After being exposed to the virus that causes COVID-19, it can take as few as two and as many as 14 days for symptoms to develop. Cases range from mild to critical. The average timeline from the first symptom to recovery is about 17 days, but some cases are fatal. Here's what it looks like to develop COVID-19, day by day.
A lockdown may be necessary because some folks will not follow the rules. People will continue to need goods and services. Some businesses will fail but others thrive. If we do not heed the warnings some businesses will fail, regardless. Not because of a recession but because owners and key staff are dead.Not down playing the seriousness of this virus, but for those calling for a "lockdown" across canada for everything but non essential businesses, do you understand the economic impact of that? We are already going to be in a recession but now your talking depression and most likely irreversible damage to our economy. Unemployment of over 50% and likely higher. Business going bankrupt and people losing there lively hoods and homes. You think the money the government is offering will do anything to stop that? Nope just soften the blow slightly for some. But most will fall through the cracks and not qualify for any of the money the government is offering. As of right now any business owners dont qualify for anything. Its pretty clear this will be months not weeks, and with a huge portion of people living paycheck to paycheck and are one missed paycheck away from insolvency, this is a disaster of epic proportions in the making. Even large businesses like hotels have said if this continues for longer than a month over 30% will go out of business. At a certain point decisions will have to be made whether to reopen businesses and risk spreading the virus or accept the economic disaster thats already started.

So there's 20 new cases plus whoever they all infected when they went home each night. What a disaster.The lack of testing in BC seems to be a problem, and is leading to underreporting of cases. Example below:
My sister-in-law (SIL) works in a cramped office of approx 20 people. She's now at home sick; likely a case of COVID-19. Here's her timeline:
March 4: co-worker 1 feels sick and goes home
March 10: co-worker 2 has asthma and feels sick, goes home
March 12: SIL feels unwell with chills and extreme fatigue...keeps working
March 14 (Saturday): co-worker 2 has breathing difficulty and is admitted to hospital
March 17: SIL comes to work even though feeling awful, works full day
March 18: SIL stays home, has terrible cough and extreme fatigue with fever
March 19: SIL phones 811 line, is told to go to Urgent Care. Goes to Urgent Care and is asked "why are you here?" and is sent home
March 22 (Sunday): SIL's company calls her to report that Co-Worker #2 has confrimed case of COVID-19, also that co-worker #3 is sick and the office will be closed for 1 day for extra cleaning.
So there's 20 new cases plus whoever they all infected when they went home each night. What a disaster.
