Now the rest of the affected world need to learn from them so we get rid of this virus.
But we have the time to watch and see if the virus is slowing down...in the mean time...continue practising self isolation...we need more information about this virus...
We have to carry on...and perhaps our economy needs to be protected...I am not completely affected economically by the restrictions...as I work as an essential service employee...but I do want to stay healthy and not be subjected to illness...so far so good...
As far as I am concerned...the Canadian government has acted swiftly...and information regarding the sick or information on the virus has been transparent...most of our cases have been mild to moderate...the deaths in my province are not that high...but caution should be maintained for people who are immuno-compromised and elderly...
Come to your own decision.
It is a set back for some but it won't last...after all America does not have enough qualified people to do certain jobs...age related or due to economic reasons...education is expensive and brain drain is here...sad really...just a thought...
E.g. -- Louis Feinberg's music teacher suggested the young protégé study classical violin in Europe.
WWI intervened, young Feinberg's musical career was thwarted, and few have heard of him
BUT --
MANY have heard of Larry Fine (Feinberg's eventual stage name) -- who gained enduring fame as one of The Three Stooges
"There is no great loss without some small gain."
- Caroline Ingalls, quoted by Daughter Laura Ingalls Wilder in her Little House Books.
In Mr. Feinberg's instance, the "small gain" wasn't so ... SMALL!

(Excerpt)
Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at the National Institutes of Health, wrote that because of the high number of unreported cases, “the case fatality rate may be considerably less than 1% . . . ultimately more akin to those of a severe seasonal influenza (which has a case fatality rate of approximately 0.1%).” (This is from Fauci, Lane, and Redfield, “Covid-19 — Navigating the Uncharted,” NEJM (2020 February 28): 1–2.)

It's now a stinging indictment of Human Nature.
Makes one ashamed to be us ...
"I am calling on President Trump to abandon his lawsuit seeking to strike down the Affordable Care Act."
A few months ago, this would've been over the top & a bit ridiculous ...
