Theresa Tam, who is now Canada’s Chief Public Health Officer. She’s the one doling out all the science that Trudeau insists underpins every single decision he and his ministers make: “Our focus every step of the way is doing what (is) necessary at every moment based on the recommendations of experts, based on science and doing what we can to keep Canadians safe,” the prime minister said Monday.
It’s more than a bit awkward — but not as awkward as federal Health Minister Patty Hajdu’s immortal March 13th dismissal of travel restrictions: “Canadians think we can stop this at the border, but what we see is a global pandemic, meaning that border measures actually are highly ineffective and in some cases can create harm.” Five days later, the border slammed shut.
We are to believe all of the positions above were supported by the same scientific experts. That doesn’t make sense. Clearly the experts supported the more lenient measures, and then politics intervened.
Tam strongly dismissed the notion even of having all travellers from COVID-19 hot zones self-isolate for 14 days. She warned against “stigmatizing” communities. She very nearly suggested we couldn’t implement travel restrictions even if we wanted to. “Right now… (the World Health Organization) does not recommend travel bans,” she warned the committee.
Tam is asking a lot of Canadians to set aside a lot of common sense right now. There is ample evidence that face masks — even homemade ones — can provide significant protection to the uninfected. But Tam warns only of the potential pitfalls: Masks can provide “a false sense of security,”
Tam sternly advised Canadians against retreating to any “rural properties” they might own. “These places have less capacity to manage COVID-19,” she told reporters in Ottawa. How dangerous, how irresponsible could that really be? If the cottage is good enough for Sophie Grégoire Trudeau and the kids, who beetled off to Harrington Lake on Sunday, some people might conclude it’s good enough for them.

First reported to WHO Dec 31stFirst case in Canada Jan 14thJan 23 China was burning, millions locked down, began building a 1000 bed hospital. These are the ppl in charge of our lives. They had a 2 month warning & they shrugged it off. This is unforgivable.#COVID19#cdnpoli

Replying to @CPHO_Canada A responsible Govt should put their people & medics first, not leaving them to struggle by sending tonnes of equipment away.A responsible professional shouldn't tell others not to use masks just because there's a supply issue. Supply is to be solved by the Govt.

Replying to @CPHO_Canada It seems you've dropped the ball and haven't been able to catch up. Everyone else around the world is advocating for mask use by the public and you maintain it's not required. Is that bc we sent all our n95 surplus to our masters in China? Once this is over, you should resign.
[color=inherit]Arash Ghahremani[/color]@ArGhahremani ·11h Her answer would be, because WHO did not suggest to do it. WHO suggest the best way to prevent the Virus is Testing Testing and testin and she did not do that as well. 3 weeks gone and just about 250000 test. Germany 500000 test per week and increasing to 1 Mil.

@CPHO_Canada1/6Dr Tam,You mentioned using masks are dangerous when misuse, but this is a FAKE PROPOSITION. Misuse of anything is not using it, and is meaningless to talk about.-- You are like telling others "DON'T USE CONDOM coz it's dangerous when misuse"#Marks4All
