If those that got tested for covid actually got a seasonal flu test instead, then it would have been the seasonal flu and not covid. 5. It's early in the flu season, but CDC compares the same point in time as in previous years. Lastly, so this will be an annual concurrence now just like the seasonal flu. Covid will never go away. What's the need for over reaction then? We never locked down with the seasonal flu. And if covid keeps coming back, what's the lockdown for? 4. I don’t think you understood the point. When serious respiratory illnesses get tested they will likely get tested for COVID first. We are also much more likely to test for COVID than we would for someone that we suspect has the flu. That is for a myriad of reasons most prominent of ehicj]h is COVID is deadlier and more infective than the seasonal flu. What you get tested for does not determine what you have. 5. Yes, that is true and if anything the flu is delayed this year because of points 1-3. We don’t know if COVID will be an annual occurrence. There are a lot of undefined variables yet. Hard to watch the number of people dying and getting long term illnesses and call it an over-reaction. The lockdown is to keep us getting to the point where the US is where the health care system is flooded and people die that could have survived and die from other non-COVID illnesses because of the overcrowding. I can’t believe I still need to explain that last point. If at this point it still needs to be argued that this is not like the flu then you are wilfully closing your eyes to what is happening, callously disregarding the deaths of well over a million people globally and actively working to kill more. 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, this is ridiculous. They haven't decided this so it makes no sense to compare. They obviously have demonstrated that they are empathetic/kind and likely never would. So please don't muddy their names in these waters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donnelly could easily sue for wrong dismissal if he was on the payroll. What if he doesn’t go now? Plus since when do we fire people for speaking there mind? What if he was going to go there while social distancing? I could follow the rules and still speak against it. I agree with most of the restrictions but it’s easier for me as I’m an introvert and a homebody so it doesn’t change things as much for me. I just wish we provided more resources to the people that are getting blasted by this crisis and not just financially. As a previous poster pointed out, it is highly unlikely that he is an actual employee. He's likely an independent contractor who gets paid by the gig 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which in that case he didn’t really get fired. Im just not going to diminish Mark for what he is doing. Would I have done it if I was him? No. It’s a really risky move for a public figure. But at the same time what makes this country so great is that if you disagree with something your allowed to have a voice. I hope we don’t get to the point in this country where political views determine your employment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His attitude could damage the Aquilini brands. I would never hire or pay an anti-masker. That would mean I would be contributing to detriment of the health of my fellow Canadians. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
