    1. It’s also a common public speaking technique to slow your speech to focus on emphasis and clarity.

    1. Central banks run the planet..politics much like religion just a mechanism to divide the populace. Works fantastic!

  1. Apparently believing the CDC’s fatality rate is for “conspiracy theorists” and “the experts” make outrageous overestimations based on nothing which are to be believed implicitly.

    1. No, conspiracy nutters look at the CDC report and totally fail to understand what it is saying. It’s too complex for their delicate brains.

    1. All voting locations are closed due to COVID-19. No further elections will be held until we’re through the pandemic.

  2. How are we to pay off all this spending? This reminds me of a young kid getting a new credit card to pay off the last one…..

    1. @davidbrennan5 Sweden also has about 1/4 the population of Canada, so if Sweden had the same population of Canada they would have about 22,000 deaths. What a stupid thing of you to say.

    2. @buttdog420
      Sweden’s population is also more compact in less space. Canada has huge spaces with more low population areas.

    3. @Pray Unceasingly Compare it to it’s neighboring countries like Norway and Finland and you’ll see Sweden is still much more worse off. Not sure why you guys are trying to argue against this, the stats aren’t on your side so why even try argue against it?

    1. @garbour456 Small businesses and small profit gyms are now going to suffer while corporations thrive or will be there later. If a large business does not, they can file bankruptcy and be saved, the small guys can’t.

  3. Population of Ontario 15,000,000
    Number of patients currently hospitalized with COVID-19 225
    (0.000015%)
    Number of patients currently in ICU 47
    (0.000003%)
    Number of patients currently in ICU on ventilator 29 (0.000002%)

    1. @KevinScrim Also testing is a huge issue rn because it is inaccessible. Do you happen to live under a rock?

    2. @Arnav Chaturvedi How is that relevant? can you do simple math? do you know what the test positivity rate is?

  4. Because we all know that cinemas have been a major outbreak area🙄🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️. Pathetic. 5 years from now when our lives have been completely turned upside down and we are knee deep in an economic depression like never seen before, all of you pro-lockdown nervous nellys will be the first to complain about how crappy everything is.

    1. How does it make ‘zero sense’? This isn’t stage 1, it’s stage 2-lite. Go do your homework Doug and stop crying

    2. @MY DOG CAN PUT YOU IN A HEADLOCK At least I know capitalization and spelling.
      And I know what’s coming, which is why I think these covid policies need to be resisted whenever possible.
