    1. @name What’s your equation? Mine is zero restrictions means more cases. Mores cases equal more hospitalizations. Insert case fatality rate, more hospitalizations equal more deaths.

    2. @Michael Bruno well when travel restrictions lift (relatively speaking) then move to Florida, there will be a glut of real estate for sale. In fact there is about 196866 homes for sale currently in Florida, and that number is only going to go up ⬆️ }:]

    1. Yeah his voice and lack of emotions make him seem like a psychopath. Considering he doesn’t care about mental health, he probably is one

    2. @E Huang oh I never thought of that, I thought he was just lacking in charisma and bad at public speaking. Now that you mention that, you know who is totally flat when talking? De villa. She sounds so robotic, emotionless. She horrifies me too

  1. Not to worry 1-2 more weeks max we will be 4000 plus per day then they will put the lockdown in place. It’s the same every wave open up business make some cash then slam it shut again.

    1. Not sure why there is no oversight on this.
      Lockdowns should have to pass with clear goals and very limited time , like 2 weeks. Then when it’s opened, it takes more time to lock it down again, with more oversight, and again with a definite time limit.
      This whole weekly ‘open/close’ is an abuse of power and is insane.

    2. @entItyVR yeah, theres zero accountability and oversight. Notvto mention no options for those harmed by lockdown. Thi is is insanity.

    3. @entItyVR Government is helpless and we would do the same thing if we were in their shoes. They are trying to minimize the economic damage encountered by small and medium businesses by opening whenever they can. But COVID is no mood to listen.

  2. His job is secure, what does he care about others’ right to earn a living? Lockdowns have been proven to be USELESS and counterproductive

    1. You don’t need a source, Words on paper don’t make things “Proven” the actions and things you see do. Since we like paper so much though lets do this. Willpower is proven to be limited right? So what happens when everyone is forcing themselves to stay inside when they don’t want to? There’s your source. Oh and that’s only part of the reason why lockdowns don’t work.

    1. Which one. There’s more highly paid (tax dollars – our money) experts on the news every night that I can’t even tell who is who and who they work for!

  3. Doctor Karim Kurji of York region totally disagrees with Michael Warner … and Eileen De Villa, don’t see her much on TV anymore

    1. Karim Kurji also has been suspending kids with no notice for the past 20 years for not getting the flu shot…

    1. @Subordinant you can laugh at your own “jokes”, but it doesn’t take anything from the fact that you just post some thoughts on which you clearly have no background. “flu cases are down 99%” “Americans don’t do any distancing” “There are doctors who say the opposite” . No sources, no research. Basically just useless dross. Subordinate indeed.

  4. they are delaying non covid help on pei and we have ZERO hospitalizations after more than a year.

    1. It’s about taking away your Divine Rights as a free, conscious, critical thinking and independent Human.

    1. Not a year. A year of off and on with no vaccines. The vaccines are starting. There is light at the end of the tunnel. We will be through this soon.

  5. ive never been so depressed in my life. and im a healthy young guy,. cant imagine what this is doing to others.

    1. @Apostate You tell a depressed citizen that they should have been powerful enough to have the pandemic under control?

      How about letting nature take its course, and getting on with our lives.

    2. Work out at home and try therapy. It worked for me. Dealing with this lockdown a lot better than the others.

  6. I’m sure it’s easy to say to keep things closed when your job is not at risk. I’d like to see anyone who’s work has been stopped to see if they believe we need to be restricted.
