People who refuse to wear face masks during the coronavirus pandemic should be stigmatized the same as drink drivers, the head of the prestigious Royal Society science journal said Tuesday.

"It used to be quite normal to have quite a few drinks and drive home, and it also used to be normal to drive without seatbelts," Ramakrishnan wrote in a comment article.

Estimates vary, but it is thought around 40-60 per cent of transmissions occur when carriers are pre- or asymptomatic -- that is, they may not know they are ill but are still able to infect others. Cloth face masks reduce oral particle dispersion between 50-100 per cent, depending on a number of factors, the researchers wrote.

CTVNews CTV your garbage!!!

CTVNews Quit with the ⬇️

CTVNews Bullshit and again bullshit. 4 months too late.💩🤮🤪 keep spreading the hate and fear. The children are suffering.

CTVNews 100%. The police should be charging people do not comply

CTVNews 'Leading Scientist.' Name five people who've ever heard of him. Hell, name two.

Mask or face shield should be mandatory. Face shields need to be readily available to those with respiratory issues.

CTVNews Wear your burka!

next to add to taboos is contact tracking apps, after masks become the cultural norm, then these apps will become the norm things will get very difficult in the next few years

TashaKheiriddin Ya, people with low income, or those who lost their job, would like that. 🙃

CTVNews Mainstream media, run by the deep state, making it a taboo to be a normally breathing human being: WITHOUT A STUPID MASK !!!

CTVNews BREATHING BACK YOUR OWN CO2 IS JUST AS DUMB AS DRINKING AND DRIVING. DO NOT WEAR A MASK!

CTVNews The only way I’m wearing a mask is if I’m in a straight jacket

CTVNews Those mask can't stop drywall dust what the hell chance do they have stopping a virus!! None at all. Sweden has reaches herd immunity

CTVNews

TashaKheiriddin Not for me

CTVNews

CTVNews Oh well. Not going to happen.

TashaKheiriddin Better off just staying 2 metres away from everyone

CTVNews

CTVNews I won't wear a mask Look too much like 1 of those illegal border jumpers from Wuhan

CTVNews Masks are for puppets

CTVNews Faceless society here we are!.

knock it off. Next thing is ppl will be given tickets, shamed or going even further, prison. So please bloody stop with the tyranny. You are driving us all crazy.

CTVNews Sure wish I could wear one. Chronic Bronchitis and a bit of Emphysema as well, won't allow me to. I have tried though. The door person at my nearby No Frills saw me huffing and puffing as I approached, and said please don't rush.

CTVNews Suggesting there was increased screening at airports is a joke. I retuned to Canada from Europe on 22 March, handed a piece of paper by CBSA agent and that was it. Hardly increased screening, what a joke!

CTVNews Honest question... ..if this virus is so deadly (a flu can be if you have a compromised system) and can spread to others (which CDC keeps changing their story) why is any face covering acceptable? Think .....please just a little.and take that spoon out

CTVNews

CTVNews

CTV. Get a real job. Stop the phoney fear mongering. Disgusting journalism. Shame on you people!!!!

California is releasing 8000 prisoners from jail because of covid-19. If masks work why wouldn't they just make the inmates wear them?

CTVNews Make something taboo and people will make it a kink ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯

CTVNews Nope!

CTVNews A thing everyone does, but no one admits to?

CTVNews I don't think there's a correlation between IQ and infection rate.

CTVNews Which leading scientist? Who is this person? We have the right to know who is lobbying to change the laws in this country.

CTVNews hmm.. no. You are fake news.

CTVNews Absolutely!

CTVNews 'Leading scientists'?

CTVNews I don't care and guess what, I fat shame as well. If you are too fat and you are more concern about wearing a mask than losing weight, then I will be there to fat shame you over this respiratory disease.

CTVNews Stop trying to shame people CTVNews. It's is despicable behaviour

CTVNews That's not what Dr Tam told us

Wait, weren't we told when the virus first came that masks were useless

CTVNews Meh, wear a mask, don’t wear a mask. Doesn’t bother me. I will go about my business and you can go about yours.

CTVNews But people drink n drive like it’s a normal thing. Then get a slap on the wrist.

CTVNews

CTVNews CTV, your daily garbage news is worse than drinking and driving. You push one sided agendas so hard. Never report both sides. That’s why you are fake news.

CTVNews That's idiotic.

CTVNews The energy used to shame our fellow citizens, would be better directed towards public-health officials that mucked this whole thing up. I wear a mask.

CTVNews Based on the safety of others A great majority of people DO NOT CARE if they get it or not They say Covid-19 can harm the brain just like the mask you wear holds CO2 which is just as deadly

CTVNews 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

CTVNews Today I forgot to put my mask on before I went in the store and it the way I was treated was horrible... The man politely asked me to put my mask on and I obliged and went on with my shopping. Can you believe that?

CTVNews Fear porn COVID-19 Measures Unconstitutional: Legal Proceeding against Prime Minister Trudeau: Filed in Ontario Superior Court COVID-19 Measures Unconstitutional: Legal Proceeding against Prime Minister Trudeau: Filed in Ontario Superior Court

CTVNews Why did all of you tell us in the beginning we didn’t need a mask?

CTVNews I don't care.

Stop showing asians in masks and having asians tell us what to do and u might get farther with the donkeys

MSM at it again. Get ready for mask shaming videos. Might as well remove the words kindness and understanding from the dictionary.

You should see drinking and driving stats, if thats any indication there will be far too many not wearing a mask/

If masks were the solution, this virus shouldn’t have spread so widely in places where people were already wearing masks.

How ridiculous

Good!

Good luck enforcing that, not only do people drink and drive but they also toke and drive!

Doesn’t seem like a scientific thing to say. It seems rather political actually.

sjonathan_12 Headline should be Authoritarian scientist says people who won't go along with wearing a mask deserve to be charged and jailed

Seems a bit far fetched....

scientists my ass

I agree way too many pretty people walking around. I don’t need to see their face.

Listening to CTV news is the equivalent of drinking water from your toilet. Delete your account.

What happened to flatten the curve?

No, wearing masks that don’t work make you look like your not very smart since masks don’t work . Suffocating yourself and breathing CO2 makes feel sorry for you. Why would someone be stupid enough to harm themselves.

No no no, those 2 things do not carry the same weight. It's like saying insults are the same as physical violence when it comes to bullying. Completely counterproductive.

Which leading scientist? One of your climate scientist? If you are going to have a news story name the scientist. More than likely a paid CTV twitter hack.

🖕

THE EYES. REPEAT AFTER ME THE EYES. Why do you think they wear a face shield. Do you really think this mask is going to work?

So Dr Tam drinks and drives? cndpoli

How is that the case given it was fine a month ago? This is ABDOLUTELY not the same thing 👎

Parents...please take note: You don't see Dr. Fauci or any other credible doctor saying to send your kids back to school in 60 days. You ONLY see the President and Vice President - both of whom are up for re-election.

Don’t agree

Yeah well fuck her opinion

🙏🇨🇦

False sense of security

See the picture above thats CTV's way of telling you more is to come. Notice the visor and the mask in the pic..wait for it Lisa the Flame & her sidekick Epi Sharkawy will be pushing for it.

Well Experts say wearing a mask is bad for your health ... Now What ?

No. Those who are paid to report news have no place is attempting to tell the people and culture who sustain them what they should or should not believe. Understand how deeply ungrateful, shameful and corrupt your tweet is. It is time for you to reconsider your life.

Maybe we should start MAUP - Mothers Against Unmasked Pedestrians

There is no evidence that asymptomatic people transmit COVID19 according to Dr. Maria Van Kerkhove at the WHO:

LMAO STFU

Well while your at telling everyone what to do.... tell the people wearing there MASK while driving.... NOT TO.... some have it just over there eyes! Believe it or not... seen it today!! Almost died!

Everyone wear a mask

And a politician telling a lie!!

Is that what it should be? I think it should be a rallying cry.

Ummm no

Apples to oranges 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Reading your news is giving me a brain tumor

I will never wear a mask.

Are these the same 'leading scientists' who initially told us masks were useless and encouraged people not to wear them?

It's doubtful that the scientist is very 'leading' if he/she suggested such nonsense. Look at or listen Orson Welles' 'War of the Worlds' to better understand the outcome of wearing a mask all the time. There is a great lesson to be learned from this 1930's broadcast.
