  1. I’m still confused how all the mass protest in the past few months were deemed not to have an affect on the infection numbers

    1. @Chris Hudson Are you dim? What you are suggesting is that the virus sows up spontaneously indoors. You know you’re fibbing. No, don’t come back with more nonsense.

    2. How are you still confused? This was cleared up months ago. It doesn’t spread nearly as badly outdoors as it does indoors. What are you still confused about?

    3. CV-19 is dead in Wuhan. Thousands packed INDOORS at water parks. Shoulder to shoulder without masks. No distancing. Wuhan is back!

    1. 1. Most protesters wear masks when they are protesting unlike most idiots that have no reason do not believe doctors (I should know my aunt is one)

      2. It’s hard to contract the virus outdoors where it’s more ventilated than indoors which isn’t

    1. @Yolo Swaggins Vancouver #1 place to live in the world, suck it, kiddo. There are cranes EVERYWHERE in Vancouver, only NYC and SF have higher population density, kid. Stay triggered.

    2. @Yolo Swaggins You can’t even go out to enjoy the night life in toronto without wearing 10 layers of fleece, kid. I can wear just a tshirt in the winter in Vancouver.

    3. @KIDDO TRIGGERED XBOX BETTER How many of those homes and properties are owned by foreign ownership? Vancouver might be a nice place to live but If you actually want a practical place to live, with access to pretty much anything you may ever need, Toronto is far better. Also If you ever want to be employed, Toronto is far better. Stay triggered kid

    4. @Yolo Swaggins Vancouver is better in every way and I wouldn’t live somewhere where I have to stay inside because it’s like the arctic outside in winter. Stay triggered !
      Go enjoy the maple leaves golfing, kid. At least Vancouver gets playoffs.

    5. @KIDDO TRIGGERED XBOX BETTER Atleast Toronto has more than a hockey team. Atleast were a global city. And winter is great, not something I would ever trade in for permanent mild weather. Our summers and cottage country are also way better

    1. Interdimensional Steve it’s all BS …. they are trying to keep the fear alive by disguising influenza as “something new”. It’s a Hoaks on a global scale

    2. Matheus Moreno sorry to hear, but you were misinformed: it was pneumonia brought on by complications from the flu. With all due respect, they were already sick

    1. Shammy M u ignorant, they have a guts to protest, they have a courage to fight for their rights, it’s not about the nationality, but about the people’s freedom.

  2. Number of cases is useless as a statistic, what about testing? testing accuracy? %Positive tests at risk of dying? What about population density? Most importantly, what is the economic damage of the lockdowns and mandatory masks… What is the impact of Covid on regular patients whose surgeries are postponed?

    1. @websurfer1994 I’d love to hear any argument from you. For real. What’s kool-aid about that ? These are legitimate questions. In the end, the important number is the excess of deaths compared to previous years. The number of cases is just a smoke show.

  3. Pretty impressive how Covid in the bar is just insanely contagious as compared to during left wing protests?

    1. @DoYouThinkForUrselF No, if you’re infected, YOU stay home. You have no right to make others ill.

    2. @Call Me Ishmael “COVID is not an automatic death sentence should they contract it.” Yeah, and when they make others sick?

    3. no one wears a mask indoors and it’s easier to catch in closer spaces. Everyone at the protest wears mask and try to social distance as much as they can.

    4. @mark jo Municipal by-laws are that anyone entering an enclosed _public_ space wear a mask covering mouth and nose at all times.

  4. Do these health “experts” really think it’s realistic to get to a situation with zero cases for any length of time?

  5. I would just like to take this time to declare my eternal appreciation of Haiku poetry, Moosemeat steaks and Cats.
    That is all, carry on and see you next week!
