  1. How far are you willing to go stop the FLU. “Just watch me!”

    Give some tough measures! Trudeau #2

    1. @Darryl Smith – Just after returning from the moon China introduced its latest invention, OutOfThisWorldVIRUS.

    1. @NatetheNorthman here is a fact. My parents flew back from a trip to mexico 2 days ago, march 14th and literally NOTHING was done. No questions asked, no temp tests, no different than any other flight. They weren’t even told to self quarantine. (Although they are)

    2. That is one of the worst answers I have ever heard for not being tested…
      The reason it has spread so far and wide is because they transmitted it BEFORE they had symptoms. Am I wrong here? What is going on here?
      WTF!!!???

    1. All stores are restocked every single night. They’re fully stocked every morning. There’s no need to worry.

    2. its up to grocery stores to put restrictions. They have always done this with items on sale i dont see why they can’t do it now. Such an easy solution to something so crucial

  2. My sister got in from South Korea last nite and saw no one being checked and everyone just walked out of the airport???

    1. Fat Bobby that’s racist and also very childish. If you were mature enough, you would know not to waste your time being racist on the internet.

  3. Evan should’ve asked him why parliament is shut down for five weeks but two weeks is fine for everyone else.

  4. Canada
    317 infected
    +65 New infections today.
    But still no public infection? I find that hard to believe.

    1. Larry Campbell she had mild symptoms because she was in contact with someone that was confirmed to have covid-19. Come on don’t spread false/inaccurate information.

    2. @Larry Campbell let’s stick to the facts please and nothing but. There is a protocol for testing and Sofie met it. The bs narrative is irresponsible.

    1. Ross: Yeah, and let’s stay home and help the situation. That is the most effective thing we can do according to our own officials, the CDC, and the WHO. That has the biggest impact on neutralizing the disease. If idiots keep swarming to get tested, see the doctor, go to the hospital, that is the worst thing we can do.

    2. Yes but it is irrelevant if we’re still allowing travel in and out, the entire point ois to slow the curve, and once this nation wide 2 – 4 incubation time expires, what is preventing it from happening again if we’re allowing high risk individuals to walk right back into our communities??

  5. My parents flew home on Thursday from their wintering in Mexico and at no point at YVR were they questioned about their travel, or their current health status. My parents have chosen to voluntarily self quarantine to do their part. Thankfully tho, they are felling fine and I pray they continue to. Blessings to everyone effected by this in every way be it medical and or financial etc.❤️

    2. @ajcook7777 correct. Idris Elba tested positive, but has no symptoms. Theres lot to learn for everyone here. Blaming one person ain’t gonna fix anything.

  6. If the parliament is closed down, then close down the borders and stop looking closely. I would have thought that covid 19 is in the PM’s house would wake Justin Trudeau up and close the borders down.

  7. There is no screening at airports. Flights are landing from China, and other parts of Asia. No screening or quarantine.

    1. Hong quit spreading your lies about the Wu-Han virus it doesn’t help. Now is not the time for disinformation , we have enough of that from our own Government and the W.H.O.

  8. If Sockboy closes the border we can all use Roxham Road as an alternate and get the RCMP porter service.

    1. He also sain any family of Canadians. Aka, Diversity will be telling all their relatives to come with fake ID.

  9. That’s right there is no screening at the airport right now. That’s the main reason that most of the cases in Canada are all travel related. Too late now.

    1. The principal at my school would baffle you. He takes over five minutes to say “pavement only recess.”

    2. @fiber182nd when he came out had a written on a paper NO DISTURBANCE, I AM ON HOILDAY ” so please show some respect for his privacy !

  10. “We’re considering EVERYTHING” but Derek Zoolander is doing next to nothing.
    There is NO screening at airports

    1. @William Milestone Doug Ford has been cutting the medical system for awhile now. No one seems to think about that.

    2. Many ppl have said they’ve come from Italy and Iran and we’re only told to go home and self isolate so his information is not credible. This is pathetic.

    3. uh but uh we um need all that uh dirt uh dirty money from from Ch uh China, so we don’t want to uh do any um anything to keep it out of our um economy.

  11. 2 days ago illegals still coming across roxton road, no screening no questions and put on a bus and sent???

    1. Luke, that wont help. A legit blockade maby. Or several hundred calls/emails to our parliamentary members

  12. It’s all being considered but nothing is being done. Stay inside everyone… yeah ok government thanks lol
