Former Montreal Canadiens enforcer Georges Laraque's biggest challenge is trying to breathe clearly as he fights COVID-19 at a Montreal hospital. "The nights are the worst. I have fevers a couple times a night. I have to get up and take pills."

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Sunday that NHL players would — at a minimum — need to follow quarantine protocols if they were to arrive in Canada while the border remains closed due to the pandemic.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford says the Toronto Maple Leafs' parent company has been in contact with the province about the possibility of Canada's biggest city serving as a so-called "hockey pod" for teams should the NHL resume its season.

Provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry says there are ways to safely host NHL games in Vancouver if the league goes ahead with resuming the season in a small number of hub cities.

The sport is considering radical rule changes as it tries to balance centuries of tradition with the modern need to move things along.

The men's curling world championship in Glasgow was cancelled Saturday morning to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Brad Gushue and his rink from Newfoundland and Labrador was going to represent Canada after winning the Brier.

The Kevin Koe curling team has split with second Colton Flasch after being eliminated from the recent men's national championship in Kingston, Ont., in a tiebreaker game. Flasch joined the foursome in 2018.

The bonspiel took place in Edmonton March 11-14, starting the same day COVID-19 was declared a global pandemic.

Laurie Garrett, the prophet of this pandemic, expects years of death and “collective rage.”

Join our Facebook live on Thursday at noon with Dr. Roselyn Wilson a psychiatrist at St. Joseph’s Healthcare Hamilton’s Youth Wellness Centre. She'll talk with us about how COVID-19 is heightening anxiety in some young people. We'll talk about how to help the young people in your life through the pandemic.

Flattening the curve has been so successful and two areas around Hamilton — Brant and Haldimand-Norfolk — haven't had a new case of COVID-19 in three days, and Burlington has only had two.

The province says no one has to tell others if they get COVID-19. The same goes for businesses or landlords, should employees or tenants get sick. But should you tell?

Government restrictions designed to limit the spread of COVID-19 have virtually crippled Ontario's wine-making industry, as retail and wholesale revenues dry up but the costs of producing wine remains constant.

Fears that COVID-19 would spread at the Hamilton-Wentworth Detention Centre appear not to have materialized — at least not yet.

Curbside pickups offer a bit of hope after months of being shuttered by COVID-19, but while retailers are happy to start getting back to business some are raising questions of fairness and access to opportunity.

A Toronto law firm has filed to launch a class action lawsuit against a Niagara Falls long-term care home where 18 residents have died from COVID-19, saying the home had a pub night in the midst of the pandemic.

Sofina Foods plants in Burlington and Mississauga have each had an employee test positive.

A search warrant executed by Hamilton police vice and drugs officers at an address in the city’s east end has resulted in the arrest of a couple and multiple charges, police said in a Friday release.

Dr. Roselyn Wilson, a psychiatrist at St. Joseph’s Healthcare Hamilton’s Youth Wellness Centre, offers some tips to help young people cope with the stress and anxiety they face while on lockdown under COVID-19.

Determining the concentration of protein samples generally is accomplished either by measuring the UV absorbance at 280 nm or by reacting the protein quantitatively with dyes and/or metal ions (Bradford, Lowry, or BCA assays). For purified proteins, UV absorbance remains the most popular method because it is fast, convenient, and reproducible; it does not consume the protein; and it requires no additional reagents, standards, or incubations. No method of protein concentration determination is perfect because each is subject to a different set of constraints such as interference of buffer components and contaminating proteins in direct UV determination (A₂₈₀) or reactivity of individual proteins and buffer components with the detecting reagents in colorimetric assays. In cases in which protein concentration is critical (e.g., determination of catalytic rate constants for an enzyme), it may be advisable to compare the results of several assays.

FSI Briefs No 5, April 2020. In response to the Covid-19 pandemic, governments have launched guarantee programmes to support bank lending to companies, especially small and medium-sized enterprises. This is essential to avoid a sharp contraction in bank credit that would exacerbate the pandemic's adverse impact. The design of such programmes needs to strike a difficult balance between responding promptly to the pandemic and maintaining a sufficient level of prudence. Key features of a sample of programmes (eg target beneficiaries, coverage of the guarantee, loan terms, length of the programme) reflect this tension. Incentives were created for the banks to join these programmes by exploiting flexibility in existing prudential requirements, while central banks have often provided liquidity support. Programmes are, however, subject to operational challenges and, ultimately, fiscal capacity limits.
