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.

Just not ready doesn't have the kahunas but if Canata shut off the water/hydro to the US, that would cause a problem.
It's not just masks, the US have basically stopped shipments of things like respiratory Mëds too.
For the masks, Canada is being forded to try and get them from, you guessed it, China.
FFS !! Never thought I'd see the day Canada and the US were at odds. :(

Kicking sand at the bully won't work Mick. No need getting into a fight we can't win so might as well just start making our own fucking masks...like we should have been doing all along.

I hope this whole schmozzle wakes up a nationalistic manufacturing movement and we take back a significant chunk of the jobs and industry from the bateaters.

Last night one US news site had a story criticizing 3M for exporting masks and with Trump's "America 1st" philosophy I knew it would happen. How can you blame him. His citizens are dieing and the healthcare system is a shambles. County health authorities are saying one thing, State Health departments another and the Feds are eating shit over it all.

Trudidiot may have grown a pair of balls this morning when he mentioned how many Canadian nurses work in Detroit and have been allowed to cross the border daily as essential services.

Reality, look for 3M to divert shipments from other plants.

Isn't a Global economy a thing of beauty.

Nobody's complaining when they can buy all the Chinese-made crap they don't need at low low prices.

And no company is going to move manufacturing back home so they can sell at higher prices than their competitors and go out of business.

Won't happen unless we go back to tariffs and protectionism in a big way.

The effectiveness of the "game changer" cocktail of an antimalarial and an antibiotic, hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin is still unclear:

https://www.newyorker.com/news/daily-co ... oronavirus

A potential immediate solution, based on supposedly positive results from clinical studies in Marseille, France, which President Trump touted as a possible “game changer,” is a cocktail of an antimalarial and an antibiotic, hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin. On Saturday, the F.D.A. approved hydroxychloroquine and a related medication, chloroquine, for emergency use. Advocates for the cocktail argue that desperate diseases require desperate measures. But a study published on Tuesday, led by Jean-Michel Molina, an infectious-diseases expert at Hôpital Saint-Louis, in Paris, reports that, when prescribed in the same regimen as was followed in Marseille, the cocktail shows no benefit.

At the very least we should move to produce critical equipment domestically.

The republicans have eaten all sorts of shit for promoting a protectionist policy yet here we are. This isnt any sort of trump endorsement btw....just an observation

Because of a once in a hundred year pandemic we should start producing critical equipment domestically? There's a lot of stuff that could be put on the critical list, and all of it would be more expensive. And we'd be paying for it through increased taxes.

Might be easier just to create and manage a stockpile of these items.

The trend seems to have the frequency of these communicable diseases increasing rather than following a historical 100 year rotation so it would definitely be in the average canadians best interest to have a critical requirement list that includes basics like masks or respirators made in Canada.

Not talking about everything right out of dollar tree just essential medical equipment. The bargain hunters should still be able to find cheap, lead infused plastic junk in every town

What about masks? You know eventually we're all going to be required to wear masks in public. Reef will finally have the last laugh.
