2 months ago when media started talking was time a competent government would act.
Here we are today.

Governments will always choose money first before civilians

Justin is going to protect us all with unicorns and rainbows.

All we had to do is shut our borders ... But no we want to risk Canadian Lives. Seriously?

[sixstrings]

Do they have a plan? What plans have they been working on the last 4 weeks? They just now formed a special committee? Are they testing anyone and how many?

Canada plans to bring in as many muslims as possible and then blame Trump for will also hide the truth whereever possible

Is the virus the S or L strain that has infected those in Canada? How many test kits do the hospitals have? Do private medical practitioners have test kits? How many people does the government plan on testing; especially those on return flights from infected countries? Or should we all just wait until the numbers pile up?

*Bet it involves protection of feelings first, so nothing.*

We get Sick but can't get in to see a doctor because we are understaffed in doctors you don't have a doctor you go to a overwhelmed walk in clinic or overwhelmed ER....What happens if this virus gets bad and we lack doctors and staff, we are in trouble you know it we know it. Don't downplay this.

My mom has been stuck in Japan for 24 days and she has the covid19. She is in bad shape but they don't report all. Chances are she my not beable to fight this off b4 she gets back home.. I can't fly over as I have a bad fear of flying plus they won't fly there. I send her what little money I have to help. I make $1000 a month Can. I'm pissed off I can't believe this is happening.

We can only hope that the provinces will deal with it and Justin stays out of the way.

While Canadians take responsiblity for their own safety their fearless leader plans ahead by watching "Bubble Boy".

start panic buying everybody, no trains, no trucks, closed ports = no food.

There is no co-ordinated worldwide response to the corona virus. Every country is doing its own thing. But WHO said at a press conference this week, they support a "blended" international effort. This, despite the words in their own constitution: " To act as the directing and coordinating authority on international health work. " If this arm of the United Nations receives a budget of $4 billion a year. We need to ask, why do they exist?

[thatguywiththeblueberrypie]

They should have been doing this months ago

[tinman]

If Authority's are truly concerned they would tell everyone to just stop moving and shelter in place for at the minimum till the end of the month all except health care workers .
Exactly how many have to die before it is called a pandemic?
