After closing ICU beds and trying to cut costs in health care in previous years you wouldn’t have this problem today. The government’s own fault and now they blame it on COVID cases instead of themselves. POOR GOVERNMENT
This has been the case all across Canada! I thought everyone forgot about the lack of funding hospitals have received for years! @kevin hill couldn’t have said it better!
I agree. We simply weren’t prepared for a public health crisis.
PC=cut,cut,cut,cut
@Max Power It would be interesting to see how enabling more of a market-oriented approach to healthcare would aid in addressing unmet needs.
I still believe in a publicly funded healthcare system, but allowing private entities to play a greater role could prove beneficial.
Funny these new surges are in direct line with the mass experimental mRNA injections.
We can all sleep better now knowing the idiots are in charge of things.
Thank you Thunder Bay!!!
No problem. We have barely any cases ,so we can help.
Yeah me!🍺🎈🎉👯
We get what we vote for
LOL! I saw a video where your state government is running 45 cycles for the PCR test. Hope you Canadians survive.
Lol
Canada has a “state government”?
Huh?? Covid test is causing deaths???
@Andrew Webster Also last week, the Government of Manitoba’s own witness acknowledged under oath in court that the positive test results being used by authorities to justify lockdowns don’t actually verify COVID infectiousness.
Chief Microbiologist and Laboratory Specialist Dr. Jared Bullard also said that these PCR tests were never meant to diagnose respiratory illnesses.
That’s right, these test results, that drive the case counts, which are the justification for lockdowns and liability free biological products, are not accurate.
So Ford has been saying our hospitals r full that’s why we r in lockdown. Now we know why
The number of so-called subscribers says a lot
🤔😮☺️
Yessir. Talmud.
There has only been a small increase in deaths from 2019 to 2020 and it is the EXACT same increase we have had over the last 10 YEARS. In other words there has been NO UNEXPECTED INCREASE over the last 10 years. What is going on?
You have to consider we had lockdowns and borders were closed around the world. If those measures were not in place, there would be a lot more death.
Changed a word.
@Ocean le Evidence please? Although I respect your opinion, correlation doesn’t necessarily imply causation. Texas opened up in March and 0 deaths since that time. Florida is pretty much the same. And cases, many of which can be false positives, do not mean deaths. I echo tammy koble’s question by
asking, “What’s going on?”
Spotted the Covidiot.
@Pierre Delecto In the mirror?
I cannot believe how incompetent the government is and how they have mishandled this entire situation. Literally feels like children running our country.
I haven’t been alive too long but I know the show is operated by puppets.
I personally think that children would do a better job
666k subscribers LOL
That’s fitting lol
Trudeau and the federal government never even met with premiers to discuss a national strategy. It was just bunted to the premiers. Clearly this mayor has his eye on the Premier’s job. Wouldn’t surprise me if he ran for the Liberal leadership for the next provincial election.
That’s exactly what’s going on.
How about calling out the PCR tests set at 43 cycles – that just might put a stop to your case surge………………..what a sham!
there is rapid test available in 15 min
Lol, right, the icu’s are filling up because they were improperly tested? Critical thinking is not really a daily part of your routine is it.
@Andrew Webster
ICU’s are ALWAYS full, or heads will roll… and it’s NOT covid dumdum
@Greg Stark Your internet conspiracy theories outweigh the experiences of all the ICU workers, all the testers, all the political parties, all the other countries dealing with this. Cuz that makes sense, right?
@Keith Klassen last week, the Government of Manitoba’s own witness acknowledged under oath in court that the positive test results being used by authorities to justify lockdowns don’t actually verify COVID infectiousness.
Chief Microbiologist and Laboratory Specialist Dr. Jared Bullard also said that these PCR tests were never meant to diagnose respiratory illnesses.
When’s the next election??? Gotta vote these fools out ASAP
The federal Liberals who did nothing to secure our borders and allowed all the variants in? I agree!
Yet no use of cheap effective medication to mitigate hospital stays
Bowman should be ashamed of himself. Clearly he doesn’t have a grasp of current health restrictions as demonstrated in his interview on a national program.
Hey, Bowman. Have a look at the data on known cases/contacts. Looks like an incredible amount of spread on city transit! What are YOU going to do about that since city transit is your responsibility.
Well said Kit .😎
These surges are in perfect line with your vaccines 🤫
Exactly…obviously no one does the research…..🤕
oh my, someone is awake???>?
I am disappointing that our major now blames others
