I personally don't know anyone that has been tested (typically Alberta residents). Only recommended self-isolation.

I do know someone that lost a friend yesterday though (they were in their 20s too) which is certainly sombre when it's closer to home.

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: Lokasenna<br/> <br/> We'll get there - that's what we're trying to do.

I don't have a link handy, but I believe France's spike in numbers is because they started counting those that passed away in places like nursing homes and whatnot.

Oooof France exploded. 1355 deaths.

I know US numbers are updated more periodically but that was almost a 100% increase over yesterday's deaths.

I love this quote and use it a lot myself XD

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>I did a quick catch-up and I see a lot of pessimism here. For instance, 100,000-200,000 deaths in the U.S.? How is that possible?<e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE> <br/> For me it's just about looking at the current rates and making estimates based on expectations from China and Italy'...
