Coronavirus

Effectivement au Québec la situation ---en dépit du nombre élevé de cas positifs---on est dans les 600 + actuellement/jour-----demeure encore sous contrôle au niveau des hospitalisations --autour de 130--et les décès sont nettement en baisse ...bonne nouvelle.

MAIS ---comme l'a dit DUBÉ---le mois de Septembre---avec sa rentrée massive---sera crucial.....on croise les doigts....MAIS j'ai grande confiance qu'avec le succès de NOTRE VACCINATION qui continue de s'accroître la situation demeure sous contrôle ...et que la vie

des VACCINÉS puisse se poursuivre dans une '' presque'' normalité.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, America has 49 other states.

Yes it's true, there are also states where there are several deaths: Alabama, Arizona, California, Georgia, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Ohio, Texas.

The town of Cullman, Alabama is having to shut down five schools after major spikes in COVID cases have made the schools unsafe for anyone.
This is the town where Trump held a rally last week, just days after the city declared a COVID emergency.
There is no doubt that Trump's rally helped spread the virus, though it is impossible right now to tell whether or not it played a role in the school infections.

The poor kids are at the mercy of their witless parents.

These people are emotionally committed to their own ignorance.

It's only a coincidence.

COVID cases in South Dakota quintuple after the Sturgis motorcycle rally.

COVID cases in South Dakota quintuple after the Sturgis motorcycle rally.

Only 39 of the COVID cases were linked to the motorcycle rally. The rest is from unvaccinated people. Don’t let the previous post con you into thinking a bunch of people riding their bikes outdoors was the cause for the spike in SD’s COVID cases:

I will totally take that bet. The US has been at it for 6 months. We have 33% of our population fully vaccinated and we make it here. Your talking 75% fully vaccinated in Canada by September and it has to be secured. Good luck with that.

My the times have changed. To think that less than 4 months ago we where nowhere.

I always wondered what a reliable source would be. Dr Tam, the equivalent of your Dr Walensky, is pretty credible. Greater than 75% before September.

We all know one doesn't catch COVID riding his bike, obviously outdoor. I never saw such event indoor...
It's all the gathering together and parties (part of those events) that are putting at risk. True ,some bikers in this crowd just enjoy biking and being part of a big event and are also careful not to participate in risky situations.

Hurricane Ida strengthened to a full category 5 and is now heading for Louisiana:

Devastating major hurricane near landfall along Louisiana

Hurricane Ida has rapidly intensified overnight, seeing a steep pressure fall and maximum winds increasing to 150 mph. Very nearly a Category 5 hurricane, Ida should reach the southern coast of Lou…

It's slated to be just as strong as Katrina, and now with the pandemic in full swing, what's going to happen next?

 

[cloudsurf]

New Orleans learnt from Katrina, and is now a stronger safer city. But a cat 4 hurricane can do a hell of a lot of damage to a city that is partly below Sea level .
I hear that the mighty Mississippi is scared shitless and reversed flow to head out of the storms direction.
Getting back to covid...... the overwhelmed hospitals are managing with generators and brave staff.

 

[wetnose]

In the aftermath of Katrina, a doctor had to euthanize 4 patients - will the same happen for the intubated covid patients? This is what collapse looks like: a medical system stretched beyond its breaking point by hostile patients (whose ailments is entirely preventable), then having to deal with a natural disaster at the same time.

=====

After Katrina struck the city, conditions at New Orleans' Memorial hospital were horrendous. The hospital was surrounded by water, power was out and back-up generators failed. Temperatures inside the hospital quickly soared past 100 degrees and patients were in distress.

There, on the seventh floor of Memorial Medical Center, doctors and nurses were faced with few options. Conditions were deteriorating rapidly, evacuations were sporadic and security was compromised. Staff agonized whether to attempt to transport critically ill patients who might not survive the arduous evacuation. It appears another choice was considered: whether to end the lives of those who could not be moved.

Dr Richards Lessells, an infectious disease specialist at the KZN Research Innovation and sequencing platform at the University of Kwazulu-Natal, says there is a new COVID-19 variant (C .1.2) that has been detected in South Africa.

QUÉBEC----DUBÉ---ce jour--1ère dose 86%----2ème dose 79% ....mais encore du travail à faire dans certains quartiers de Montréal et Laval....alors on y va plz .

Les hospitalisations demeurent stables----sous contrôle mais again craint ---toujours à cause de la rentrée---le mois de Septembre et une augmentation notable des cas et des hospitalisations.

Aux fully vaccinated DUBÉ rappelle l'importance de TOUJOURS continuer de respecter les mesures sanitaires ...le vaccin protège efficacement MAIS n'est pas parfait. A aussi mentionné que ce sont de plus en plus les jeunes qui sont atteints et hospitalisés et
qui demeurent plus longtemps à l'hôpital.

PASSEPORT VACCINAL...et oui en application dès demain....faut y voir.

As of Aug 31, 5,912,698 (68.87%) Quebecers have been fully vaccinated.

That means there's still 2.672M people who are vulnerable, to a virus that is as infectious as chickenpox.

The vaccine campaign started last year. What the hell are they waiting for? A sign from heaven? Or a sign from delta? Do we really need more refrigerator trailers before these people will wake the f*k up?

Dr. Google says that Canada is at 67.6% fully vaccinated not 75%. Welcome to September! I don’t recall the terms of the bet (I’ve had more important things to do) but I know that neither country hit the 75% fully vaccinated number. So I’m guessing we have a draw. Either way, I’m happy to see both our countries continuing to get vaccinated and hope that both countries get to 80% or higher.

It is 75% of those eligible to be vaccinated

I wasn't expecting you to honor your bet.

L’ivermectine n’est pas pour prévenir, ni pour guérir la COVID-19, rappelle Santé Canada

Avec la hausse des ingestions d’ivermectine pour «prévenir la COVID-19» aux États-Unis, Santé Canada a tenu à rétablir les faits.

www.journaldemontreal.com

With the uptake of ivermectin, an animal pest control drug to "prevent COVID-19" in the United States, Health Canada has set out to set the record straight.

“There is no evidence to show that the use against COVID-19 of ivermectin (for veterinary or human use) is safe and effective. Ivermectin for veterinary use can be harmful to humans, especially in high doses, and can cause serious health problems, such as vomiting, diarrhea, low blood pressure, allergic reactions, dizziness, seizures, or coma, and even death, ”the federal ministry said in a press release.

What are you talking about. Canada is less than 75% fully vaccinated. I expected you to honor the terms.

Either way, I realized just how miserable it was not being able to travel to Canada. I was using MERB for something I never intended on, news and politics. That changed after my recent visit to Montreal. I starting using MERB to find hot Québécois girls to bang. If I lived in Montreal I would never look for anything else here. Good news is I am once again enjoying this website for what I originally signed up for many years ago. Cheers.
