QUÉBEC---LEGAULT ce jour.......déconfinement à petit pas/prudence et en 2 étapes.

-31 JANVIER...Réouverture des restos à 50%/ 4 personnes max ou 2 bulles familiales-----rassemblements privés max 4 personnes ou 2 bulles familiales----reprise des activités de sport aux primaires/secondaires mais sans compétition et spectateurs.

-7 FÉVRIER...Réouverture des salles de spectacle--cinémas--activités sportives MAIS à 50% de capacité et max 500 personnes----réouverture des églises à 50% max 250 personnes----salons funéraires 50 personnes.

C'est une lente route de reprise des activités guidée par l'extrême prudence vue la saturation/situation dans nos hôpitaux.. MAIS au moins on avance...

I want to get visa and return to Montreal but covid restriction stopped me. I have already apply for permanent resident canada this stuff. But I hope It will be succesful and I can entry to Canada soon. If you don’t have your PR card yet, but meet all the legal requirements, make sure you finalize the process to receive one. You should never leave Canada without your permanent residence card, otherwise you run the risk of being denied entry.

ICU holding steady below 319, which is Level 3 max. Still have no idea on new cases, but hospitalizations have not increased by huge amounts. Fingers crossed!!!!

QUÉBEC..DR.BOILEAU...DIRECTEUR SANTÉ PUBLIQUE...ce jour/15 hres.

--Déconfinement en plusieurs étapes/une semaine à la fois.
--42% ont reçu une 3ème dose...faut accélérer le rythme.
--sous--variant OMICRON le BA.2...51 cas détectés au pays....pas inquiétant dans la mesure ou on est vacciné.
-estimation des cas par jour....selon lui entre 40,000--50,000 ....MAIS preuve que la vaccination fonctionne.
-en sa présence l'INESSS constate une décroissance des hosp. et surtout prévoit une diminution de 170 hosp./jour d'ici le 5 Février ......pour être autour de 2,500.....quand même une bonne nouvelle.....à suivre.
-7,4% des hospitalisations se retrouvent aux soins intensifs....quand même cela porte à réfléchir.....avis aux non-vaccinés.
--pas de vaccination obligatoire en vue.

En bref LA VACCINATION demeure toujours la seule voie de sortie pour retrouver une vie normale le plus rapidement possible......message très clair.

Perso j'ai trouvé le DR.BOILEAU crédible/ solide et surtout très clair et persuasif. Congrats pour cette 1ère conf. de presse sans la présence des élus.....importante indépendance/autonomie.....à répéter.

QC crossed 13,000 deaths from COVID.

For comparison:

BC: 5.1 million population ===> 2.6K deaths
QC: 8.5 million population ===> 13.1K deaths.

COVID-19: Current situation - Canada.ca

Information for Canadians on COVID-19 (coronavirus) including current cases, risk, monitoring, COVID-19 variants and how to get updates.

www.canada.ca

If QC's stats were like BC's, only 4.3K (not 13.1K) deaths would have been recorded.

QC population is 67% larger, but suffered 500% more deaths.

8,800 families, basically a small town, would still have their family member today.

Those numbers are staggering. A high score in this case is TERRIBLE.

Get ready for BA.2, a subvariant of Omicron that is spreading in CT:

Researcher: New COVID subvariant may be spreading fast in CT

Initial indications suggest that BA.2 may make up as much as 16 percent of coronavirus...

Wuhan....bats....China.....a new form of MERS. This can`t be good.
It hasn`t jumped to humans yet but it can especially in Chinese wet markets. Present vaccines would be completely ineffective against this new bug.

Update
Yesterday

USA:
+ 536 k new cases
3,769 dead

Total: + 882 k dead

At this rate deaths will reach a million in the last week of February . Sad

Likely to slow down, I think. Last week's deaths were from Christmas celebrations. But more pain coming for the Red states.

Oh well, if only there was some way to protect people from the virus of misinformation.

Veering into politics, but there has been a constant war against education for decades.
University is almost impossible to get in for anyone who isn’t wealthy, unless you get an athletic scholarship.
Teachers are poorly paid and often have to buy their own supplies.

Most of the anti vax rhetoric is just plain stupid and anyone with a high school education should see through it.
Note also the inability of most to understand simple statistics and the inability to understand simple risk ratios.
Constant ridicule of anyone with degrees, preferring facebook over actual real science.
A demographic who have ADHD and can’t read anything longer than a meme or tweet.
Do you think any of these anti vaxxers have read The Red Queen?
Could they if they tried?
Easier to watch Fox News and as a bonus, they tell you whatever makes you feel good and spect.

The same happens in Canada but not to the same degree. I have two neices who are teachers. Not an easy job.

Are these also stupid, illetrate and cannot read statistics?

Teachers are poorly paid and often have to buy their own supplies.

This has never failed to amaze me - teachers buying supplies for their kids. Pencils, notebooks, etc.

Why aren't parents buying those? It's their damn kids. Don't the parents feed and clothe them?

Thanks for proving my point.
Instead of quoting a book or a peer reviewed journal article, you post a video.
Really, for your own good, try reading a few books.

Staff at Chapters or Indigo could give you some recommendations. Start with Bill Bryson's A Brief History of Everything. Try Carl Sagan's A World Lit Only By Fire. Richard Dawkins Selfish Gene is one of the most important books of the 20th Century. The Red Queen is very relevant to the Covid situation.

Turn off your TV and internet, get out of your echo chamber and explore the real world.

no, worst than that

One of the doctors who spoke at Sen. Ron Johnson’s (R-WI) COVID panel this morning described the vaccine as “fake,” “the clot shot,” and “needle rape.”

So to understand this correctly, I sent you a video link showing you that there experts within the "others" , and from that you deduced that I am illiterate, and do not read? Oh man!
So not only are you trying to dodge the issue by turning it around and making it about my intellectual life, but you also judged it.I am not sure, but isn't this called arrogance?
Here is my advice to you on some readings:
Noam Chomsky: Media Control, the spectacular achievement of propaganda
Thomas Erikson, Surrounded by idiots
Roosevelt Montas: Rescuing Socrates
Francis Fukuyama: Political Order and Political decay (might shed some lights as to our political situation)

When you assume that you are smarter and more knowledgeable than others, sadly, it is just because of the opposite. Little knowledge is actually dangerous.

This article proves what exactly? They are accusing them of misinformation, it does not mean that is true. Easy, I am accusing the writer of deceptive spread of information, and being paid by the Pharmaceutical industry. You see how easy that is. No need to prove why or how I got the info.

Actually the article starts with a sentence that says it all. These "doctors" were hosted by a senator that proposed we treat Covid with mouthwash.
It's on the public record as his his suspension from youtube for spreading misinformation.
It's your right to believe what you want

Looks like the Covid finally got Trudeau:

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau tests positive for Covid-19 — CNN

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has tested positive for Covid-19, he announced Monday, as his nation continues to face a surge in cases due to the Omicron variant, as well as rowdy protests in the capital over pandemic health restrictions.
