Coronavirus

[gallantca]

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)

COVID-19 in the U.S.: How do Canada's provinces rank against American states?

Looking at confirmed coronavirus cases per million people, how do the U.S. states compare to Canada's provinces and territories?

yet they put a travel advisory on Canada. I guess if it makes them feel better about themselves....

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

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.....

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.

Yesterday in USA

+ 301 k new cases.
2,219 dead

He did not provide proof. He regurgitated the OPINION of a professor. That opinion is contradicted by other professors. At the end, all politics aside, there isn't consensus on gain of function research. In the worst case they will find there was a difference of opinion. Fauci is no idiot. He is not going to lie to Congress. He knows exactly what he is saying. Were they dangerously close to the line on this one. I wouldn't be surprised.

He is asking the DOJ to investigate which is fine. Sending it to the court of public opinion is "typical". You expect that people who take horse medication over vaccination will understand this stuff ?

BTW, if you want to make it absolute political BS, just say it was most recently funded under the Trump admin.

That is exactly the kind of BS we don't need. A clown senator intentionally undermining the credibility of a guy we need in the middle of a pandemic.

At least you guys read the article, one of the biggest issues with COVID is the media coverage. I don’t care much for Rand Paul either.

C'mon P, bus driver/Indianapolis 500? Not sure what your even talking about. The senator is accusing Dr. Fauci of lying. He is elected by his constituents to do exactly this. Rand Paul is perfectly in the right to make these accusations. The fact that he has nothing to do with Fauci's field of expertise is irrelevant. You just dislike the accuser. Had it been someone from the left side of the aisle you would have fallen right in line with the other sheep.

This is what the last stages of COVID look like:

This is what COVID death looks like - tubes down your throat and gasping for air. It's like being choked to death or drowning, but instead of it taking minutes, it takes days or weeks... What an absolutely miserable way to go out. Tubes sticking out of your chest, your legs or neck from ecmo, a stint through your arm, a feeding tube into your stomach, ports from kidney dialysis.

Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones has a total Ivermectin (drug against coronavirus) meltdown, appearing to take the drug on air, although it's not actually clear he did.

The scary part is people would rather take medical advice from someone like that, than believe a renowned doctor who specializes in viruses.

Alex Jones straight up lied. He said Ivermectin won a Nobel Prize for being an antiviral. False. It won a Nobel Prize in 2015, NOT 2005, for being a novel treatment against roundworm parasites. Ivermectin isn’t approved for ANY antiviral “stuff.”

Just so I understand because this is complex :

People that take the vaccines are sheep. Right ?

People that take livestock medication are ......?

This is complicated.

I will listening to Calgrary radio today via the iHeartRadio app.

They have more hospitalizations than Quebec/Ontario/Maritimes combined.

Lower vaccination rate, getting rid of restrictions......what could go wrong ?

We have to learn from other people's mistakes. The good news we're surrounded by people that make mistakes
