Here in Canada, it's clear there is community transmission, but it seems that the assertive actions by different levels of government may have a positive effect. Authority is quite distributed, with the federal government having limited power over health care, which is constitutionally assigned to provinces. However, the PM has been very visible on the issue (and is personally self-isolated since his wife returned from the UK with the infection), and doing daily updates from outside his house -- while actually doing child care for his three kids with his wife isolated in a single room, and no nannies etc on hand. Oddly reassuring in a way, to see a government leader apparently very much in the "everyman" role. And provincial and municipal authorities seem to be singing from the same songbook.
Supermarkets have been sold out of a variety of things, but I think some stability is emerging, as the directives from all levels of government are to maintain social distance, and people appear to be doing that. We can still shop, which I did as recently as yesterday, and all is fairly calm. I did notice lineups outside the local cannabis store, but not outside the liquor stores. How weird it is to say that. In our house in the country, we're hunkered down with a supply that should do us all right for as much as two weeks (after yesterday's shopping). I'd been scheduled for knee surgery today, cancelled of course, so we had been mindful of supplies. No hand sanitizer, of course, but since we have no contact with others, not a big deal. R.
