Years ended April 30, 2019 and 2018We draw attention to Note 3 in the financial statements, which indicates that the
Entity has insufficient cash to fulfill its contractual commitments and to fund its
planned business operations over the next 12 months.
As stated in Note 3 in the financial statements, these events or conditions, along
with other matters as set forth in Note 3 in the financial statements, indicate that
a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Entity's ability
to continue as a going concern.
They might just be the guys who have found a new way to squeeze a snake to get the right oil out.

Most of these companies are looking for a big pharma partnership or takeover. Hitting a home run on their own highly unlikely. I think they are always looking to attract a partner or buyer and if their drug positively affects covid then mission accomplished. Good news. 

Actually percentage wise, this company was a top 30 gainer on Toronto Stock Exchange last year. However shares were and are still cheap. I have my own rules when I buy these stocks and I’m not real heavily invested. Like anything there’s a risk. I keep an eye on it.

Hopefully this 15 minute video by a Michigan doctor won't make you paranoid, but it might be helpful. It's about coronavirus on food from the supermarket or takeout.

He says that despite our shelter-in-place orders, we are all still going to the supermarket. And supermarkets are risky places in a pandemic. So spend as little time in the market as possible and have a plan about what you are going to buy when you go in. He recommends buying two weeks worth of food a trip to minimize trips.

One new thing I learned is that coronaviruses hate microwaves. So microwaving your food should render it safe. But freezing food doesn't help because freezing doesn't bother coronaviruses at all.

The big danger with food isn't viruses in the food itself so much (coronaviruses don't like food) but rather viruses left on food packaging by humans that handled the packaging. You can wipe down plastic, glass or metal containers with common spray disinfectant found in most homes. Cardboard cereal boxes typically have the cereal in another bag inside the box and if that bag was ever touched by human hands, it was so long ago that the viruses aren't active any more. So throw away the outer cardboard box. If things come in a plastic bag, pour the bag out into a clean bowl or something.

Lots of other tips.

Well my pregnant BC daughter is happy to get her husband back from 14 day isolation today. So is their 2 year old. Daughter's a month away from having our 2nd grandchild so at least there's one less worry. She still has concern over a pending doctor visit this week and then the hospital end of April for giving birth.

Seems like people getting comfortable with social distancing in Canada. Don't hear many complaints but there are still a few morons out there. Don't personally know anyone that has/had it. Our area here still free of the virus, lots of precautions in effect everywhere. I think if you sneeze outside the police will show up.

See, he even said that it was airborne. Like I said earlier, the findings on aerosol is inconsistent with the World Health Organization and the CDC’s position that the virus is not transported by air. If it is airborne, I don’t see why it wouldn’t be similar to other viruses that have the potential of being stirred up like dust. I would also recommend to try to minimize aerosolization of dust during clean up and disinfection. I even found a paper suggesting the same thing. 

Quote:The virus aerosol deposition on protective apparel or floor surface and their subsequent resuspension is a potential transmission pathway and effective sanitization is critical in minimizing aerosol transmission of SARS-CoV-2.

I think this is bullshit…
Routes of transmission COVID-19 is transmitted via droplets and fomites during close unprotected contact between an infector and infectee. Airborne spread has not been reported for COVID-19 and it is not believed to be a major driver of transmission based on available evidence; however, it can be envisaged if certain aerosol-generating procedures are conducted in health care facilities. World Health Organization.

Mode of transmission: Early reports suggest person-to-person transmission most commonly happens during close exposure to a person infected with COVID-19, primarily via respiratory droplets produced when the infected person coughs or sneezes. Droplets can land in the mouths, noses, or eyes of people who are nearby or possibly be inhaled into the lungs of those within close proximity. The contribution of small respirable particles, sometimes called aerosols or droplet nuclei, to close proximity transmission is currently uncertain. However, airborne transmission from person-to-person over long distances is unlikely. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

This is from the article that I posted earlier. 

"SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV exhibit high levels of transmission in healthcare settings, in particular during aerosol-generating procedures. More than half of those contracting SARS during the 2003 pandemic were healthcare workers.

As of early February 2020, more than 3,000 healthcare workers were believed to have contracted COVID-19 in China, and at least 6 died.

These data, along with recent US reports of healthcare worker infections in long-term care facilities and employees on cruise ships, are suggestive of both short- and long-range aerosol transmission in healthcare and other workplace settings." COVID-19 Transmission Messages Should be Hinged on Science

Well, we know that’s not true. No offense intended but let’s try to keep things real in here, okay? If you’re speculating, say that you’re just speculating.

BTW, I hope you guys know that the UV radiation myth, is just that…a myth.

I also heard that Trump issued an order that allows the Pentagon to callback former U.S. troops, the National Guard and Reserves back to active duty. I never saw that one coming. Sad

Two dogs now and one cat infected with COVID-19.

"Recently, the veterinary medicine faculty in Liège reported that a coronavirus infection has been determined in a cat. The cat lived with her owner, who started showing symptoms of the virus a week before the cat did," said Van Gucht.

"We want to stress that this is an isolated case. There are no indications that this is common. Additionally, in this case, we are talking about a human-to-animal transmission, not the other way around. The risk of animal-to-human transmission, is very small,"he added.

"A second dog with an infected owner has caught the coronavirus, Hong Kong’s animal welfare authority confirmed on Thursday."

https://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/heal...second-dog

W.H.O

Can I catch COVID-19 from my pet?

While there has been one instance of a dog being infected in Hong Kong, to date, there is no evidence that a dog, cat or any pet can transmit COVID-19. COVID-19 is mainly spread through droplets produced when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or speaks. To protect yourself, clean your hands frequently and thoroughly.

How am I supposed to know that? You didn’t post a link. You didn’t say that you read an article, a report, a study or anything else. Pretending to know about something is a sign of ignorance. Stop making showing pretenses and we won’t have a problem.

Prime Minister Trudeau’s wife back in circulation. She’s out of quarantine at least. Not sure if Justin will leave home soon for any reason, like work. I think he’s performing well through this and I’m not a fan.

Look at the date on the post and try rubbing a few brain cells together. Quit making dumbass assumptions just to fuel your need to be a snarky twit.
