Dr. Sumon Chakrabarti says although it's likely there will be a fourth wave of COVID-19, he doesn’t think it will spark more lockdowns.

I have a crystal ball…we will have ongoing variants and lockdowns until we are in a sad dystopian future…wait that’s not the future….omg fellow citizens
Liar.
I take that as an absolute win!
@Deafharp Any doctor who does not admit or acknowledge that COVID is seasonal is not to be trusted.
@Primmakin Sofis Seasonal COVID? Don’t trust doctors but listen to the armchair epidemiologist with no formal training or experience. Got it!
@Per Llyngrenn I guess you missed the MANY experts who have said COVID is seasonal. I guess you missed the DATA ITSELF which shows or strongly implies this. One tiny example:
April 24, 2020 = date of spring active case peak in Ontario
April 19, 2021 = date of spring active case peak in Ontario
A five-day difference out of a year. Heck of a coincidence. Then add to that how cases in entirely different jurisdictions at similar latitudes had their cases decline at nearly the exact same time despite entirely different measures in each jurisdiction. Heck of a coincidence again.
@Primmakin Sofis And your non-imaginary epidemiological credentials are…? I’m not sure why you think anyone would trust your less-than-comprehensive analysis.
So why not just ban international flights and bail out the airline industry. Surely it’s cheaper than shutting down a whole economy? Gov’t have to be purposefully playing stupid at this point!
Stupid? Government fascists have been running the show all along.
I’ve been saying this from the start..
Can’t end. There is too much debt in the system. The bankruptcies and foreclosures will cause huge homelessness. The only way to avoid it is by playing pandemic and imposing emergency measures. Thereby they can print enough fiat currency and hand out stimulus checks to keep the market artificially afloat as long as possible devaluing our savings and earnings.
Cant wait for lockdown 4: tokyo drift
faster and furiouser
That would be AWESOME
@Sarah Lunafire
Calm down sir ,
Lockdown 4 will be as bad as Superman 4
Ah… that series is at #9 right now…..
Can’t travel to different provinces, but we have no problem accepting international travelers.
Still trying to understand the logic here.
I get Instagram ads saying ” extend your stay in Canada, sign up for online schooling to become an international student!”
If you want my opinion. Start planning your escape from here. Canada will be a literal shadow of what it once stood for. It is being systematically destroyed.
@マーティンOfficial sorry i don’t remotely believe you and i am automatically sceptical of government sympathizers
@セ千尺ㄖ丂セ international students can bring only spouse and children less than 18 yo.
When the devil’s controls the country they do things what normal humans don’t like
Soft pitch for more lockdown and ford extended the emergency till December this is never going away
Yup oppressive governments never voluntarily hand over their power, never has happened, never will
@Wayne Hornby guess we’ll have to take it by any means necessary
This covid wave is neverending, wave after wave.
@Dallas Devam Amazing, yes, the pandemic and the medical community is Marxist. Would love for you to define Marxism without having to use a search engine.
@Kevin what’s your point? Try it yourself then compare it to current events.
@Kevin Karl Marx was for eliminating Capitalism. That’s exactly what is happening in Canada and the rest of the world.
A troll is somebody who disagrees you without an argument to refute your point or dies not present an argument to back up their disagreement, but only attempts to get an inflamed response to condescending or insulting empty remarks; Kevin, you at that.
it’s an ocean 😉
It won’t spark more lockdowns because the one we are in won’t be over before it gets here. Same lockdown, just longer. Nothing new here.
Alberta has already met the criteria for removing restrictions. By end of June we will be fully freed.
They called me a conspiracy theorist for saying this would happen.
Me too, screw them all, I can take care of myself and I prepared.
@Richard Dixon
Calm down Rocky 4
Yeah me too bro
The new name for “conspiracy theorist” should be “spoiler alertist.”
Or something like that…
@Aria Kendal definitely going to be using this one thank you
we are the borg resistance is futile you will be assimilated
ok. these clowns have had their 15 minutes of fame, they. can go back to hiding under their beds now
This wave will be a rainbow wave, turning Canadians into their true selves, Americans. Then the real Party can begin
The more you deal with doctors the more you find out what they don’t know.
There will be eternal waves because it’s here to stay, now let’s open up and get on with life
Exactly Correct
but that’s racist/sexist/homophobic/fascist/whateverismostconvenientforusist.
@Bale Bondforgot to use the words, systemic or problematic or marginalized or equitable to name a few lol it’s called the language of madness
What a CROCK!
And after the 4th wave we”ll still be hearing about a 5th wave…it will never end.
Maybe but herd immunity is the key.
But double cherry cheese cake mix with lemon my friends wave 33
until the right time for … ONE WORLD GOVERNEMNT…
Thats what they say every time. Enjoy your summers everyone cuz we’ll be back into lockdown in the beginning of fall
I’ve got an idea. Let’s all go out tomorrow without a mask and see what the experts do about it.
I live in a county (demographic 70% over the age of 70) where if I did that in my grocery store here (I never wear a mask outside, only in stores once every 2 weeks) they would refuse to serve me at the checkout, detain me by force against my will and then I would be arrested and fined by the Quebec Provincial Police.
We don’t need anymore hack doctors predicting gloom and doom. Where do they find these dorks?
We need more experts who deviate. We’ve had our fill of shills.
