I haven't had any symptoms at all. I've been doing the errands and shopping for two households so I've had a lot of exposure to other people before stores started implementing physical barriers and social distancing. My reasons to be tested are completely selfish, I'd like to extend my bubble to include my parents and maybe my sister's family. It's unclear which type of test they'll be doing.

This is the test to see if you are currently shedding virus. The problem is you could be negative at the time you test and convert by the time you get results. Testing only tells you if you are shedding virus at the moment of the test.I haven't had any symptoms at all.

Serology testing tells if you have antibodies which would be the time you're safe to enlarge your social circle.

I miss mine and my wife's family too. They where up the first week of March and then shit hit the fan. We usually see them a lot in the summer. They don't come up much in the winter.......and that's usually when we are super busy and it's hard to have guests. We'll get to see them again it's just toughI haven't had any symptoms at all.

I was just looking it up and Health Canada just approved an antibody test last week. It won't be available to the public until July at the earliest.I agree, the quarantine think sucks, but being separated from family is hard. I cheated the last two weekends.I miss mine and my wife's family too. They where up the first week of March and then shit hit the fan. We usually see them a lot in the summer.

We celebrated Mother's day at my parents place on the 17th. We were outdoors in their backyard at two separate picnic tables. No touching and I never got closer than about ten feet from them and I brought my own food and drinks. Last weekend I went to Ottawa and spent a couple hours with my sister in the park. It was the first time I got to see my niece in person since she was born in February. Again we stayed far apart and no touching. I think we've gone overboard on keeping people apart and haven't given enough thought to mental health. If you keep it outdoors, wear a mask and stay at least two meters apart you should be allowed to see your loved ones.

I wish the family was closer......a long days drive, that's better broken up with a room one night is tough. My parents where supposed to be up today for my sons 3rd b-day this week. That sucks.......the stuff you made plans for. We where suposed to go on a short vacation in March also.......to get away from the crazy of the winter tourist season.....just got more crazy huh. Sorry just thinking out loud.

Covid-19 is acting very much like HIV and Herpes viruses. They have been around for years yet we still have no vaccines against them. There is not likely to be a vaccine any time soon. At least HIV and Herpes aren't airborne contagions. However Covid-19

You must be safe. Health care workers will suffer greatly from this, it is changing the health care field.

Hopefully the new normal doesn't involve 2 Boeing 737 max jets crashing in the next 2 years, killing 346 people like it did the previous 2 years.

The lethal march of COVID-19 passes 100,000 deaths in the U.S. despite some predictions it would not. The grim milestone presents a moment to consider who has died and how many others might follow.
