Yea heard about that reservist from USA being blamed as patient zero.  I still believe it came from their wet markets.

Same. Evidence points to the virus having mutated to the point it can infect humans by way of the Pangolin. Pangolins are considered a delicacy in China and the scales are used in traditional medicine. Pangolins are heavily trafficked from Africa.

But the other way around makes sense. Reservists bringing in back to the USA where it could slowly start spreading. It also makes sense that it could stay undetected so long as covid19 wouldn't effect them all that much, younger age, all fit and healthy athletes.


Another symptom to look out for in kids

The Canadian Paediatric Surveillance Program (CPSP) is warning doctors and parents about skin changes on children's feet or hands as a possible sign of COVID-19 infection.

A public health alert issued to pediatricians identifies the bluish-red and purple lesions -- dubbed "COVID toes" -- found on the toes and fingers as a possible symptom of COVID-19 infection, predominantly found in children.

Pediatric emergency physician Dr. Dina Kulik told CTV News Channel that the lesions look similar to pernio, commonly referred to as frostbite, and can hurt or feel warm when touched.





Quebec might be holding off school openings a while longer. Covid19 out break has been discovered in a day care for the children of essential workers.

The daycare centre — an emergency childcare service for essential workers in Mascouche — was closed on Monday, Dr. Richard Lessard said in a virtual news conference on Wednesday.

Mascouche is 50 kilometres northwest of Montreal.

Twelve out of 27 children contracted COVID-19, as did four employees, Lessard said. No one was hospitalized.

Because of an increase in the number of COVID-19 cases in the region, the Lanaudière public health department is postponing the reopening of schools and daycare services in three regional county municipalities: Joliette, Les Moulins and Assumption.

They had been scheduled to reopen on May 11. Their doors will now reopen on May 19.

A week extra, that will solve it...
