Florida has reached the highest number of COVID-19 cases in one day since the start of the pandemic. The state reported 21,683 new infections. Nationally, one in five cases of the virus is found in Florida, the new epicenter of the pandemic in the United States. The most recent record for the number of cases reported by the state was on January 7, with 19,334 new cases. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis does not require people to wear face coverings. He has also limited the power of local authorities to implement health measures, in particular by prohibiting school boards from requiring the wearing of masks in class. Those always crying about lost of freedom must be more concerned about lost of lives.

And here, in Canada.
THE PARALLEL WORLD OF JASON KENNEY This is not about politic. Only facts!!!

What parallel world does Alberta Premier Jason Kenney live in? Starting August 16, Alberta will end the mandatory quarantine for people with COVID-19. No need to isolate yourself for 14 days. You read that correctly: an Albertan with COVID-19 will be able to leave his home and transmit the virus as he sees fit in one of the least vaccinated provinces ... That's not all: the screening tests are no longer Recommended for asymptomatic patients with COVID-19, masks will no longer be mandatory indoors and Alberta will cease the vast majority of its tracing operations. Let’s weigh our words: it’s a stupid, irresponsible decision denounced by public health experts across the country. "This is the height of madness. Even the most fervent anti-masks do not say to let go of contagious people in the population, ”summed up Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi. Jason Kenney declared the pandemic over in Alberta when he "opened" his province for the summer. We all want the pandemic to end. No one is talking about reconfiguring the whole country like during the first waves. But governments must act smart. Not to take their wishes for reality. Albertans deserve so much better.

Florida becomes COVID hell with record new case numbers and a new record for hospitalizations.

Yesterday in US:

112,000 new cases and 725 dead

Almost two years into this and you still don’t do fractions or denominators. The denominator is 333,145,515.

United States Population (2026) - Worldometer

Population of the United States: current, historical, and projected population, growth rate, immigration, median age, total fertility rate (TFR), population density, urbanization, urban population, country's share of world population, and global rank. Data tables, maps, charts, and live...

It would be nice if the media reported how many of the dead were unvaccinated. That would be as beneficial as a denominator.

More than 99.99% of people fully vaccinated against Covid-19 have not had a breakthrough case resulting in hospitalization or death, according to the latest data from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

KARL WEISS ...microbiologiste que je respecte--à une question concernant l'arrivée fort probable d'une 4ème vague....a répondu oui et ajouté probablement une 5ème--6ème etc.....voulant signifier qu'il fallait s'apprêter dorénavant à vivre avec ce virus qui va
modifier notre mode de vie....et que bien sûr ceux qui sont vaccinés vont mieux s'en tirer mais qu'il faudra conserver certaines mesures sanitaires telles le port du masque et distanciation surtout là ou il y a forte affluence ....et je suis tout à fait d'accord
avec lui.

Half of the US is fully vaccinated. That along with people who have COVID 19 antibodies from surviving the disease should hopefully be the beginning of the end. At least for the pandemic, I’m sure booster shots will be necessary because it’s never going to go away 100%.

Festival Gaulois... Pas beaucoup de monde, le calme plat. L'image la plus stupide vue sur TVA, un gars distribuant un liquide (de la bière?..) à partir d'un réservoir à essence de 5 gallons, tous buvant à partir du même bec distributeur... Autrement, quelques roulottes et la distanciation sociale semble généralement respectée vue le peu de monde. Il ne semble manquer que Maxime Bernier et Éric Duhaime à ce pathétique tableau.

Le festival des Gaulois sous étroite surveillance

Le maire et les commerçants de Saint-Benoît-Labre assurent que la collaboration des festivaliers est entière.

Not so fast walooo. A hundred million Americans are unvaccinated and rates of covid are rising and not falling. The pandemic is alive and growing not only in the States but in the world where less than 10% of the population is fully vaccinated.
My concern is a new variant that is more dangerous than the Delta variant, and may by-pass present vaccines.
6 months ago nobody heard of the delta variant and now its taking over at an alarming rate.

I think the Delta is shaking things up. Some Americans are realizing this thing is going away any time soon. Vaccinations rates are rising in the US. I still believe we'll hit 75% vaccination before the US.
Like you, I think we need to keep an eye on new variants. Lamba, from Peru looks like the new kid on the block but early signs are it doesn't escape vaccines.
Also remember they can tweak mRNA vaccines pretty quickly.
Let's just hope our petri dishes (the unvaccinated) don't screw it up.


And if Mike is reading, he should check out what the #1 age group for hospitalizations is in the US. Hint, it's his

FLORIDA...terrible....1 kid in 5 tested positive....just imagine la propagation du virus.....incredible....thanks Governor for being that helpful !!!!

 

[gaby]

And CDC reaffirms 99,9% of those vaccinated have not had a breakthrough case.....is that significative enough ????

 

[Halloween Mike]

et le nombre de cas qui vont en éclore.

Chaque grosse maniff sans masque il y a jamais eu de hausse significative de cas.

 

[gaby]

Evidemment quand un juge---Hélène Carrier---émet une ordonnance quant au respect obligatoire des règles sanitaires et qu'une organisatrice dise qu'elle va la respecter... et que 2 policiers en compagnie d'un inspecteur du CIUSSS visitent les lieux....et que
des policiers à la porte sont prêts à intervenir si nécessaire....et oui il semble que cela fasse effet ....

Comme ces zigotos venaient de partout et n'étaient jamais en très grand nombre finalement, ils se sont finalement dilués dans la population. Et comme dit si bien Gaby, on les a laissé s'exprimer en les protégeant contre eux-mêmes. Comme avec un enfant, on lui laisse faire sa crise "de bacon" en s'assurant qu'il ne se blesse ou blesse quelqu'un d'autre.
