My mom who is 80 and a lifetime smoker had the covid and recovered, maybe just lucky but my sister is a nurse at St B and was intubating those in ICU and said none were smokers, pretty hard to ignore as the article suggests.

Bryan Adams in hot water over xenophobic IG post: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/bryan-adams-instagram-1.5565624

Another clueless celebrity sharing his ignorance on social media.

See, now no one will condone his statements, no one will say "that's just what rockstars do."

Yet, with those hockey players this week, there was willingness to say "that's just what hockey players do."
