    1. @ub2bn sure. but, what about when your in the grocery store and it knows what direction your going, and in which isle your in.

    2. @xenogen xaris indeed, this is why they need to get rid of the arrows… Our movements have become more predictable, and the virus knows it. Sometimes I’ll walk backwards, just to confuse it. Seems to be working! ; )

    3. @ub2bn your absolutely right, this thing gets smarter by the day, fauchi says we are locking down till the end of 2021, we are going to need to play whack a mole.

    1. william hunter Exactly! It almost killed him. It’s no joke. We are screwed either way. Things are never getting back to normal. The old way of life was totally unstable and covid just accelerated the inevitable. If you want to survive get off grid, get self sufficient NOW.

    2. In BC it came in with travel. So I don’t know if Belarus is a major transport hub or has a large population of ppl traveling on from hot spot areas in the early weeks/months of the pandemic but that definitely makes a difference.

    1. No a virologist. You need to know how the virus works and is spread. Not the patterns of how it’s spreading in society.

    2. Marilyn Cicuttini considering they spoke with an epidemiologist, how is there no credibility? I didn’t notice any fear-mongering here either, just a suggestion on what we should do to reduce the impact in Canada as much as we can.

  1. if the vaccine works, and you take it while I refrain, then you have nothing to worry about. however, if it doesn’t work then you probably do have more to worry about than I do.

    1. zev bronshteyn prob covid, since that is a influezna, which is transmitted through nose and mouth, rather than other thinking

    2. @Joe R no hes referring to the fact that a rushed vaccine that doesn’t even work will have negative side effects you tool

    3. Literally my saying as an individual it’s like my own slogan it makes no sense bro if everyone has it and I don’t want it and it works why are you so scared that I don’t have it

  2. They say 74% of the population like how the pandemic is being handled. Must be the retired folk with money. Did the pollsters hit all the nursing homes and asked what they would like done? I’m also tired of listening to fear mongering doctors.

    1. @william hunter That’s it, and that’s why the next wave will be gathering the so-called sick up, placing them in quarantine so we can not see “the forest through the trees”.

    2. ​@Media is the true virus Then it would make more sense if you were also in support of protective measures. Unless all that was just pretense for your idea that you’re too young for the virus.

    3. RealLiveDinosaur I have a parent in a nursing home. I’m actually a front line worker. I just know who this virus affects, and those who don’t.

    1. Shill account alert 🚨 you guys are always trying to bring trump into every little thing, it’s borderline obsessive. Go get therapy.

    1. @Thought Crimes And your medical credentials are…

      A double lung transplant recipient is considered a survivor. Perhaps you should get a grip.

    1. This so called pandemic has done only one thing help the large corporations to shut out the small guy. So much for freedom

    2. He never said shut down the restaurants. It is about dining in the restaurant. There always an option for to go.
