  • At the end of March, most of Ontario was shut down due to the outbreak of COVID-19 for the unforeseeable future, leaving empty streets and an eerie feeling in a deserted metropolis.
    These are the views of the empty city from above, during the 2020 coronavirus pandemic.

We usually manage to stay out of the World woes as I call them but this video shows there are NO boundaries to a novel and as yet incurable virus. It was awesome to see MY City like this. Really well done. I live out in the boonies but on a main road in to Town and I can tell you it's NEVER been so quiet and empty!! Imagine the clips like this from EVERY City and Town around the World ?! THAT would look apocalyptic !

      @Johnny Daniels yes you're right more people die of the common flu. The issue with COVID-19 is its R-NOT factor, is the rate at which it infects is a lot higher than the common flu. COVID-19'S R-NOT is between 2 to 2.3, whereas the flu's R-NOT is 0.8.
      So if we did not lockdown we would have an issue, like certain parts of Italy, where we would overwhelm our health care system. Canada has done very well with our social distancing strategy.

      Had Ontario and the rest of Canada sheltered our elderly and weak only and not implicated shutdowns , school closures and social distancing we as a country would be well on the downward side of the curve to recovery . Financially it would had saved government billions and our economy wouldn't be so damaged and on a direct path to a huge recession . All our current state does is flatten the curve and prolong the epidemic !

    • @doubleud2140
      @doubleud2140 4 года назад +3

      And you know this how?
      The way they are classifying these deaths is questionable to say the least. Most people have multiple serious conditions to begin with and this might put them over the edge as a flu might have done in prior years. However the doctors and hospitals are told to put it down as a covid death without any proof that's what the main cause was. Also, the number of confirmed cases is completely unknown. The number they show you is from those who have been tested. There could be 10x as many that had it and had none to moderate symptoms.
      Do you know what propaganda is? This is it, at it's worst. And they've gotten most people to go along with it like cattle. Funny thing is, when this is all over, they will force you to take their special vaccine, not by force, but simply out of inconvenience. If you want to take public transportation, or have a job, or go to a concert, or take any part in society, you will have to have your papers, saying you're certified and stamped...like cattle.
      Stop being so naive, and stop thinking the government has our best interests at heart, and for god's sake, stop listening to the media.

We did hear bits about this virus earlier in the year but nothing specific or from "trusted" sources. I definitely remember MARCH 11 as the day that I knew this was huge and I referred to it as the tipping point........strange. I wonder how others remember when they knew the seriousness of this virus?

      What do you mean by "roaming the streets"?

      @@gregd166 I may exaggerate when saying this but, I see people who seem like they haven't gone for a walk in 17 years, decide to get some fresh air in the middle of a pandemic.
      I had no other choice to go to a branch for some banking and in line I heard a woman say "the line was twice as long yesterday when i came"... like how much banking do you need to do in a week?

      Isn't it a good thing that chronically sedentary people are taking this opportunity to move their bodies? I see a lot more people going for walks these days as well. Considering that inactivity leads to a multitude of health problems and more deaths than this virus ever could, this public health lockdown may, ironically, make people more healthy. If nobody is invading your space or coughing in your face then why worry about it? As for the bank, perhaps the woman you overheard didn't do her banking the previous day because of the long line. Everyone in the line you were in had as much right to be in that line as you. Don't complain about the behaviour of others for behaviours you are engaging in yourself. Live and Let live.

      @@gregd166 I thought like that about 3 weeks ago. I have mixed feeling about self isolation because of the fact I still work.
      I count my stars that I still have a job and decent hours. I work in logistics and part of a chain that deliver to hospitals and exposed to the worst part of the virus. Although I have all required ppe and awareness, I am still putting myself and my family at risk. I didn't sign up for the military or take an oath to be a doctor, kinda grinds my gears a bit when I see people out'n'about when all that the health professionals are asking for are a few weeks of isolation.
      FYI: I gave the old lady at the bank a extra clean unused mask I had before informing her of the recent data shown about the virus. Not judging, the lady in front of her had a sleep mask put over her mouth and was trying to justify why she was wearing it. They were talking amongst each other after I literally said that it was in all our best interest we reduce the amount of socializing, they just dont know... like it's fine bro, I don't really care that much. I just was bothered by the poor representation of the "empty" streets of Ottawa.
