Dr. Theresa Tam made the announcement on Wednesday, less than an hour after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau revealed he has been wearing a mask. Tam told reporters that the language on masks has shifted from "permissive" to a "specific recommendation.""If you can’t predict whether you can maintain that two-metre distance, then it’s recommended that you wear the non-medical mask or facial covering," Tam said.
Within Canada, some grocery stores and airlines are asking Canadians to wear non-medical masks while using their services. "That's my personal choice, that is aligned, I think, with what public health is recommending. I think we all need to adjust to what works in our circumstances and keep safety at the forefront of what we’re doing."
Tam needs to resign, and I am not sure why it's not being publically demanded after this announcement. Nothing about a mask has changed, and it has always been evident they are useful during an outbreak. We purchased N95 masks in February to prepare for the arrival of..
I would like to see fa e masks become mandatory.
She needs to resign. She wrote the pandemic plan after SARS but yet didn’t follow any of her own recommendations. I guess she was scared of not following blackface and CHINA orders
Seriously she’s the ugliest woman I ever saw in my life I’m sorry but she really is
Wow, how is it possible for someone to be wrong on every single call and still have a job? Oh yeah, incompetence is an expectation and a virtue in the liberal party.
Professor Yuen Kwok-yung, the University of Hong Kong’s (HKU) top microbiologist and an early proponent of wearing masks in the city, has described the case of a seven-year-old girl who resisted Covid-19 while her family members fell sick. In a study published in the medical journal Lancet, he said the family of six traveled to Wuhan, the epicenter of China’s Covid-19 outbreak, and the girl was the only one in the family who did not contract the virus. Why: she wore masks all thru the trip.
Wear a mask, hide your individuality, your facial expressions, conform by having us all look the same, you know, like a collective, that’s Dr. Tam’s word she used to describe us in previous statement. Shall we call each other comrade next?
dr Tam is the chief medical advisor to the WHO!!
Which way is the wind blowing today!
BREAKING : Canadians do not believe anything coming out of Dr. Tam's mouth!
You don't hear Quebec complaining about burkas
no HydroxychloroquineWorks
And I'm officially telling the Government No! You work for me. Not the other way around. You've lied and lied and lied. People still coming in from China daily! But closed US border? First masks weren't helpful but now they are? Bullshit. You need a hazmat suite for a virus
Cuomo's Nursing Home Disaster May Have Cost Thousands Of Lives...So the Left's Just Ignoring It
So tell me why she doesn't need to wear one...
inky_mark
Based on what evidence? This same donkey said masks were useless just 2 months ago. So the science has changed? New data? New results? Or superstitious fear-mongering?
inky_mark There’s a lot of Canadian’s that have some recommendations for her and her Liberal team as well!
I picture one of these on Dr. Tam's desk.
Yawn.. Lets talk about ObamaGate Or TreasonTrudeau how about ClintonBodyCount The AMAZING letter from POTUS45 to The Who.
Can I wear pants too?
If you’re speaking moistly, wear a mask 😷
omg when I remember I pay that 150k+ salary I die a little inside
so I heard the Alberta government has shipped masks to their people , before her advice? anyone could verify?
did she just wake up?
Key words: 'when two metre distance isn't possible' -- you mask-wearing geeks
Tam can fuck off
Wear it because mask can’t kill you but Coronavirus can.
Dr. Tam I respect your opinion. Should I put on a seat belt when in a car?
It sure took a while?
Oh weez in deep doo doo
Please supply masks. We are not able to buy them !!!!😠
Very inconsistent information from the start of this, her and the the so called experts need to be thoroughly investigated as reaction time was sub par and measures were not taken when called for. Sorry but not investing my life with her advice and never will.
Took long enough.
So first it’s “don’t wear a mask”, then it’s “masks will make you sick” and now “you should wear a mask”. Riiiiigghhtt
Non-Surgical mask, so if I sneeze in someone’s face accidentally this non-surgical mask is going to protect people from COVID-19. Dr Theresa Tam🤣
She has no credit anymore. WHO puppet.
My husband and I have been wearing masks since March whenever we go out to to any stores. It's common sense, it's better protection than nothing at all.
She has absolutely no clue what she is doing. None. 100% definitely no o clue
And CTV has become a propaganda arm of the Chinese government. Let's mention the fact that Mr Tam said masks DO NOT WORK! Also ask why a person who has gender dysphoria is running the country's health care system? Or, that just gives him a pass to push Chinas agenda unquestioned?
She must be really good at playing with a yo-yo.
Oh, now she recommends it? Get your shit together Tam. FireTam
This moron has no clue
Fire this useless sac of crap 💩
Shes the first who needs a mask. If you catch my drift.
FakeNewsMedia FakeNewsAlert Canadian media is pure propaganda. Masks are for the sheep.
This should have been done a month ago and mandated.
Sweden (with limited shutdown) Totals: Coronavirus Cases: 30,799 Deaths: 3,740 According to the WHO data published in 2017 Influenza & Pneumonia Deaths in Sweden reached 3,589 or 4.74% of total deaths. Start the country stop the bs. fordnation JustinTrudeau PierrePoilievre
FIRETAM
We don’t care what he says.
I've been wearing since March when we became under Lock down for the safety of others as well as myself plus 🧤 when I go shopping putting on new one for every store
Where to go to buy masks?
That’s a hard no
Just curious if the gov will be putting the discounted defective masks we bought from China into public circulation
tamliedandpeopledied
Nope
Sammy people here that are obviously much more well informed. Can’t wait for one of them to step up in next elections and lead the way for the rest of us.🙄
Thank you Dr. Tam ❣️🇨🇦❣️
🖕🖕
So In China/Asia they always wear masks since forever and it still spread so the mask does nothing except hopefully if your sick you don’t spread it as your covered. And if you’re sick STAY HOME! If I choose to wear a mask I will. Make up your minds!
Sooooo many people in the comments would have made good Nazis &/or KGB.. and yes..it is the exact same thing. gfy
No thanks. I'll pass on advice from communists.
When life gives you lemons, make masks
Even when it is possible, you should still wear a mask if you are not at home, unless you are alone in your car. its just that simple.. and the longer this pandemic goes on, the better this tweet will age.
flipflop She’s just the butt of a joke now. Can’t take a firm stance on anything without later reversing it. cdnpoli COVIDIOTS
How is she still in charge? Tam works for the corrupt WHO. We don't care what she says.
Let see her see her citizenship card she is only here as for the snake oil salesmen request prime minister Trudeau
Stop reading your notes Ana look at the people who you are taking to As for masks well it is a very good thing but they also give false hope people use your own brain. Don’t listen to a sell out who is only so in dad she told by her leaders from China
Hallelujah
It’s important to remember that Trudeau didn’t act fast in closing the border,didn’t act fast in putting in any real screening or even information measures at international airports where people were bringing the virus in from China, Iran, Egypt, Italy, the United States and more
CPHO_Canada Stuff it... I don't believe anything you say
No thanks
Once again, too late.
Nope. I dont ride transit and the grocery store wont allow more than 20 people at a time.
He’s wrong again
It would greatly improve her appearance
Nice, several months late as usual
Dont wear masks. Now wear masks. Dont go outside. But make sure you go outside for your health. But dont go boating. Dont self isolate by camping. But make sure you visit the parks. I'm pretty convinced they seriously don't know what the fuck they're doing.
This guy is beyond incompetent and should be fired immediately!!
Clip of Dr.Tam from a 2010 documentary:You could track people, put bracelets on their arms.'Police checkpoints.Everyone leaving city is required to show proof of vaccination.Those who refuse to cooperate ARE TAKEN TO TEMPORARY DETENTION CENTRES.'
CTVAtlantic Canadas chief public heath officer can go soak her head
I have been when I have been out but that hasn’t been much
Yeah after affirming for weeks that masks won't do anything, that gounding travel was racist, that human to human transfer was rare. ..... are we all idiots?
What does he know?
5 months late, oh well
Wear mask when you go out...
Didn’t need her approval; I already did what’s best for me and wore a mask months ago.
Blah blah. Fool. Shut up
This person refused to recommend masks in the thick of this event. Now that it is subsiding. We should wear masks. Lol. The bullshit keeps pulling up. Fuck this Goverment!
This is pure comedy. First no issue of virus transmission, then no need to close borders, then no need to wear face masks. How does or can anyone take her advice seriously?
jeannetix In other words - Collect data on individuals that don’t wear masks via facial recognition, i.e those who refuse to submit to totalitarian rule then use tracing to collect info on where they live etc. ICU.
I’m old enough to remember when they told us masks didn’t work and not to wear one.
She works for the pro-communist failed WHO. I “recommend” she resigns.
From the start TamLiedCanadiansDied she has lost all credibility.
No thanks I’ll pass!
No one will care about her official recommendation...has to be mandatory
Theresa recommended to wear face masks because of Chinese and WHO. Should have new medical advisor for Canada.
wewerewrong.
jeannetix The wheels on the bus go round n round just don't question our science
Yeah no thanks. CTV lame
Who told you.. WHO/China?
firetam
Im going to wrar this mask
She flip flops more than those live fish they eat in China.
He said originally from his job with WHO that masks dont work🤔 Closing airports won't work. Not human to human contagious. Why dosent he quit and let someone who loves canada do the job.
Make up your freaken mind
Insane the amount of snowflakes that think they’re too good to wear a mask. Pathetic 😒
Im glad it's only a recommendation. Ill do without thanks
Ahh right... Also in case you missed it, closing the borders to hot spots is xenophobic and doesn’t work. There’s no evidence of human to human transmission, and Canada is at a very low risk to have the virus spread amongst our population. Anything else? cdnpoli
But in the beginning they told us masks wouldn’t protect anyone. Must be nice to just make shit up as you go.
nope. not happening
Lol
She is such a joke, how can we believe anything she says. Everything she has said has been so far off.
Cool. WHO says otherwise.
Once again, “Dr” Tam is imparting her useless words of wisdom on us.......can’t trust anything she says...
Tried to go grocery shopping today at Freshco. Not happening.
Masks are useless
Should be mandatory. Czech Republic has mandatory masks in public places which cut their infection rates right from the beginning. Short term pain for long term gain.
The Tam bakery specializing in turn overs
Can’t find any
Masks make me feel panicky and like I’m going to suffocate :(
Make up my mind- we were called racist and told that masks were not necessary and open borders were OK- now two months later we are back to square one doing what most Canadians knew should have been done on Day1- competence? Common Sense? Racist? Or just plain ass dumb?
Okay okay ah I got it now:
just say it wear mask if we are going out of the house period!
Tam has absolutely no credibility.
Goddamn he makes an ugly woman.
Made in China!
Look at that Adam's apple. LoL
Canada's chief medical dr has again proven her incompetence recommending not dictating the need to wear mask in public Ten steps behind the majority of the world How many lives were and will be lost by her lack of making firm policies or telling federal government to step in
I wore an N95 mask for medical reason because of Asthma and I couldn’t breathe so I had to take it off! This will be interesting!
She has pretty much been saying this for a month now. Didn’t need 20 reporters asking the same question on mask wear.
Now it’s official then
Bullshit. Just joining the social media bandwagon. The mask doesn't protect the weater just those surrounding them. So if you aren't sick there is no need for a mask.
She’s an agent of communist china. Obviously.
CTVAtlantic She can kiss my ass.
Thats not even a women its a man. Do research. These ppl are pedophile cabal blood drinking scum. Necks will break during military tribunals
So there's NO excuse for parliment to not go back into session. Great reporting. Now hold Trudeau to it.
I wonder if Canada would have had lower cases had this been recommended months ago.
CTVAtlantic And willingly use a seat belt and other health preserving measures
Been wearing a mask for 3 months, don’t leave home without one
So where are we supposed to get these masks?
Not going to wear one.
so dont wear masks is what im hearing
