Many health experts say people don't have the accurate data to make decisions about COVID-19 risk.

Correct, most don't know 78% of deaths are in obese people. If we simply amplified the importance of a healthy weight deaths could easily be cut in half

Oh so cbc is the experts? Anybody else posts or asks questions they get banned or jailed online.

Does CBC have any credibility to even post about this? It sounds resoundingly like fake news.

Follow up article suggestion…. Hypothetically can you walk us through, with the many health experts, how a few different people would make risk-based decisions? What’s the accurate data required and how is it used?

The corporate world therefore government want vivid over so there you go, provinces ignore facts and $$ over lives

They won’t get it from the CBC either or any mainstream media sources. Pathetic journalism.

You've got to be kidding me. They just do not care

cbc You were part of hiding data for fear of vaccine hesitancy. Why don't you come clean on your reporting and was really influencing your decisions. You jeopardized your integrity and now your faithful listeners agree its time to defundthecbc

Would you just go away already…. 45000 people at the last jays game….no masks…..Covid is over!

Freedom with responsibility should always be the default, not mandates and restrictions

People are taking their news from Social medias. Some will open google and search for whatever fits their story and call it science. Information is hidden within a ton of misinformation or semi-truth that is not verifiable. Lack of critical thinking, lack of context in medias…..

Just like last Christmas break when cases skyrocketed, this time it is getting worst. Many friends, colleagues and relatives have the Covid and the source are work and school

Many media experts say people have been systematically lied to by the CBC and Canadian government regarding accurate COVID-19 risk data.

LOL you can take down my tweet you don't agree with but your still a clown! don't think I did see that!

Do you remember eHealth Ontario? $8B of tax payer’s money vanished under the Liberals AND Conservatives! Ontarians still lack integrated health records or reliable pandemic data. And now: those behind the scandal are leading the system! BBCWorld GovCanHealth fordnation

For sure they don't because clowns like you guys bury the truth and wont do your jobs and report the actual TRUTH! Time to learn to live with it masksdontwork TIMEFORFREEDOM!

Just think when the cpso threatened all the doctors.. ethics completely gone without ethics no information and no trust

So what 'data are the government using

Neither do the people you interview or get your info from

HoW cOulD trUDeaU LeT This hAppeN?

What data? I am NOT even allowed to book a appointment for PCR test in NS.

Cause. The govt keeps lying about it cdnpoli

I believe CBC does not have the accurate data. Misinformation is always coming from CBC. Told what to say and how to say it. fakenews

Blame Disney & DNC

Especially when it comes to studies showing the risks of 5-12 year olds taking the vaccines VS getting hospitalized by covid-19. The science doesn’t seem to exist? I can’t find it anywhere. Note: Please don’t send me a “it’s safe article” from the CBC, Canadian Gov or Pfizer.

Is expert the new moron?

Covid is now no worse than the common cold. Not dangerous like it used to be. Just get a box of kleenex and some warm soup and take a rest.

Here is my take and I am not a doctor. But I think what is adding to a lot of the increased spread of omicron is some questionable advice from CDC & PH Canada. Don’t just wait 5 days after a + test. Best is to wait until symptoms resolve + 2 negative rapid tests on 2 days. ½

Loool, this coming from the “vaccine stops transmission” ppl or the “Covid not transmissionable from human to human” crowd. Ok 👍

After two years of constant COVID saturation and you honestly think we don't have enough informed How far is your head stuck up there?

No Sh*t

It looks like COVID-19 created the best market for the media and politicians.

Please tell me what the datq is that Curfews in Quwbec worked. Pretty please

Ya know anything Airborne you need this right? Instructed in the military and at no time did my lesson plan say if the charcoal filter doesn't work, use a cotten/cloth mask. You think the Government would tell you that? Imagine the hysteria? Wake up fools. Notice the eyes covered

Freedom convoy and all their gunsals have those answers, just ask them

So where were the scientists and doctors when Governments thought they knew it all about Covid. The Government are still playing the same old tune selling the last covid doses for Big Pharma.

Hey crazies I have property in Quebec, anyone interested msg below :)

Over the past few weeks the fed gov't Covid stopped reporting cases in many provinces. First AB stopped reporting. Now, only PQ, ON and NFLD still even report numbers. But if you are smart you know the cases are spiking again and you should take care.

Show the real data. Show the wash water test results by city and region, that would help.

the average person believes some nobody on Facebook because they are too scared to face reality. Scary times

What data does someone need…there’s a virus out there so wear a mask…!

That's because people have not been given enough reliable, so called 'expert', information from the outset.

Health 'experts' have proven over the last two years they don't either.

'Experts'.

To be fair, many people including health experts lack the accurate data needed to make informed decisions. 🙄 Much remains conjectural, even two-plus years into the pandemic

We’ve got all the information we need to be able to see that it’s been a racketeering operation since day one

thegreenpagesBC We’ve been told almost every day every month for more than 2 years. Wear a mask, keep 6 feet apart, get vaccinated. Or end up really sick, hospitalized, on a ventilator or dead. What more do they want

Gee,I wonder why that is. Look at our Federal politicians. Our PM goes out and hangs out at a cocktail party, w/o a mask next to Prince Charles, Bill Gates and company while in Scotland. Meanwhile, we find out the 2m distance was actually just made up. Also, The Super Bowl. 🤦‍♀️

It’s a flu. Stop it.

It’s over. Move on. No more experts, no more tests, no more opinions. If people die so be it.

Correct.

Define 'health expert' Define 'accurate data' Define 'decisions' Define 'Covid-19 risk' Media spent 2 years unethically spreading Covid Doom Porn causing many Canadians to live in non-factual state of anxiety. Sign of mental illness to defer to CBC on matters of health.

Why continue with faulty data anyway ?

That’s because society was unwilling to do what needed to be done. Now we’re stuck with several Covid mini variants that can reinfect after a shot period. That plus the unknown cumulative affects of repeated infections. That’s not normal at all

We've got 9 pages, single-spaced. How much more do you need?

the least we can expect from government is accurate daily data. only then can we decide to take extra precautions.

Hahahaha… because they don’t believe your false narrative

The Peterborough Local Risk tool is brilliant - simple, easy to understand and fairly simple to update

I been waiting for this day to come, but it ain’t right yet, I’m waiting to hear that we haven’t been told the truth yet about the Virus AND about the vaccines

TRyanGregory Here is a WEE CLUE! Every time we have removed any or all safety measurements.... Another wave has hit us. So pretend that ALL of them are in place. Until you hear.... Covid has ENDED world wide.

TRyanGregory We are in the middle of a PANDEMIC. Wear a N95 everywhere. Get all your boosters. Have proper HEPA air filtration and Ventilation. Follow every Safety measure... Ignore our incompetent Provincial governments. Do this until Covid has ended world wide. It is very simple.

Awesome journalism when you keep it vague and general: “Many experts” and “say people” and “Covid risks”🧐

PECsandbagger If you don’t like what is stated then just find another “expert”. Enough of them have come out of the woodwork.

This alarms me but doesn’t surprise me! What alarms me more is that even if they had the accurate data, far too many people wouldn’t change their behaviours. They just won’t believe it or worse still, they just don’t care. I’m not sure we can fix this.

No data, no rules! Over 80% of the population that followed the HO, got vaccinated, lost loved ones and their livelihoods, are now forced into our own self imposed lockdowns. But the FreeDumbConvoy and anti covid crowd continues the spread.

fordnation fail

BCNDP,are harming the citizens they rely on to pay taxes,mass infecting of the citizens of BC is INSTITUTIONAL ABUSE

I don't rely on you government funded, biased teleprompter readers to give me advice or information.

What does it matter. We have no idea what to do with the data anyway

Here's accurate data; Farm workers, entering Canada DO NOT have to be vaccinated. Living & working in close quarters & putting co-workers risk?! Yet Ontario health workers who care for them must?! 'When my contract up, if they ask me to vaccinate I'll go home, f**k them'. Smh

What data do you need to hear that you haven't heard for a few hundred times over the last 2 years? Take the vaccine, practice social distancing, wear a mask when in public and keep out of crowds.

Isn't the conventional wisdom in that situation to err on the side of caution ?

People will not listen anymore because the CONServatives in provinces that lifted all mandates act like COVID is over. The CONServatives are fully responsible for this next damaging wave.

'Assess your own risk' they tell us, while denying us the information we would need to even attempt to effectively do so. Our governments are knowingly endangering and abandoning their own citizens to disability & death, and we keep letting them.

Stupid people! Don’t think you can calculate your own risk and live an independent life!

At this point who cares. It's not like people are smart enough to understand the 'data' and the 'data' is questionable at best anyway.

This thing is over

Provincial health officials have the data on who is most at risk based on age, comorbidities, etc. For some reason they don't release it.

One might say had a hand in that. Fear-mongering, click-bait headlines and opinion articles by so-called experts instead of hard, cold, facts.

Risks?, it means that is more scary than most of the people want to believe. Few loud so call scientists like Fauci in order to keep their jobs will keep scaring us

I have 1 data. I don't care.

Yup.

If they are too stupid to get the answers -write your epitaph.

We've had inaccurate data for two years. Numbers fluctuated based on narrative.

Well.....who has this 'accurate data'? Only politicians?

I have the numbers.. * 1 in 50,000 people are in the hospital with COVID * I have 3 shots * I'm healthy * I know my age What more info would I need?

It's called criminal. And it's about time our media and the police begin taking it seriously. Our Conservative premiers are killing people so they can pad their pockets and the private pockets of their donors and corporations. It's all right there in front of us.

How many more years of our precious lives do we have to waste on this damn virus..thank you China

Ffs more “experts” We don’t need mandates or restrictions, we are capable of making our own heath decisions. Time to end all restrictions now

If people don't have the correct information then that can be laid at the feet of the media, government and health departments... Not one of these entities were ever on the same page at the same time ever! The decisions they made were comical at best.

We're on our own.

Where was the information when the first vaccine was being forced on the masses? Now enough information matters?

If you’re vaxxed then you’re protected, if you’re not then it sucks to be you

Even when people have the information they deny it - reference; anti-vaxxers, anti-maskers. So let’s not give the great unwashed too much credit for rational thought and decisions.

“Experts”

My local hospital and old age homes are FILLED to capacity with covid cases.

It needs to be a meme or some jack off website for conservatives to believe anything

Many aren't following scientists and doctors. They didn't do well/go far in school and so they are used to taking advice from truckers, warehouse workers and dimwitted, failed businessman Presidents.

The government doesn’t have the data, Canada doesn’t…premier decisions! Incompetent fordnation

They are called PPC voters.

Well you can blame the media for that then
