Lockdowns make it worse. Get over it. Get on with your life.
Once you factored out the black death rate that in turn greatly involved ignorance of proper health methods and also poor lifestyle choices resulting in obesity, heart disease, diabetes, drug abuse, etc, the American infection and death rate really was not that bad compared to Canada and other Western nations.
>> congenital smugness.
>> for the first time exceeded those in the U.S. In a class of two, we now ranked behind the kid who spent 2020 actively trying to fail.
They still have that smugness.
A couple decades ago, a Toronto radio station ran a contest. They said: Americans have their nation-wide slogan "as American as Baseball and apple pie"
The contest was to come up with a slogan: “as Canadian as….?”
The winner was: “….can be expected under the circumstances."
Coronavirus, the worst case of manufactured mass hysteria ever visited on humankind.
Let’s also remember that Canada has about 1/10 the number of people as the USA with a land mass about the same size...
The other thing to consider is that hospitals and the overall delivery of health services in Canada is governed by the politicians who wish to appear as the ultimate benefactors to all and the public employees’ unions like CUPE and OPSEU that basically run the day to day operations of health facilities. They have the clerical and janitorial staff receive benefits which are that good bit more generous than their private sector counterparts.
This system (created by Lester Pearson, Pierre Trudeau, and Tom Kent in the 1965 to 1969 era) for all of these years failed doctors and nurses (many of whom ultimately go to the United States for better paying jobs and working conditions) and patients who also go to the United States for better and more timelier care. It likely was also constructed without visualizing a situation like the current one, therefore not surprising that it continues to fail many today.
Everyone that gets a COVID test should br required, after a time, to get an antibodies test to confirm the validity of their positive or negative test results.
This is how we can cut thru the BS, get to the real numbers and fine tune our accuracy of the diagnostic tests for BatFlu.
20-35 year olds are getting the Wuhan Flu now, once they spread it amongst themselves for a month the numbers will drop like a pile of rocks.
Ontario......
How ‘bout Alberta?
Do Ontario and Quebec skew the numbers for all the rest of Canada?
Do New York and California skew the numbers for all of the USA?
As early as...(false positive Covid-19 results)
(Risk of False Results with the Curative SARS-Cov-2 Test for COVID-19)
Who to believe?
When you look at those two statements from this one article you can see that the author suffers from “cognitive dissonance” where he chastised Canadians for having the same opinion that he voices later.
Journalists are not the brightest bunch.
So here, the CDC seems to be admitting the vaccines do not work
Comrades, the Canadian Ministry of COVID compliance has initiated a complete and total lockdown of Ontario. Premier Doug Ford alerts comrade citizens they will be stopped, questioned and searched if they are out of their home. The lockdown is absolute and complete with checkpoints, suspension of civil rights laws and the implementation of a provincial Stasi authority for police to act as enforcement officers for the state.
Do not be alarmed Canadian comrades. Currently the Ontario enforcement units are not allowed to use deadly force for violations by non-compliant citizens. The state will determine your economic and social freedom based on your compliance. The Ontario COVID ministry appreciates your compliance in avoiding the dangerous virus freedom zones; and is thankful for compliant citizens who do not question the complex data analysis that goes into regional scientific tracking systems.
Remember, Canadians are all in this together; and to prove how critical this is to their society they must all stay apart.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford Extends Lockdown and Grants Police Near Unlimited Stop and Question Orders
In almost all regions of ministry control, being outdoors seems like one of the most potentially dangerous activities. Out of an abundance of caution those hubs of human activity have been shut-down. Anyone identified outside will be stopped and questioned. Violators will be prosecuted for non-compliance.
According to the most extensive study conducted so far, commercial buildings with cans of vegetables appear to be the safest venue allowing limited congregation and proximity. It is unknown if moving canned foods and sandwiches into durable goods locations, or other less traveled venues, would transfer the benefits of virus mitigation. The Ministry has a teleconference with scientists and industry experts scheduled later this week to analyze this question.
In the interim, the Ministry would like to remind you the greatest danger is your own behavior. Large box retailers with dense populations are safe-spaces. Smaller business with less density are hazards; and houses of religious worship are death traps due to their propensity to promote the most critically dangerous activity of all, fellowship.
And the smug Canadians are vaccinating with Pfizer and Moderna. Would be much worse there (and here) if Trump had not been President and put vaccines on warp speed. Had Biden been President, there would have been no warp speed or vaccines yet. The only new drugs would be the ones up Hunter’s nose.
