So, here I am today sitting in my house with no job to go to, angry and complaining about everything while waiting for my Government check...

OMG!!! This virus has turned me into a liberal!

Drove over to the grocery store about 15 min before they open. 100 people in line

I'm not that hungry yet.

Yeah, I went out last weekend to get some essentials, only to find a queue outside the local (small town) Wal-Mart. I refuse to stand in line to go into a Wal-Mart!

But when I went grocery shopping later, it was the same situation there. Tape marks at 6’, only letting 5 people into the store at a time, as 5 leave. Same tape marks up to the checkouts. Aisles marked one way. Cashiers separated by a plastic panel. Actually, it was well done, for the protection of store employees and customers. I don’t LIKE it, but I was impressed by the effort.

Really hoping that it will go back to normal soon. But not before we beat this thing!

What distributors do, I don’t know. But based on one interview with someone who apparently was asleep at the switch and now is complaining that he couldn’t himself jump the queue to get the supplies that he should have had in hand long before now, I remain unconvinced. Sounds like some American capitalists were doing the same thing to their fellow countrymen that people on this board are pissed off at China for. Ironic, isn’t it?

3M in the USA, though its two plants there that produce the N95 masks, have contracts to supply 3M Canada, which in turn has contracts to supply Canadian governments (health care up here is government run). And I can guarantee you that Canadian governments haven’t come with bribes - people have gone to jail up here for that. I cannot speak for other countries.

The interview turned me off right from the beginning when the anchor said “i want you to say what you told me before”, which is code for “do it just the way we rehearsed it”. It’s just not journalism. Was there an interview with a representative of 3M? Oh wait, yes there was...

Even from your favourite source. :-)

Look, I have no beef against you, or the US. But the administration’s knee-jerk response has caused an uproar here. Detroit, which is poised to be the next centre for the outbreak, relies on Canadian nurses and doctors who cross the boarder every day. And Michigan will soon call for help the same way that New York did. Normally, Canada would be the first to respond. I think that you know that. But there is a cry here to send those people to Toronto and ignore what might be a humanitarian disaster right next door. Nobody really wants to see that.

It’s another drawback of this whole thing. I just hear loud cars on a nearby Main Street where they just keep racing. I can name the type of car they are usually...

But we can reverse engineer and start manufacturing CPAP ventilators in 100 hours. At least Boris took this crisis seriously.

Before you post with a put down. Ask yourself, how many of your fellow Americans are going to die because you couldn’t act fast enough? Why the was the Navy captain fired because he was worried about his crew? And just remember before you launch into another tirade. Most of the people who will die are the forgotten. The ones who cannot afford healthcare. At least our government and country’s population have not and will not forget the less privileged and why we will make sure any trade deal with the US does not include your healthcare companies trying to grab some of the NHS business. Our health and medical service will do just fine without you

You have such a high opinion of yourselves but forget much of what you claim credit for was actually developed outside of the US. Did you know the only American built car to win Le Mans was actually built in England? The drug that turned Pfizer into what it is today was developed in England. You don’t have to worry about shipping us medicines because the top 5 generics companies are either European or Indian with an Israeli company at the top. Speaking of Israel, Intel do much of their processor design there and the smartphone you are using probably has a British designed SoC architecture.

I’ll give you credit for one thing. The US has been great at pissing everyone else off. Obama and Bill Clinton tried to stem that but hey ho you have to live with it I suppose.

I know and get on with a lot of guys from the US, but have no time for the ones who have been brainwashed into thinking they are superior and have a sense of humour that makes the Germans look funny

Well she has had a bit of non Royal ginger in her a few times.

Of course he isn’t Charles’ his slapper of a Mum went round the block a few times and it was the galloping cad James Hewitt.

I appreciate the royal family as they bring tourism into Britain but don’t get why the rest of the world love them so much. Loved Diana so much

Prince Phillip would call everyone a **** if he wasn’t on camera. Andrew ***** underage girls and Edward is a pussy because he loves to wear military uniforms but never earned one

To me. The royals are nothing more then a soap opera. What skeleton is going to pop out of the closet next.

Harry and Megwad moved to Canada. Thinking that Canada will pay for their security. Canada said no. So they moved to Hollyweird. Expecting us to pick up the tab. Trump said no. Now I read that Charles will pay for security.
