The info will guide governments in deciding what public health measures to enforce if, or when, a second wave of COVID\u002D19 begins to arrive in Canada

The two organizations have already collected “tens of thousands” of blood samples from Canadians that will be used for the initial immunity testing across the country. All they are waiting for is the arrival of the testing kits, which are now on their way.

Knowing those things will guide governments in deciding what public health measures to enforce if, or when, a second wave of COVID-19 begins to arrive in Canada. It can also help guide decisions on who to vaccinate first if a COVID-19 vaccine becomes available.Article content continued Because some people get COVID-19 but show no symptoms, and because widespread testing for the virus that causes COVID-19 did not become the norm in most provinces until just recently, public health experts acknowledge the number of people who have actually been infected exceeds the number of cases reported.Article content continued

140 000 is all you get with a AA credit rating ......hmmm

emgfind There are major issues with these antibody tests. They might not be able to give us the information we need because if issues with specificity and sensitivity. Then there is the possibility that a milder form of the virus was around last year. I hope I’m wrong though.

.3%. Why is this a headline? That only .3% will get a test that actually makes sense to get as it’s not squirting in some rushed politicized bug juice into your veins.

In a country of 37 million spread of tens of thousands of miles, is buying 140,000 test kits something to crow about? Is there a plan to secure and use many, many more?

Immunity testing already happened. Look at the protesters. You said no one has reported having COVID. Why and who are Canadians paying. Tell us

A recent report indicated the vast majority of these tests are defective.... false results. The report also stated 70% of the immunity tests originate in China. See the pattern now? Next... testing a vaccine from China. Say no.

A bit late to the party again.

Why has this never been done for the flu?

We can't make anything at home and have to import everything? Masks, test kits?

From China probably...

140 000 tests on a population of 34 millions. Please explain

Why?

Will you stop spending millions on the friggin hoax. Jesus what the hell is wrong with these idiots. Stop testing. 75% are false. 80% of people didn’t even know they already got CV. How dangerous is pandemic when people need to test to know they have it.

Not touching any test from our government.

At LEAST TWO MONTHS BEHIND can’t these idiots be proactive on ANYTHING

From Dr.Tam homeland Chyna?

Not taking a test

Always a month behind like clockwork.

From chyna

From the “WE”corporation?

Since new studies show hydroxychloroquine saves lives and refute the bill gates funded fake study that was retracted. Will this cheap generic drug be made available to patients or will the government and media sit back and be part of murdering innocent lives to protect vaccine $$

We destroyed our country for a bad flu season.

Fire Tam.

And apparently no one cares....

Can’t wait to get ripped off!

14-year-old male charged with murder in Winnipeg Canada Day shootingWinnipeg police have charged a 14-year-old male with first-degree murder in connection with a homicide on Canada Day that left a 27-year-old woman dead. Very sad! Good job dad! 👍 Mom! Throw the book at him. We need to toughen up the under 18 criminal laws. When you’re 14 and you take a gun, point it at someone, and pull the trigger, you know that you are killing someone. I don’t believe people under 18 don’t understand the consequences of their actions.
