    1. Yes, it is, but unfortunately, it’s necessary because there are so many idiots who have to constantly be treated like toddlers, so blame them, not the experts who have to waste their time repeating themselves.

  1. Dr Tam doe’s not seem to realize that she has made herself irrelevant with all of the mis-information she has spread
    Nobody takes what she has to say serious
    Don’t wear a mask , wear a mask , don’t close border’s , close border’s , etc etc
    If Dr Tam wants to help Canadians , she should resign

    1. Gee, I wonder why they haven’t been right about anything. I don’t suppose it could be because this virus is _NOVEL_ could it? (In case your vocabulary doesn’t extend beyond second-grade, novel means new.) It’s a new virus, so we can’t use much existing information about its affects and have to figure it out as we go, thus, everything keeps changing as new information and data rolls in. Duh. ¬_¬

    2. @- they did not close the boarder too China and shut the economy down . use it as a cover to all their corruption and it spreads the same as any other Flu nothing Novel about it

    1. @Tokunbor Thomas we know what you saying but it trigers the indoctrinated they live in a bubble of seeing racism everywhere and when they do venture out on their keyboard to insult everone with diffrent opinion they lash out

    1. @- Incompetence is the inability to accomplish something successfully; ineptitude. And in Tam’s case; the shoe fits perfectly. FLIP-FLOPS!

    1. Maybe not to you, but to the idiots who keep having big parties and not wearing masks, it’s not obvious because it requires having a double-digit IQ to understand.

    1. What the hell are you talking about? What’s a lie, that more contact equals more and faster spread? If that isn’t obvious to you, then you should probably go back to kindergarten and learn to finger-paint; posting comments on the Internet is beyond your abilities for now. ¬_¬

  2. also id like to add that social distancing is not happening in my neighborhood…i constantly have someone on top of me coughing…if something isnt done about the disgusting ones that play in the garbage and refuse to wash thier hands are all over this city!! they go everywhere…they will be our undoing!!! they donot care…i was told by someone the other day ,when i asked for them to step back they said they hoped i died and everybody like me….i was upset by this…they hope to spread this disease some of these haters
