MONTRÉAL ce jour....DRE DROUIN....5000 cas ces 3 derniers jours et 90% OMICRON....population jeune 18-44 ans est la plus touchée.....taux de positivité de 18% ayoye...près de1/5 .....a fait aussi un appel à rester à la maison.

A Montreal health official has informed us that 1 in 5 Montreal people who have been tested are positive for Covid19. If accurate then that`s 20% of the population or about a half a million in the Montreal region. Walk on a busy street downtown and in less than 30 seconds you will have been in near contact to a person with Omicron.
News that this "Darwin`s mistakes" candidate calling himself COVID will find funny.

WOW....yep so true.....terrible... far from over... we are just just at the begining ...the peak will probably b in 3-4 weeks.

But is that 1 in 5 that went to be tested or 1 in 5 randomly on the street ? I suspect it's the former. A high positivity rate anyways but not nearly as bad as 1 in 5 in the random population. Anyone going for a test and waiting hours has a high probability of being positive, which is why they are willing to wait hours.

It`s most likely a majority of those that volunteer to be tested but includes those that have to be tested like airline passengers . The flip side is many who have covid19 and are asymptomatic or have mild cold like symptoms, are not being tested.

3287 dead

Yep that's what les infos nous disent....better than nothing...lolll.....doit être pris dans les 5 jours de l'apparition des symptômes et sur prescription......so the question is PFIZER or MERK....the answer seems obvious.
.

Mais ces 2 médicaments ne doivent pas remplacer les vaccins.....faut continuer la vaccination....ces 2 médicaments sont complémentaires....BUT still a major step.

QUÉBEC....Hey boboy....plus de 10,000 cas ce jour ......aucune autre donnée...les bilans de la Santé publique faisant relâche jusqu'au 26 Décembre.....oh boy on risque fort d'avoir tout un choc le 27 au matin... sur ce JOYEUX NOEL quand même.

If it's 1 thing that OMICRON shows us is that current travel protocols DON'T WORK.

What we need is strict 10 day quarantines for ALL travellers. Every passenger should be treated as a vehicle for the virus unless proven otherwise. Facilities would be run like biohazard facilities so everyone working there gets suited up. Ensure no contact, and quarantine hotels are run by the military/police. Yes, in effect, those hotels are prisons. On day 8 they get tested and only after a negative result are they released.

Either we have facilities like that or we build more hospitals. I know which one I'd prefer. And oh yeah, the traveller pays for it, not the government.

Wetnose , where do you dream up your paranoid repressive ideas ? China?

 

[sene5hos]

There are many days where the death toll is 100-200.

It's only one day per week, during weekend

Do you know the origin of the word "quarantine"??? It comes from Italian - being quarantina = 40 days.

Quarantine - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

During the days of the Black Death (15th century), the Venetians would force ships to sit in the harbor for 40 days - not allowed to dock, until the ship proved that there was no infection. Nobody called it repression back then. It was just sensible, which seems to be rarer in this century.

So my idea is not original. It's from 14th century Italy.

Given we're now looking at a possible lockdown, I'd far prefer inconveniencing 1000s than risking 1,000,000s of lives, untold mental anguish and MILLIONS of dollars in economic damage. Omicron might prove to be mild, but what if it's not??? What if the next variant is far more vicious and infectious?

Look at Australia, which had strict quarantine protocols like I described. The results speak for themselves: Canada has 788 deaths/million. Australia? 84.

9 Canadians died of covid compared to 1 Australian. Think about that.

That's like going to war with 1000 Canadians and 1000 Australians. The Canadians stagger back with 100 survivors. The Australians get to go home with 900.

Not bad for an idea from 14th Century Italy, huh?

Don’t forget how poorly the democrat run states are doing. You only seem to post those stats for republican run states when it fits your agenda.

Quarantine has been put in place since 1832 in Canada and for Irish immigrants in 1847 for the Typhus and up to 1937 for other possible pandemics.

A nanny state being justified in the name of public health. That is what society is voting for. This is going too far.
