Most of her constituents were the first ones to fill up the freezer trucks after the morgues ran out of room. Hard working people with minimal medical benefits that had to commute to work everyday during the pandemic because they couldn't work from home or collect unemployment. And yet they still re elected her to a second term.

I think this thread "ABOUT CORONAVIRUS" is becoming too much a political thread. There is a specific place to discuss all those political issues.
Here it is: https://merb.cc/xenforo/forums/politics-religion-international-affairs.79/
For myself, I will do my best to stay on the main subject and not digress.
I hope all members will do the same.
La situation sanitaire au Québec, au Canada et ailleurs se dégrade. Trois virus menacent, celui de l'Influenza, le virus sincytial respiratoire et les variants de la famille Omicron de la COVID-19. La situation est compréhensible étant donnée la venue de l'hiver et le relâchement des mesures sanitaires en général. Nos hôpitaux, spécialement la pédiatrie, sont sous tensions. La situation est la même et pire en France. Ce n'est pas une situation unique. En France, les autorités sanitaires (scientifiques, médecins, autres soignants, etc...) réclament un retour au port du masque dans les transports publics. Là-bas, les trains et métros sont bondés matin et soir par les travailleurs se tapant plus d'une heures de transport en commun pour leur travail. La décision n'est pas simple... Quoiqu'il en soit, eux comme nous avons 3 outils efficaces pour prévenir le pire: 1- de nouveaux vaccins efficaces contre les divers variants de type Omicron, 2- des vaccins contre Influenza (la grippe) et 3- le masque en situation de contacts rapprochés et prolongés. Bien sûr les 60 ans et plus et autres personnes à risques doivent se protéger davantage mais nous avons tous une responsabilité sanitaire sociale envers les autres. Présentement les plus jeunes paient le prix (et leurs parents). Il y a beaucoup plus de bronchiolites qu'attendu et beaucoup trop d'hospitalisations requises.
Il est tentant de succomber aux chants des sirènes prétendant que le COVID est derrière nous. N'est-ce pas ce que nous souhaitons tous?
Cependant, cet article nous rappelle que la surmortalité perdure. Le Québec enregistre plus de décès que prévu depuis le début de l’été 2022, un long épisode de surmortalité qui pourrait être dû à la baisse des restrictions liées à la COVID-19 et à la multiplication des virus.

The assumption that hybrid immunity — vaccines combined with infections — would end COVID’s relentless evolution has fed the pandemic, not starved it.
If getting infected, vaxxed, or vaxxed-plus-infected actually made us safe as COVID circulates, Canada wouldn’t be recording its highest death rate of nearly 20,000 this year.
Yes, COVID has vanquished more Canadians this year than in 2020 or 2021. And the virus has sent more Canadians to the hospital this year than in previous ones, too.

It doesn't matter anymore. You can't keep it out.
Only a few months ago, the Liberals and the “experts” were saying travel restrictions and ArriveCan were necessary to prevent the spread of the virus. Now they are saying restrictions are not effective and absurd! FOLLOW THE SCIENCE! (I should say follow Political Science). It was always about control.

Omicron offshoot XBB.1.5 could drive new Covid-19 surge in US | CNN
The CDC estimates that XBB.1.5 has more than doubled its share of the Covid-19 pie each week for the last four, rising from about 4% to 41% of new infections over the month of December.
www.cnn.com
For weeks, scientists have been watching a slew of Omicron descendants duke it out for dominance of Covid-19 transmission in the United States, with the BQs – BQ.1 and BQ.1.1 – seeming to edge out all the others to claim a slight lead.
The result has been a gradual rise in cases and hospitalizations that never seemed to reach the peaks of this summer’s BA.5 wave and was certainly nothing like the tsunami of illness caused by the original Omicron strain a year ago.
But on Friday, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Covid-19 variant dashboard revealed a new dark horse that could soon sweep the field: XBB.1.5.
The CDC estimates that XBB.1.5 has more than doubled its share of the Covid-19 pie each week for the last four, rising from about 4% to 41% of new infections over the month of December. In the Northeast, the CDC estimates, XBB.1.5 is causing 75% of new cases.
The misinformation squad is busy at work:
Not at all surprising. It seems that any time a well-known person dies or even has a medical emergency of some sort, the rightwing wackos can't wait to start their BS about a vaccine being the cause. Also not at all surprising that MTG was mentioned.
Let’s not forget the outrage when the previous administration did something similar and now it’s acceptable.
