And Markle was worried about Archie getting WuFlu in the UK...
He’s MARRIED??!!

Sophie Grégoire Trudeau's coronavirus infection comes after attending U.K. event
Was Markle there?
Now, the million Loonie question: The Canadian health care system is notorious for long waiting times.
How did she get tested so quickly?
Oh yeah. “She knew somebody high up”
Never mind.
She’s one of those women who would look great even dressed in a burlap bag.
Canada has been running circles around the states on testing.
Ontario has about twice Washington’s population, five times the testing capacity, and about one-tenth of the case load.
“The Canadian health care system is notorious for long waiting times.”

Very true. But I don’t know if they’ve had the same problems the US has had when it comes to public testing for CV19.
Wish her well. I do not wish this virus on anyone.
I’ll bet she’s a hell of a hockey player, too. :-)
You’re comparing apples to oranges. Despite its low overall population density, Canada is a much more urbanized country than a lot of outsiders may realize. Almost two-thirds of the country’s population lives in its ten largest metro areas.
Do I have coronavirus? Jammed public health phone lines leave Canadians in the dark
Lazamataz, Well, we are waiting....
Yeah, I’d hate to get stuck in a Canadian Healthcare phone run-around for God knows how many hours. US ones are bad enough!
I’d say it is even more urbanized than that if you begin by defining the GTA generously as one urban area.
Toronto and Montreal are very big—Toronto is bigger than Chicago even without any of its suburbs, which add loads of people.
That said, a socialized medical system that manages to be decentralized enough and flexible enough to exercise discretion and getting testing on line quickly isn’t just a result of urbanization.
The containment thus far is remarkably effective.
It also helps that the urban areas are very isolated from each other for the most part. Nothing like California or the North-East.
Thus far I think only a handful of cases of in-country transmission, and only 15 or so people out of 140 or so hospitalized.
If he can get on skates, she might be happy to plough Laz into the boards.
I would suspect that many would test positive, but that does not necessarily mean they are exhibiting symptoms.
How many of us would test positive for other viruses which have no affect on outlet overall general health?
Interesting that the swine flu H1N1 killed about 13,000 people and sickened 60,000,000 years in the US. Nowhere near the coronavirus panic back then.
