  1. What is the average length of stay of a Covid patient by variant, by age, by commorbidity? Why is there no public debate on these measures. If you are going to make such sweeping enforcements to the entire province you should be very clear on all of the data. You know the information and yet in two years you are not sharing it. These so called journalists are a joke.

    1. I was wondering if you are serious when you say a politician should understand the information they are putting forth. Surely you are poking fun at them by pretending you believe that they believe what comes out of their mouths.

    2. They don’t have one photo or video of any hospital being packed. In fact, go online and you can see the numbers for yourself. Please Wake Up. 🙏🙏🙏

    1. I’d hate to be the guy who scrolls it for him. Because if you think he can handle that foot pedal on his own you are crazy 🙂

  2. Fire more nurses and keep over working them then wonder why you hospitals are overwhelmed then tell everyone its because of covid. Forget about paying them appropriately

    1. @Timothy Bayliss over worked under staffed. Have you talked to any nurses lately there not to impressed.

    1. 1) Protest lockdowns. 2) Civil disobedience – stop wearing masks indoors. 3) Voting – There’s no PPC in Ontario. Del Duca’s Liberals and Horwath’s NDP want tighter restrictions. They wanted to lock down before Christmas. Ford is our best vote (sadly).

      Spread word.

    2. @Louis We need to vote ndp to rally for a better candidate for the CP than commie-ford for the next election.

  3. Well, our 4th closure. Already so many businesses have closed permanently. If we make it through this one I’ll be surprised.

    1. Do you see what they’re doing in Europe when they make these vaccines mandatory there’s riots on the street there’s Mass protests these guys don’t know what the f*** they’re doing with my life it’s mine not theirs what I do with it is my own responsibility not some clown that doesn’t know what the hell is really going on.

    2. They don’t have one photo or video of any hospital being packed. In fact, go online and you can see the numbers for yourself. Please Wake Up. 🙏🙏🙏

  4. 1% huh? What percent of our citizens die from alcohol, tobacco, processed foods and prescription drugs???? ALL of which are legal and easy to access!
    Can we see a pie chart please?

  5. Do we have stats on who is being admitted to the hospital/icu? Age, underlying conditions and things like these non important things…

    1. There is some data on the Ontario govt cv19 site with hospitalizations by area, # in hospital, # in icu, etc.

    2. @Jordan Thebeast95 lmao it’s mostly the vaxxed dude . Do your research. They’re the only ones allowed to go anywhere or do anything so guess who’s spreading it?

    3. Yes, there is. If you can’t find them using a basic google search, you couldn’t make any use of them anyway.

  6. If the hospitals cant handle 1% of patients… imagine what would happen in a real deadly pandemic!!! 2 years and still not prepared, pathetic

    2. @Miguel GC Correct, do you expect them to wait till it IS a huge issue? The idea is to do something about NOW before they fill up.

    1. @AnubisPatron So you are saying >98% didn’t dislike then. Thanks. I guess only about 1% are so childish they think the number of dislikes means anything at all.

    1. @Ron Pillar politicians mispronouncing words has been funny since Bush Jr. it shows that they are no better than the common person and in fact if you knew what they did behind closed doors you can see the vileness in their eyes and you start to hate them..

    1. Obviously, you aren’t paying any attention to New Zealand nor to Mongolia! Both closed their borders and limited their exposure to Covid!

    1. Why do you think Trudeau went after legal gun owners prior to the lockdowns coming into effect. This whole fiasco was planned long again.

    2. Insane is right!! You guys got that Curfew from 10 until 5 in the morning!! That’s absolutely ridiculous!!

    3. They don’t have one photo or video of any hospital being packed. In fact, go online and you can see the numbers for yourself. Please Wake Up. 🙏🙏🙏
