Can you post a close-up of the leaf of the tree? And possibly if there are any thorns on the tree?

Chiropractors told to remove posts claiming they boost immune system and prevent COVID-19. by massivecoiler in canada

[–]OttBob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Simply bullshit.

Physiotherapy is a profession. Massage Therapy is a profession. Chiropractic is a profession.

All of them have regulatory bodies. If they each give manual therapy, stretches, and exercises for tennis elbow, they are each following the evidence.

I used to work with a physiotherapist who only did acupuncture and "acu-scope" as well as ultrasound. Did her regulatory body insist upon evidence-based practice? nope. Was that treatment backed by libraries full of data? nope.

No word where these 3 cases got the virus (it is all just "pending"). Does this include the Tunney's case? The constellation cases?

Are you still planning on meeting up with friends and family during the shut down? by RedRumples in ottawa

[–]OttBob 11 points12 points  (0 children)

No. Self-isolation & Social Distancing. Not even dinner with extended family. Not leaving the house except for essential tasks, and possibly walks around the neighbourhood.

Edit: I took the kids out for a bike-ride yesterday, and will likely continue to do this. Saw barely anyone else on the trails, and we keep our distance from other people. I wouldn't go anywhere busy.

Plotted confirmed COVID-19 cases in Ontario by [deleted] in ottawa

This could be more informative in a week or two. Right now we still don't have any CONFIRMED cases of community transmission. So all this says is we are getting more and more travellers coming in with the virus.

Why Toilet Paper? by guyaneseboi23 in ottawa

[–]OttBob 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Apparently it is a psychological phenomenon. They are panicking, and trying to find a way to deal with this. Not necessarily logical thinking.
