Think about the airlines. They will have to fly more than half empty flights to the US.

I see cancellations coming soon.

And on international flights some are ghost flights - zero passengers - airport slots are use it or lose it.

Are they using Excel for that?

Local transmission - Boom and so it really begins..

And right in the Province where they want to set up a quarantine unit.

If that report is true it's a game changer.

But I'm still waiting to see where Bloomberg got their info.

What does local transmission actually mean?

 

[pinball wizard]

That's caused by riboflavin.

Sounds like something melrose add to cheese spread to fool muslims.

Oh come on, no need to be that negative. Negative is what will kill you.

Be positive. Do not let this get you down.

You do know general pain can sometimes be an underlying symptom of a systemic problem, so masking it with pain meds can actually be worse. But that wasn’t the question I asked about diagnosis ? Do you go to the pharmacist first with your symptoms or a Dr?

If I have a sinus headache during hay-fever season, or have the hives. I'm not certainly not going to visit a doctor;; only a person that was unaware of their allergies would visit a doctor. Similarly I keep an epipen for my other more critical allergy.

Simple its the same group of chemicals; 1 dose is in pill form and another as an injection -- neither requiring a doctor as its all over the counter.

Similarly I wouldn't visit a doctor for the onset of yearly flu symptoms either -- I know the remedy.
Migraines are no different; I know the remedy and its over the counter.

...and if you in any of those above examples would visit a doctor each time; then you're a moron.
