The National for Wednesday, April 8 — Preparing for patient surge; Life after lockdown

Good evening, I'm Adrian Arceneaux, tonight he tested positive and like most Canadians was sent home days later, he died. Know that he's gone, I hope he can get it together smoothly, how quickly the virus can change, and what to watch out for. I'm Andrew Chang tonight too. Kovach infections in Ontario are increasing, so why is testing slowing? As you can see, I'm a little frustrated. A call to increase testing or risk losing control of the outbreak. Called five five five for a blue protected code. they are

what Wuhan looks like after three months of quarantine this is the National Canada is approaching another terrible number tonight almost 20,000 people have tested positive for kovat 19 and many more still The true case count is likely to be much higher and we know that most people who contract this disease have mild symptoms and do not need to go to hospital, but are instead advised to isolate at home and stay safe. recover That's the best case scenario.

What happens most often, but as Briar Stewart tells us, there are times when things don't go that way and things change quickly outside a Richmond house signs of pain, it was inside where Willy - Valdez isolated himself from his wife and young daughter after the tests. positive for Koba 19 the 47 year old man died shortly after going to bed on Saturday my husband is a great guy, he loves his job so much, he is doing noble work for the sake of our family now that he is gone, how can we survive? Valdez was working. In this home for people with disabilities where there was an outbreak, he never went to the hospital like thousands of other Canadians who have been recovering at home.

Procedures vary throughout the country. British Columbia health officials say anyone who tests positive is followed up every day. What happened to Brock Westen in Saskatchewan? We had daily phone calls checking in on what my symptoms were like and then they also talked to my parents to see how they were doing, you know, I just checked on them. Westin's symptoms gradually disappeared as they did for the vast majority of people, but experts say that in some cases a person's health can worsen rapidly. We have learned that there is a critical time period, usually in the second week, if at that time people still have a fever or difficulty breathing, they should seek medical attention. care or go to the hospital, this doctor thinks it's wise to have a friend or family member check you out, but notes that the virus can sometimes attack the heart.

In a couple of minutes it is not clear if Valdez had any underlying health problem, for now his wife remains isolated, even I am also worried and I am a health worker, but there is no option, you don't know where, when you can have this illness, right? and her. knows how deadly and devastating Briar Stewart CBC News Vancouver can be, so we've seen how fast and sometimes unpredictable this virus can become, so let's bring in infectious disease specialist Dr. Allison Magee R. Dr. McGee R, what's that phrase when someone who has symptoms at home should say, "Okay, I have to go to the hospital now," so there are three things you need to know.

The first is that this is no different from other diseases, so it is the same. things that should make you call and ask for help or go to a doctor or a hospital with any other type of respiratory tract infection and the things that we most commonly worry about when people have respiratory tract infections are if you are short of breath if you feel dizzy If you feel confused or not thinking clearly those are the things that worry you the most that you should be in contact with someone. Secondly, most provinces have some type of telehealth line, so this is a good time, if you are worried and not sure what to do, pick up the phone and call and finally when someone speaks to you about a sky greed diagnosis or you see someone, it's good to say, "Okay, what am I supposed to do?" I'm looking for, tell me what I should be worried about and if I'm worried what the process is wherever I am, who to call or what to do, okay dr.

Magesh, thank you very much. Canada today reported more than 50 new deaths from this virus, bringing the total to at least 476 and across the country new cases were added in each province and in a territory where the biggest jumps were where we expected another 691 cases in Quebec. , another 550 in Ontario, that province is a big increase in one day still, so Ontario has the second highest case count in the country, but their testing numbers are far behind, at least they are this time moment, as Vika Dough Pia tells us today. from the Prime Minister himself to speed up testing, even Nick Marceau's doctor suspects he has kovat 19, but he can't get tested and it's frustrating, especially for someone who lives alone, when you're faced with something like this, Marceau doesn't have neither.

You have recently traveled nor are you in a high risk group and your symptoms are not severe so you do not qualify for a test in Ontario, although I had some slightly affected breathing ability, it did not seem like it was preventing me from doing regular activities at home, so what was considered to know the wash weight situation when it comes to the covin testing rate 19:00 compared to other provinces Ontario is far behind as you can see I'm a little frustrated after struggling to build testing capacity for weeks Ontario is now getting help from hospitals and private labs, but most of that extra capacity is still not being used 3,000 tests or just over 3,000 tests are totally unacceptable, we have the capacity for 13,000 tests today and there are no more excuses why we shouldn't be getting 13,000 a day, which will be our goal after orders from top health officials recognized that rules in Ontario should be relaxed, expanded criteria and encouraged doctors to test people if they are concerned that the person has symptoms that may be indicative of kovat 19.

Experts note that testing is not just about identifying

patient

s and their contacts, but also about understanding the spread of the corona virus, which has not decreased. In Ontario, we can't fight an enemy, we can. I don't see how we can't manage an epidemic if we don't know the dimensions, we don't know where it is for Ontario, a renewed promise to find that enemy, we're all hands on deck right now and testing, testing, testing, testing and we don't. let's do. stop testing Vica doe piya CBC News Toronto nursing homes around Ontario continued to struggle with at least 58 facilities reporting 19 outbreaks of kovat one of the hardest hit Seven Oaks in Toronto as of this morning at 7 Oaks there are 45 kovat 19 confirmed cases and 56 probable cases among a total of 249 residents, the death toll has now risen to 16 at the facility and another four deaths are being investigated as potentially related to the virus.

There are also 13 staff members infected at the Sevenoaks home and Quebec is also dealing with dangerous outbreaks in nursing homes one in Laval appears to be out of control with rising infections in both residents and staff and outside nurses who have been brought in to help they say it's like being thrown into a disaster zone Alison Northcott gives us a closer look at the st. The Daugherty long-term care home is one of the hardest hit. Co vid 19 has killed 13 people and infected at least 115. Nurse Silvia Mafia says she is stressed and worried about contracting the virus herself or spreading it to a resident or colleague.

The Quebec government says almost half. Of the kovat deaths 19 have occurred in nursing homes, in response they have begun moving healthcare workers from hospitals and clinics into the homes to help. We know that those most vulnerable to the virus are the elderly, on whom we concentrate our efforts. our seniors residences CBC News spoke with nurses who moved into the home in Laval. They did not want to be identified but said there was little direction, a lack of training and insufficient protective equipment. One described being in a room with 20 infected residents with instructions. to simply try to keep patients alive, another described the patients' situation as inhumane.

Moran says staff are working in an environment that is far from normal for everyone, we can do our best, it is too much, yes, too much to care for in a statement. The health authority said there is enough protective equipment for staff and now a team to ensure prevention measures are followed. Today the government said it is stepping up its response with widespread testing in its long-term care homes and that we are going to test everyone we can. We're going to test seniors, we're going to test staff to make sure we know exactly where they have people covered. 19.

These ironies that sound here this afternoon were a show of solidarity from the police and firefighters. They enter this house fighting to contain the virus. Allison Northcott CBC News Montreal's federal programs are really being put to the test as Prime Minister returns to Parliament Hill today Justin Trudeau arrived in the West Block to attend his first in-person cabinet meeting in several weeks, having been self-isolating since mid-March when his wife tested positive for Kovin 19 Sophie Gregoire Trudeau said late last month he had recovered, but Canada's economic recovery remains in the distant future today ministers set out to show they are doing what is necessary to pump in money where it's needed David Cochrane has the latest on a program in progress aimed at keeping workers on the job it's the largest relief program in Canadian history and it's changing on the fly we want these emergency measures to be as as effective and inclusive as possible, so we are listening and making adjustments along the way, the latest adjustments include making it easier for businesses and charities to prove that their monthly income had fallen by at least 30 percent and requiring only a 15 percent drop. cent for March because the closures occurred in the middle of the month for those companies that said this would not be enough. we fit we make sure they get a better deal and a better deal and to make it easier and more profitable for employers to rehire kurz, the government is provoked and proposes to refund employers' contributions to employment insurance, the Pension Plan of Canada, Quebec.

The main corridor insurance plan and the Quebec pension plan are also already part of the program. Air Canada is participating in the program and will use it to rehire sixteen thousand five hundred employees it laid off less than two weeks ago; that was the exact intention of the wage subsidy designed to ensure if people have income the wage subsidy will also apply to Canada's energy sector bicycle crushed ovid 19 and a price war between Russia and Saudi Arabia this still needs parliamentary approval and the Liberals still They are negotiating the final version with opposition parties, but the promise is to Amend and amend again to help as many businesses as possible.

The absolute goal is to make sure we have all the tools we need to prevent the recession from turning into a depression. The government also wants to protect a company that receives a subsidy from fraud. You didn't need it will have to return it, but anyone who tries to defraud the program will face stiff financial penalties and up to five years in prison. David Cochran CBC News Ottawa Monthly payments of two thousand dollars have begun to be paid to workers who have lost their income due to the pandemic, in fact, some of those who signed up for direct deposit received their payment twice.

It's not a mistake, the Canada Emergency Response Benefit is retroactive to March 15, so the first two thousand dollars covers you until April 11. If you also received your second payment remember that it has to last until the 9th. May, everyone must manage their budget in the understanding and it is $2,000 per month regardless of when that $2,000 is actually deposited, the government has tried to distribute applicants based on the month of Tomorrow's birth is for people born between October and December, so the money is flowing for some, but many students don't qualify for that benefit and their prospects for summer jobs could be pretty bleak.

Today, the government announced a way to shore up its prospects. Here's Cameron. Mackintosh says how he could help even on a snowy spring day. Alex Squire is thinking about summer. He had a job lined up that he hoped would lead to a full-time job for sure now that he's practically gone. A full-time architecture student who will soon graduate.She is looking for anything that can pay the bills, so I think the concern is that there will be no jobs for students today. The Prime Minister promised changes to Canada's summer jobs program. We will now give CSJ employers a subsidy of up to 100% to cover the costs of recruiting students Trudeau says it will fund 70,000 jobs for students ages 15 to 30 and allow employers to retain students beyond the summer , opens opportunity for more employers Lily Lumsden helps match students with employers, says this can benefit both essential services now and businesses that reopen later, students will be able to have jobs, but those employers will also be able to have some support and they will be able to extend those placements, but right now many students who are in school full time will not. qualify for the Canada Emergency Response Benefit because they did not work while in school.

I think this is an incremental measure and will not adequately address the dire financial situation that students and recent graduates find themselves in right now, which is what makes finding a job so urgent for Squier that he worries about ultimately graduating. in a stagnant economy, even if I manage to get ahead financially in the next few months, like what will happen after that. Now, with only 70,000 positions funded, there are up to two million students looking for work. This summer in Canada, the competition for existing jobs will be stiff Cameron Mackintosh CBC News Winnipeg now many of you have been telling us how worried you are about your money, so once again tonight we'll dedicate part of our show to that very topic , financial experts will answer your questions in approximately 15 minutes.

British Columbia is stepping up enforcement of quarantine orders for travelers returning to the province. Anyone entering the province must now have a written plan detailing how they will isolate for 14 days, that plan must be approved by British Columbia officials and, if not, self-isolate. isolation plan, a quarantine site will be prepared and made available to those people until they can recover. Premier John Horgan says the new requirement takes effect immediately, but starting Friday provincial officials will be present at Vancouver Inter

Airport and border crossings just to make sure plans are complete, officials They are really concerned about the number of Canadians coming home from abroad and on those repatriation flights about 30 health care workers at Cape Breton Regional Hospital are isolating tonight after having contact with a patient who initially tested negative but then it tested negative.

If he is found to be infected with Kovac 19, precautions should be maintained with that individual, even if an initial test may come back negative. The province says it is considering ways to bring things back from isolation sooner than the 14 days recommended right now. We simply don't have enough data to tell us exactly when we will see that peak, but it is important for everyone to understand that the more the curve flattens, the more we lengthen it and that is intentional. The Saskatchewan Health Authority says so. It's too early to know when the pandemic will peak in the province, but modeling released today shows officials are planning for between 3,000 and 8,000 deaths and about 20 to 200 intensive care admissions daily.

The province recorded 11 new cases today for a total of 271 people. who have recovered from kovat 19 may be key to helping those who are still sick, as Christine Burak explains. There is a Canadian study looking at whether your antibodies could be the antidote after weeks of isolation. This was the moment Diana Behrendt was waiting for the virus. positive for antibodies and I will donate my plasma plasma is the yellow liquid part of the blood that contains antibodies when a virus enters the body the immune system begins to produce antibodies to attack the infection doctors around the world ask if plasma patients who have recovered from kovat 19 can help cure those who are still infected it is an old treatment that has been tested during other pandemics dating back to 1918 anecdotal data from China is promising the history of the use of this product In some circumstances it is promising, this Chinese study obtained positive results, but there were only five patients who obtained responses.

Canadian scientists will lead the world's largest clinical trial. Every university in the country, every hospital has said yes, we will do it and from the flood of emails I can tell that everyone is working 24/7 to make this happen starting about three weeks the trial will include 1200 kovat 19 patients mainly in hospitals in Quebec and Ontario two thirds will receive infusion of antibody-rich plasma the rest will receive standard care I would say that probably the What we are most concerned about is recruiting enough donors so that we have enough plasma for all. They will need donations from at least 800 recovered patients coded 19 to make it all work.

American patients like Barons have already begun giving their plasma. emergency use take as much as you want it's like donating blood and scientists hope Canadians will roll up their sleeves to help determine whether plasma is a worthy treatment or not Kristine Burak CBC News Toronto a major breakthrough at ground zero of this pandemic 11 Weeks of

of patients. I wonder what will be different here in two years and what life will be like here after the pandemic. We look to the past for clues to the future. We're back. Welcome back kovat 19. has crossed another threshold in this pandemic worldwide, there are now more than one and a half million confirmed infections, almost 1/3 of them in the United States, in terms of deaths, the numbers of The US are in the same range as Spain, Italy and now France, the most difficult. The affected countries lost more than 10,000 people each and China, the country that once bore the most illnesses and deaths, now has the most recovered cases, more than 77,000, so there is some hope in those case numbers and in the Chinese city of Wuhan, as Sasha says. patristic tells us that the lockdown that has been in place there since late January was finally lifted exactly 11 weeks after Wuhan was locked down, its roads and rails opened, flights also started flowing as did so many emotions for those now free that Wang 1qu could not. left her house once since January it was so sudden she says she didn't know she would be trapped for so long yet all passengers in protective suits all temperature tests show Wuhan won't be back to normal soon first city Wuhan is opening now because it's only had three cases in the last three weeks, but fear of the virus fills the place.

It's hard to protect yourself from all those infected people here without symptoms. She says the pain is also too deep to be swept away by a memorial moment of sirens and horns. Last weekend about 2,500 people officially died in the city, although many believe the real number. was much greater many blamed the government for initially trying to hide the outbreak the cover-up by Wuhan officials led to my father's death as Shanghai I need an apology and compensation tonight Chinese state television showed the spectacle of Wuhan bathed in lasers and colored lights and presented as a miraculous recovery, it is actually a sign of what the rest of the world faces when it also locks out sascha petrol 6eb c-- news tokyo British Prime Minister Boris Johnson will spend a third night in intensive care, but authorities say his condition is improving.

I can also tell you that he has been sitting up in bed and interacting positively with the clinical team. Johnson tested positive for kovat 19 about two weeks ago and was admitted to the hospital on Sunday. He has received oxygen but has not required a ventilator in the United Kingdom almost 61 thousand people have tested positive for Kovac 19 more than 7,000 have died now with or without pandemic the US The presidential elections continue, but now without Bernie Sanders he has withdrawn today, leaving Joe Biden free to take on Donald Trump. CBC's Katie Simpson tells us how coronavirus played a role.

Bernie Sanders is trying to achieve what can only be described as the best Bernie Sanders. Sanders, known for being totally committed to his ideals and unwilling to compromise, is dropping out of the presidential race but refusing to remove his name from the ballot. We must continue working to gather as many delegates as possible at the Democratic convention where we will be. capable of exerting significant influence over party platform and other functions unusual strategy ends once-frontrunner's campaign his promises of free health care and college tuition for the revolution resonated with energetic young supporters and celebrity activists alike, but Sanders was unable to grow his base and when Joe Biden began attracting a diverse coalition of supporters, the independent senator knew he was in for a fight that ended when the coronavirus made it unsafe to hold rallies if his campaign, like Bernie Sanders', is fueled of the oxygen of great passionate supporters. who were there in person and the coronavirus just shut it down by not explicitly endorsing Biden.

Democrats fear Sanders could trigger a repeat of 2016 when some of his supporters refuse to vote for Hillary Clinton, feeling abandoned, looking to another outsider. Thank you so much. I got a lot of them in the last election that surprised people, but it didn't surprise me, no, those are great people in terms of their legacy, Sanders has changed the conversation in the Democratic Party by pushing it to the progressive left, some ideas which they may have laughed at. Four years ago there was a serious debate Katie Simpson CBC News Washington goes behind the scenes tonight as Canada's hospitals prepare for a wave of kovat 19 cases doctors here are conducting drills after realizing that, unlike New York, you might actually have time to prepare and in just a few moments we will have our experts joining us here to answer your code. 19 questions, but those about money like this, What do I do with my RRSP?, are fading.

Hello, welcome back, it's that moment in the show where we respond to your kovat. 19 questions and tonight there are financial questions. Many Canadians are now struggling to make ends meet and have questions about where and what help is available. For the personal finance experts joining us, we have Lesley Ann Score G and Kerry Taylor. Hello you two, thank you. By joining us, Kerry, you're going to get us started and here's the first question. My hours have been reduced, so technically I'm still employed, but I don't make enough to live on. What support is there for me?

That's a great question. and there is a known gap: not all Canadians qualify for the Canadian Emergency Response Benefit, they don't qualify for e aí and they don't qualify for the wage subsidy that is coming out, so the government is looking to fill this gap for self-employed workers , contract employees and informal economy workers the other gap is students, so we have to wait and see what the government prepares for these groups of people. Okay, Lesley Ann, next question is for you. I am 71 years old and my pension has dropped 30%. I have no other sources of income, what should I do in this particular scenario?

The government has implemented a new reduction in what you have to remove from your RIF or withdraw from your RIF each year. It's down 25% for older people a little bit more. It's time for their portfolios to recover on the good news, although CPP and old age security benefits are not changing so income can be relied upon. Ok Kerry, here's another question if I can't pay the rent and my landlord isn't willing to budge. What are my options? Well, that's a good question. Well, first of all, you can wait because the courts are closed and all provinces have suspended our halted evictions, so you're safe for now.

The good thing is that you can also ask your landlord to request a mortgage deferral, they just need to call their bank and they can defer your mortgage for up to six months and this will give the landlord some leeway.time to pay the rent. Now most landlords are being very flexible because they know we're in the middle of a pandemic, offering to pay partial rent and budgeting and seeing what you can offer goes a long way toward maintaining goodwill and there are provinces like British Columbia that offer a subsidy to homeowners of up to $500. they just need to apply and it goes directly to them and other provinces may be doing the same thing but the mortgage deferral which is interesting relieves the pressure on them so each of them relieves the pressure on you Leslie and what Do I make my RRSP melt?

If you are young, you can put up with this, but if you are close to retirement you need to make a change in your portfolio. What we always look to do in our portfolios is make sure that we have an appropriate asset allocation and a portion of diversity for what we call fixed income is a portion of cash and some stocks, so if you are young you can ride this out and the investment community is agree that the road to recovery will be long, possibly more than three years, so hang in there, well, Leslie Ann. Carey, good advice, as always, thank you very much for your time and every night we will answer your questions tomorrow.

Our doctors will be back to answer them, so tell us what you'd like to know. Messages directly on Instagram on CBC the National or you can. email us at kovat at cbc.ca just be sure to put the

in the subject line. There is no doubt that our lives have changed during this pandemic, but that change will continue once this is over. Do you think we are in a similar situation? From the situation to a major world war, we then look at how major events from the past change our lives to get a clue as to what our future might be, first though presented in the realm of things we touch and that other people have touched.

Mail and packages are on point. So how worried should we be? Let's start with how long this coronavirus survives on inanimate objects, it's ours today, it depends on the surface, so on something like paper or cardboard, early studies say it's less than a day, so the time that passed in your mailbox may have already been enough to kill the virus, but what about the newly delivered packages? The problem is that people, not things, are fine, you are in more danger by approaching the delivery person than by accepting the package from the delivery person because it is fresh. people's droplets are the problem, so the most practical advice every time your mail was delivered was to go ahead and open it, take whatever is inside out and then wash your hands, welcome back, that's not a euphemism to say That kovat 19 has changed the world, this era probably will.

One day we do a pretty thick chapter in a history book being right in the middle, it's a little difficult to say how that chapter will read, but let's try to compare this crisis with those of the past and how those great upheavals changed who we are. and how we live as people, as cities, as countries, we can sometimes find ourselves measuring life in the days before and after something serious has changed us. This is one of those moments and it is not the first. I don't like the language of war, but I think we are in a situation similar to that of a major world. war Historian Margaret Macmillan of Canada says this country's experiences with world wars always led to more intrusive government and that will probably happen now: we have to get all the resources of society we can we have to get people to work together the government has to intervene in ways it normally wouldn't work the incredible news was rushed to code within the front line the war was over and temporary measures can sometimes last considering the income tax being paid now was introduced after the first world war to subsidize the effort and was supposed to be short-lived, it never went away.

The demands of war in Canada and Britain meant that governments began to have to squeeze resources out of societies and they discovered, to their rather pleasant surprise, that I think they could squeeze a lot more. What we never thought could become something governments came to rely on, new taxes and regulations may be coming now - along with changes to our sense of freedom. Think about life after 9/11 in a matter of weeks. Frightened Western populations accepted restrictions on freedoms in the In the name of security, including strict controls and airports, which are now routine, and I think it may well happen that with the current epidemic we are prepared to have monitoring on our phones so that Our temperatures need to be taken more frequently if we want to defeat the virus.

You know you've changed when a suggestion like that doesn't sound as absurd as it might have a few weeks ago, and what do you think of this? Watching a physically distanced meeting in the park is normal right now, what may suddenly seem strange and unsafe in the era of kovat is how narrow the city sidewalks seem, will they one day be widened because of this? I wonder what will be different here in two years, we will have to start having a more nuanced discussion about density, what types of densities are possibly harmful in pandemics Sarah Jensen cars study how diseases alter our environments what she says for a boost in parks after this, the same way Central Park was developed in New York, designed by an architect who once worked for Public Health when he talked about building Central Park as a way to bring clean air to the city and a place where people could find shelter.

She did it after a yellow fever pandemic in New York. The fresh air that the city craved then and can be defended again. when we get through this and we will, we will also one day see the differences in our lives before and after, we will bid 90, then we will take you inside a Canadian hospital while they prepare for the worst, practice drills and proper preparations. after the break, but first we asked what keeps you up at night, so here's tonight's pandemic diary. Hi, I'm Brittany Tucker and I'm 33 years old. I'm from Cold Lake Alberta. I am a mother of an 11 year old boy.

My daughter and I are currently self-employed. I subcontract to my family's company. We offer car detailing. Our business has been so busy in recent years that we book weeks in advance and since this whole pandemic started we have slowed down. almost nothing and for the moment we are forced to close our doors and now it is like a ghost town here in the last few years we have been through so much and I feel like this could be the straw that breaks the camel's back The only thing that gives me hope is that one of these days this will be over and we will all be in the same boat and we will be able to work together to try to get out of this mess we are in.

Yes, we can all do it. Through this, I'm jamie wa sahlan tomorrow in the foreground of the CDC daily news podcast, the view from Wuhan, China, where the pandemic began and a foreign teenager in the entire city was just lifted after 76 long days subscribe wherever you get your podcasts, hospitals around the world are Overwhelmed by coronavirus cases south of the border in New York has been described as a war zone with patient beds overflowing in hallways and critical supplies running low . Now Canada is still waiting for its peak, but as David Common shows us, emergency rooms are being prepared in a city center.

Toronto emergency department staff are ready. Michelle was notified to the team leader. We have called 555 to obtain a protected code blue within Mount Sinai Hospital. They are practicing what is known as a protected code blue. Katherine Varner leads the response to acute respiratory distress when we talk about a protected code blue, we're talking about a scenario where a patient is going to need additional support to help them breathe, but it includes placing a breathing tube down, recognizes the patient. She is at risk of rapid deterioration and is asking for help performing these trials. Canadian health workers have time to practice, those in New York, the hardest hit, did not and many workers became infected.

What is happening here at Mount Sinai in Toronto is being repeated in hospitals around the world. the country, big and small, as healthcare workers inside try to prepare for the wave they know is coming, so with everyone everywhere again, we'll do it at 95, we'll do a face shield, we'll do it when we do this . a real Kovat patient they use even more protective equipment but since it is scarce they are using practice equipment in a real scenario the entire room could be contaminated there is a risk of what is called aerosolizing the virus, which means that the virus can end very quickly around the room and staying in the room for many hours when there, carefully removing the equipment and leaving it ready for the next patient.

Have more time to practice caring for these patients in our emergency departments, so we can be ready when the patients actually are. We are very sick, very unwell and we need our care, but we can provide our care in a way that is safe for us in Ontario. That wave may be just a few days away, we need two teams inside working for it David Coleman CBC News Toronto and when it returns a special wedding anniversary in isolation how one Yellowknife family managed to mark the milestone together their moment is next first although in his heyday a man can have the respect of Johnny Cash Dolly Parton Bob Dylan this man John Prine the singer and songwriter died last night at the age of 73 after complications due to CO vat19 a legend legends here is some of what he did that Prime Special was special until its last day I would say that John Pines, the second greatest American songwriter of all time, possibly the greatest, I would say is probably one of your Favorite Songwriters Favorite Songwriter and probably influenced a lot of songs that you know and love.

I am an old woman named after my mother. You know, going back to Montgomery's Angel, that song is almost perfect and he's writing from a woman's perspective. and he did it at a time when people didn't pay attention to him. It seems that it is very easy for him to access this level. This level of depth that other people have to work very hard to get to. It seems to just arise. He liked to walk down the street, there was a cafe that was closing. Then John came and played a set in my living room and we invited a bunch of fans and fellow musicians.

John started singing a song you know with these lyrics with something like it's not. Funny how an old broken bottle looks like a diamond ring and I look at Gordon Lightfoot.
