i hope these two, and the authorities in general, understand that the ‘george floyd protests’ that are spreading across the globe are not about police brutality or the killing of an innocent black man. ‘george floyd’ is a symbol of the powerlessness that people are feeling in their current situation. a powerlessness that has been exacerbated by the heavy handed and, and in the eyes of a growing public majority, apparently baseless restriction on their right to work, earn a living, support their families, and survive. “i can’t breath” is an expression of their own condition. the people are feeling suffocated emotionally, physically, socially, and financially. ‘george floyd’ may be the match that lights the fuse that triggers the bomb. impact the people’s ability to survive and they will explode.

i would like dr bonnie henry to do a presentation on the economic fallout of the gov’ts response at the provincial level. i think it’s important that she publicly demonstrates that she understands the severe economic consequences and the damage that has and is being caused by her recommendations.

She likely doesn’t understand, and it’s not her job, anyway.
That’s Horgan’s job, but he basically handed over the keys to the province to her and he’s been acting far more like a passenger than a premier.
Full credit to Jason Kenney in Alberta for declaring already he will not extend the health emergency order there when it expires there in mid-June.
No such leadership in B.C., and it’s totally becoming a disgrace.

i appreciate the need to make a buck but maybe global could dial down the number of commercials during these presentations. stop running them every 3 – 5 minutes please.

PUBLIC TRANSIT….I have a very great friend that has worked for West Coast . I was told by that friend that the precautions that the company have taken, ARE A JOKE!!! I think someone from the Health Ministry should have a look because apparently they have a shower curtain (as thin as a shower curtain).

Colloidal silver 💦, olive leaf 🍃, oil of oregano 🌿, intravenous vitamin C, ozone therapies 💭, mushroom 🍄 supplements, vitamin D3, probiotics, whole food forms of Selenium and Zinc all these can treat many viruses 🦠 no doubt it can treat coronaviruses, Not to mention the PCR test your using to diagnose all the public you have been is less than 50% effective and isn’t the correct test to diagnose people as said by the limitations by the guy who invented the PCR test, god bless everyone let’s wake up public they have been lying 🤥 the whole time to use.

This virus is officially over. They got over 140 locations on the states breaking curfew 🥳 and just meeting upon city blocks squared by the 2 to 3 thousand and sometimes even 10,000 people marching, social distancing is dead 💀 since u got like up to 1 or 2 million American 🗽 kids spreading the virus
🥳😳😷

By the by, the CDC is now confirming pretty much everything we “tinfoil hatters” have been saying since this insanity started:
– COVID-19 tests may be wrong half the time.
– If you don’t live in a nursing home, your chances of dying of this flu strain are practically NIL.

So get an education and a job with the CDC, then you can guess correctly NEXT TIME, and save us all a bunch of time.
