Il y a 2 questions. La première est "Combien d'hospitalisés sont atteints de COVID"? Un patient COVID demande un environnement spécifique car on veut éviter la contamination du personnel et des autres patients. La deuxième est "Combien sont hospitalisé pour des symptômes COVID, plus particulièrement troubles respiratoires"? D'autres part, on sait que des patients diabétiques décompensent lorsque atteint de COVID et requièrent des soins urgents. Leurs symptômes sont très différents de ceux d'une COVID conventionnelle mais non moins importants et sont dûs à l'infection par le virus SARS-Cov2. Un patient COVID est donc une charge importante sur le système hospitalier quelque soit la raison de son hospitalisation. Enfin, la population est plus âgée au Québec qu'en Ontario. Tout cela peut expliquer une différence dans les chiffres officiels mais ne change rien à la situation. Les urgences et le système hospitalier est sous tension et la seule façon de remédier à la situation est la vaccination avec les doses de rappel pour contrer les variants Omicron. Ajoutons la prudence et l'éducation. Il y a encore beaucoup trop de faussetés et/ou d'ignorance véhiculés sur divers forum.

Encore aujourd'hui, bien qu"étant très minoritaires, les non-vaccinés font les frais de leur décision. Ils comptent pour plus de 52% des hospitalisations et des décès.

Even today, although being very much in the minority, the non-vaccinated bear the brunt of their decision. They account for more than 52% of hospitalizations and deaths.

Interesting that when it comes to deaths, a single booster doesn't give much protection.

We should be careful with interpreting those numbers, looking at 1 graph.. Only around 50% of the population got 1 booster shot and those are among the most fragile, older or immuno-compromised.
The numbers just tell that 19% of the deaths have received 1 booster shot.
Those interested, take time to read the full datas. https://health-infobase.canada.ca/covid-19/

President Joe Biden has tested positive for COVID-19, the White House announced Thursday.

In a statement, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said that Biden was experiencing "very mild symptoms" and has begun taking Paxlovid, an antiviral therapy recently been approved to reduce the severity of the disease.

Biden, 79, is fully vaccinated and has received two booster shots, the last of which he received March 30. His last test prior was Tuesday, when he tested negative, she said.

This is believed to be the first time Biden has tested positive for COVID.

CL500 WTF is so funny ?

Dr.Boileau ce jour....les nouveaux variants sont très contagieux/présents....avec un taux de positivité de 16,1...c.a.d 1 personne positive peut en contaminer 16...wow... . A insisté as usual sur des comportements responsables et plus particulièrement sur

la DISTANCIATION et le PORT DU MASQUE pour les 60 ans et plus ...et les personnes vulnérables/maladies chroniques......de même que pour ceux qui les fréquentent. A dit travailler sur la campagne vaccinale d'automne...et va nous revenir.

Cela dit....j'aimerais beaucoup que notre Ministre de la Santé remette ses culottes et se manifeste....c'est bien d'écouter un Haut Fonctionnaire....mais IMHO quand le politique parle ...il est plus écouté....et dans la situation actuelle ..il doit RÉPÉTER souvent

HAUT ET FORT le message de comportement responsable.....avant d'être dépassé again par la situation.......my 2 cents en ce JEUDI hot hot hot sur la Cité.

A dit travailler sur la campagne vaccinale d'automne...et va nous revenir.

A voir si on aura un nouveau vaccin. Il y a 2 ans on nous a promis une technologie qui peut s'adapter rapidement pourtant on a les memes vaccins dépassés par 4 ou 5 générations de variants.

 

[gaby]

Entendu ce midi /RDI un virologue dire qu'il souhaitait/espérait un vaccin pour combattre à la fois la grippe et le virus.....hum....pas très rassurant SI c'était le cas.

Apparently the new variant has a new and very unique side effect. It makes people actually got to work or work harder. President Brandon is usually done with his day by noon, but today after testing positive for COVID he was "working hard all day" in the White House according to the fake news reports. Finally, old Brandon put in a full 8 hours, good for him.

But I thought we were told over and over again that "this is a pandemic of the unvaccinated". Mr. Brandon is vaccinated and twice boosted.

...and good....it appears he has mild symptoms..

He should have been more clear about catching covid vs dying from covid. The subtlety is sometimes lost

2022 is shaping up to be the deadliest year for covid - as of Dec 25, 2021, there were 29,854 deaths in Canada from covid.

COVID-19 epidemiology update: Summary — Canada.ca

Summary of COVID-19 activity levels, hospitalizations and deaths, testing and variants, and outbreaks across Canada and over time.

health-infobase.canada.ca

As of July 9? 42,148, so about 12,200 just for 2022.

Assuming the trend stays constant (maybe even higher since no one gives a F*ck anymore & the health system has broken down in Ontario & Quebec), Canada will get about 25,000+ deaths from covid in 2022. So much for the virus becoming less deadlier.

Don't let any of your loved ones be 1 of those!!!!

So funny you are trying to push your silly comment using what you reported yourself as a "fake news report"???
Maybe you should take a rest and try to put some logic in what you are writing.
On an other side, you may be all right. Before his COVID, old Dump was spending most of his time golfing or signing Big Sharpie Stupid Executive Orders. After his COVID and specially since President Biden won the election, he seems dedicating all his time propagating the Big Lie which is a big work. This Dump is probably the most vaccinated person in the US.
You are also right that COVID as such unexpected effects. It pushes a small minority of not so wise people to comment and deny its existence or its importance. or trying to minimize the severity of the situation.

The Liberals like to lie to push their narrative (The God of Liberal voters). However it is funny how ALL research is not disclosed on Canadian media. Could it be because they all received the media assistance fund (bribe money from the Liberals). Having said that, a new study published by the New England Journal of Medicine has demonstrated that people who are triple-vaccinated against COVID recover significantly more slowly from COVID infection and remain contagious for longer than people who are not vaccinated at all. Could explain why the cases never end and why there are so many variants.

New study: COVID booster significantly delays end of infection

31% boosted people still contagious 10 days post-infection vs. 6% unvaccinated.

Media coverage comparison for Biden and Trump when they caught COVID:

An other baseless comment. Trump almost died from it. He needed hospitalization and a cocktail or very expensive antibody treatment and other anti-viral drugs.
Fully vaccinated, and respecting common sens caution, President Biden had mild symptoms.
It is fascinating to see how FOX News, the most Main Stream Media in US, continues using COVID to divide Americans again. It is also sad that some people accept this rhetoric.
COVID is real bad news for anyone and should not be used to push personal political agenda. Anyway, there is a dedicated thread for political comments.

En français on dirait: Que le jupon dépasse... Ce qui veut dire que votre crédibilité est gravement affecté par l'utilisation d'arguments fallacieux.
Ce thread est supposé avoir pour sujet la COVID et ses conséquences désastreuses et les moyens pour la contrer ou minimiser ses effets.
La vaccination et la prévention par la vaccination, le port du masque lorsque nécessaire, le lavage des mains et le maintien d'une saine distanciation sont des moyens simples, efficaces et gratuits pour contrôler la propagation du virus
