Coronavirus

Sûrement une bonne explication à l'arrivée/développement des variants.....l'Afrique du Sud est vacciné à moins de 25 % et dans sa globalité le continent africain est vacciné à un taux de moins de 10%.

Pas une question de production de médicaments MAIS de logistique/distribution.....et aussi ont d'autres priorités telles les guerres dévastatrices et autres maladies telle la malaria...etc...whithout counting the clash with beliefs.

Bref....encore beaucoup de travail sur la planche et bien loin de gagner cette bataille.

..et sans compter HAITI--pays très présent chez nous---avec 1% de vaccinés....toutes ces données doivent nous faire sérieusement réfléchir.

Here's an introduction to wet markets, done by an American currently living in China. FYI, in China there're 2 types of markets. There's the "dry" part of the market - because it sells non-perishables and preserved goods. Canned goods, dried fruit/pickles, spices & sauces, sausages, etc. The wet market sells vegetables, meats and seafoods. The wet market has existed for 100s if not 1000s of years. And refrigeration did not exist until very recently. So vendors would buy live chickens/pigs/livestock and sell them in the market. Sometimes sold as live, sometimes slaughtered on the spot. This would provide the guarantee the meat was fresh.

Very, very few of them sell the exotic stuff like bats, turtles and wild game. It's like trying to find caribou at the IGA or Provigo. Just not a common craving among mainland Chinese.

OMICRON.....1er cas détecté aux Etas-Unis--California......quelqu'un de surpris .....un voyageur en provenance de l'Afrique du Sud.

MONTRÉAL....ce jour...Mylène Drouin....Santé publique,

-depuis deux semaines environ 250 cas/jour......majorité en provenance de secteurs moins vaccinés de la Métropole et beaucoup en service de garde et milieux scolaires.

-hospitalisations...très stable et même réduction.

-OMICRON....1 cas/voyageur isolé....rien d'autre sur le radar mais prudence et rehaussement dans les prochaines semaines du ciblage.

-vaccination....le tiers des 5-11 ans en processus et devrait s'améliorer avec la tournée mobile des écoles. Bonne nouvelle presque toutes les clientèles âgées /cible en CHLSD et autres sont vaccinées.....appel aux 70 ans et plus de s'inscrire dès maintenant pour la
3ème dose.....will do it soon.

So let me get this straight, it is the vaccinated people that are spreading this new variant since the pure bloods are not allowed entry into Canada or the USA.

She is not a medical doctor. She has a PHD in education and psychology.
She was a consultant for WHO almost 10 years ago

She is a well known right wing nutcake in Europe, known for presenting false data.

News is easy to find and manipulate, it's FAKES NEWS.

When we analyze all your posts, we see that the information comes from conspirators, because it changes the information in their favor, this is called disinformation.

This morning, OMICRON is in 38 countries.

Over 99% of new COVID cases are still from the Delta variant. All this fear mongering by the fake news, xenophobic travel bans, and threats of lockdowns do nothing except to cause premature panic. We need to wait for the real science in a couple of weeks to determine what the testing results show us. Right now, all that I've been hearing is that the Omicron variant is milder than the Delta and MIGHT be easier to transmit. We will all know soon enough just how bad this new variant is or if the current vaccines are ineffective.

Personally I`ve made a choice to not take certain vaccines like the common flu or against Shingles.

One of my friends (ex-roommate from university days) got Shingles and he said it's utterly brutal. We both had chickenpox together and he said shingles was much worse than chickenpox.

So he advised me to get the vaxx asap. The older shingles vaxx was barely 50% effective but the latest one (Shingrix) is 90%+ effective. I highly recommend you get it. I got mine despite not meeting the age cutoff.

In December I will have my third dose of Pfizer's anti-covid vaccine, because another variant has just appeared.

My mother, a few years before she died, had shingles.

She suffered a lot, she had a lot of pimples and pain in her back.

She told all these children that it would be better to take the vaccine. And all of us got vaccinated.
Luckily the new 2-dose vaccine had just been released.

Do you have a backyard? Well some Americans think it's lovely for warding off COVID, among other things. Hey our COVID deathrate is 1/3 of America's so maybe our secret is in the dirt. Make some money, help an American, everybody is happy!

Apprendre à vivre avec le virus. Je crois que plusieurs personnes interprètent mal ce message. Plusieurs l'interprètent qu'il faut accepter que le virus est là pour longtemps et qu'il faut reprendre la vie comme avant sans plus aucune mesure et accepter qu'il y aura des personnes infectées et malades. Apprendre à vivre avec le virus signifie que l'on doit intégrer dans notre façon de vivre les différentes mesures sanitaires appropriées selon l'évolution de la situation. Toutes espèces humaines doit sa survie à sa capacité à s'adapter à une situation. Certaines espèces le font par instinct d'autre comme la notre sont dotées d'une intelligence leur permettant de réfléchir et de penser à mettre en place des solutions. Malheureusement certaines personnes pensent que tout va se régler tout seul; c'est notre capacité à s'adapter ce qui implique des changements de comportements qui peut nous sauver.

NYC to require all private sector employees to be vaccinated. First city in the states to do this. It probably wont last, but it's a sign of bad things to come.

‘Blindsided’: Fury in NYC as de Blasio gives firms just 3 weeks to get vaxxed

Mayor Bill de Blasio called the policy a “pre-emptive strike” against an expected surge in COVID cases this winter amid the emergence of the Omicron variant of the virus.

Booster shot protects against the omicron variant. Let's see how the fake news decides to spin this:

Even before omicron establishes a firm foothold, infections are soaring,\u00a0including in highly vaccinated regions like New England. Latest COVID news.
