Indeed, how-is-she-still-Health Minister Patty Hajdu sounds exactly like Health Canada did before its supposed change of heart. “We will not at Health Canada approve a test that, in any way, endangers Canadians’ health,” she said last week.
“As soon as there’s approval for faster tests to be used safely,” Trudeau vowed Wednesday evening, “we’ll get them out across the country.”Some of these testsover the “gold-standard” PCR tests — the lab-processed nasopharyngeal swab procedure that many Canadians have by now endured. But let’s accept for the sake of argument that for all their speed and simplicity, they’re fundamentally less accurate: more likely to yield false positives and false negatives.
Positive results would be confirmed or debunked with those PCR tests . A false negative result would leave the person, and society, no worse off than had no test been administered — assuming that person didn’t immediately tear off his mask and start kissing everyone like it was V-J Day in Times Square.Article content continuedtap here to see other videos from our teamAh, but there’s the rub.
It would be one thing if all Canadian jurisdictions were excelling at turning around these “gold-standard” PCR tests. They are not. Spain has conducted 40-per-cent more tests per capita than Canada, Australia has done 60-per-cent more, Denmark 340-per-cent more.for the province’s latest testing woes: A somehow-unanticipated back-to-school surge in demand has ratcheted up turnaround times in Ontario at precisely the moment they need to be lowest.
Rage bait rag
Yes. Like CERB and the many other programs and works the Trudeau government did to help ordinary Canadians. All the CONS do is bitch and try to fluff up a bunch of faux scandals.
When in the hell did he boast. He was acknowledging the hard work of the people in the spring.
You should write about the app, would be more helpful. Or the Cons answer to the speech, which is, like, 'screw you all'. But hey, you are the NP and have a reputation to keep... Keep the good work, it is almost coming the time to change your name to 'National Sun'...
This government is not only incompetent, it is dangerous to the health and welfare of Canadian. Never have I been embarrassed nor fightened to be a Canadian like I am now.
Don’t forget as well, 70% of people with covid don’t spread it to anyone. So with at home tests producing 85% accurate positive tests (per past np article), we could reduce the amount of people (per 100 with covid) transmitting covid from 30 to less than 5...
If Trudeau really want to help, he should resign.
Nailed it: By far the biggest “false sense of security” in evidence in this country over the past six months has been at Health Canada.
Article Missed the boat. There is a cure, hcq /az/zn and fatality rate virtually negligible and mostly in very elderly with co-morbidities. So Covid reaction just a power trip by Trudeau /Ford: Horgan !!!Scamdemic!!
What is with this picture?
Expect TrudeauWorstPMEver responses.
Does anyone actually read this news paper? It’s sad to see, really!
Selly argues that his opinion is more knowledgeable than that of Health Canada scientists and that Cabinet should interfere with regulatory decisions. Please spare us from such insight and wisdom.
If cselley wants this pandemic to go better he should help out himself instead of crying about others that have helped half of Canada already.
