What kinda message are you trying to send here. Just like Donald Trump saying he won the elections. Not accepting the truth that you failed.
Like I called it months ago, you're just dragging this on till you end up like Alberta asking for field hospitals then your have no other options left but to shut down.

A hypothetical question - If those 70+ statistics did not exist, would this even be a global pandemic?
