We're All Doomed!™ (the Conquest, War, Famine, and Death Thread)

The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

This seems to reflect the current estimates floating around right now:

Conference I was to attend in April has been cancelled. Was hoping to take the kid racing in the States over Spring break but the new travel restriction screw that.

Maybe I'll curl up on the couch and watch reruns of people playing cards.

Skyo, do you still have any diphtheria blankets? I wouldn't want to get cold.
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

Your disagreement is the product of semantics, and my math done on old released numbers.

On the other hand, my valid question of:

"Are Xnumber of deaths worth the price of my entertainment??"

Is still relevant.

Research team has isolated the COVID-19 virus
Wow, that was much quicker than expected!

I could be wrong, but I think that means they might have a vaccine within 3-8 months.

If you've survived the Hastings bus Wuhan or Tehran should be a piece of cake.

I wonder what's the point of prohibiting gatherings of 250 when people are still cramming onto buses? There's higher contagion there than a schoolful of kindergarteners.

Shit HW, you would've been safer on an empty plane to Sweden.

Right!!! And I’d have Per to look after me.


Seriously I think it’s a cold or allergies but I can’t get a test because I’m not sick enough.

Canada and US failed miserably. Neither country tested. Now Sophie is positive and Justin won’t test based on science??? He has no symptoms. What a crock of shit. Test everyone who wants one.

Madness, I tell you! Madness!


Then again, it’s just basketball, so no real loss.

Hockey, on the other hand..... :evil:

How come Doyle never got the virus living next door to Robert the pig farmer wet market?
