Everything he said about tests in Canada is false. Getting tested there is easy and free and results are back within 48hrs.
That being said, our government is absolutely clueless about how to deal with the current situation. They have no data, no idea, and no sense. They are flying blind and we are the ones who will suffer as they do their very best to crash this plane.
This is so incompetent. They should be doing enough tests that they are getting less than 5% positive. That means they are catching the majority of infections. Why is there any push back against testing. This is craziness.
The Ministry of Health's technical experts have no idea what they are talking. They are neither technical or experts. They are taking advice from the guy who high tailed it to Baltimore. What kind of person is put in a leadership position to run away when they are actually in need?
This is getting worse and worse every time this government thinks up something new and they spit in the face of the people trying to help. The government and leaders of this country have failed at every step of this pandemic.
Slovakia tested half of their population over this past weekend, 2 million+ rapid antigen tests, 6000+ locations and 20000+ workers. We can't figure out how to test the handful of tourists that show up here after 12 weeks of planning and 9 months into a pandemic. pathetic!
Talk about fake news. Antigen tests are less accurate than a PCR, but they detect symptomatic and asymptomatic with the same accuracy. Some people who are asymptomatic slip through, but most are caught. Is it better to catch 9 out of 10 people with active infections or spend 10 times the amount on a test that takes 10 times as long. Rapid antigen tests taken often is the best approach we have to this virus and getting back to any semblance of a working economy.
How many times a month do you get a new credit card, take out a loan, sign documents, and get new cheques? Also, what are you talking about eliminating the informal/cash economy? You do realize that informal/cash economy means that it is outside of the banking system? How is closing a branch stopping that?
They have no idea whether there is a peak. They are doing no testing. The fact that you have to pay for a test in this country means no one gets tested unless they are sick at the hospital. Their test rate is coming back at 30%+ positive. They have no actual data to of what's happening. They are completely unable to even understand the problem. And yet these are the people who are determining our health and well being.
