The head of Ontario's expert pandemic advisory table says he would have liked to see all remaining mask mandates in high-risk settings in place for a little while longer.

·Dr.

Fahad Razak, the new scientific director of Ontario's COVID-19 science advisory table, told CBC Radio's Metro Morning the provincial requirement could have been extended for at least four more weeks to help relieve some of the pressure on hospitals that will now have to enforce their own mask rules.

U cbc can wear mask even when u sleeping. Dont tell me where to wear a mask.

The mask cult is losing

😂😂😂😂😂

oMg wE'rE aLl gOinG tO DiE!!

Public transit is high risk? Masks do anything at all?

Where the “science” is weak and different than the rest of the world and the “$cience” is strong and equivalent to astrology.

What’s the end point? Does anyone ask?

Why aren't the MAGIC 'vaccines' 'safe and effective'? Or are you now a 'science denier'?!

These clowns don't give up

For how long Just two more weeks, right.

Then fucking grow a pair and stand up for what’s right!!!

Suck eggs.

'A little while longer' translates as 'ad infinitum' with these 'expert' clowns! Remember 'two weeks to flatten the curve'? anthonyfurey jerryagar1010

Trying to cling to the last bit of power he has

Defund the CBC

On what medical basis? What evidence do Canadian doctors have that is denied to others? Countries around the world are dropping all restrictions because the virus has weakened and is endemic, but somehow Canadian “experts” just can’t let go of their authoritarian control.

Logic escapes Ontario's pandemic advisory table when states south of Canada( the ones doing best with Covid) have dropped mask requirements 2 years ago. It was never about your health here.

'A little while' That's not science. Where's the data and evidence they're using to issue these recommendations?

Covid will be here next year and the year after that and so on. A little bit longer won’t make a real difference. I think they are more concerned about letting go of their control over us than preventing illness

Keep the mask mandate going. Our daughter is a nurse who contracted covid for the second time at the hospital because the patients had the virus. She us in isolation again. The nurses have all but quit or will be. You are responsible for their safety and the lives of others.

Stop calling them experts and stop using opinion and fake models to justify draconian policies.

Same fearmongers that wanted to keep schools closed after Chris The same fearmongers that push to mandate failed vaxx onto children for school The same fearmongers who did not want to stop masks in March And yet are numbers are all time lows Get them outta here

DrFahadRazak you are acting like a leftist paranoia pushing hypochondriac. Someone should put you up for re-evaluation you are clearly not fit to handle your current responsibilities. The public is sick and tired of this fear mongering nonsense. StopTheSpreadOfFear

Expert What’s that meaning the last 2 years

Oh yeah stir the pot with this mask thing again that’s all people need now listen to this Bulllshit when life miserable enough with the prices of everything ….

The 'Expert' knows masks are ineffective at virus suppression. He's grasping to remain relevant.

Everyone is over covid So should and Turd.

Oh, give it a rest. Studies show masks did very little to stop the spread of covid.

Oh well 😝

looks like they are trying to bring back dead horse

Who cares? Wear a mask 😷 if you want, or don’t - nobody cares. Your choice! My gosh just stop with the division!!

What ate the stats for today Seriously, the numbers are so low they don't get reported anymore.

Just 2 more weeks of masking in hospitals would make it disappear right? And vaccinating newborns of course….

These experts have been wrong on EVERYTHING for 2+ Fkn years now... These 'experts' can go to hell

Make up your mind first masks don’t work now they do😂 all about an agenda that doesn’t include us

I’d like to see all these so-called “experts” fired for incompetence

'Whenever I have explosive diarrhea, I don't wear pants. If you're so worried to get sprayed, wear two pants, three pants. No one is stopping you.' -antimasker-

and the result of not doing that was…? Nothing

Is this the same expert pandemic advisory table who’s every prediction has been wrong?

Let's also reduce speeds to 10 km/hr on major highways to be extra cautious going forward. It will prevent deaths from accidents, encourage more people working from home (it will take too long to get anywhere) and save the planet by reducing fuel consumption. Your welcome.

BLA BLA FART BLAT GUFFAW! ANY ONE ELSE HAVE ANY 'YOU SHOULD' OR 'IF YOU HAD'. ANY NEW STUDIES? FACT CHECKERS SAY... EXPERTS AGREE, AND OTHER 'PROFESSIONAL' EXPERT VEBAL POO POO? IT IS WHAT IT IS. (can i say this, mr twitter?)

Why would anyone trust these “experts”?

Layer of cotton over face isn’t doing anything. It’s all a façade.

FAH KOFF NOT SEE!!

Why are we paying all these experts when Dougy just does what he wants

And other experts said it was time to remove them. No one is forcing you to not wear a mask, you have a choice. If you want to continue wearing a mask, wear it.

This the same guy that was on cfraottawa exited that Moderna was developing a new annual covid/influenza 'vax'? Then cfraottawa kept reporting it every 15 minutes, cause 'if you say it often enough... Bet it's ready just in time for Thanksgiving long weekend variant warning.

I'm keeping the mask on...to each his own 😷

His opinion means NOTHING to me

He should be in charge of the health care in Ontario. maskswork WearAMask COVIDisAirborne CovidIsNotOver FiredrKieranMoore dougfordisdestroyingontario NeverVoteConservative Lesly2026

This ‘science table’ needs to be reminded that hospitals are here to serve Canadians. We are not here to keep hospitals empty. Ignoring ALL other ailments except Covid for 2 years has consequences - overburdened hospitals! Deal with it, and YOU do better next time!

I would like to see their science. So I guess we're at an impasse 😂

Just saying that to cover his ass.

AmitAryaMD I wonder what percentage of the 17% of eligible voters who re-elected Premier Ford-Moore would agree with this dingbat decision?

Yes because his job relies on it.

At this point we have to ask ourselves if this is something we are prepared to do for the rest of our lives. Otherwise, what is going to change?

Well of coarse he does. The longer the pandemic goes on, the more he gets paid.

New science table head is clearly incompetent

…. Yet Trudeau is not ending his mandates ….. Go figure

As we ALL WOULD.....

acoyne Our bodies are designed to exhale toxic air Masks get damp as you breathe which traps bacterial particles and viruses = increasing risk of infection/illness Sadly, many have forgotten ALL science and medical knowledge pre-Covid hysteria

OST is irrelevant. Has been for a year now.

Expert? Lol

woulda, coulda, shoulda....Tire d of your mug too! Same as our Dr. Henry or Dix

It’s good for them not wear but for us it’s a “MUST” ! 🤡🤡🤡🤡

The science was over with last year. Now is just politics

Thankfully your opinion mean oogatz to me

No surprise, health experts would never reach a stage where they agree that masks and other measures are no longer necessary in high risk settings. The uproar at Pearson airport shows how much the public will tolerate what are perceived as unneeded ineffective health measures

acoyne Sorry no.

acoyne I mean the OST modeling has been so spot on so why not take their advice instead of CMO

acoyne You know what? How about locking everyone down forever? Make them stay home, wear masks everywhere if they have to be out. That’s what these “experts” want. No thanks.

Let's see his tax report

Can't wait till end of the summer everyone thinks it safe now. It's only and was an election ploy to drop mandates and appease those asshat freedumb lovers. Fords an anti vaxxer now it was just for show last year...😡😡

acoyne The Covid-obsessed need to be punted our of these positions.

As an EXPERT pandemic troll I say this is bullshit

acoyne Bull 💩. Science is always wrong because it’s only 300 years young and manipulated!

Thank you for reporting this. onpoli ThugFord

400 in Ontario died from COVID during May, 2022. 63 have died in Ontario from COVID so far this month. COVID is not over.

No one cares what he thinks.

It’s almost like liberals are trying to get voted out of office.

Pandemic expert dr. Malone says different

Like forever. Be afraid be always afraid.

This guy looks like he could be related to Gomer Algebra.

Lol, NERD!!

Getting a doctorate doesn't include English reading 101...

Nobody reads research papers.

More political action wanted by Trudeau soldiers

Wow! This article certainly generated a lot of truly stupid people to post their selfishness, total ignorance, their brand of idiocy & crazy conspiracies. Society is really screwed!

Wishy washy. It was dangerous and reckless to remove the mask mandates too early for clearly political reasons. Tell the truth.

WACKO on the loose.

I wonder if my TV guy would recommend I buy a new TV every year?

2 more weeks?

Obviously. Because he's not an idiot who wants people to be at greater risk than they need to be.

WHY ? MASKS NEVER WORKED 90% OF COVID CASES WERE WITH PEOPLE WEARING A MASK. TIME TO END THE POLITICAL STUPIDITY

Guy looks like a frog

Stop the COVID theatre. Mass psychosis is preventable. Wear your mask if you feel the need to prevent your triple jabbed bodies from getting the virus.

And I'd like to see proper proof that they make a big difference because we've had masks removed for a while and cases continue to spiral downward

Just a little while longer , you are a monster what you love is death and control of people thats why these evil demons love the mask and vaccine for just a little longer. They hate real science they only love there leftis perverted so called science. Evil they are

“Experts”

There is no need for a science table Self-important, irrelevant and irresponsible

DefundTheCBC

Expert ... such an overused word

There's no need for a government mandate. Intelligent people mandated the hospitals already.

when you lift mandates and most masks drop and cases don't rise back again 10-14 days after that, it means masks were not doing much.

Man wants to remain relevant.

Let’s see what the Twitter doctors say 👀

I quite capable of making my own decisions

Mask isn’t the answer! Stop the jabs!

Because masks work so well… that they don’t really work… but that’s how you know they are working. 😵‍💫

Time to continue with life. Covid is like the flu. Enough already

'Expert'. The only thing they are experts at is FEAR MONGERING.

Where were they last week ?!? Perhaps ElectionsCan_E should also be looking at forbidding making polls public once a writ is dropped. IMO there is too much manipulation going on w/ polls. cdnpoli Who decides what is misinformation? Politicians? Lol sounds like a great plan - we all know politicians hate disinformation.
