So, here's the Canadian COVID-19/Coronavirus news for today. For your information.
13,882 cases of confirmed cases of Coronavirus.
2,604 have recovered as of today.
In all of Canada, we have, so far, had 233 deaths.
This works out to about 293.92 cases per 1 million people in Canada.
This is not all horrible news. It's not great, but it's not as bad as it could be, either.
In Ontario, we have 3,630 cases as of yesterday (April 4, 2020), which is about half of Quebec's 6,997. So far, Nunavut is the only province or territory to see 0 cases. Let's hope it stays that way!!
Some of the interesting things I've heard in the past few weeks, as we run low on things like PPE, hand sanitizer and vital medical equipment is how technology is coming to everyone's aid. And how low-tech solutions are also being put into use.
3D printers are developing emergency ventilators. These are being developed in Spain. However, these are being put into use in a worst-case scenario.
Colin Hanks (Yes, Tom Hanks' son), has his own company called Hanks Kerchiefs. On his Instagram account, he shows how to turn his kerchiefs into masks to wear outside. Presumably, this can be used for any kerchief (bandanna). But he has some really cute designs.
So, how have you been handling your quarantine, social distancing, whatever you want to call it?
For me, I've been playing obscene amounts of Fortnite and Fallout 4. And just started Red Dead Redemption 2. My sleep schedule is a bit messed up between working 11pm to 7 am 3 days a week and 7 am to 3pm on Sundays. I try to get some normal sleep from Thursday to Saturday nights.
My kids start online school tomorrow and are actually looking forward to it. Which is great. Because I haven't seen one of my kids in about 2 days since she's holed up in her room. Maybe I'll be able to convince her to use her computer in the kitchen while they do school.
Other than that, we're taking each day as it comes and staying as safe as possible.
How about you? How are you doing?
