Masks are being worn because Covid is coming back with a vengeance just like Doctor Fauci said it would happen in 2024.
Unlike the USA, Canada still makes public knowledge the daily Covid cases that come into each hospital. Covid no longer made the headline news until recently, but the daily stats are available for those so interested.
Covid and now RSV are making headline news again in Canada because Covid in particular, has dramatically resurged over the past few months, but is now overwhelming hospitals from coast to coast far beyond what was happening in Canada at the height of the pandemic.
Just this morning, the Chief Medical Officer at the Toronto General Hospital got on TV and implored people not to come to the hospital because his hospital is overwhelmed with new Covid patients coming in daily.
Those who show up anyway are being lined up on stretchers in the hallways or being treated in the backs of ambulances that line up in the parking lot, or are simply being turned away at the door if they show up in their own.
The exact same thing is happening just a quick hop across the Canada/US border from Toronto, but it's 10 times worse in the USA with 10 times the population than Canada has. This is because a huge percentage of Americans have not ever been vaccinated even once for Covid or RSV from the outset of the pandemic which started in 2019.
Unfortunately, the US government hides this information from the general American public as everyone walks around like dumb sheep thinking life in the USA is the best you'll ever find in the world.
Why then, did the Canadian Government along with 7 other Nations issue travel advisories to it's citizens to avoid all travel to any part of the USA if non-emergency travel could be avoided?
Sorry for the wakeup call America, but Europe is in the same boat you are because Covid data is hidden from the general public just like it is in the USA.

@swirlie Not seeing what you are saying in the news. Here's the most relevant and current article I could find...
https://www.usnews.com/news/health-news/articles/2023-12-08/u-s-covid-19-hospitalizations-rise-as-new-variant-spreads
[quote]The CDC said in a report published Friday that COVID-19, flu and RSV activity are all elevated, but the agency added that hospital bed occupancy remains stable nationally.[/quote]

@swirlie Ok. I wasn't aware you were red pilled.
So I have multiple friends and family members in the hospital industry, including nurses who work in hospitals all over the East Coast. They refute what you are saying. They do admit that Covid cases are up, as well as other upper respiratory illnesses. But people being turned away? Stuck on the floor? Stuck in ambulances?
You don't know what you are talking about. Maybe Canada has that problem(although again, your press doesn't support what you say) but not the US.

@SumKindaMunster
It's all across North America and Europe my friend, it's actually your reliable sources who don't have a clue what they're feeding you as knowledge.
You really need to stop visiting those right-wing extremist websites you've been gathering your health information from Herman because they're no longer being funded by Donald J. Trump since he's now broke.

@swirlie Anything relevant regarding the discussion and my informed debunking of your nonsense?
You're not even responding to what I said, just posting a word salad of desperate attempts to insult me and take the focus off your bullshit.
Did HippyJoe take over your account?
