He said it will improve when it warms.
You've ranted about it.
(CNN)A prestigious scientific panel told the White House Tuesday that it doesn't look like coronavirus will go away once the weather warms up. President Trump has claimed that "when it gets a little warmer [the virus] miraculously goes away."

Australia had their peak during their summer last February. New Zealand too reached 0 during their winter. Spread is easier if indoors due to weather but it is not the sole factor.
The reason for the uptick from my observations is people no longer caring about social distancing, mask wearing and other preventative measures. Most of the offenders and most of the cases (at least in Ontario) are young people. The good news is that most of them won't require hospitalization so its not as concerning as when it was across the board.
I also expect a spike about 2 weeks after schools open where the do. In Toronto that is 2 weeks from Thursday.
Schools are open in SK, we have 8 new cases today. A couple at schools and a daycare.

Sounds like you forgot about your rant.

You never did reply when I asked how did Trudeau know shit would hit the fan come March waaaaay back in January when they borrowed $296B USD.

Why was it downplayed and borders kept open until March?

Is it still racist keeping the border closed?

If you have very few cases to start with (SK has few) there isn't much chance of spread. If you have some such as BC, ON, or PQ and you open the schools the virus will spread faster and your case numbers will increase fast. I was suggesting it is a mistake to open schools in areas where the virus is not under complete control.

Trump also did cut off air travel from China much sooner than TrueDope. It was too late unfortunately but still better than up here. We would have been in much better shape in Canada had he followed Trump's lead at that time.


Most of the stuff that has prevented the spread of COVID in Canada has been done by the provincial governments. The ones controlled by the Feds (borders and airlines) were left untouched until the premiers pretty much begged Ottawa to do something.

Hiding at home only coming out to get the flyers isnt leadership.


Most world leaders believed Xi Pingpong that it was contained.

Research has found that it's been around since August of last year.

My hypocrisy? You're funny
And you're sad. So between the two of us, we make up the traditional theatre masks.

How did Trudeau Bungle mangling the Pandemic??
Did hi cal it a hoax?? Did he minimize it?? Did he ignore the advice from the experts??
His wife had it.......so he had personal family experience in dealing with it. He knew how serous it was. Did he bash the experts and pretend he knew more??

But he did

Wark said much of Canada's intelligence-gathering on disease is carried out by the Public Health Agency of Canada. But recent reporting has suggested that the agency's Global Public Health Intelligence Network (GPHIN) was sidelined in the early days of the pandemic.

The GPHIN raised the alarm about a strange, pneumonia-like virus circulating in China at the end of December.

But GPHIN scientists have since come forward to say they felt muzzled and ignored by Health Canada officials when they tried to warn them about the pandemic threat. Hajdu conceded in an interview with CTV on Thursday that, when she became minister of health in November 2019, she had never heard of the GPHIN
There is no comparison.
CNN today commented on the difference in how both countries handled it....... and made their own comparisons...not that it is a contest or anything like that. The only thing he did is stop the flights from China ......... while refusing to endorse the guidelines from the experts. (probably because they were not his idea )
(which is evidence that he can't delegate effectively)
How about his lack of concern for the public......(his rallies)..... where he is not worried about himself.....(being distanced form the crowd ........while the crowd is packed in )
The two men are so different........ they don't belong on the same planet. ;-)
anyhow....... Tomorrow Anderson Cooper has Bob Woodward on for an hour......so there will be more in Trump's own words . Woodward has CREDIBILITY.
The problem is that Trump believes power BELONGS to him........... and he has abused it in dealing with the pandemic Now he has been recorded as saying.....".there was nothing more that he could do". ......... (which is evidence of his incompetence)
Trump could care less about the people of the USA........including his supporters. Why would he hold rallies where there is no precautions (the more crowded the better)..........but making sure HE is distant enough from anyone . He even told one lady that she was coming too close to him........ but ignored the fact everyone else was shoulder to shoulder.
One could say that he is a homicidal POTUS......... due to how he puts h his followers in danger. (after the last rally......he said" lets' see how many get sick/die )

CBC is not credible for you, pretty much Trudie's mouth piece for them to turn on Trudie like this is something that should grab your attention

A week after Trump's call with Woodward, Hajdu told the Thunder Bay Newswatch on Feb. 14 that Canada had seen "a stabilization of cases."

"I've talked a lot about how we have the outbreak that is obviously related to a physical illness ... but there's also the outbreak of fear and the pandemic of fear is a very common partner to pandemics or outbreaks of other illnesses," she told the local news outlet.

"We need to remind Canadians that the risk factor for contracting this virus in Canada is a close contact with someone who recently travelled to the region," she added, referring to Asia.

Two months later, there'd be tens of thousands of new cases — many of them generated through community spread by returning travellers from Europe and the U.S.

And finally listening to our expert from the WHO advisory board

It wasn't until April 7 — 66 days after Fauci's initial alert — that Tam would publicly concede that "the virus causing COVID-19 can be spread from an infected person in the period just before their symptoms appear."

"Evidence suggests that this is happening more often than previously thought ... some infected people who never develop symptoms are also able to transmit the virus," Tam said in a tweet.
