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.

Although the risk is low there is still a risk and if your insurance does not cover you, you may be stuck with thousands or more in medical costs should you be infected bad enough to warrant hospital stay. Also being a non citizen you would be low on the priority list should you need a bed or anything else.

It is not worth the risk for this trip and I would put it off for another year.
She's going to Sweden, right? Then that shouldn't be an issue.
Patients are prioritized based on needs only.

Well, as long as it is emergency medicin, that is.

Chronic disease, or things that are not urgent, then they could try to remit you to wherever you're from.
But emergency cases are prioritized strictly according to urgency.
Whatever you do, always give 100 %!

NHL expected to follow the NBA and suspend the season. Expect official word later today.

Department of Player Safety has announced that the season will not be suspended, instead, each fan will be fined $5,000.

#NHL season has been suspended. The league is on hiatus, with hope that it’s a short pause to protect player and staff health and safety.
