His name is Dr Bruce Aylward, a Canadian doctor in the W.H.O. He wasn’t the only member of the team but he did most of the speaking in the presser. They were in China, in Wuhan and other places. He felt the drop in numbers was real because they could see the empty beds in the hospitals.
You can find the whole two hour presser with q and a’s on YouTube - look for coronavirus WHO expert global news. Well worth watching .
You can't trust him; Canadians will say anything for cold a Molson and some poutine.
Which type of Molson? It's actually Molson Canadian and back bacon that can really entrap a Canadian. Bob and Doug McKenzie were the sign-posts of my generation.
It does bother me how this very real health issue is being politicized. Viruses don't vote nor are they affected by polls.
In the reading that I've done it does seem that the rather draconian measures that the Chinese have taken has limited the spread there but as those from the WHO have stated, the countries with weaker health systems can be quite at risk. Listening to the commentators on Bloomberg News which is on my daily listen list, more and more smart people are adjusting their plans and financial forecasts to accommodate for this being a real hit to economic activity for several months to come at least not to mention the real tragedies of those who lose their lives.
Time to go wash my hands for probably the 5th time today. Stay safe everyone and take prudent precautions.

How is CMM? How is your son doing? Now, the most important question is...how are you doing?
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
CMM has been doing well after Friday’s chemo. Energy level was good, no vomiting, eating well. Woke up about 4 am and seemed uncomfortable, some gagging in the bathroom and said he temporarily felt like he couldn’t breathe, but his oxygen level was good, breathing seemed normal, and he went back to sleep. Had a normal text conversation around 1:00.
Texted him at 6:30 to let him know I was on my way home - no answer (not too unusual for him). Got home at 7:00 to find him asleep in our bed with a fat lip and dried blood all down his cheek. I woke him up and all he could tell me was he fell in the bathroom - didn’t know when, or how, couldn’t tell me if he’d eaten today or anything.
So got my son to help me get him downstairs and hustled him out to the car for a trip back to the ER. Waiting for a head CT right now, they’ll probably keep him for observation as he’s still confused.
yikes Kml, how is CMM? I hate that you guys are in the hospital getting exposed to who knows what, but it's best when there is a fall and other issues, I get it.
How are you doing?

How is CMM doing? Gosh, he's really having a tough time of it. Keeping all of you in my thoughts and prayers.

CMM was kept overnight for observation, CT scan was normal. His memory came back today. He was at the sink in the bathroom and had myoclonus (muscle jerks, likely due to a recent increase in medications ). His legs gave out and that’s what caused him to plant his face into the tile counter, then fall back on the floor and hit his head.
We are decreasing his meds. This should fix the problem.
