Doit-on se préparer a confronter prochainement le variant MU---porte bien son nom---apparu en Colombie en Janvier.....et qui s'est répandu en Amérique latine et un peu ailleurs dans le monde.....très très contagieux et résisterait aux vaccins..... semblerait qu'il y aurait
peu de chance qu'il devienne dominant.....MAIS qui sait ....ces virus ne s'arrêtent pas aux frontières...alors autant être aux aguets.

Let's not press the panic button quite yet.

Go Pfizer !!!

Quebecers will now have to show proof of vaccination against COVID-19 in order to gain access to certain non-essential services, including bars, restaurants and some sports.
"We'll watch how it goes and we will adjust as we go," said Quebec Health Minister Christian Dubé, adding further details will be revealed later in the week.
Starting Wednesday, merchants will be required to ask anyone coming into their establishment to not only show proof of vaccination, but also a matching piece of photo ID.
This will allow businesses to confirm that the people entering their space are "adequately protected" against the virus.

Critique envers le vaccin | Le comédien Joe Rogan attrape la COVID-19

Critiqué pour avoir prétendu que les jeunes n’avaient pas besoin de se vacciner contre la COVID-19, le comédien américain Joe Rogan, dont la balado est écoutée par des millions de personnes, a annoncé mercredi avoir été testé positif au coronavirus.

(Los Angeles) Criticized for claiming that young people don't need to be vaccinated against COVID-19, American comedian Joe Rogan, whose podcast is listened to by millions of people, announced Wednesday that he tested positive for coronavirus.

Joe Rogan shared on Instagram that he tested positive after showing moderate symptoms of the disease upon returning from a trip to Florida, hit by an increase in cases caused by the highly contagious Delta variant.

He added that he took medication to treat himself including ivermectin, an antiparasitic popular in some circles despite the lack of evidence of its effectiveness against the virus.

He prefers to take a dangerous drug instead of the vaccine. There are really unconscious people.

^^^^Sene and will rarely agree on anything but I know that we are both pro vaccine. Had Joe Rogan simply been vaccinated it’s quite possible that he would never had caught COVID. But I see Joe Rogans story a little differently. He got COVID and survived it! By the third day he was feeling 100%. The media is all over this because it mentions Florida, COVID and a famous anti vaxxer. But what is really happening is the media doesn’t want to you to remember that the vast majority of people who get COVID survive it. The media needs to get away from making everyone still think it’s a death sentence. People are getting tired of constantly hearing all of the negative press. Yes, Joe Rogan caught COVID. The real story is that his body took care of it in about 72 hours. No pictures of people on ventilators, no mass crowds at a concert or a motorcycle rally, just a guy who’s body beat the disease like many others have done before him. I still say everyone should get vaccinated, but the media needs to stop scaring people into submission. Joe Rogan beating COVID in about three days is a great story, good for him.

QUÉBEC ce jour....750 nouveaux cas....en augmentation constante-----2 nouveaux décès---147 hospitalisations +9----49 aux soins intensifs +7....non pas vraiment dans la bonne direction....alors prudence prudence prudence.

As Canada enters it fourth wave they are set to allow even more people into the country next week. Hope this doesn‘t turn into an even greater uptick in cases closing the border for Americans again. On my recent trip to Montreal the town wasn’t as lively as I’ve been accustomed to in NY. More importantly, the SP scene isn’t what it once was but the massage scene was definitely pretty good.

Hey boboy....beaucoup s'en doutait bien ....DUBÉ --qui sûrement n'en pouvait plus de se retenir --- a lâché le morceau today......OUBLIEZ L'IMMUNITÉ COLLECTIVE...a t-il dit et le virus-- avec la mutiplication des variants à travers le monde-- EST LÀ POR RESTER
encore des années....comme on dit ca fesse un peu dans le dash.......lolll.
Alors il reviendra à chacun de s'y adapter----la vaccination reste l'atout principal pour confronter --éviter la maladie---et adapter son mode de vie en conséquence.....la responsabilité revient à tous et chacun....et c'est bien normal.
Même si c'était dans les cartes cette réalité va transformer nos vies et nous inviter à la prudence.....mieux vaut mettre toutes les chances de notre côté.....et oui oui oui la vaccination demeure notre meilleur allié.....my 2 cents en cette veille d'un beau et long congé...
BTW sûrement pas pour rien que DUBÉ a sorti cette nouvelle today,
Bon weekend.

It's a human disaster.

Last year covid was an utter disaster. In 2021 August...it's like a really dark comedy. (Anti-parasite medication for horses, anyone????) Safe, effective vaccines have been available for months. About 90%+ of hospitalizations are entirely preventable. I really don't feel sorry for them - they're just like DUI drivers who end up crushed against a telephone pole. 18 months mocking the virus response and 8 months avoiding the vaccine - they made it this far into the pandemic and finally their luck ran out.

They got sucked in by disinformation, had to prove their convictions and now their families will pay the price.

Here's what the 4th wave looks like on a provincial and state level (I wonder what the top 10 US states have in common, hmmmm)

The next step for immunity ... assuming the population is fully vaxxed, is to get infected and fingers crossed, not suffer too much.

=====

[URL unfurl = "true"] https://www.straitstimes.com/singap...ward-so-it-is-a-matter-of-choosing-the-least- bad-one [/ url]

Eventually, the spread of the disease in the population is inevitable. But this may not be a bad thing, said Prof Ooi Eng Eong, who co-directs the Viral Research and Experimental Medicine Center at the SingHealth Duke-NUS Academic Medical Center.

He said: "If one then gets asymptomatically infected, then it's the best thing that can happen for immunity - we will then develop immune response to the rest of the virus and not just to the spike gene.

If we are worried about new variants, asymptomatic infection after vaccination is the way to go.

But he admits: "Letting the virus spread will take a lot of guts. Obviously, this is harder to control and is easier to conceptualize theoretically than to implement."

A new variant MU

 

[gaby]

..oui le variant MU....l'OMS l'a répertorié...... faudra sans doute s'en méfier....pas encore dominant....mais très contagieux et semblerait résister aux vaccins ACTUELS.....à suivre.....

 

[gaby]

LEGAULT ce jour.....avec 171 hospitalisations today et la Santé publique qui prévoit une augmentation significative dans les prochains jours /semaines.....LEGAULT trouve la situation INQUIÉTANTE....avec en plus un manque d'infirmières....rien de rassurant.
Mentionne aussi qu'il faudra vivre avec ce virus et les hospitalisations y reliées....et qu'il faudra revoir l'ORGANISATION de notre système de santé...wow...tout un défi !

DUBÉ annonce la vaccination OBLIGATOIRE du personnel en santé d'ici le 15 Octobre...que c'est absolument nécessaire pour protéger les vulnérables.....bien d'accord avec lui. Va aussi exiger des VISITEURS dans les hôpitaux et autres institutions de santé
le passeport vaccinal.

DUBÉ a aussi mentionné qu'il y a encore 900,000 Québécois éligibles qui sont non-vaccinés.....encore trop nombreux.....et a tenu à rappeler que 90% des hospitalisations et soins intensifs sont à Montréal.....wow....et que la grande majorité sont non-vaccinés....

Faudra t-il toujours le répéter ad nauseam...???? .

I would never trust anything Rand Paul said.

Not so much what he said, but the proof that was provided. But what does he know, he’s only a US senator and a doctor.

Being a U.S. senator is no recommendation whatsoever. As for being a doctor, his field has absolutely nothing to do with Dr. Fauci's field of expertise, which is the relevant one for this pandemic.. It's like assuming that a bus driver is an expert on the Indianapolis 500 because he also drives for a living. Paul has NO expertise in epidemiology and he's a politician who will say anything to stir up his right-wing followers. BTW, remember when he went for a swim in the Senate pool WHILE he had COVID? Yeah: a really trustworthy guy - NOT! You might also look up HOW Paul became a doctor and you might not be impressed.
