No respite in India; Covid Infection Record Set For 3rd Straight Day:
Coronavirus

Sol I happen to enjoy many of your posts. You are one of the funniest guys around and I agree with much of your conservative politics in Canada. What I don`t understand is your totally illogical and unscientific conclusions in this thread.
The majority of people follow covid19 rules while a vocal minority do not....that`s why the flu season is greatly reduced but not fully eliminated. What makes you say that the flu is eliminated ? It`s not its just vastly down .
Covid19 and its variants are way more infectious than the common flu. The only thing that will stop it is eventual herd immunity. That is until a new more virulent variant escapes the vax and that`s where annual booster shots come in to play.
If the flu season has been greatly reduced by COVID-19 protocols (I agree that it has) it leads me to question if COVID-19 has been greatly reduced by the protocols. Why one and not the other? Yes, COVID-19 its more infectious and easier to transmit, but cases are still on the rise all over the world. I wear a mask, socially distance, wash hands more frequently, etc. I follow the rules, but I feel it’s the vaccines that are really having any kind of effect on COVID-19 more so than the protocols.
It's a simple race to have enough people vaccinated to pull ahead of Covid. Some countries are winning the race and some countries are losing the race.
While in the past Ontario had been doing better at controlling Covid19 cases than Quebec , recently there was a reversal.
Yesterday Ontario had over 4000 cases while Quebec was a little over 1000. Even adjusting for population that`s about a 140% better rate.
I credit that big difference to the way Quebec and Ontario differ in their vaccination techniques. I agree that the only way to beat this pandemic is by mass vaccination....even one shot is better than none.

As of yesterday Canada has performed 30,500,000 tests with a 4% positive rate, about 24,000 deaths in total.
For the Ontario , Quebec cases. Ontario performs about 42,000 tests a day while Quebec does about 24,000. These are recent numbers.

The places in the USA with the harshest rules have the worst outbreaks. I'll be honest I don't know why, but it tells me the lock downs aren't working and the reason our numbers are declining is vaccines
NY's COVID positivity rate has fallen below 2% for the first time since November and we have 43% of the states population with at least one shot of the vaccine. The US as a country has 47.6% of the population with at least one shot.

Wow Diane Francis!!! One of the least credible "journalist" in Canada.
Meanwhile: OIL SANDS REGION DECLARES STATE OF EMERGENCY DUE TO COVID-19 CASES. That is a TRUE story.
If you wanna bash someone, Jason Kenney is the one who failed all the way. His own party is blaming him now.

Biden says no masks outdoors for fully vaccinated people step toward 'normal living'
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has updated mask guidance for people who are fully vaccinated against the novel coronavirus.

Don't forget this mRNA vacinne is not like the traditional vaccine as we use to know them...
That major difference could explain why human even vaccinated can still transmit the virus.
Who care about the journalist if the points presented are true about the virus handling. Just like some of your group saying a video is not credible due to the one presenting it, really?
Cases do not mean much to most of us, deaths are the concern. Nice attempt though. BTW, most Albertans do not like Kenny or O'Toole.
A vaccine never prevent you from getting the virus. You get it but your defense system is ready to fight efficiently. As to being vaccinated and the still possible contagion, recent datas shows that vaccinated people are a lot less contagious than not-vaccinated one. This is normal as vaccination slows down the viral replication. Less virus, les contagion probability. Remember we know a lot more now than 2 months ago. At this time we thought it would be the case but had no datas to support it. Five months ago, nobody was vaccinated yet... and in five months, majority of people in the world will still not be vaccinated. That is the sad part of the story.
Maybe but... they will still vote for those guys and the conservative party. The last polls show that Albertans still support the Conservative (47%), Liberal (23.7%) and NDP (19%) which is a huge support. [...]

Yes, vaccines block most transmission of COVID-19 PUBLISHED APRIL 21, 2021
Yes, vaccines block most transmission of COVID-19
The latest data show that getting a shot not only protects vaccinated individuals, it reduces the chance they can spread the virus to others.
