    1. @Frank Garrett
      Exactly! How about you stop living in fear of the flu and tell the government to shove it. This is pure hysteria the ONLY pandemic is fear

    2. @Frank Garrett Rich like typing detected. Scanners confused Captain. Possibly old cranky Conservative? Shields up!

    1. Grocery and department stores are still open, so unless they’re buying up movie popcorn and bar coasters, it isn’t going to stop it.

    2. It’s not like our supplies are running low on the food end though, stores just weren’t ready for the panic, but they can get plenty more food

    1. ALL of this could’ve been avoided if we had shut down any commercial airlines, quarantined anyone who’d come in AT THE BEGINNING. but no, we had to be reactionary as usual. Which tells me, this is a new world order. Something is afoot here, and I don’t like it.

    1. @legoboy7825 Are you aware of the cost of a car? It’s not exactly something you can buy through a “cash” job.

    1. @Themazeful hahaha you can most definitely be spiritual and non religious what are you 12 ? Hahaha

  1. Keep the Mary Jane delivery services rollin. Order more snacks.
    Watch everything on low resolution.🤘
    Dont eat the Tp

    1. Not a 100% shutdown. This is a small partial shutdown.

      If it were a shutdown everything would be literally shutdown.

  2. My husband is at Toyota today. A plant that houses 4000 employees. WHY is he still working? Cars right now are not essential.

    1. Shut up person lmao jk, they already cancelled my collage but now the only thing I have left is work so hush hush I need to be doing stuff lmao not watching Netflix at home

    2. Nope, but pay cheques are. Not everyone can afford to just stop working. If you guys can afford to then just get your husband to call in sick. I’m pretty sure he could get away with it. Why should everyone else have to give up their job? You should be asking him that question.

  3. Did you see the expression on the lady to his right when he said they are closing bars? at 1:30 in. That is awesome.

    1. Mine is still going. Same with all the auto dealerships . Nobody wants to close or else they have to pay their workers for not coming in.

    2. @Rob M look everyone, a tough guy on the internet! LMAO
      Awww , frightened and sensitive are we? Take it easy cupcake…

  4. Doug Ford: this is not a provincial shut down
    Ontario: oh ok so everything’s still up n running
    Doug Ford: well yes, but actually no
