A bunch of nutbags in this state.
Covid-19
- Thread starter curious2garden

The more virus we harbor the more mutations the greater risk of needing more than one round of vaccines. It hurts all of us.

UN: ‘Concerning news’ vaccines may not work against variants
The head of the World Health Organization said Monday the emergence of new COVID-19 variants has raised questions about whether or not existing vaccines will work, calling it “concerning news” that the vaccines developed so far may be less effective against the variant first detected in South Africa.
Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said at a media briefing that South Africa’s decision on Sunday to suspend its vaccination campaign using the AstraZeneca vaccine is “a reminder that we need to do everything we can to reduce circulation of the virus with proven public health measures.”
He said it was increasingly clear that vaccine manufacturers would need to tweak their existing shots to address the ongoing genetic evolution of the coronavirus, saying booster shots would most likely be necessary, especially since new variants of the virus are now spreading globally and appear likely to become the predominant strains.

Actually got over the Thanksgiving/Christmas celebrations. That is a good thing with the new strains making the rounds.

Right.
The fact the the current president actually gives a fuck about the nation he has been elected to lead and is listening to scientists, as opposed to the last moron, has nothing to do with it.
The rates are lower now than they have been since the very beginning, but turfing Trump played no part in the matter.
Okay, whatever gets you through your day, man.

I have been following real medical information since it started. I warned people not to make the same mistake as Canada made with our Thanksgiving (earlier than yours) and we saw a spike because of people getting together. The timing of your increase and decrease coincides with your holidays. Thankfully the numbers are coming down. Not everything is on the back of Trump. A lot of responsibility still resides in ordinary people and State governments.
There is not anything Biden could have done getting the virus down in eight days. I do have some medical knowledge, I worked with our infectious control department in relation with the Isolation and ICU rooms in a tertiary hospital. I has no love for Trump and his political calculations made the situation worse than it could have been. But unlike Trump I believe in facts and science, and the science says Trump being gone for a week is not going to cause this drop in numbers.

This link has probably been shared but Dr. Osterholm is typically the first and last word in my play book. Great information from someone who literally wrote the book on this stuff. https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/covid-19/podcasts-webinars

They are terrible but they have dropped 10% which is better than the constant rise we were seeing. There were 110,000 people hospitalized and now there are 80,000. Hopefully the ignorant Republicans and the invincible younger generations take it seriously. We need to try and keep the new variants under control. Hope your family is well, most of the younger ones get through it fine.

I'm so done with being trapped in my home and having everything that we've worked for taken away. I'm not complying anymore.
Our 28 day lockdown that started on November 23, 2020 is now on day 78 and has been extended until Feb 22. I have zero faith that anything will change after the 22nd. We're not allowed to earn living and the measly government handouts barely cover a fraction of our expenses, yet all protected government and union positions are allowed to continue working. On Monday they opened all the schools except Toronto and Peel, yet their parents are not allowed to work and must shelter in place. How fucking ridiculous is that? Filthy little animals that always have their hands in their mouths are somehow safe yet going to work is not? Reading today that they kept the gyms open for MPPs at the provincial legislature while they shut ours down is the final straw! I'm done.
