  1. Pay for a test? That's a strange and inefficient practice for a public health emergency. In Canada 81% of deaths were in long term care facilities for seniors. A recent peer-reviewed study compared public and private facilities. Both types of facilities had similar numbers of outbreaks, but private (for-profit) facilities had more cases and more deaths per capita than the public facilities. In BC (we get a lot of data from the government) the median ages reported out for cases, hospitalization and deaths were interesting I thought. Median age for cases - 50 years old Median age for hospitalizations - 69 years old Median age for deaths - 85 years old
  2. Commercial landlords are not required to apply for the rental assistance program. A bunch of small businesses are in the news shutting down because they owe four months rent and the landlord refused to apply for assistance. The program works like this, the federal government pays 1/2 the rent, and the landlord and tenant split the other half. So to get the 50% federal money the landlord has to reduce the rent by 25% for four months.
  3. Wreck Beach might be a bit crowded for you in summer. Lots of people. This is a pic of the 'straight' beach. The gay beach has more nudity and is a bit further south. I think its 7 or 8 km long total. And this is a pic from the Guinness Book of World records' attempted 'most people skinny dipping at once' record
  4. Are there many people that go to Riis Beach? And are there derelict buildings along it (which is what I saw on YouTube).
  5. This reminds me of the (gross generalization) of the world being divided by class into those that shower before work, and those that shower after work.
  6. Isn't it just an obvious question? If you're closed down for four months with limited income, a business that is renting space is likely going to be in more trouble, than a business that owned their space. I hope you own the space or have an understanding landlord. Why are you PM'ing me about this?
  7. Does Hawaii require anything more than the two weeks of self-quarantine?
  8. Doesn't travel health insurance cover COVID? I'm gonna call my credit card company tomorrow.
  9. Don't know what thread this belongs. For you Las Vegas residents. https://www.datalounge.com/thread/25975904-porn-star-derek-atlas-is-this-for-real-
  10. I wonder. Do you think Trump has ever fired a gun? (I have. As a "recreation" I don't get the fetishization.)
  11. Good luck. Do you own your building?
  12. I didn't think "on your back, on your knees, or both" needed so much thinking ...
  13. You strike me as more of an "R" person than an "M" person ... just a hunch
