Obviously we have to put our part, but I find it embarrassing that they aren't trying to find us. You're in Peru, as a Peruvian citizen, right? Why would Canadian officials come and find you to take you back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a Canadian passport, and my dad needs to be closer to work. So technically we do qualify. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Gonzo Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 The US govt is flying out my coworker & other Americans trapped in Peru, so I imagine Canada would do the same thing. I do know that dual nationals aren’t always afforded the same protection though while they’re in a country they’re a citizen of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just now I got an email about getting all Canadian citizens out including me and my dad. About time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berserker Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Complete quarantine here at least till March 30th, only exceptions are to fetch supplies or to go help family members. Fucking useless idiots always taking half-mesures, what about the people that actually need to work to live?, how the fuck are they supposed to buy food & paid for services and bills if they're not allowed to go work? fucking bellends.

True Blue Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 64 now here, we had 16 more new cases. None in my city the capital of the country . The smile enjoy is because it is not true, probably no one got tested or is afraid to get tested. the streets are emptier, the public transportation has been shut down. Lot of people still work, how can they get to work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluebird Hewitt Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 9 hours ago, RandoEFC said: People in the UK still don't seem to understand this and think stuff like closing schools is an overreaction or that it's alright to still go to the pub if you're not in the vulnerable group, or that stopping social gatherings isn't required if all over 70s are self isolating out of the way anyway. It doesn't matter who gets it or whether they'll be fine. Everyone is likely to pass it on to at least 1 or 2 other people and it snowballs from there. I really worry that too much of our population have the "it'll be fine" attitude because they've never lived through anything like this before and collective responsibility is an alien concept to too many of them. I hope I'm wrong. My mate was in Tesco's yesterday to get some bits and bobs. Not only were queues going down the aisles, but the majority form what I saw were easily 50 and over. Quite concerning when these are supposed to be the people who are being looked up to in this sort of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IgnisExcubitor Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 This piece reads like a fabulously written fiction story, except it's real. Kinda explains how the virus spreads in different situations.

I think one of the purpose of that article was to scare people into taking this pandemic seriously. If it achieves that purpose, I will be glad. @topic More entitled idiots.
