    1. sexnotchocolate well there has been a recent uptick in cases across several provinces, which could mean a huge wave is coming

    2. The stupid thing is the news channels keep calling these highly educated doctors experts, when we all know the real experts are the high school (maybe?)graduate YouTubers in this comment section.

    1. shizuokaBLUES Look them up. They are all in the public domain. Just do a simple google search or the like for national daily COVID deaths, and look at the numbers. In Sept, thus far, we are averaging in Canada 3.4 deaths per day. THAT is not a pandemic. That is incidental deaths.

  1. I wonder when they will make mask wearing mandatory 24 hours a day?
    And install cameras in your homes to make sure you are complying?

    1. All these fools should be put into “isolation centers”. Propagating crimes against humanity. You will all pay in the end.

  2. Why did you repost this video under a new title? “Epidemiologist on whatā€™s needed to help curb COVID-19 cases” not clickbait enough for you?

    1. @Decent Angle rabble rabble, clickbait bad, who’s watching in 2020? There you go, I copied the 10 year olds youtube comments so you don’t have to steal them anymore for likes lmao.

    2. @websurfer1994 you know how I know you’re no older than 12? Cause you think I made that comment for “likes”.

    3. @websurfer1994 You obviously care since you’re replying to a random comment on YouTube. You can be smart when you grow up to be a big boy one day don’t worry

  3. Maybe one day they’ll back up some of the BS with some science. Must be in Love with Trudeau. They can watch cuties together

    1. The truth will set you free I never get vaccines and I rarely get sick but sometimes anyone even you can get a cold and thatā€™s what this is a glorified cold

  4. They’re reposting the same covid videos under different names because they’re being disliked into oblivion. This is great. No one is buying your forced narrative anymore.

  5. the “case rise”? you mean the number of _total cases_ that the MSM is always referencing? the number that can ONLY. GO. UP.
    the number that isn’t relevant to anything, because it includes cases from as far back as January. it includes everyone who recovered fully.
    there is a reason they don’t tell you the _CURRENT_ numbers, and that’s because those numbers aren’t frightening whatsoever.

    1. Or better yet, they dont talk about the death rate! Case numbers mean nothing- we could have a 100% positives for the entire population, but if every person is asymptomatic, then it’s not a problem!

    2. @Account ____ Public Heath ontario is inflating death numbers by 50%, from they website:
      Reported deaths were inflated to assess the impact of potential under-detection of COVID19 deaths. An inflation factor of 50% was chosen since, on average, several European
      countries reported under-detections of 50% in an analysis conducted by the New York Times.

    3. @gurgly walrus That too! There is so much evidence that points to this whole thing being blown out of proportion to manipulate the masses.

    4. The vast majority of the deaths are attributed to a secondary cause – a pre-existing medical condition either respiratory or cardiovascular.

    1. Probably because you don’t have as many loudmouth hicks out there. I see you’ve had the pleasure of hearing from some of them. “An empty can rings the loudest” and all that.

    2. I go by the wikipedia article that’s posted daily as a chart : Current Active Cases :Atlantic Provinces 13.Saskatchewan 83.Manitoba 238.Alberta 1,444. BC 1,461 Ontario 1,769. Quebec 1,873.The provinces with the largest populations are going to have a higher number. The best recovery of cases (per total cases) is best in the Atlantic Provinces (94.8%) and Saskatchewan (93.7%). ON,AB & Quebec are all around the 88-89%mark while the recovery in BC is 75.7% and Manitoba at 72.3%

    1. It doesn’t have to be that way. I’m ready to fight. I’m ready to make more fighters too. Look into christopher james. A warrior Calls.

    1. “we’ve managed to find a way to circumvent our chief medical officer of health, who does not favor these interventions”
