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.

Good for you. You can’t let fear dictate your life
Hey, be honest, we are ALL scared to death of Per! :scowl:

But seriously folks, if it were me I would postpone until such time as a vaccine is available.

And that wouldn't be a decision based on fear, but rather logic...

The only HW the Canucks need

Forgot to post earlier that WHO has declared COVID19 a pandemic.

https://www.who.int/emergencies/disease ... hey-happen
Speaking at the COVID-19 media briefing, the WHO Director-General said:

"WHO has been assessing this outbreak around the clock and we are deeply concerned both by the alarming levels of spread and severity, and by the alarming levels of inaction.

We have therefore made the assessment that COVID-19 can be characterized as a pandemic.

Pandemic is not a word to use lightly or carelessly. It is a word that, if misused, can cause unreasonable fear, or unjustified acceptance that the fight is over, leading to unnecessary suffering and death.

Describing the situation as a pandemic does not change WHO’s assessment of the threat posed by this virus. It doesn’t change what WHO is doing, and it doesn’t change what countries should do.

We have never before seen a pandemic sparked by a coronavirus. This is the first pandemic caused by a coronavirus.

And we have never before seen a pandemic that can be controlled, at the same time."
The link is a good place to go for updates and things can change incredibly fast.

Well I'm younger than Wids, whom you are encouraging to go. :scowl:

But don't kid yourself, people of all ages have-died/will-die from this.

You are a foolish, foolish man to downplay this thing to such a degree...

:wow:
I hope everyone saw this, they figure it's about time to decide who should die.

They don't have the resources/manpower to treat everyone, so try to save as much of the younger crowd as possible.

Those of you who seem to think this is 'just another bug'... have you ever witnessed anything like this?

Italy shut down.

Hockey seasons/playoffs canceled all over Europe.

We're behind the curve over here in North America, but it has already affected the Sharks and northern CA.

(also the Blue Jackets and Ohio to some degree)

Scouts, NHL personnel grounded, and this thing is growing by the day/hour.

I think it's time we all woke up here. :(

In my experience in alberta shithole oilfield camps, i found wearing gloves really helped me to avoid catching these things. Those camps used to get hammered by every infectious shit virus you could think of and my glove trick saved my bacon plenty. I would just toss them out and throw on new ones every day.

Jeffrey Dahmer has had his blender taken away, no more handshakes.
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.
