The bottom line is that epidemiologists and virologists over-estimated the threat that SARS-CoV-2 would present to humanity. Politicians implemented state of emergencies, stay at home orders and social distancing and masking by-laws in response to the recommendations by these epidemiologists and virologists. And now that the dooms day predictions haven't come true, do you expect the politicians and the medical officers of health to admit they over-reacted? Do you expect Justin Trudeau to admit that running hundreds of billions of dollars in deficits was an over-reaction? Why would you expect Justin Trudeau to hand the election over to the Conservatives on a silver platter like that? Admitting you over-reacted is career suicide. You really think Dr. Anthony Fauci, Dr. Theresa Tam, Dr. Bonnie Henry, Dr. Eileen de Villa are going to admit they were wrong and risk losing their jobs?
Politicians become politicians to enrich themselves and their families and friends. They aren't there to service the public. Saving face is more important than doing the right thing. There is no grand one world order conspiracy. The COVID-19 SNAFU is merely a case of politicians doubling down, tripling down on their wrong bets because if they admit they were wrong, they will lose their fucking jobs. Why the fuck would you elect Justin Trudeau again if he ran hundreds of billions in deficits and found out that over-reacted disproportionately to the actual risk and said "oops!" ?
La Rioja's mayor in Spain said that ICU capacity is at 90% but that doesn't tell you jack shit. ICU capacity in Peel Region is 82% and we have far less COVID than Spain. The vast majority of the 82% occupancy in ICU is non-COVID cases. I'm sure the vast majority of the 90% occupancy in ICU in La Rioja, Spain is non-COVID related too. After all, only 12% of total beds in La Rioja is a COVID+ case (though they don't make the distinction here between acute care or ICU beds so we can't just infer that COVID makes up only 12% of ICU beds here. We only know it's 12% of total beds). This is all government statistics.
Maybe in America they'd lose their jobs. In Canada the more they shut down and ruin peoples' lives the more they get rewarded. Look at this from late August:
https://torontosun.com/opinion/columnists/lilley-ford-back-on-top-with-voters
Ford has 61% approval and the PCs are in easy majority status(41%), almost even leading in Toronto. The more dictatorial and anti-freedom they are, the more people love them. Corporations and government employees are fine and have assured pay, small businesses get fucked up the ass and have no voting power.
Trudeau is in majority territory despite all he's done. https://newsinteractives.cbc.ca/elections/poll-tracker/canada/
The average Canadian voter is a savage who can be made to vote based purely on emotion and fear.
Exactly. The average voter is a scared pussy ass Karen NPC. I have been saying this awhile. There is no need for Justin Trudeau and Doug Ford to admit they over-reacted. Because the voting public is so paranoid over this virus that the politicians don't even need to admit they fucked up. The politicians would just be hurting themselves in the polls if they admitted they made a major mistake.
People are waiting 6 hours in fucking lines to get tested for covid. Fucking smoothbrained idiots.
I'm noticing some maskfaggots are downvoting you btw. Even here there are doomer queers,.
I took my dad to the hospital for his cancer treatments earlier this week and noticed a huge lineup going out into the street. There was even an accident there. A pedestrian got hit.
Motherfuckers are risking automobile accidents, accidentally hitting pedestrians, something that actually puts motherfuckers in a hospital and kills people, in a mad scramble to get tested for a virus with a low death rate. lmao. What is our world coming to?
The test positivity rate in Ontario is 0.9%. That means 99.1% of people who get tested test negative. And you have people wasting their entire day to get tested why? In Spain, the test positivity rate is 13.2%. Relax peeps. They have 10,143 COVID hospitalizations in Spain according to their data and the sky hasn't fallen on Spain yet. We have 58 in Ontario. Relax.
