Theresa Tam

[wd9]

Cmon wd, have you read it? The UK has only had serious measures in place for a week and that model deaths were revised down from 500,000 to under 20,000. Use some critical thinking please.

The model was off by more than a factor of 10. The models are garbage and should be tossed.

Here is every critical decision and statement by the WHO and the impeccable Mrs Tam since this thing started. You be your own judge how accurate our so called expert are.

The model was from no action, this stuff isn't that complicated, for most. By the looks of it, they may as well did nothing. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/uk/ https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/uk/

The UK action plan since Mar 3: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/coronavirus-action-plan https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/coronavirus-action-plan

Stay at home

Only go outside for food, health reasons or work (but only if you cannot work from home)
If you go out, stay 2 metres (6ft) away from other people at all times
Wash your hands as soon as you get home

Do not meet others, even friends or family.

You can spread the virus even if you don’t have symptoms.

Flights from china still arrive daily agstarr, how do you reconcile that with your beloved experts advice?

You gladly self quarantine while people still travel here in planes unabated?

They need to keep the virus active - need to keep importing it in. Also need to import an army. ;| Teresa tam is doing a good job - for China.

So if just a week of partial shutdown, lowered the expected deaths by 480,000 or more, then by next week that number should approach zero right and we can open it all up again and just quarantine the people at risk? Just following your logic.

Misinformation is as bad as the virus , so get your facts straight. Sweden is trying a less drastic approach not Denmark.

Sorry Dutch. Not sure what you are talking about though.

If Germany, Canada and the United States are the leaders in limiting mortal coronavirus cases, the Netherlands and the United States are the hero-nations of public policy. The Dutch have refused to be spooked and have not seriously tried to reduce travel or rights of assembly, or attendance at schools and workplaces, though they are trying to protect the elderly and unwell. Yet their fatality percentages are almost exactly the same as France’s, which is on shut-down imposed by the armed forces. The Dutch are reporting only one per cent more fatalities over confirmed cases than the U.K., and two per cent less than Spain and 4.5 per cent below Italy.

Ah yes, this brilliant specimen of humanity Tam said only a few weeks ago that she didn't want to stigmatize anyone by singling them out as being carriers. Or that people with symptoms could be transmitters. "Could they", she asked?

Just an absolute shining model of integrity and factual information, right aggie? Is her racism acceptable to you?

Do you ever come up for air?


Tam stresses the need to work to have affected communities work with everyone else. “Otherwise, they’ll be stigmatized. They will be asked to take measures beyond what is currently the public health evidence. It is a matter of balance when you’re restricting someone’s freedom, essentially, to move about in the community after return. I think that is not something that we would take lightly.”

Powlowski continues: “The New York Times are reporting that they think the disease is communicable during the incubation period, meaning that when people are asymptomatic it can be transmitted… Britain has already taken action in terms of voluntary co-ordination. It would seem to me to be something that maybe we ought to consider. I don’t know how drastic that is.”

Tam says that Canada was working on this with the WHO. “They know they have to get to the bottom of this, but we do know that even people with mild symptoms don’t transmit very readily. Could they? It’s possible, but that’s not what drives an actual epidemic … I think we have to be reasonable in our public measures and just balance out the risks and benefits. In terms of the impacts, they are not simply health impacts, but psychological and other health impacts, as well as non-health impacts, those being societal and economic as well.”

Would you trust a doctor who favors feeling over facts? I don't either.

there, you have finally faced reality. Not that I would expect a leftard to admit it.

I hope Dr Tam is not a Virtue Signaling appointment.

She is the one at the switch to turn the economy back on.

I bet we watch ball games on tv for two weeks before people are allowed to open businesses and go back to work as Justin will defer to the best expert advice.

It's easy to say "To soon".

[bobofthenorth]

Listen to her, she gives the facts. 184000 tested. 7% hospitalization 3% critical 1% death rate.

She's either clueless or maliciously trying to kill Canadian citizens. Either way she needs to go. The sooner the better.

When an oilfield worker loses, his job, his house, his wife and his pension, will be blamed the flu or Trudeau? How about any non govt employee? The waitress at the pizzeria whose husband is in advertising at the radio station, when they are both unemployed, will they think this is worth while? If there's less then stacks of dead, they will riot after losing everything. Why should they sacrifice everything? Who decides the waitress and salesman needed to sacrifice everything to prevent nothing. A govt paycheck and no job provides too much time to think. If this bug mutates it'll be complete disaster as the waitress and salesman are not taking anything seriously 12 months from now. What does a retiree do after watching 25% of the pension and 25% of the equity in their home do? No jobs, you don't qualify for credit to buy a home. Big picture here. 3 million unemployed. Largest employer is small business. Restaurants won't reopen after this. This is BAD.

Trudeau, Tam, should be living scared right now. They know they blew it completely and the scenario you laid out is realistic.

They both put out false assurances knowing full well what was inevitable. But, politics...

It almost looks deliberate.

Whether it's government or the masses, one should never underestimate the power of stupid people in large numbers. We have seen the Justin Trudeau Liberals demonstrate the first.

Tam has not directed any significant measures, far less than "Pakistan, a third world country".

Pakistan is taking temps, spraying luggage at numerous locations beyond airports.
YYZ is "business as usual".

It appears that she subscribes to alternate facts.

BTW, has anyone seen Rosie pursuing a story on the streets since her love-in with our house-bound sock boy hero??
