  1. Personal responsibility to keep you and your family safe is the reason.

    Edit – This lady being interviewed is ridiculous.

  2. Consuming a plant based die, exercise and controlling your weight has nothing to do with racism.

    1. Tippi Vegan4Life
      I bet you are wrong about that. There is definitely a relationship between diet and a person’s income.

    2. @Chris Valin You can eat healthy on a budget, there are thousands of youtube videos about it.

  3. Why are you trying to distract Canadians of all races from the real issues and concerns they have?

    1. Everything is racist, my left foot is racist, it whispers anti-semetic jokes, it’s really inapropriate.

  4. I would have bet my life that the argument was going be about racism. Of course the imbeciles won’t take responsibility for their own behavior by not paying attention to physical distancing. How many videos have we seen of them gathering for parties during the covid-19 crisis and now with the protests?

  5. Is she stupid???? Virus are not racist. If you have darker skin you intake less Vitamin D, which comes from sunlight. Vitamin D is also a major Vitamin in fighting COVID-19. It makes sense that it would happen.

    1. Are you stupid? Viruses aren’t racist but neither are weapons. Both are used consciously and deliberately to maintaining exacerbate racial inequality. If these multisyllabic words infuriate you then you should do some reading, but you won’t because you don’t have to.
