WRONG Prof Kim Woo-joo of Korea University Guro Hospital disagrees. He says 1) Washing hands, and 2) Wearing a mask — are the two most important things that has made South Korea the world leader in fighting and winning against COVID-19. Search Youtube for the video dated March 27 on the Asian Boss channel.
Fact, this is a yes or no question and she didn’t answer it.
@Bryan Pan Fact the title of the video says “Tam: Current evidence doesn’t support public needing masks”
YES. I just commented the same. The South Korean doctor gave an info packed, clear interview. Must see
WRONG! you would need seal tight masks with filters to work or your own oxygen supply. I always new from the start n95 mask dont do crap wearing gloves are enough.
What credibility has to do with wearing a mask? Have you waych what the expert says in South Korea? And which country have more effective methods Canada or South Korea? Evidence and science prove that South Koreas method is more effective, Canada has a lot of things to learn from them.
I no longer believe a word this person says.
On Jan 26th. Dr Tam also said canadians were very low risk to get Covid19. she should be fired.
M T is she Chinese?
Not just fired! Prosecuted!
She should be charged
M T she also said travel bans didn’t help March 1st
Ppl just need to learn how to properly use a mask. It’s not that hard. Just like how to properly wash their hands.
exactly! Just need to teach ppl. PPL CAN LEARN.
They gave most of our masks to china a couple weeks ago.
When you say “they”, you mean the “Liberals”.
What a waste of taxpayer’s money.
i believe that Trudeau gave 16 tons of Canadian masks to China for free. She is out to lunch; would wearing masks be harmful? What is she saying? Who hired her?
Dominic D’Urzo, so. I keep use mask and gloves. I copy the correct infos.
@Sophia Vanvrek masks dont do crap. I always new that gloves are enough
How does she still have a job!!! These are all lies. Masks do work If they didn’t then doctors would not be begging the government to provide more. Every country that uses a mask has reduced the infection rate. Why have science if you don’t use it.
I’m convinced she is a Chinese operative
This person should be fired. “Low risk of having Covid-19 for Canadians” also came out of her mouth.
mary ma, correct. Pay close attention from Italian news. La7 here in Youtube. They follow this kind of “rule”….”health” do not need mask. Who is health nowdays???? We can be, assymptomatic not health. Two masks is better than none.
Sophia Vanvrek: In my opinion, not only masks, but also gloves, are needed in public.
I will never understand this . How in Gods name will a mask not prevent the spread . Someone goes to the supermarket and are a-symtomatic ,they are spreading the virus all over if they are not wearing a mask
You have lived whithout infection so far 🤔
You would have to wear respirator with your own oxygen supply for masks for work I knew from the start n95 masks dont do crap wearing gloves are enough.
They are desperate to downplay their lack of preperation and will lie continuously to do so Those who defend these liberals are actual morons or liberal agents
exactly!
All I heard was excuses
Lmao Taiwan wear masks they have one tenth the death rate 🤔 didn’t Trudeau’s liberals give , that’s right gave FREE 16 tons of medical masks 🤔 yup our nurses and essential workers are short masks !
Lol. Yeah right like two months ago the government said that the covid 19 will not be an issue in Canada! Now check that out. Just by using common sense if you have a mask your chances of getting infected will be very low as you won’t be touching your nose or your mouth. Additionally if you use a 95 one and you install it properly you can also avoid infection through the air.
she has no data or science to support social distancing.. so why are we doing it?
percy johnson she said that about travel bans too 🙄🙄🙄
she is liable to all the deaths in canada
Tam I dont care what you say …I’m wearing a mask.
Covering the nose and face is a remaineder for me not to touch my face with a contaminated hand. The public don’t need a high quality mask. So I think it is safe for me and others to cover the mouth and nose when we go out. Even a cotton mask or piece of cloth that can be washed with soap and water. No need to worry about providing masks for all the public
She still trust WHO evidence……wake up! Learn something from South Korea and Taiwan……Wear masks!
she needs to get fired….
