  1. 0:45 covid related conditions are the same for other infection like influenza and other coronaviruses even bacterial related pneumonia. So these are not confirmed just assumed by by (conditions) symptoms?

    1. The average number of Americans dying from the common flu varied between 12,000 and 60,000 in the last number of years. Close to 350,000 in 9 months this year is nowhere close.

  2. You keep saying it’s really serious and we have no more beds and we have to cancel surgeries. Yet you never close the borders despite weeks/months of warnings, and are deciding to bring in 400,000+ undocumented immigrants/refugees in a year.

    1. Border closings are not the issue or solution. The epidemiological data does not support travel related infections as being a significant source. The proportion can be seen graphically on any of the daily Ontario reports. There is already PLENTY of COVID-19 in Ontario and residents are giving it to each other.

    2. The person interviewed is not a politician but a hospital administrator. He has no power to close borders or I am certain he might have done so.

    3. @silentdissent immigrants are valuable and contributing members of society often doing jobs you probably don’t want to do.

  3. The problem here is that you’ve sounded the alarm so often that nobody cares anymore. See how that works? Can’t wait for the next Tik Tok dancing video showing how busy the nurses are.

    1. @Joanna Ferrara They’re not going to name them, but as someone living in a hard hit area of Toronto, I can tell you of 4 Hospitals filled to OHIP capacity with Covid cases. The Covid cases are kept in a separate part of the Hospital, not in regular rooms. Grow up.

  4. The boy who cried wolf 🐺 7 months from the last til the new, the healthcare system was broken before Covid 19. Who do we blame?

  5. With dozens of variants of covid since they discovered covid in the 1960’s, 40% of colds and flus every year being one covid strain or another, and tests for covid only testing for antibodies not covid strains, it’s no wonder that there are so many positive tests for covid.

  6. I treated my corona without pharma. I suspect that the corona cases are highly underestimated and survival is extremely high

    1. Awesome! You have a great immune system! Can I suggest you donate blood? COVID cases need transfusions. Every bit helps!😀💗 In case you are wondering, I give blood too and I asked the question and they say Yes! The COVID cases do need transfused blood.

    2. As someone with asthma, I am sure I will survive if I get it, but I worry that it can make my asthma worse for the rest of my life..

    3. the authorities are idiots. Covid 19 has no chance if taking 2 grams of vitamin C every 1-2 hours and 100,000 iu D3 daily. Basically taking C and D3 as drugs.

  7. It would be nice to report that at 300, the numbers are half the previous max and work out to one case per Ontario hospital.

  8. Hypocrisy everywhere, no consistency, no logic and everyone will suffer because of it. Well…everyone expect the very rich and politicians of course.

  9. this life is temporary but Jesuchrist is life and the eternal life
    is the way to heaven read st John 14 : 6 , Romans 10 : 9 and 10 🌸🌷🙏
