  1. How is it that the video contains audio, whether you call it music I don’t know but it sounds awful and I just turned the video off. Somebody needs to learn more about what they’re doing. That background noise is just awful.

    1. If trudau will say that the virus spreads by farts, and that everyone needs to wear diapers. ……all Canadians will obey

    2. I had wet muddy farts that exploded like bombs just a few days ago. If someone was standing behind me, it would explode in their face.

    1. its still propaganda…. its in air for HOURS just by BREATHING ALONE….. and surgical masks are garbage they leak huge….. DO NOT use public transport… Get ebike or kn95 MINIMUM spec masks.

    2. @greenboy312There was better info in January, for those who were paying attention, it wasn’t much of a surprise.

  2. So Winter is coming and they recommend we wear 3 layer masks so our faces keep warm. Science!

    1. let’s put an L2 first aid guy in TAMS POSITION to give Canadians better medical advice than DR TRANSVESTITE Has .
      NON MEDICAL MASKS – ARE FOR NON MEDICAL USES like sawdust

  3. Why is the government using the idiots guide to human biology and the idiots guide to particles when crafting their recommendations?

    Did these idiots fail basic bio? Maybe they just fail at common sense.

    Also the lack of specificty in the types of materials and filters seems rather… amateurish. Maybe we should get a grade 12 science classes recommendations. I am sure they would be far more comprehensive.

    1. Lmao I have finished my grade 12 biology within the 90s. I have been saying this since the beginning of this virus that it seems airborne and stays in the air 😂 Our government is a joke

    1. @awilkynson They’ll say that an education is teaching you WHAT to think, when in reality it’s teaching how to learn to think for yourself and critically analyze. But they’re already predisposed against higher education so it’s not worth it to argue in the comments.

    1. no not under current WHO and CHYNA guidelines, it has to be an ineffective cloth mask that stops literally nothing.

  4. Funny, I’ve been sick twice since January and somehow I’m still alive… Must be a miracle.

    But yeah keep that fear mongering going. Anything to distract from the WE scandal.
