Dropping restrictions gives the coronavirus a free ride, and bad things can happen when that occurs

When B.C.’s Provincial Health Officer recently said the province was altering its pandemic strategy and beginning to manage COVID-19 more like a common cold, more than a few sips of coffee were spit out.While certain virus-related restrictions remain in place, B.C. has removed isolation requirements and testing for most of the population. And while Dr.

Undoubtedly, there are Canadians everywhere cheering these developments. Everyone wants this damned pandemic over with. Everyone wants their freedoms back. Parents, in particular, want to know a world again in which they don’t have to worry about what to do with children who can’t go to school and cry every day about online learning.

But what if, in the desire to give people a desperately needed break from lockdowns and circuit breakers, our politicians and public health officials are making a miscalculation? What if they are setting us up for a massive disappointment? Are they preparing to deliver us to a point where there is no turning back to anything resembling a lockdown, regardless of circumstance?I recently listened to an interview the BBC did with Maria Van Kerkhove, the lead infectious disease epidemiologist with...

When you have more then 50 people dying every day and no body cares, what’s the point of restrictions! It’s about protecting people anymore it’s all political! The provincial election is in few months and Doug ford doesn’t want to rock the boat!!!

Conservatives don’t seem to believe in science.Harper tried to muzzle the scientists They had to protest on Parliament Hill Now Conservative leaders are prepared to cater to the people who follow & believe the fake science on the internet while turning a deaf ear to Canadian Drs

It's not a gamble. The overly scared and petrified have an option, unlike those who lost their job because of restrictions and mandates.

gamble?they have gambled for more than two years, betting everyone’s liberty, freedom and humanity for their gain of tyranny! They did not care about health, treatment, true science! That is their gamble! You liar!

'Governments remove COVID-19 restrictions based on updated risk assessment', Fixed it for ya

Enough of the fear mongering, people will remember down the road which companies like yours kept people hopeless and down. The media has become a parasite living off the fear and misery of people. You’re more dangerous than any of these truckers

A real dumb idea! Way too early! Criminal…more unnecessary illness and death. Our provincial government is letting us down again…our CMOH is letting us down, again! Dangerous and negligent!

What gamble? We have given out 77 million vaccine doses and now have antiviral and other treatments plus data showing who most at risk requiring a fourth dose or isolation. This is not March 2020

Trudeau needs to keep everyone in fear to stay relevant. His problem is trust. No one trusts him and for good reason.

Of course. The only ones that the restriction will affect in any adverse significant way will be the unvaccinated people. Because they in turn will vote against the party in power who does not lift the restriction. So it's a win win.
