When will are elected leader JustinTrudeau and the liberal_party stop all international travel? This is getting serious especially with a 27 days incubation period. cdnpoli

We now need a moratorium on travel to and from Iran. Isn't that obvious? It should be.

wash your hands and quit picking your nose

Diversity with be our downfall. We need to end dual citizenship for all new Canadians going forward cdnpoli

Go through the arrivals now at Pearson. Scary stuff - hard to believe we are not restricting high risk countries from entering Canada. Given up flying until this passes.

I hope that the people affected by the corona virus are not the family of the victims of the downed aircraft, that would be terrible double whammy....

So Iran is a more problematic destination than China?

A woman in Australia was just confirmed too, after returning from Iran.

Why are we not shutting down flights to and from infected cities/countries? PROACTIVE works better then REACTIVE

388 cases and 34 deaths - little higher than the 1-2% rate we have been told?
