It was not that long ago when Dougie Ford would come on TV and say "All you have to do is look at our friends south of the border and see what is going on with the spread of Covid19" we are doing so well vs the United States. Translation its a dumpster fire in the USA.
Meanwhile - The United States is vaccinating 2M people a day and continues to accelerate the pace. While Ontario is in grey lock-down.

Not to mention that they are opening or already have opened up their economy. While we are sliding backward on the advice of the "experts" concerned with the fragility of our free health care system. What a joke we have become.
The world IS open
Seriously there are only a handful of countries you can not travel to
Vast majority of them do not even need vaccine just various quarantine restrictions (3 to 14 days on local rules)
Do NOT go to China though
Oral, blood AND ANAL tests required !!!
Yikes
What lockdown?

Top doctors in Toronto, Peel Region, Ottawa ask Ontario for stay-at-home order to slow COVID-19
Medical officers of health in Toronto, Peel Region and Ottawa urged the province on Monday to impose stronger public health measures immediately, saying a provincial stay-at-home order is needed now to curb COVID-19.
In a Sunday letter to Dr. David Williams, Ontario's chief medical officer of health, Dr. Eileen de Villa, Dr. Lawrence Loh and Dr. Vera Etches said stricter restrictions are required to "reverse the surge" of cases in their respective public health units.
"A stay-at-home order issued by the province through an Emergency Order is necessary to prevent and mitigate large scale morbidity and mortality and irreparable strain on the health-care system," the letter reads.
Schools in Peel and Guelph switching to remote-only learning this week
Schools in Peel Region will switch to remote-only instruction as of tomorrow and students in the Guelph area will follow suit on Wednesday.
Peel Region’s Medical Officer of Health Dr. Lawrence Loh has used his discretionary powers under Section 22 of the Health Protection and Promotion Act to issue an order requiring the closure of all schools in Brampton, Caledon and Mississauga for in-person learning as of April 6.
The order will remain in effect for at least two weeks, meaning schools will not be able to reopen until after the delayed March break now scheduled for next week.
The moves comes just days after Education Minister Stephen Lecce told reporters that the Ford government had no plans to close schools amid surging COVID-19 case numbers and would instead have students return to “elevated” infection prevention and control measures and asymptomatic testing following the break.
“This closure is a necessary step to protect staff and students in Peel Region,” Loh said in a news release. “With increasing case counts and the presence of variants of concern, we need to break chains of transmission and keep our schools safe. I know this will be challenging for parents to navigate and we appreciate all the sacrifices parents continue to make as we continue to fight COVID-19 in our community.”
20 Toronto schools being closed Tuesday due to COVID-19
Twenty Toronto schools are being closed due to COVD-19 investigations as the city's public health unit defends their decision to keep facilities open to in-person learning.
The Toronto District School Board made the announcement Monday night on Twitter.
"On the advice of @TOPublicHealth students and staff at the following schools are being dismissed effective tomorrow, Tuesday, April 6 to allow (Toronto Public Health) additional time to investigate COVID cases," the school board said.

There are literally no connections beyond any bizarre conspiracy theories you may be about to spout
Has the UN ever discussed them? Sure. But they are a COMPLETELY different org
It is really funny whenever you make a mistake; it is so hard for you to admit you are wrong even when it is such an obvious mistake eh?
Here history of WHO knock yourself out

I apologize upfront for the length of this post but felt it necessary to layout the relationship between the UN and WHO in a little more detail.There are literally no connections beyond any bizarre conspiracy theories you may be about to spout

History
www.who.int
Are they "different" organizations - yes. Are they organizations with a close working relationship established through each other's organizing legal frameworks - absolutely.
I am not sure what TJ would accept as a there being a clear connection between the UN and WHO but I think most reasonable people would think the following details confirm a close working relationship.
Fact Number One - WHO is listed by the UN as one of the specialized agencies as established under the UN Charter
Articles 57 and 63 of the United Nations Charter state
Article 57
- The various specialized agencies, established by intergovernmental agreement and having wide international responsibilities, as defined in their basic instruments, in economic, social, cultural, educational, health, and related fields, shall be brought into relationship with the United Nations in accordance with the provisions of Article 63.
- Such agencies thus brought into relationship with the United Nations are hereinafter referred to as specialized agencies.
- The Economic and Social Council may enter into agreements with any of the agencies referred to in Article 57, defining the terms on which the agency concerned shall be brought into relationship with the United Nations. Such agreements shall be subject to approval by the General Assembly.
- It may co-ordinate the activities of the specialized agencies through consultation with and recommendations to such agencies and through recommendations to the General Assembly and to the Members of the United Nations.
ACCEPTING THESE PRINCIPLES, and for the purpose of co-operation among themselves and with others to promote and protect the health of all peoples, the Contracting Parties agree to the present Constitution and hereby establish the World Health Organization as a specialized agency within the terms of Article 57 of the Charter of the United Nations.
Another excerpt from the WHO Constitution
CHAPTER II – FUNCTIONS
Article 2 In order to achieve its objective, the functions of the Organization shall be:
(a) to act as the directing and co-ordinating authority on international health work;
b) to establish and maintain effective collaboration with the United Nations, specialized agencies, governmental health administrations, professional groups and such other organizations as may be deemed appropriate;
And yet another excerpt from the WHO Constitution related to the obligations of the World Health Assembly which is the annual meeting held to determine WHO's direction (and TJ the WHO must consult with the UN before finalizing the date of this annual assembly - so that would seem to indicate a close relationship)
(i) to consider recommendations bearing on health made by the General Assembly, the Economic and Social Council, the Security Council or Trusteeship Council of the United Nations, and to report to them on the steps taken by the Organization to give effect to such recommendations;
(j) to report to the Economic and Social Council in accordance with any agreement between the Organization and the United Nations;
I have provided links to the WHO Constitution and the UN Agreement that confirms WHO as a UN Special Agency and details the working relationship including the sharing of data, human resource policies, the fact that the UN can request WHO to undertake specialized studies, the fact that WHO must provide reports to the UN on actions taken by WHO on health initiatives requested of it by the UN, and that WHO must consult the UN on the location of WHO's headquarters.
So TJ the UN has done just a little bit more than "discussing" WHO and there is absolutely a long standing formal working relationship between the UN and WHO confirmed in both organization's Charters and Constitutions despite what you inferred from reading a one page "History" on WHO's website.
Links should you care to read in a bit more detail.

Canada works with the WHO
Yet are totally separate entities
Canada had a hand in creation of UN
Yet are totally separate entities
I personally think basket made a typo and substituted the abbreviation UN for the WHO in error and I am mocking him for it at this point
But regardless of who founded the WHO (UN did, again I even linked to history above) membership in UN does not guarantee membership in WHO
There is an application process
And (for obvious reasons) many of their goals are aligned but they are certainly independent
(again as an analogy; the working relationship between Doug Ford and Justin Trudeau. Sure they have very similar goals but they can also take very different paths to get there)

I don't deny the reason. I question the due diligence and actions of the couple.
There is no mention of what I would call "activities that may have lead to contracting the virus" all this story messages is the result of..
And that's why i consider partial news - fake news.
