  1. Health Canada isn’t moving on testing because they prefer to stick the swab up your nose and close to the blood brain barrier

  2. Covid deniers and anti-maskers, we know you are very anxious and fatigued by all this.  You too can play a part in protecting vulnerable Canadians (immuno-compromised, seniors, etc.) by wearing a mask in public indoor spaces, social distancing and basic hand hygiene.  Have some responsibility and consideration for others.  If you are not sure, seek advice from a medical professional like your family doctor.

    1. Do not listen to this person.
      They have no medical degree or background once so ever.
      Do your own research, and seek a medical professionals opinion.

    2. @Random Guy Do your own research? In other words, read more conspiracy theories on the internet? Is that what you mean by “research”.

  3. Doug is doing Trudeau’s bidding. These new tests will show up just in time to show high numbers to support a Liberal shutdown.

  4. Doug- you wouldn’t be surprised if went to emergency, trying get some help. And I mean before the virus. You would know how it works.

  5. How about HCQ, Ivermectin, Azithromisn, and MATH+ Doug?
    We’re still using ventilators when it’s been documented they make a bad situation worse. Meanwhile the therapies I’ve listed are well documented to be highly effective when administered correctly. Get on it, lives are at stake.

  6. Douggie … Douggie … Douggie … stop politicizing the virus to try to score political points with a very small vocal minority who think their investment in this test is going to pay off … if ONLY they can somehow bypass those pesky things like facts and results that proves these tests are less reliable than Trump on a ramp with a slight incline.

  7. I can’t believe this. A great testimony that i must share to all HERPES patient in the world i never believed that there could be any complete cure for HERPES or any cure for HERPES,i saw people’s testimony on sites of how dr Alabi . prepare herbal cure and brought them back to life again. i had to try it too and you can,t believe that in just few weeks i started using it all my pains stop gradually and i had to leave without the HERPES DRUGS the doctor gave to me. Right now i can tell you that few months now i have not had any pain,delay in treatment leads to death. Here is his email: (dr.alabiherbalhome@ gmail.com) or message him on WhatsApp +2348115204568
