“It is important to take this seriously and be vigilant and be prepared, but I don’t think there’s any reason for us to panic or be overly concerned,” Dr. Theresa Tam said Monday in a call with reporters.
No confirmed cases have been reported in Canada, but Tam confirmed that three travellers were investigated and ruled out over the past week. All three travellers had recently been to Wuhan, the central Chinese city where the virus was first reported in connection with a seafood market. Electronic kiosks at the three airports will also include an additional health screening question. Those steps are expected to be rolled out later this week.
Officials at U.S. airports will use thermal scanners that can be pointed at travellers’ foreheads or temples for signs of illness, and travellers will be asked to fill out questionnaires asking if they visited meat or seafood markets in Wuhan.
They must to bun visits to China and visitors from China.
And it’s in the USA now. Don’t worry tho it’s TRUMP’s fault
So how many cases do we need on NA shores before you go, 'OH FUCK'!
Corporate greed says, “don’t panic!” “We make too much money off travellers from Asia” “it’s all okay people ;/ trust us”
Sounds really positive. “I don’t think....”
Not yet...
Then she can stand holding the blood and be responsible for the deaths in Canada from this. It is African Swine flu jumped to humans, and those F*cks know it. Canada, you been sold out to traitors and do nothings. In five days the infected went from 40 to 300, and 4 dead.
Is this like a GM having “full confidence” in their coach, then firing them a week lat... OH MY GOD!!! WE’RE GONNA DIE!!
No 'reason' to panic 👉
Ban Chinese travellers to North America
Maybe shut the boarder
We don't care about what you think, we care about facts, we need to be sure that there's nothing to worry about coronavirus, at all. Specially with the amount of commute coming from there...
Is it her background from China? Because she might have somebody coming to visit..
I can't believe we have everything riding on this woman and Greta....
tell that to the people that died...
Son of SARS?
Chinese new year says ...
FamousLastWords NothingToWorryAbout
Remember when they said this about SARS in 2003? ☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️
Japan is hit, the Olympics are in a few months, every country will be there but don't worry, what could happen...
Yes let’s stay calm even though it is easily transmitted from human to human!! CAn we trust that the medical field has taken the necessary steps, by chance it does arrive in 🇨🇦 or 🇺🇸 or other countries by the many travellers arriving after being in China 🇨🇳.
May have to rethink that idea
God damn chi*** are filthy
Oh-yes-there-is!!!🤷♂️
This is simular to SARS being a coronavirus, it is human transferable and it will make its way here eventually. Once its here the Canadian Health Chief can step down and take responsibility for his lack of knowledge over a pandemic situation that could have been prevented.
And cue all the amatuer epidemiologists who think they know more than Canada's top health officer. Dunning-Kruger emerges once again.
Get the planes down now and stop with the patronizing, trite replies. Canadians are going to die from this very soon. Cut health, cut nurses, forced early retirement, there is no preparedness!
One sick cow in Canada and China shuts its border to all Canadian beef for 5 years... but no.. a contagion affecting humans... 'dont worry about it'..
...until it gets here?
Chinese New Year travelling season is getting under way 💀
I had the Corona Virus once too..
Greater than 40 ppl dead in China of a coronavirus they have no idea how to treat and addtl bodies starting to pile up in Thailand & Japan. Keep listening to your health chief. I'm sure it'll all just blow over. IdiotCanuck
Yet
So long, Richmond...
Passengers should be screened BEFORE they are allowed to board planes in China. How is it okay, to allow hundreds of people,e to sit on planes for hours spreading the virus in such close contact. Then release them into our airports to infect us? Is there no Common Sense left?
Quarantine China now!!!!!!
Coronavirus!! Hahaha!! I called in sick with jackdanielsvirus once, didn’t work but good luck!!!
Nope. Just close our borders to any flights from China.
You dont think lol what the hell kinda answer is that...YOUR FIRED .
Don't panic, wait till the shit hit the fan.
Not till February 2nd 2020 The 2nd month of the 2nd day of 2020. 222020
theresaboyle I'm panicking. I've had pneumonia 6x and am barely recovering from flu. For some reason the pneumonia vacc which I have been given every 5 yrs since age 50, must be paid for. I didn't get it, cause... well... the dogs needed their shots. Which is the BEST MASK?
No panic but I am worried about it.
I’m not panicking.. I’m just 💩 myself 🥴
But cannabis and alcohol are reasons for concern...according our health chief? I would think coronavirus might be a little more of a concern
Before SARS infested our hospitals and cost billions of dollars to recover from, experts suggesting mandatory quarantine for inbound passengers from affected areas of China got dismissed Back when CBC wasn't a useless lump of Trump derangement, the impact
Famous last words! What precautions are in place?
Meaning PMJT won't upset China.
No! You cannot say that till the threat is gone! That emphasizes carelessness. Those are always famous last words for the worst to happen! Stay vigilant! Stay cautious! We are panicking!
there's never a reason to panic. on the other hand, i hope to hell we're erring on the side of caution.
sounds like what saud regarding SARs
