Its only more contagious. IE more transmissible. Thats the path of mutation into LESS dangerous strains. The cold is extremely transmissible, but not very dangerous.
@Andra Book most corona viruses do this. What the hell do you think the common cold is? 4 corona viruses circulate in Canada every year. Not deadly.
@Tidbit patently false? Stop breathing
@Tidbit well no, actually you are ignorant. It is a fact of virology that when viruses mutate to be more transmissible, they tend to evolve to a less lethal variant.
@Tidbit bro I got smacked lol
@Tidbit They just Said its nearly undetectable and shows almost no symptoms
No explanation given on methodology of how new strains were discovered. CDC still hasn’t isolated SARS-coV-2..
It was isolated back in march
@Bingus No it was not. They have never provided any scientific evidence of having isolate the virus. It is another strain of a flu virus that has been around since the sixties. It is absurd that we are panicking over virus that has a 99.8 recovery rate?
Helle Shannon, what a beautiful picture you have on your profile…Are we open to know each other better outside the forum if ok with you?? Pls add me up with this email and keep it safe (marcosvalley79@gmail.com)
I wonder if there was this much conspiracy theorizing during the 1918 pandemic?
I seen your video on the battle with CVID, the medical system is a joke. ☹️ I hope you’re doing well.
Inevitable or not I definitely saw it coming from a mile away. They think we are idiots and…. they may be right.
@Oh Canada Shut up until you have an original thought to contribute.
@tamewolf So you’re telling me that viruses don’t mutate? Do you even know basic biology?
Wow! Someone speaking the truth for once.
@Oh Canada lol
Garcia Family, you expressed my thoughts exactly.
Our leadership is pathetic.
That is the nature of the liberal party, as they are always about securing the next election. They need to be voted out.
Bad bot
Our society is pathetic
@curmac29 This.
This sucks
Why are Canada’s international airports OPEN to foreign travellers ?
For your safety
because covid is the common cold and they know it
@Barnabas Abraham because it’s taking a toll on hospitals and health care system. There’s barely any room in hospitals to treat patients.
@Jesse Lillico
Ultimately, it’s about control, and most are apparently willing to give their autonomy away without consideration.
because virtue signalling
so… an other gold rush for pharmaceutical?
It ain’t about the money any more. Think, they already have it all. It’s not about money. It’s about Genocide.
At this point I’m just done, I don’t see any light at the end of the tunnel. I don’t even care if I get COVID at this point, I can’t keep living like this…..
@shizuokaBLUES we got past the spanish flu, polio, anthrax, sars, h1n1 all without lockdowns and all were more lethal than covid.
@Itachirevived au contraire. We did not get past Spanish Flu without lockdowns. Not sure where you got that idea but there were terrible long lockdowns and many businesses shuttered and went bankrupt. Please do some reading on that one.
@Itachirevived anthrax? Um. What ? It’s not transmissible from person to person. It’s not a virus. SARS could have been a deadly pandemic as you are quite right
—it’s far more deadly. but the R factor is much lower and thank goodness for that.
Wake up.. this NEVER ends and remember they called this THE NEW NORMAL
@Oyberg Veystein this ends. Vaccines and , more importantly medicine. That is, treatment. Of course it ends. Smallpox? Far far worse. Eradicated.
Vuoi scommetere che e’ arrivato da Babbo Natale?
Get ready for full body PPE and clown boots for everyone.
THE RIDE THAT NEVER ENDS!!
Flus and colds mutate all the time. How many times are we going to go around this mountain?
this is never going to end.
They expect full measures from the average citizen or business but they only seem capable of half measures.
I love the anchor’s Indiglish.
They have already put everybody in jeapordy. This is how they want to start 2021. How much can we put up with. Where is the leadership. How are we suppose to trust you. How.
This guy sounds like he came right out of Trudeau’s rear end
These medical so called professional Drs should be held liable for the bad advice and look to a more common sense aproach instead of having some medical marvel just reading what some stupid politician puts on paper
It was inevitable. So why were there ANY international flights going in or out? Shouldn’t the only planes landing have had vaccines on them?
If it’s a planned attack on humanity then yes of course!
DO THE MASKS REALLY WORK….I DON’T THINK SO
