Great job clearing up the confusion between traditional false positives and PCR "over-sensitive positives". These tests ARE finding tiny bits of the virus, but generally only fragments that aren't actually able to replicate.

Here you can watch Fauci explain this -- LAST JULY.

Try entering Australia some time - even Australians can't get in - the queue is 31,000 citizens long apparently and even if you get in, you're whisked away to an authorised quarantine gaol for 14 nights; or living in Denmark where proof of identity plus one of (a) proof of vaccination or (b) a (-)ve PCR test <= 72 hours old is now required for a haircut and a thousand other things.

We, the West, are way past the inflection point of no return and I suspect the CCP is doing the "gloat and grin"

I live in Quebec, Canada, and the current situation is like that of a victim of Stockholm Syndrome with Trudeau and his ilk being the kidnappers of our rights and freedoms. This is not the Canada in WW1 or WW2, most people are weak and docile. They've lost their critical thinking. Me and friends of mine are still sane but we've determined that because our backgrounds are usually from Eastern Europe, where we know what totalitarianism looks like, or from broken/hard households, where people know what abuse looks like. I need to get out of here.

I actually know people in France who think lockdowns worked. Then when you say why are they locking down again? They say cuz we didn't lock down long enough.

I suspect you may be familiar because of the way you voiced it, but "your rights carry an asterisk stating “ *unless the state decides something else is more important” is exactly how the Canadian Charter of Rights is written.

The "*" == "Section 33 Paragraph 1".

"The Parliament of Canada, a provincial legislature or a territorial legislature may declare that one of its laws or part of a law applies temporarily ("notwithstanding") countermanding sections of the Charter, thereby nullifying any judicial review by overriding the Charter protections for a limited period of time. "

Caveats apply, blah, blah, blah.

Whatever your view of PCR testing, if we assume it's applied consistently among travelers and non-travelers, then only 1.5% of returning travelers tested positive, which is a fraction of the overall poisitivity rate in Canada. So, the question is, should Canadians now be urged to travel abroad? https://torontosun.com/news/local-news/only-1-5-of-air-travellers-tested-positive-for-covid-19-health-canada?fbclid=IwAR34y3vn9EN-qNAtRjkNV7dI4sROi-DTvYDBTg_WTjzLHw2IPC1ZCX8dexY
