Cases continue to increase and we are still in summer. In past week 32 states saw their numbers going up by 50% and more.
[...] THOSE DATAS ARE FROM THE JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY. Don't shoot the messenger!
Meanwhile less than 50% are still fully vaccinated.

I'm not really following the Olympics but I do follow golf and two golfers - Bryson DeChambeau from the US and Jon Rahm from Spain are out of the Olympics after testing positive for COVID. What's unique about this story is that Jon Rahm had already tested positive for COVID a month ago then came back to win the US Open.

The Governor of Alabama, a Republican, is blaming the anti-vaxxers for causing the new pandemic in the States.
I`ll agree and I`ll go further......they are causing others with cancer and heart conditions to die because they are taking up spare beds.
One dumb woman with covid confessed that she still won`t get a vax when let out of hospital. She died the next day. Karma.

I have absolutly no sympathy for those dump persons.
If they die, i think it's Natural Selection acting.
The human race doesn't need them.
Earth is overpopulated anyway.

Et pendant ce temps, en Alabama, les hospitalisations augmentent dramatiquement.

QUÉBEC--ASSOUPLISSEMENT DES MESURES ....À compter du 1er Août 15,000 spectateurs admis pour évènements extérieurs.....good pour les ALOUETTES et le CF de Montréal.....et les divers festivals......7,500 pour les évènements intérieurs.

Pour les bars autorisation de servir de la boisson jusqu'à 1hre au lieu de minuit....come on,.....un petit effort ...après plus d'un an on peut les laisser maintenant opérer normalement... anyway beaucoup actuellement vont continuer le party après dans des résidences

privées....alors que la situation est généralement mieux gérée dans les bars.....my 2 cents.

Le CANADA se classe 2ème derrière ISRAEL pour le pays ayant administré 2 doses....c'est bien mais encore du travail sur la planche d'autant plus que le rythme de vaccination semble diminuer......et 71,4 % avec une dose.

BTW le Canada dispose de plus de 66 millions de doses presque le double de ses besoins.....alors pourquoi ne pas en distribuer aux pays en grand besoin....faut pas oublier que c'est un combat GLOBAL et devons assumer nos responsabilités .

QUÉBEC....86% de nos universitaires ont recu une 1ère dose et plus de 50 % une 2ème......impressionnant mais surtout RESPONSABLES.....ne l'ont pas eu facile......proud of them.....nos futurs leaders donnent le bon exemple.

Does it mean that more educated and intelligent people believe in science instead of bullshit ?

Does it mean that more educated and intelligent people believe in science instead of bullshit ?

Lets take a look at what you mean by science. When you write science you actually mean follow government orders. So far they are saying a lot of bs. First they say AstraZeneca is good then all the side effects come out. Then they say you can mix vaccines then after they said it is risky and the side effects are unknown. Sometimes they say the vaccine is very effective against the Delta variant then they say the cases are spreading fast. A whole lot of nonsense. So to all those Complicit Theorists they mean follow government orders.

 

[angecornu]

Et dire que certains prétendaient que le virus perdrait de la force et finirait par s'éliminer sans aucune action. On se rend compte qu'avec le variant Delta, il a plutôt pris de la force. Le vaccin c'est la solution, malheureusement je crois que l'objectif de vacciner 75% des personnes de 12 ans et plus n'est pas suffisante. Certains préconisent plutôt 80 à 85% totalement vacciné à cause du variant Delta qui a un taux de contagion aussi élevé que la varicelle. Je me demande si les anti vaccins vont finir par changer leur fusil d'épaules et accepter de se faire vacciner. Je n'aime pas recevoir des injections de produit dans mon corps pour le plaisir de la chose; je ne me fais pas vacciner contre la grippe car jusqu'à date, je n'ai pas eu trop de problème avec la grippe. Cependant avec la Covid-19 on ne rit plus, ce n'est pas du tout les mêmes conséquences et risques.

 

[gaby]

....bien d'accord.....vu les ravages du variant Delta ailleurs --- déjà présent chez nous----et Ottawa qui nous dit qu'on pourrait de nouveau voir surgir plus de 10,000 cas par jour .....alors oui ....fort justement qu'un MINIMUM de 80% de vaccinés devient nécessaire.

This delta variant is 4 x more contagious than the original COVID-19 strain. The reason being the virus load in a contaminated person is 100 to 1000 times higher.
The fully vaccinated people are still significantly (not 100%...) protected against hospitalization and severe consequences. But they can and will transmit the virus to another one, vaccinated or not, up to a non-vaccinated or vulnerable person. The only way to fight is to raise the vaccination rate. Idiots not understanding this are just well... you know. This is science and it has nothing to do with obedience.

I chose to be vaccinated. What a great fucking country I live in where I can make that decision for myself. If you don’t want to be vaccinated I disagree with you, but I respect your decision. The keyboard scientists can post all the bullshit they want, it’s not gonna change the freedom to choose whatever the fuck you want in the US of A!

Unless you work for the federal government or a large corporation. Or even some state governments.

CANADA ranks 2nd behind ISRAEL for the country having administered 2 doses .... it's good but still work on the board especially as the vaccination rate seems to decrease ...... and 71.4 % with one dose.

BTW Canada has more than 66 million doses almost double its needs ..... so why not distribute it to countries in great need ... must not forget that it is a GLOBAL fight and must assume our responsibilities.

1st in OECD, which is indeed commendable - ahead of USA, UK, Japan, Australia, Germany, you name it - we're on top. We need 2 doses of the vaccine, so 66 million is enough for the whole country. HOWEVER, only 49.1M have been administered. We really need more!

France is getting pretty hardcore about the vaccination - so not quite making it mandatory but almost as good:

Rules are mandatory when too much people have an attitude putting at risk the health of the population. We buckle our seat-belt because we know and it is demonstrated that it saves lives. It is the same with vaccination and wearing mask as the delta variant is a game changer. I don't get what is so difficult to understand...
