QUÉBEC...DUBÉ...ce jour,

-OMICRON....encore sous contrôle....une quarantaine de cas à ce jour MAIS DUBÉ affirme avec raison que c'est sous estimé....va accroître le criblage.

-VACCINATION.....avec OMICRON qui va être très contagieux DUBÉ presse les non vaccinés à bouger et recommande aux personnes à risque et aux 60 ans et plus de procéder asap à leur 3ème dose....ne bouge pas encore pour les autres catégories pce qu'il manque
500 vaccinateurs minimum.

-TESTS RAPIDES....10 millions disponibles dès LUNDI à travers le RÉSEAU PHARMACEUTIQUE....5 tests gratuits par personne /30 jours.....jusqu'au 31 Mars 2022.

-NOEL...garde le cap POUR LE MOMENT pour des rassemblements de 20 personnes VACCINÉES APRÈS LE 23 DÉCEMBRE....MAIS fait appel au bon sens/jugement des citoyens....on le sentait de plus en plus hésitant...lol....mais avec raison. Pourrait changer d'idée
si la tendance actuelle se maintient..et même s'attend dans les prochains jours/semaines à de fortes hausses....donc....à suivre.

Ontario is estimating the R-nought of Omicron to be 4.01 - which means 1 person can potentially infect 4, who each infect another 4 and so on.

For comparison, Delta's R-nought is 1.09 - so 100 people could infect another 109, etc etc.

Omicron driving up Canada’s R value at ‘unprecedented’ rate. Here’s what that means - National | Globalnews.ca

The reproductive rate of the Omicron variant in Ontario is almost four times as much as the Delta variant, which experts say could result in an overwhelmed health-care system.

There's still 1.9M people in QC who are not fully vaccinated. This could be very bad.

Give me liberty, or give me death!

And yes, I have been triple vaccinated and I'm in a vulnerable group (i.e. I'm human).

We can’t go on like this

When liberty can be snatched away at a moment’s notice, it becomes meaningless.

www.spiked-online.com

...We can’t go on like this. We can’t keep ratcheting up terror in response to every outbreak of Covid. We can’t keep putting social life and work life on hold every time there’s a wave of disease. We can’t keep putting a gun to the head of the hospitality industry, and threatening to plunge its businesses and its workers into turmoil, whenever a worrying variant emerges. We can’t keep drifting back into lockdown, which we might now do in January, in response to the notoriously pessimistic and often wrong modelling of epidemiologists who know the R number of everything and the value of nothing. We can’t carry on in this limbo between normality and shutdown. In some ways it isn’t the current restrictions themselves that are particularly onerous. They’re relatively mild, for now. No, it’s the knowledge that restrictions could return at any time that corrodes our citizenship and throttles our freedom. When liberty can be snatched away at a moment’s notice, it becomes meaningless...

MONTRÉAL---DRE.DROUIN....ce jour,

En date d'hier 844 nouveaux cas et 3 décès---augmentation de 90% de la semaine précédente ----encore variant DELTA dominant MAIS 95 cas OMICRON détecté.....on s'attend à une hausse encore plus importante. Taux de positivité est passé de 5% à 8%.

Moyenne d'âge est jeune soit 32 ans....et 50% des cas sont en provenance des États-Unis !!!!.......suggère fortement de RÉDUIRE les contacts/ partys de bureau/rassemblements collégiaux et universitaires/partys privés....et s'en tenir au télétravail.

Faut se préparer à une hausse importante des hospitalisations.....actuellement 78 hospitalisations et 34 aux soins intensifs.....et les urgences débordent de 127% à 150% ...très mauvais signe en cette période des Fêtes,

VACCINATION....81 % des Montréalais sont doublement vaccinés MAIS seulement 40% des 5-11 ans le sont.....du travail encore à faire.......140 travailleurs de la santé sont atteints de la COVID actuellement.

CANADA...ce jour....le MINISTRE de la Santé DUCLOS déconseille fortement aux Canadiens les voyages non essentiels pour 4 semaines.....craint qu'ils puissent se retrouver en danger/coincés dans des pays ou sévit de facon exponentielle le variant OMICRON.

Ce n'est pas le temps de voyager......statu quo pour les voyageurs étrangers MAIS la situation pourrait vite changer.

Lego made his announcement but I am surprised by the measures as I expected them to shut the bars down. Anyhow restaurants and bars will have to cut capacity limits to 50%. Karaoke and dancing on the floor will be banned. Places of worship will have mandatory vaccine passports. Workers will be asked to work from home. Xmas gatherings max 10. But we both know not much people will respect the measures and will host Xmas parties. Cases will keep on going up all in time for when they are pushing 3rd booster shots. Also in some months a 3rd booster shot will be mandatory for the vaccine passport.

COVID updates, Dec. 16: Quebec cuts capacity limits in stores, bars, restaurants to 50% as of Monday

Province reduces interval between doses to three months, speeds up booster shots for people age 60-69, with all adults eligible as of January. Holiday gatherings capped at 10 people.

The wealthiest liberal democracies with the highest vaccination rate. Sounds fishy to me.

I smell aliens with space lasers being directed by the UN. The same ones that were lighting forest fires.

La mairesse Valérie Plante---doublement vaccinée---- en isolement depuis Vendredi car testée positive...dit bien se porter....et Jean-Charles Lajoie----animateur sportif bien connu ici---doublement vacciné-----en isolement aussi avec des symptômes sévères et perte du goût/odorat.

Cela porte beaucoup à réfléchir quand des personnalités de chez nous et près de nous sortent publiquement avec de telles déclarations....les 2 nous invitent à la prudence......message bien recu. On va leur souhaiter de bien s'en tirer et un retour rapide à
leurs activités .
