I saw a headline this morning about people faking vaccine cards and test results to get into Canada. The quarantines are a joke here and have never been enforced. Just about everyone I know who has thought they had Covid went out to the grocery store to stock up while waiting for the test results or before they got the test. It's crazy. |
One of the 61 positive cases was arrested for fleeing the quarantine hotel. They (it was a Spanish/Portugese couple, only the wife tested positive) went to the media to complain about how they were treated and the wife claims it was a false positive. I guess false positives *can* happen, but 61 times? That's unlikely.
But their entire story doesn't really add up - they say they bought rapid tests after being advised to do so and both tested negative twice - HOW? They were supposed to be in quarantine, you do not leave your hotel room! You cannot go to the drugstore to buy a test and you cannot go down to reception to chat with security as they also claim to have done! (Sorry, their interview really bugged me.)
