On page 2, we can read: ” On the new coronavirus, here are the latest figures. As of earlier today, there were 34,598 confirmed cases in China and 723 deaths. Outside China, there were 288 cases in 24 countries with one death”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you can see below, on February, 9, 2020 (the next day!), Canada sent 16 tones of personal protective equipment to China. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“News release<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

February 9, 2020 – Ottawa, Ontario – Global Affairs Canada<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Canada is working with its partners and international organizations to control the spread of the novel coronavirus. This is vital to helping those affected and protecting the health and safety of people around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To support China\u2019s ongoing response to the outbreak, Canada has deployed approximately 16 tonnes of personal protective equipment, such as clothing, face shields, masks, goggles and gloves to the country since February 4, 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This equipment has been provided in collaboration with the Canadian Red Cross and the Red Cross Society of China.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The above is taken from the federal government’s (Global Affairs) website: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bambi is not saying that we should not help other in life. We should support each other, yes, BUT to do it at our own expenses, this may be a bit foolish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is this why Ontario is already lacking such equipment now?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
