Indeed and excellent at pushing the Liberal agenda. If it is not a Liberal stance not matter how damaging it is, he will use wokeness to twist what you wrote. But now after two years the narrative must end. Omicron is just like a cold and destroying the economy and mental health is not justifyed anymore. The original strain was definitely deadly but the other variants are much less lethal. It is the same pattern the Spanish flu followed, first strain was deadly but the other ones not so dangerous. See how all airports are over crowded, ppl are going crazy wanting to travel. I just do not understand what is politicians problem with people having their freedom and choosing what is best for them. The same goes for abortions, sex work, and covid mandates.

Coming out ahead in this grim contest is no big prize but I'd take it nonetheless. No doubt mistakes were made, but I am thankful a lot of Canadians get to live another day. Could be someone's grandpa, or someone else who doesn't have to live with long covid. We made it.

Canada outperformed most G10 countries during first two years of pandemic response: study

Canada handled key aspects of the COVID-19 response better in the first two years of the pandemic than most G10 countries, according to a new study by researchers from the University of Toronto, Unity Health Toronto and St. Michael's hospital.

Canada handled key aspects of the response to the COVID-19 pandemic better in the first two years of the health emergency than most G10 countries

Researchers from the University of Toronto and Unity Health Toronto compared COVID-19 infection, death, excess mortality and vaccination rates, social and public health restrictions and economic performance to determine how the G10 countries performed.

The countries — including Canada, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States — were chosen due to similarities in their economic and political models, per-capita income levels and population size.

Canada's rate of COVID-19 deaths was also second-lowest among countries included in the study, at 919 deaths per one million, as was its excess mortality rate, which incorporates the number of deaths during a period of crisis like the COVID-19 pandemic compared to the expected number of deaths in nominal conditions. Only Japan's COVID-19 death and excess mortality rates were lower, despite the country's lower vaccination rates, less severe restrictions and older population.

If the US had done as well as us, 600,000+ Americans would be alive today. No doubt we all had to make sacrifices, but I am thankful a lot of Canadians get to live another day. Could be someone's grandpa, or someone else who doesn't have to live with long covid.

Didnt know it was a competition, congratulations.

The latest on the coronavirus

Harvard Chan School experts offer comments and context about the coronavirus in a variety of media outlets.

www.hsph.harvard.edu

Indoor gyms, bars, offices, nursing and retirement homes, and crowded indoor events are all likely places where people can get reinfected with COVID, given that new Omicron subvariants BA.4 and BA.5 are circulating.

North Korea is likely experiencing a huge COVID-19 outbreak, according to experts, and it’s likely that much of the population is unvaccinated. “Controlling omicron in the absence of vaccination is a ghastly task,” said William Hanage, associate professor of epidemiology. “We can expect a very rapid surge.”

He estimated that North Korea could see around 50,000 deaths, and several times that many hospitalizations.

What Omicron’s BA.4 and BA.5 variants mean for the pandemic

The lineages’ rise seems to stem from their ability to infect people who were immune to earlier forms of Omicron and other variants.

www.nature.com

The BA.4 and BA.5 subvariants are spiking globally because they can spread faster than other circulating variants — mostly BA.2, which caused a surge in cases at the beginning of the year.
But so far, the latest Omicron variants seem to be causing fewer deaths and hospitalizations than their older cousins — a sign that growing population immunity is tempering the immediate consequences of COVID-19 surges.

^^^^^^ Excellent article, as always from "Nature". Thanks @sene5hos
I will only copy the conclusion for those not reading the full content.

One possible future for SARS-CoV-2 is that it will become like the other four seasonal coronaviruses, the levels of which ebb and flow with the seasons, usually peaking in winter and typically reinfecting people every three years or so, Althaus says. “The big question is whether symptoms will become milder and milder and whether issues with long COVID will slowly disappear,” he says. “If it stays like it is now, then it will be a serious public-health problem.”

COVID-19 29 juin 2022. Tous les indicateurs sont à la hausse. Restons prudents. Perso, je continuerai à porter le masque en présence de foule comme au Festival de Jazz de Montréal ou à l'intérieur lorsque la densité de clients empêchera une saine distanciation. Nous sommes tous dans le même bateau, quoique certains ne l'ont pas encore réalisé et vivent encore dans le déni.

Le déni est une notion utilisée en psychanalyse pour désigner le fait de refuser, de façon inconsciente, une partie ou l'ensemble d'une réalité. Le déni peut porter sur un sentiment ou une émotion, mais aussi sur des faits qui se sont produits.

On dit qu'une image vaut mille mots...

DR.BOILEAU ce jour....le Québec a ''tous les éléments'' d'une 7ème vague... augmentation notable des hospitalisations ces derniers jours....et les nouveaux variants sont responsables des 3/4 des nouveaux cas.....recommande aux personnes à risque
de porter le masque....mieux vaut être prévenu....on parle moins de la COVID ----élections obligent---MAIS le virus rôde toujours et continue de faire des dégâts....et des décès continuent d'être recensés....soyons sur nos gardes.

 

[gaby]

OTTAWA ce jour....JEAN-YVES DUCLOS.....si nous avons repris une vie normale c'est largement dû à la VACCINATION....a rappelé l'importance d'aller chercher sa 3ème et 4ème dose.....prépare une vaste campagne de publicité en faveur de la VACCINATION pour
cet automne....a répété que le virus est toujours présent et que la VACCINATION est la solution pour éviter les maladies graves et décès......well done M.Duclos.

Et BTW encore hausse des cas today au QUÉBEC ...et 13 décès supplémentaires ......est-ce assez clair?????

Canadian Airports Call For Vaccine Requirements To End

Is it time for the Canadian government to lift the vaccine requirements for air passengers?

simpleflying.com

1 month ago, the airports called for a cancellation of mandates:

...today, all Canadian provinces have removed vaccine restrictions, so there is now a different standard for aviation employees and transportation than for other Canadians. Aviation is global. In order to support this industry’s economic recovery and compete globally, Canada must align with the international community and join the list of over 50 countries that have already removed vaccine mandates and COVID protocols for travel.

For those falsely claiming that COVID targets only 60 years old and older.
Published in JAMA: From January to October 2021, COVID was the leading cause of death among 45 to 54 years-olds in US.
And the third if you consider 2020-2021 https://www.nih.gov/news-events/new...ding-cause-death-united-states-both-2020-2021
It is obvious it is catching up on youngers. Youngers are less vaccinated and have a more defiant behaviour toward COVID.

 

[minutemenX]

As I understand it, since covid doesn't exist, Omicron variants don't exist either

And what happened with vaccination police on this board when the COVID cases are rising again? Though I know at least 2 people who had 2 booster shots and ended up in a hospital. Buy the way, the statistic of hospital admissions shows that vaccinated and non vaccinated now simply reflects these numbers in the population. Even my family doctor quietly suggests forgetting about booster shots.

MSM has you brainwashed. Covid/Omicron/ba4-5 variants are all BS. The only thing killing people now is the vaccine and the boosters. Everyone I know, including myself and my family who are unvaxxed, had no issue whatsoever and we all caught the virus once and only once. Everyone I know who has multiple shots keep getting sick over and over again.

All the numbers we were told since the beginning have been lies. QC gov told us so many thousands dies yet experts now were unable to figure out why the excess deaths are less than a 3rd of the reported covid deaths from the gov.

Gov said the Sacre Coeur hospital emergency was overwhelmed. It was even in the news. I had to go to see my dad who was in the emergency ICU. Empty. The place was completely empty.

Keep believing the lies from the gov if you want to, but those that are unvaxxed made a choice same as everyone else and they have every right to be free as before.

MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane)​

MSM is a chemical in animals, humans, and many plants. People use it most often to try to treat arthritis. MSM can be produced in a lab, where it is sometimes combined with other supplements such as glucosamine or chondroitin.

I will not comment on the rest of your post! It speaks by itself. Good luck!

CDC and JAMA are not medias.

CDC are the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the main health agency in USA. All US governments, democrat and republicans, supported this agency and its credibility was never a question.

JAMA is The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) is a peer-reviewed medical journal published 48 times a year by the American Medical Association. This has nothing to do with the government and is well recognized around the world . In fact, it was created in 1883.
