Omicron is mild!
I say let the weaker virus take hold, and outpace the one said to be serious 🤷
@Richard C …Wont matter We all have Herd Immunity now ..
@Richard C And yes, I’m being sarcastic….just so you know
@Daniel House …Too bad i thought you saw the light…theres still time…….Mass Formation Psycosis…look it up
@Daniel House Sarcastic about what??
“We know the public health measures and we know they work” Except they don’t lol
@Eugenia and Robert Cairns your suffering from mass hysteria.
they don’t work because nobody follows them.
@BriannaFitzy I’ve followed them as much as I could since this all started. Nothing’s changed.
@Frost Gamer yeah because you personally following the measures totally makes up for everyone who doesn’t
@BriannaFitzy The omicron variant is just the common cold with a scary name. How long are you planning on letting politicians micromanage every aspect of your life and take away basic freedoms because you’re scared of of the word “covid”?
Right on schedule! Keep restrictions loose enough to spend your money christmas shopping until it’s time to see your family and friends. By the 20th they’ll be encouraging you to report your neighbors for gatherings.
@Tanya Wieczorek sounds like a great tim Tanya….
No one is going to be able to stop you from seeing your family so chill out, please.
@Tanya Wieczorek Like Home Alone?! Play music and a gangster movie at the same time. Hahaha!!
@josh77577 we can definitely agree on that. I’ll be seeing them no matter how much these talking heads try to discourage it. And they will. “Discourage” doesn’t equal “stop” in case you didn’t know.
I want to call you a batshit crazy conspiracy theorist but you’re prediction will probably be realized in the next few days when Doug Ford comes out with another “My friends” press conference
“The holiday spoiler” lol no the holiday continues on without skipping a beat. Also why implement more restrictions if they haven’t been working?
beauT it is not about yours and my health. It’s about their control.
@Cathy Knott Cathy is SMART !
@Xavier Harding She’s just stating a fact.
Any bets on Travel restrictions coming into affect only after the politicians get home from their vacations?
None. Travel bans are being lifted, not applied
BLAH BLAH BLAH
Yup just like last year where many where discovered on expensive islands probably calling it to work on-line and get paid by the tax payers to boot. Scamdempic very much planned. Best to restrict polluting wasteful private jets travel and cabal meetings of perverted pleasures.
They don’t care if there are travel restrictions. Trudeau went to Bahamas last year and we couldn’t see our families. Rules for thee but not for me.
…on the other hand the symptoms are mild. Oops, did I just say that!
@Happy Camper
Fully vaxxed = Happy Camper
@Richard C how many boosters are you willing to get? Miss one and you are an anti vaxxer
@ARK CON Was that your attempt at being clever?? 😝
@Richard C stating a fact champ, facts don’t care about your feelings
@ARK CON Your “opinions” mean nothing. Gfy
I seriously question the intelligence of anyone that still believes in this rhetoric
Wats happenin?
Wdym
They managed to get the Librals re-elected.. So yeah… There you have it.
It’s just so obvious at this point.
less and less every day
How come they don’t mention what flu strain is going around this year ? They never talk about the flu anymore. Hmmm….
@V. P Sorry… I meant to say. “Its a huge conspiracy…run”…
@Kenneth Surgent was that an insult or a compliment?…..I’m okay with either
@Daniel House you mean sanitizing with hand sanitizer? HAHAHAHAH that is an antibacterial not an antiviral genius. And you don’t have to be a doctor to read the label
@Daniel House Abstract
Background: Health care workers outside surgical suites in Asia use surgical-type face masks commonly. Prevention of upper respiratory infection is one reason given, although evidence of effectiveness is lacking.
Methods: Health care workers in a tertiary care hospital in Japan were randomized into 2 groups: 1 that wore face masks and 1 that did not. They provided information about demographics, health habits, and quality of life. Participants recorded symptoms daily for 77 consecutive days, starting in January 2008. Presence of a cold was determined based on a previously validated measure of self-reported symptoms. The number of colds between groups was compared, as were risk factors for experiencing cold symptoms.
Results: Thirty-two health care workers completed the study, resulting in 2464 subject days. There were 2 colds during this time period, 1 in each group. Of the 8 symptoms recorded daily, subjects in the mask group were significantly more likely to experience headache during the study period (P < .05). Subjects living with children were more likely to have high cold severity scores over the course of the study. Conclusion: Face mask use in health care workers has not been demonstrated to provide benefit in terms of cold symptoms or getting colds. A larger study is needed to definitively establish noninferiority of no mask use.
@Daniel House 50K down to under 100 while Covid was still able to spreadl ike wild fire? You’re grasping at straws
Why isn’t the news covering the massive tax hikes that are going to be occurring on the middle class?
How many times are they going to repeat the same old crap?? Enough is enough already!!!!!
Definition of insanity rings a bell.
Maybe until you “get it”
@Daniel House …Had it..2 day sore throat then it was gone…wake up and live…
The news is mentally ill
Nobody is asking the question: why promote something that doesnt work?
Money talks
Is it your understanding that vaccines are 100% effective in preventing spread and transmission?
@Marcus Williams Don’t ask stupid questions.
@tamewolf then why is there an expectation that vaccines should stop all incidence of disease?
This country blows.
It’s everywhere
@Deeds lol
Then move
@Sam Schmidtke I’m not allowed to travel so how tf can I move ? Do you have rocks for brains? I’d rather live in Haiti than this cesspool yet I’m being held hostage.
@Sam Schmidtke it’s illegal to leave the country by any means. Where could he go?
How can anyone with a brain not see what’s going on .
cognitive dissonance.
@dw LOL
Because not many have one
I ask myself this more often than I’d like. I hate how all these tyrannical health aficionados speak… I wish someone would slap thier soft spoken teeth out. Nuremberg 2.0 can’t come fast enough.
💯
Wonder if more Canadians are tired of being “protected” by these political and health authorities yet. Perhaps they could do a little research on the data coming out of South Africa regarding Omicron before ramping up the panic machine.
@chud67bbc How could you possibly understand it? You already made up your mind.
@Stacy Thompson Go forth and multiply. Maybe your herd will go extinct quicker.
@Cody Perry And how would you know that? From Resident Evil, The Farmers Almanac, or the King James version of the bible?
@Murray Cooper based on?
@Murray Cooper If ideocracy proves anything. the world is screwed because idiots breed like rabbits.
“we know public health measures work” say that 3 times in a straight face to the camera and I’ll believe you
I still won’t believe
Omicron.. the ‘ mild cold ‘ that isn’t fatal.. more nonsense.
We have an existential crisis in our leadership
It will never stop until we fight back.
No mention of the crippling inflation. Because it’s by design
Unvaccinated are not the problem, look at who got it and where they got it…
