Tam suggests protesters use signs or noisemakers rather than increase risk of spreading COVID-19 by shouting in packed crowds

"I think it's people's right to express their support, and in some cases concern, about things that are unfolding both here in our country and across the world," Health Minister Patty Hajdu said Monday at a press conference.

During the press conference, Chief Public Health Officer Dr. Theresa Tam echoed the advice to maintain as much distance as possible, wear masks, and use hand sanitizer. She also warned that shouting could lead to more droplets being spread, and cautioned protesters to consider other methods. "Anything that's more in an enclosed environment with lots of people are the things that local public health will be most concerned about in terms of COVID-19 spread," she said.

"I will caution and remind, though, that the risk is certainly lower being outdoors than being indoors in confined spaces."

Is Dr. Tam a triple agent.

...and the COVID narrative changes again...

All together now whisper I can't breathe

Shouldn’t Dr. Tam be advising ppl unequivocally to stay home? Isn’t that what the science says? Because last week ppl in a park (outdoors) was the pandemic apocalypse. This week don’t yell? Hard to keep up with all that rigorous science going on.

Can't work, can't see your family and friends but our federal gov is promoting the use of signs when your in huge crowds protesting. Holy F, you can't make this shit up!

So... is Dr. Tam saying that social distancing, not wearing masks, congregating shoulder to shoulder is OK, but only if you are rioting or 'protesting'? Man, this pandemic is very different...🙄

What about throwing bricks is that ok Tam

Yet don’t go to work/wedding/grad CPHO_Canada what is it Tam, gather with thousands or not? She has bungled covid from the beginning, lacks common sense . She needs to be fired. cdnpoli

Will white people be called racist for criticizing poor spelling, grammar and punctuation on the protest signs, or will JustinTrudeau just have us arrested for daring to be privileged in our literacy?

Tam is high risk; replace Tam or don’t report her opinions.

Yet a drive-in has to be limited to 50 cars even though only every other stall is being occupied. SaveTheTwilightDriveIn

They can hold up this picture

Well I no longer think main stream media in Canada is trying to hide their bias and promotion of liberal ideals. This article is absurd, and completely incongruent to coverage about alternative protests that occured just recently across Canada regarding the lockdown. What gives

Justice for all the innocent victims being beaten and killed by these savages as the Canadian fake news is complicit and acting like looting and murder it is ok for some reason, ashamedtobeCanadian, stop fake news like

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Lol, oh dr tam. What a wonderful bundle of wisdom you are.

🤡✈️✈️PaidMedia

So it's ended just like that?

You can’t make this shit up, a few days ago people were being handed $800 tickets and being publicly chastised for sitting in a public park. Today, it’s all good to go Raging Against the Machine by the thousands! Liberal rules bend in political winds

Why is anyone still listening to her or pandemic Patty?

How do you report this with a straight face? Or maybe you don't realize how stupid this is... Holy cow!

This idiot tam said no needfor masks , then she said social distancing and now she is ok to protest ? Where did this chick come from ? Wuhan !

Tam is either stupid or insane for saying it. CTV, you are a joke for reporting it.

Yes they should be very responsible rioters! LMFAO. Is Dr Tam on crack? Smoking marijuana? Or just that stupid

Tranny-Tam is rapidly closing in on Trudeau’s idiot level.

She has gone full blown crazy.

So she promotes no social distance, because you can't have it both ways ( protesting) So is COVID 19 real or not? Or is it over. These health official have to get their story straight on the same page, it doesn't work both ways or is their another agenda

YUPPER.... the same ‘ol TAM

Tell them to go home

Lol covid stopped as soon as the riots in USA started

Fucking joke

So the PlanDemic is over No more social distancing!!!!!!!!!

Canada is beyond parody.

Why don't they stay home and protest on line like the parliament runs Canada Much safer

They called for the police 3X...now they're yelling police brutality. So next time you have a domestic problem don't call the police, deal with your problem yourself. Some people just have nothing better to do with their lives so they cause trouble to get attention!

How can anyone take Beijing Tammy seriously?

JLCWood2017 I guess coronavirus is over now...

Is protesting now medically accepted? I wonder when the second wave will hit? We can thank Tam for it.

What happen to the social distancing rules ? Our business, forced closed, we have followed all the rules, but now it’s okay if you are protesting they don’t have to follow the rules. ? What about all the tickets you gave out to non protesters. fordnation JohnTory CPHO_Canada

Tam - just one more virtue signalling corrupt Lieberal!

JLCWood2017 Y'all stay at home and the violence would stop

JLCWood2017 Dr Tam is an idiot that has lost all credibility

Unbelievable really freaking unbelievable

Where the hell did they find this woman? She’s just as stupid as Climate Barbie!!!

I'm surprised she made this suggestion all on her own without waiting for the WHO to tell her how to do her job.

Just dont shout moistly

Look at the CDC guidance from last week. Death by covid is 0.006% for anyone under 50

Tam is desperate to remain relevant when great swaths of the country thinks she needs to disappear. We are no longer afraid, she is now a comedy show.

Truly the most stunningly stupid comment I have seen today. This is the same person that helped kill our economy with her bad medical advice. This is the best we've got?

Can't fix stupid

TrudeauBlackface TrudeauGate TrudeauDictatorship TrudeauMustGo FakeNewsAlert FakeNews

I cant go to the park but they can assemble in large crowds? I thought covid was important...

The Onion Chief Medical Correspondent Theresa Tam

She’s still trying to push the narrative, of the virus lol we all forgot about that a while ago

The covid hoax is dead , ctv . Let it go

Seriously?

Imagine these were all 82 year old people.

Id prefer it if most of the protestors keep shooting,and stand as close to one another as they'd like! Then assuming Darwin was right part of our problem will be solved. Society really doesn't need more looters,vandals thugs and terrorists. So Breathe Breathe...YOU CAN BREATHE !

All of these protests are putting the lives of frontline health care workers and vulnerable people at risk. Shameful

America + Covid 19 = 🤡🤡🤡

Can someone please shut her the hell up! I thought Hadju benched her!

The Plandemic's dead the cure was racial outrage!

Seriously?

No worries. She will change her mind in about three weeks.coronaviruscanada

Lmao what ? 😂 and this women is a doctor ?

If we can gather in groups of thousands, then we can ALL go back to work. Covid is cancelled!

Be careful of moist riots!

Wow these news reports have become a great source of entertainment lol

Lol now protest in your own Neighborhoods

Protest her! 🙄 She’s useless and aims to govern everyone’s behaviours, actions and now SPEECH!!!

No protesting moistly!

Talk about tone deaf.

So, should the shouters wear masks? Or no? Sanitize the noise makers? Where do kazoos fit in the mix?

🤣🤣🤣

lol,she is so stupid! 她这个傻逼, 真贱!

Resign you CCP plant

The Pandemic is Over ...

Why nor say, DO NOT LOOT!

Ha ha ha ha

Perhaps law encryption should enforce the public health orders? You know do their jobs...

Why isn't she telling them to stay home? Pandemic over?

So the government isn't even urging people not to attend protests during a pandemic? Does that mean it's over?

The nuttiness just keeps coming from the Liberals and their crew. It's astonishing how out of touch they are.

She proves who moronic she is everytime she speaks

Her response should be for protesters to stay home.

Omg!

Also make sure you're using Lysol as a vaccine and be sure to pull your mask a little higher to cover your eyes..

Sign language use sign language or better yet everyone mime, now that's a protest I'd buy a ticket to watch.

Geez she still around too

You lost me at Tam. He has no credibility with me!

Tam can go lick a toilet seat.....

Lmao this is hilarious 😂

I'm pretty sure they're hanging on her & Trudeau's every word.

It’s just insane!!!! I am speechless!!! 😡😡😡😡😡🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

Or they could just stay home and stop being terrorists. No? We aren’t doing that anymore? Ok, back to normal life then.

They can also just print out CTV articles

FFS!!

Dr Tam nuff said lol

This gotten way over her head.

We have fines that control WE Canadians and some of us have been issued those fines - do the fines not apply to all ppl walking on the dirt that was once Canada?

Maybe the buffoons need to stay at home. The next thing that will happen is mass infections amongst those rioting and protesting and then CTV will run their usual narrative about high infection rates in the black communities.

Politicians! Constantly moving targets, in the hope that eventually some shit will stick.

Tam is a twatwaffle.

So these rioters are getting special treatment? lol what a surprise

Even a broken clock is right twice a day, Tam not even once yet....

Tell them!!!

Silent protests. She can't see the issue because she's weak at her job. Must quit. Tampa sucks

Please don't protest moistly.

Hope they all saved their new years noise makers.....also should they wear the party hat as well?

The level of idiocy of these officials knows no boundaries. Poor Canadians.

next week - we can all shake hands again if we start wiping our ass with our left!

Tam has screwed up the public health response from the Feds royally and should probably sit this one out.

Lol...so is it ok meet with family and friends now

Oh ok. Thanks for your input. LMAO! Oh Canada.

Ya and it's the conservatives who are disconnected

And please wipe the bricks and other vandalism tools with lysol wipes before use. Or better yet leave them at home and be civilized

Dr Evil with more advice

To late, if any attending the protest were infected count on others getting infected. We need a protest against the ones who infected others. In Toronto its a PC prerequisite to care for any cause if one wants to protest.

Floyd’s record. Narrative destroyed.

Lol omg CanadianPM snd CPHO_Canada think they still have control of the country! 🤣🤣🤣

so we can end social distancing as long as its a 'protest'? Can we have protests up at the cottage? Or hold protest music festivals?

🤣

ONG. What will she come up with next⁉️⁉️

How about they tell them to go home CPHO_Canada fordnation epdevilla TBayMOH JustinTrudeau

Way to go Tam
