A married couple in Quebec who are both doctors and both tested positive for COVID-19 say their diagnoses show how little we really know about who is infected and long the virus stays with them.

Dr. Michael Quigley, an ophthalmologist in Montreal, first started noticing mild symptoms three weeks ago. After initially testing positive for the virus, he still showed coronavirus particles in recent testing.Quigley’s wife, Dr. Janet Wilson, a family physician, started showing a mild fever and runny nose on March 20. Wilson said that she’s been lucky to have had only mild symptoms since the diagnosis.

“I’ve talked to many people who sound like they probably have COVID, and they don’t meet the criteria to be tested,” she said. “I would like to tell everybody that everybody is potentially infected and we don’t know who is positive and who is not.” Given the virus has remained with Quigley for longer than the expected 14 days, he believes there’s still much to be learned about the virus and the best practices for slowing the spread.

COVID-19 emergency checkpoints strain long-standing free movement between provinces‘By limiting entry and exit, public health authorities believe they can further limit and prevent the spread of COVID-19’ Quebec has the most number of confirmed cases, but then they block the entry of people from Ontario. They should do the opposite : restrict the exit of Quebecs to other provinces, which can help reduce the spread of the virus. Time for the separation of the WEST. No more free movement between provinces but Canadian borders that are open caused no concerns?!?!?!
