So if your on death's door you wouldn't want to try anything that may save you?
I agree, however the article I posted tried to suggest that the shipment was of the N95 sort, not until you read down a ways do you realise that it was surgical masks. Trying to suggest that Trudeau has outsmarted Trump over the 3M ban.
Whose fault is that ?I have that problem too.
Hi, my name is Peter and it's been two weeks since last glass of single malt.
The problem was the 3m facemask ban
That is on President Game Show Host and is something that Canadians are never going to forgive or forget.
To escalate a situation like that would serve to make hot-hotted Canadians happy for a few minutes while increasing the length of time it took to solve the issue.Add to that the limp response from TrueDope. The proper response would be to block the paper they need to make the masks. Divert it to local manufacterers and start making our own masks. But some speeches and a sternly worded letter will work almost as well.
Good thing republicans aren’t brain dead idiots , they might be making a run on the pet store .
Canada's top doctor says non-medical masks can help stop the spread of COVID-19

My God what a ridiculous argument this has turned into.
You know those plastic face shields the medical people wear when handling infectious disease?
Guess why they put that on.
So that when a patient coughs or vomits fluids all over them it gets on the mask instead of on them.
Do you think that would help prevent the spread of the sickness?
Of course any type of covering or shield is going to help prevent the virus from getting on you and in you.
and/or out of you and onto someone else
Coronavirus: New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo doubles maximum fine for breaking social distancing rules to $1,000 as state cases rise

I'm afraid that Americans are not going to be following all these so-called rules and regulations very well.
They can come and go as they please as they have the inalienable right to the pursuit of happiness.

I dont worry about the flu, I've had 90% of them and I get a flu shot every autumn. If you're over 40 it's insane to not get the shot.
Whereas all Canadians are obediently following the fascist rules like a herd of sheep.
This year I not only had the flu shot but a pneumonia vaccination as well. Didn't even know those existed. Had to wait for the drug store to get it in but recommended by my doctor so both my hubby and I got that vaccination as well. So far, so good. (fingers crossed). My hubby has COPD so it's important we both stay healthy.
And many were unhappy, why make the same mistake twice? Why not fluff it up as an effort knowing full well of the binding trade deals?Thought it prudent to once again reference this post in which you wondered how Americans would react if America sent aid to another country that was needed locally, well turns out they did. Not to Canada, but to China:

The U.S. State Department shipped 17.8 tons of donated coronavirus medical supplies to China seven weeks ago, when health experts and some American lawmakers were already seeking federal action to prepare the country for the disease.
The massive shipment to China included medical masks, gowns and respirators, now in desperately short supply across America. The supplies were contributed by American companies and nonprofits, according to a U.S. Agency for International Development official.
The State Department touted its aid to China in a press release Feb. 7, three weeks after the first COVID-19 case emerged in Washington state. The statement said the agency was prepared to spend $100 million on the fight against the disease in China and other foreign countries. That was the same day the World Health Organization sounded an alert that such supplies were in critically short supply around the globe.

It is an election year after all.
Points are points. Take em as you get em.
