  1. the words is could die, another words, it is not certain, so have hope and let hope it will not going to happen,

  2. My common sense (sorry I am not a medical anything) tells me that it is Not the dynamic data that we should rely on. But every single case (both confirmed and probable) should be taken seriously and take 100% sure prevention against it spreading to another single person. You cannot risk Canadian people’s lives by asking patients to take initiative to do self-isolation. It is very dangerous to the public.

  3. What they’re trying to do here is convince you that your Liberal government has done a GREAT job protecting Canadians …. The only thing further from the truth is Dr. Tam , herself

  4. Just like 22,000 Could have been saved had the Government Closed the Borders Months ago while Banning all Travel from China.

  5. 22,000 to 50,000 deaths from a virus that’s showing signs of waning at least in the first phase, with the second and third waves of virus typically being far less traumatic?

  6. New Zealand did it better, full shut down for a month with real closed borders. Canada, list of essential services would choke a pig, flights still coming in, really strong measures yes, National shut down for 3 weeks, police, health care, pharmacy, grocery, transport, fire, operating. Schedule people’s shopping times by date of birth, and from 10am to 2pm. 3 weeks and likely done.

  7. There’s a big difference between the virus coming from a Wuhan Wet Market and the Wuhan Biological Safety Level 4 Lab across the Street from the Wet Market. One means China is not responsible and the other means not only is China responsible, but indiscriminate mass murderers. Everyone needs to drop the wet market crap and get with the program. Could be a lot of $$$ at the end of this road if the right Narrative wins.

  8. “ the risk to get the virus is low in Canada”
    “ we are well prepared for the outbreak”
    “ wearing mask is not going to prevent the virus”

    Now “ 22,000 Canadians could die”
