Quebec officials announced Monday that they are taking the drastic step of throwing the province into a lockdown amid an explosion of Omicron cases.

“The situation is critical. The explosion of cases is overwhelming,” Health Minister Christian Dubé said at a press briefing. “Our health system is already in crisis.”

Dubé said establishments such as bars, cinemas, concert venues, gyms and spas in the Canadian region will shut down starting at 5 p.m., CBC News reported.

Working from home is now mandatory for all non-essential employees, including government staffers.

Restaurants, which are allowed to operate at half capacity, must close by 10 p.m.

Meanwhile, sporting events will not be allowed to have spectators, officials said.

It’s a good thing the virus knows to keep track of time. But this time for reals. Two weeks to flatten the curve.

Three weeks from first report and the situation is “critical”?

How phony

Hope he destroys their economy - they deserve it

It’s not paranoia or hysteria.

It’s evil.

Sheer, unadulterated evil.

Bunch of pu$$ies. THAT -- not some knock-off of the common cold -- is the REAL pandemic.

An Ontarian wanted to become a Newfie (ie. a Newfoundlander). He went to a neurosurgeon and asked “Is there anything you can do to me that would make me into a Newfie?” “Sure, it’s easy.” replied the neurosurgeon. “All I have to do is cut out 1/3 of your brain, and you’ll be a Newfie.” The Ontarian was very pleased, and immediately underwent the operation. However, the surgeon’s knife slipped, and instead of cutting out 1/3 of the patient’s brain, the surgeon accidentally cut out 2/3 of the patient’s brain. He was terribly remorseful, and waited impatiently beside the patient’s bed as the patient recovered from the anesthetic. As soon as the patient was conscious, the nurosurgeon said to him - “I’m terribly sorry, but there was a ghastly accident. Instead of cutting out 1/3 of your brain, I accidentally cut out 2/3 of your brain.” The patient replied “Qu’est-ce que vous avez dit, monsieur?”

Canada after 23 months of the “pandemic”

https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/region/canada

( 30,097 Canadians officially dead over almost two years / 37,742,154 Canadians still living ) x 100 = 0.08 % dead in about two years time.

0.08 % — In plain English, eight one-hundreths of one percent dead in 23 months.

La situation est critique! Notre système de santé est déjà en crise... La fin du monde! S’il vous plaît envoyer plus d’argent à la gobernment. Obéissez-nous

Still funny, each time the various versions of this joke is told. Merci beaucoup!

Trudeau doesn’t find funny. That’s funny too!

Well, I guess they have to lockdown the province / country / world
to prevent a SECOND person from dying from / with the evil omicron.

You wouldn't want THAT now would you?

“This, m’lady, is why I wanted to not visit your family in Montréal this Christmas. I couldn’t prove it was going to happen, but here’s the lockdown right on cue.”

No. That is only a welcome bonus. The shutdowns are to destroy personal liberty and any notion people have rights.
