Toronto’s top doctor shares holiday advice amid a ‘steep rise’ in influenza activity

As flu cases continue to climb in Toronto and are expected, the city's top public health official reminded residents to take protective measures when they gather in the coming days, including wearing a mask and getting vaccinated.

"We're seeing this activity at increased levels compared to what we would normally expect at this time of year. Further, we're seeing influenza activity affects all age groups, and we project that it will peak over the holiday period," De Villa said.There have been 2,369 influenza cases in the city since Sept. 4. For the week of Nov. 20 to Nov. 26 alone, TorontoDe Villa said there are already tools available for residents so that they could celebrate the holidays safely.

"So as we interact with others in our community over the holiday season, and especially when we're indoors with people who we don't live with -- people outside of our household -- our risk of encountering respiratory viruses increase. So I ask all residents to do their part to contribute to a healthier holiday season.", Dr.

Bring us real news.

And im sure they will not be following their own advice

No thank you, STOP scaring people!!!! 🤢🤬

Note on hospitals: they’re built w private funds but once built, the govt must run them. Their business plans have always been to keep them at or near capacity as it doesn’t make financial sense to run them with vacancies. Hence why we’ve always had over-capacity issues…

The flu is back?

Nope

Advice that nobody will take, useless!!

Umm the flu has been around forever…take the usual precautions- your choice

This country is ran by clowns!

We can’t live in fear, wear masks, or not see our family/friends the rest of our lives! How about provide ppl sick days so they can stay home and get better! Not worry about losing pay because they can’t take time off when they’re sick!

Oh lord! Someone pls fire this woman! There is always going to be something with this clown doctors and government of ours! Move on! We have to live with covid and other infections that rise! It’s called life!

25 people liked this...: go away

GFY

It is again pandemic of the vaccinated.

We are not masking for the flu. We never did before. We’re not gonna start now.

My immune system never needed your advice my whole life, not gonna start now lol. Clown Show🖕🏼

In who's opinion is she Torontos top doc? IMO, She's sliding into the bottom spots.

Nobody will listen. They'll just all get sick. My DIL is a RT. She's seeing a ton of combos.... RSV,COVID & Flu. Some are extremely ill!

Two weeks and the curve will flatten. I trust her.

All of those top doc should be arrested

She is still trying to be Dr Birx with those scarves.

How about the shares her husband has in vax companies she's promoting?

Top doc huh

We don’t listen to Doug . Why would we listen to you

It’s time for her and the rest of public health to keep their mouths shut. Completely useless

Make that scarf tighter

so now we go from tracking covid cases to flu cases 😂😂😂 oh no 637 cases of the flu 😱😱😱what am I going to do

The Flu is worse than Covid🙏🏼😩

Right, someone in my family had 4 vaccines, plus flu shot and always wears a mask, and got COVID. Care to explain that MS. EXPERT.

People are acting like they have never had the flue, bronchitis, walking pneumonia, strip throat, this the season, our family has survived all of them, and our immune system gets stronger and stronger, less recovery time.

They want you to get your dose of Aluminum and MRNA to thin the herd.

How many top docs are there? And why are they so useless? FORDmustRESIGN

Yes let ruin our immune system some more with masking and washing our hands too much... Time to get rid of these clowns

GFY!!!

Oh yeah, what’s that advice… get vaccinated?

She looks like she needs to wash her dick off

Leave us alone

MAID?

Thank god we aren’t hearing her voice daily

Nobody cares what she has to say. It's cold/flu season, we get it.

Vit D, Vit C, proper exercise, proper rest and proper nutrition… why had this changed since pre 2020…. Oh I know… problem-reaction-solution … is there an election coming up? 🤔

Nobody cares what she says. She pushed a mRNA gene experiment on children with no long term data that killed Canadian children.

She belongs in a convenience store or a laundrymat .

From covid to chest cold and next, regular colds. This is like how they gave fire drills in school, just programming you to take orders!

Don't need advice from you

I guess she doesn’t realize yet that very little of what she says is actually heard.

😂😂😂 'top doc' 🤡🤡🤡

Arrest her

She should just keep quiet.

Those who do not heed the advice should suffer at home, not in hospital, if they get sick.

I wonder how much she got paid to say this B.S

No one cares what they say when they break their own rules. Remember 'Doctor' Moore? Don't spread their lies like truth.

How much money does she get from Pfizer?

No one cares.

See RSV on page 37 adverse events. And page 7 for the number of dead within 3 months of vaxxine. If they have now admitted they have detected the vaccine in breast milk - what is that doing to a breast feeding infant?

250 grand a year for this....

She’s not top anything - pass all around

I’ll pass on any advice she has! Cheers 🥂

Why is this even a news story. We are 3 years into this BS. Stop the goddam constant fear mongering. Nobody except the covid cult follows your advice.

How are these clowns not in prison?

The days of listening to publichealth advice conveniently in sync with holidays (or ever really) are gone! You’re on MUTE !

Perhaps we can eliminate her useless position and redistribute her salary to front line workers who actually carry out healthcare.

Sh!t, she's still around?

😂😂😂 Not reading, not caring, def not listening or trusting this 🤡🤡

🖕 the HC system. How about that?

People have never been sick before 🙄🙄

I thought we got rid of Sleepy De Villa

🙄

“Top doctor”. 😂

Be quiet!

She hasn’t been fired yet

First RSV, then Flu, and come January, good old Covid again.

I will take this into consideration alongside public health's recommendations not to eat raw cookie dough and to limit oneself to two 'small' glasses of wine per week.

StoptheShots

No credibility

This is Tam, but applies to this “Top Doc” as well NoAmnesty

This holiday I'll make Love without condom much as i can, How's that 😏

Literally the flu this time...rest and lots of fluids....whatever happened to that advice from decades ago

lm going to have a normal holiday just like the last few years. Keep ur advice..

Majority of the public just laugh and mock now. Government is insulated to the degree that they don’t even realize this.

What hole are these doctors slithering out from? The flu is the flu. If you’re sick stay home. For god’s sake use your common sense.

Well, Alex, I’d like to take “no chance Susan” for $500

'Top Doctor' 🤣🤡

What happened to the enjoy time with friends and family and make sure that turkey is cooked, salmonella speech?

Cruella De Villa

Top doctors have zero credibility.

I don't think people really care what these 'top paid.' I mean 'top doctors.' Are saying anymore. Let's face it, WHO is a waste of money they fucked up and and same with our PM let's move on let us do what we want with our family without telling us what to do

Are covid and flu ever in the same room?

The bigger the scarf, the bigger the lie

'INFLUENZA ACTIVITY' = normal flu

Devilla? Seriously? I'm sure she's a nice lady, but considering the risk to young people (and older people too) from mRNA gene therapy, that's devilish advice.

I thought that she would be fired by now

Here’s the advice ~ wash your hands, if you’re sick, stay home. Easy.

She has done enormous damage to trust in public health. I’d love someone to ask her the stats on how many lives were saved by locking kids out of sports for over a year.

The last person I would take any advice from!

Thanks tips.

DeVilla how does she still have a job? These people need to be rooted out of our healthcare system!

Can we stop referring to her as the “top” doctor? Shes so clearly not that.

Can't wait to celebrate mask free with a bunch of merrymakers and holiday goers!

The flu came back, the very next year.

Lie and accessorize with scarves?

More like Toronto’s Top Fraudster

leave us alone. please.

No thanks! Whatever the “top doctor” recommends I now do the opposite.

I never listened to her and never will.

She is a top something, alright. Remember when we cancelled Easter-20 to save the summer? Remember when we cancelled Halloween-21 to save Christmas-21?

Lol no thanks

More fear mongering

Lol it’s flu season like any other year. Fear mongering needs to stop

Top doctor. 😂😂😂 are you still spreading this garbage?

'Toronto's top paid doctor'. Fixed it

No one’s interested in her “advice” anymore

Someone should be fired Golden_Pup

Steep rise because everyone's immune systems are garbage after lockdowns. Self made problem.

Having problems, check out my virtual care at Shoppers

This guy still around

thought i told you last time to go away!!!

The controllers lost long ago. It’s called cold and flu season. Always was. Always will be.

Shut your mouth and mind your own business I do what I want and you can't stop me!

Not interested in the message. Last year they said families, especially 'unvaxed', shouldn't gather due to significant risks. Well, those families that listened remain separate & broken & will remain apart onward. You have no idea of the damage you have done. Families divided.

propaganda

Please shut up…we do not need your advice. Get a real job

Now we are scared of the flu? Fix the health system and stop downloading the problems to the people.

Is she disabled or just looks slooooow?

Why are you not in jail.

*checks notes

🤡

Toronto’s top doctor sees her shadow 🤬

Top doctors more like most expensive bribe. Stop with the fear mongering

We didn’t ask for advice.

Go away already! Enough!

I’m the Top Doctor of my house🙃

She is on the payroll - hit the ignore button.

Stop! People have gotten sick for years! It happens! Stop preaching nonsense! If you get the flu or a cold deal with it!

Ya, had family over since 2020, maskless, we were laughing, singing and omg still here covid free

Was there some scandal with her husband’s business in regards of the Covid vaccine? I thought she was gone from TV

Hey 'Top Doc' was the Flu hiding for the last 2 years, and what made it resurface? Clown

Oh look...

Inb4 the government is caught not following own advice...

Lol....go clean the cobwebs out of your brain

Lmao shuuuttttt upppp ffs

Corporate poop 24 a corporate owned narrative pusher for the pharmaceutical companies. Garbage in garbage out.

This chick still has a job?

Who gives a rats ass I'm spending Christmas finally with my entire family. MASK LESS.

Shove it.

Lmao 'top' doctor. I guess common words have lost all meaning along with common sense these days

Why is this chick always wearing a scarf?

Just bring back masks to help Toronto

Just put a mask on her so we can’t hear her anymore

The problem is that we weakened our immune systems with the Covid mesures...

Lol get bent!! I will do me as I have always done

Just a flew now ?

Flu sesson?

How does she still have a job?

Lol..lol..lol...lol...so Christmas isn't canceled this yr...oh thank u masters

Yea I don't listen to her anymore.

Say what you want, just dont tell me to get a fool shot.

“So whether you're gathering with family, or having dinner with colleagues are entering a large crowd of Merrymakers or holiday goers…” Who the hell talks like this? Merrymakers and holiday goers. We live in Whoville?

Breaking news: People get the flu in flu season. More at 11.

Ok give it up ppl. The jig is up 🤣

🤣🤣Now it's becoming like a SNL skit.

If I was told 2 years ago that a nobody with a pen and a collection of scarfs would emerge from the shadows of City Hall and single handedly do more damage to the city and extended areas than any bomb or virus ever could, I would have said, nah. But he...

Nah, she can stick those suggestions!

Oink

That scarf needs to cover her face up... She doesn't need influenza to look that gross

Got the flu this year, blame myself for not getting my annual flu shot. Horrible illness, this year's variant seems to be quite a punch, puts you in bed for days without eating. Learned my lesson, get your flu shot.

I got her a new scarf for Christmas

Scarf lady makes an appearance.
