share Posted March 16, 2020 Closing the borders to Americans would destroy the economy -- and seriously impact the supply chain (for food, and more). It really isn't practical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CitizenVectron Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 The one good thing so far is that while cases continue to rise in Canada, community spread seems to be slowed, and most cases are from travelers. Unfortunately travelers from the US are the main cause of new cases right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbsolutSurgen Posted March 16, 2020 Author Share Posted March 16, 2020 Tim Hortons to close dining rooms, will only provide take-out, drive-thru and delivery Quote Tim Hortons will close its dining rooms in Canada and only provide take-out and drive-thru service in response to the COVID-19 outbreak, the chain told franchisees on Monday morning. Tims said changes will start Tuesday and stay in effect “until further notice.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost_MH Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Cool, so we're still in a situation where not everyone that needs to be tested can get tested. My own wife just off a video consult with her doctor. Her doctor has suspicions, but she doesn't qualify for testing. Instead, she has to self-isolate and if she gets worse over the next week, then she can call back to see if she can get tested for COVID-19. That's pretty awesome and reassuring. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mclumber1 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Besides being young, it will be interesting to see what other factors make some people less susceptible to the more harmful effects of the virus. For instance, if there are any ethnicities that fair better than others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silentbob Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 I wonder if they will have a buying option as well. From the looks of it, seems to be just a rental. Well at least I have my projector, spare bulb and surround sound to possibly take advantage of some of these releases. Wonder if they will release 4K versions of the film Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sexy_shapiro Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 19.99 for a 48 hour rental is more than I’m willing to pay, but it may be worth it for groups of 2 or more people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 We made the call to shut down the indoor theater for the foreseeable future starting today. I fully expect to be closed until June. What a weird week it has been. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah if you are only watching it yourself it's not really worth it. 2 or more people it makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
