it had better because we want to get this bloody crisis over with so that everything will be back to normal like the way it should be and we all can start hugging our friends and shaking hands again
it will be here for ever next wave is diaper time and goggles.
@John B you’re bluffing
canadians need to improve their hygiene
I think we all want that, brother. For anyone who think Covid-minimizing or ignoring is the answer on the path to normalcy, take a look at South Dakota these days.
@Per Llyngrenn Their hospitals are basically empty
This isn’t working. They should give up on this project.
You have no power here China
Stupid Bill Gates/China project BS! EVER!
To the Early Squad Reading This: sending Virtual hugs to everyone who needs it. Always stay safe 👐 read my name btw thx bye ok..
😂
Sorry fanatics science is real.
@toronto daddy Every time you prove something wrong your one step closer to truth
@Bung Chuggler Look up how the virus works it messes with your Tcells thats how your body detects and directs threats your body uses Natural Killer cells to destroy pathogens and cancer its like a chemical burn from the inside out when its directed against your own tissues, thats autoimmune disease. It is not just a flu.
@Billy Anderson lol. So scientific
@Billy Anderson It’s a cousin of the common Cold. Cheers
I don’t see COVID going away. Seems like it really sore’s in the cool weather.
It’s a seasonal virus.. “flattening the curve” just happened to coincide with the end of flu season.. somehow this is all our fault.
cold weather is the reasons why this CRIMINAL GOVERNMENT/POLITICIAN/HEALTH OFFICIALS are taking Advantage of to portrait that cases are spiking. AND THAT’S BS!! why in India, many cases had gone up because of the Diwali Festival and it’s a HOT WEATHER in India… ALL THESE REASONS ABOUT THE 2ND WAVE, UNDERGROUND PARTIES, GYMS, SMALL RESTAURANT BUSINESS ARE THE COST OF THE INCREASE OF CASES ARE A BUNCH OF BULLCRAP!! MADE UP BY THESE CRIMINAL GOVERNMENT/POLITICIANS/HEATH OFFICIALS!
Yeah
It’s. A. Glorified. Flu.
Which is perhaps why cases of regular old influenza have all but disappeared from Canada and elsewhere.
Wrong
@MG3 Proof??
Do you think that the strong promotion of the flu vaccine this year in addition to the public health measures intended to reduce Covid transmission might be playing a small role in the reduction of flu cases? What say you, Armchair Epidemiologist?
@Per Llyngrenn No. Less than 50% get the flu vaccines. Cheers
Really….wow..what a revelation….truly amazing….my ten year told me this 5 months ago…. Jesus Christ what a farce this is..
If it’s unlikely, then why the draconian measures and destruction of the economy? Ohh, we know why.. and can see through your lies.
I guess health repercussions and mortality mean nothing to you…because it’s happening to someone else, right?
Money, power, control. The 3 things needed to control the masses. And don’t forget fear. Cheers
@Per Llyngrenn 34 million Canadian’s, according to the government website Canada has 300,000 infections. 0.88% of the population. lock down the old and most vulnerable.
Covid goes away when you turn of the ‘news’
@Andrew We all care about staying clean and all. But at this point the government are literally run by criminals. This needs to end now.
@Andrew That’s 4 year old logic. Have you seen what happens to smoke when exhaled through a surgical or cloth mask?
@iah48 If you had taken high school chemistry or biology you’d know smoke is made up mainly of carbon molecules. Significantly smaller than viral particles.
@Andrew Tobacco smoke as it comes from a cigarette is an extremely concentrated aerosol with a relatively stable distribution of sizes ranging from 0.1 to 1.0 micron, peaked between 0.2 and 0.25 micron.
COVID 19 virus particle size is 125 nanometers (0.125 microns); the range is 0.06 microns to .14 microns.
@Andrew four year logic like BLM.
This means masks and social distancing forever! Say goodbye to gramma! I hope she is tech savvy.
Probably just until the vaccine is made, make sure to get it to prevent this from happening again.
It sounds like you’re already accepting DEFEAT and GIVEN UP while ‘the last stand’ from the population haven’t started.. Why don’t you FIGHT BACK! or/and RESIST!
@RoomofCybertron …what?
No!!! Be very afraid! Hide in your homes indefinitely!
No, i’m NOT GOING TO HIDE AT ALL, I’M GOING TO INVADE WERE THE VACCINES ARE STORED AND SET IT ON FIRE!!!!!!!!
Can COVID-19 ever be completely eliminated?
idk!
will the Chinese stop eating bat soup?
Lmao equality. All roads lead to thottery.
Hey, thots make the world go round.
Disappointed in this doctor and all involved in this 😕
Why him? He told the truth youtube has been hiding
He doesn’t even look like a professional doctor.
@RoomofCybertron he looks more like a paid script reader
@The Incredible Sulk lol, we’ll he sure is a CERTIFIED SCRIPT READER LIER!!
COVID-19 will become just another seasonal illness because, let’s face it, it’s close enough to one anyway. It’s a coronavirus, aka a strain of influenza. We live perfectly fine with existing flu bugs, we don’t live perfectly fine with on and off restrictions and lockdowns with no end in sight.
But if I close down my business , I’ll go bankrupt…. I’ll lose everything I have worked for for the last 30 years…
DON”T YOU LOVE YOUR GRANDMA ?
She die 5 years ago…
THEN….THEN…WHAT ABOUT MY GRANDMA
Lockdowns forever are obviously the rational solution then
We can’t even eradicate diseases we have known cures for thanks to anti-vaxxers. Unfortunately, our society is being held back by morons.
Influenza has been eliminated so I can’t see why covid can’t be eliminated also.
