They're open (with reduced hours, looks like 10am-6pm) but have workers doing all the scooping for you, something grocery stores probably can't handle. Although I was at a Fortinos yesterday and the bulk section was still open there.
Although the Bulk Barn isn't somewhere I'd visit in the current climate, it is still a business I've frequented in the past and will continue to in the future.hockeyfan1 said:CarltonTheBear said:Bill_Berg said:Is Bulk Barn open?

Be careful when taking bulk items. It?s been ages that I no longer shop at a Bulk Barn Store. My late brother and I used to do so ages ago but we eventually stopped after I felt unwell after having eaten some of these bulk foods.
You never know if they?re really hygienic with so many people scooping out and opening the containers. Unless certain foods ?chocolates, for example ?and only some come pre-wrapped, I would avoid anything else.
This precaution would also apply to any other grocery store that sells bulk foods (Fortinos, etc). Judging from what I?ve seen, nothing much has changed in the way bulk foods are stored.
It?s up to you the individual (and if you absolutely need to), otherwise would I prefer to avoid.

Having worked in the food industry for 15 years, it really drives me crazy when people blame "not feeling well" on a business. Unless you can pinpoint the salmonella you got from eating something that was contaminated, don't drag a business through the mud because you got a belly ache.

Seriously? Your sense of distance bodes well for keeping your distance if you think this is 3 feet.TML fan said:Having a press conference, sitting 3 ft apart from eachother, telling us to stay home and social distance.
These are our leaders... :
I would rather shock people into compliance like they do when you watch drunk driving videos than giving a false sense of security by reporting only or more strongly the deaths of the old. The young dying, but also importantly, getting sick, are all vectors for this thing to spread because to them it's not a big deal. Just look at the idiot spring breakers in Florida.Stebro said:I don't know how the media reporting is looking over there, but I'm starting to get annoyed with media here, it's like they're all looking for the youngest people who have died. The headlines here everyday is pretty much related to that, and people are getting very worried about that. I think that the media should at least make it clear how unusual it is that young people die in this disease. It may not serve public health to do what they do now. Yes, it's important to be careful and have respect for this virus and follow recommendations and rules, but I also think we need some perspective.

The London Police were called to a city owned golf course after complaints of people being on the closed course. When they arrived they found that someone had cut the fence. There were thirty young men playing golf. They were given a warning and sent on their way.No charges were laid. I guess the scare tactics aren't working.Stebro said:I don't know how the media reporting is looking over there, but I'm starting to get annoyed with media here, it's like they're all looking for the youngest people who have died.

"My orders to the police and military ... if there is trouble and there's an occasion that they fight back and your lives are in danger, shoot them dead."
If you are young and think you are immune to COVID-19, some doctors would like you to pay attention to the following message:
"While COVID-19 is less likely to cause serious symptoms in younger people, in combination with substance use like vaping or smoking cigarettes or cannabis, it could pose a serious health threat," says a March 24 commentary written by Dr. Nicholas Chadi and Dr. Richard B?langer of the Canadian Pediatric Society.
They are among the public health experts sounding the alarm about the possible connections between lung damage caused by smoking or vaping and increased vulnerability to the novel coronavirus.

"It's part of this idea that young people have that they're bulletproof, that these things are for older people. Well, this is about changing that attitude, and doing it very quickly," he said.
There is evidence that smoking not only leads to respiratory diseases and chronic lung conditions, but also suppresses and harms the immune system, "so that when people do get sick, they have a harder time fighting it," Hammond said.
