This may belong in late-stage capitalism.

Lamb is a real estate broker and condominium developer--so the worst kind of scum in Canada. He was precluded from building a condo because two 19-century heritage homes got in the way. The city of Toronto did not give him rezoning approval. Somehow, three weeks ago, these giant abandoned heritage homes caught on fire, with police saying that at least one explosion took place inside. Two days later, there was another fire! It could've been anyone!
Every cause of death should be treated with equal importance, and if 5,000 people die from COVID-19 this year, it will be tragic. It is also tragic that 14,000 people die from drug overdoses as well. We do not quarantine the country to prevent opioid overdoses
If we didn't do this, we'd have hundreds of thousands of deaths in Canada--not 5,000.
You don't get an opiod overdose because someone sneezes on you.
If we had an option to self-isolate for many months, we could look at that, but we do not. More people may die in Canada due to the quarantine that due to the virus. On average, Canadians save $160/month. One third of Canadians have no savings. Many millions in Canada literally live paycheque to paycheque.
Maybe you and your fellow rent-seekers caused this?
(in one year we will add another $180B). Who exactly is being helped by this monster deficit? Well, I can tell you my companies are not being helped.
Your companies have sold billions of dollars worth of condos and earned 100s of millions by being parasites. You don't need help.
I am dubious that any of the largesse will really help people. I am sure that abuses from fraudulent claims will occur in large numbers.
In a random test, it has been reported that as much as 70% of the Lombardy province of Italy has been infected with COVID-19.

What if the mortality rate is 1/10th, 1/20th, or 1/100th of the published mortality rates? What if COVID-19 is similar to the seasonal flu based on mortality rates and overall expected deaths?
New York City has about 2,000 influenza-related deaths in a year. In one month, 8,500 have died of COVID-19--and that's with measures in place that you don't think are necessary.
