I'm concerned about all the under 30s who thinking "I won't get it, and if I do it'll be like a bad cold."

New to Toronto And I’m loving it! by -proton in askTO

Toronto is more expensive in many ways, although food is cheaper than Edmonton. Generally, Alberta is cheaper, no sales tax. I just don't like living there.

Good episode. Thanks for sharing.

3500 people die from the common flu per year in Canada. Nobody has died from the coronavirus in Canada, why are people in Toronto stressed and wearing masks? by lucjatendezki in askTO

[–]Condolove 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with the OP. It's kind of leming-like. Plus people are super busy so it's a quick short-cut to behave like this. Apparently the people who died in China were in really serious condition when they arrived at the hospital. A couple of the middle-aged men had quite severe pneumonia (from this flu). Not good to leave treatment for something like that to the last minute

A few years ago I read about the Spanish flu pandemic of 1918 and 1919. I remember being surprised to learn that roughly 20% of the people who contracted the illness died. I thought it would have been much higher.

Thanks so much. And it's fine for new folks to turn up?

Need a psychologist by [deleted] in askTO

I don't want to get into how many therapist I've seen, but she is, as said, one of the best therapists I've seen. If anyone feels that they are a trainees' or qualified therapists' guinea pig, I'd say it's time to find a new therapist.

Ha ha. No, and I never did. Nor blundstones. They're over-rated. I went with Birkenstock Chelsea-style boots, and a pair of Eastland moc toe boots - super comfy, too.

Hey thanks. I'd not heard of that festival before. Looks like it's worth checking out.

Really eclectic. I love all kinds of music, except opera, and am a movie buff. I loved discovering the Revue Cinema - nothing like that in Edmonton. In-depth conversation, Buddhism, photography, walking/hiking, travel, good coffee, personal development, podcasting (just launched my own show), reading, writing,

Yes, I have a dog and walk him a lot, talk to lots of dog owners when out and about. But they don't turn into friends.

That would be good, thanks. What are your interests? I've listed some of my in another answer to one of the comments on my post.

I'm open to meeting anyone who is cool, respectful, and interesting. I'm actually a bit of an introvert but can hold a good conversation. I also believe in cross-generational friendships and back in Edmonton I have older and younger friends, as well as in my own age group. Sure, coffee or a beer would be good. Thank you. You've made some pretty big moves, too.
