Desperate Times

[Braveheart]

Wow, crimes against humanity? Are you aware of the statistics, even the exaggerated test scores? Get control of yourself.

Exaggerated test scores? jWAB says it's overblown? All Covid hoaxer talk.

[burnt]

You're hiding something though. All Covid hoaxers are. I'm just not sure what yet.

Well, yes, you're onto something. We're all in this conspiracy.

Well at least I am and along with quite a few others - I hold this surreptitious, conspiratorial, not-so-secret belief that my immune system is fully capable of doing what it's designed to do.

[jazz]

Braveheart is what you get when you lock someone in their home with nothing but CNN and CBC. Totally removed from reality.

What about the BLM and Gaza protests? Our own politicians waded into those protests and took a knee. What about the liberals campaigning door to door in NFLD and compromised an entire election cycle and spiked a huge covid surge? Any comment there? Any crimes against humanity from those protests or actions? Or is it just more hypocrisy 24-7?

Roussin is some sort of hero? This is the guy who said the politicians are exempt from public health orders.

See the comment as you like, that's your prerogative. I stand by it. It borders it as lives are being lost and destroyed by the virus and the Covid hoaxer attitude is helping it prevail.

The "hugs vs masks", Church of God, open up tactics are systematic activities all against civilians. Pretty much defines crimes against humanity. Genocide doesn't need to be part of it.

Then please explain the open states/closed states - Texas/Michigan and Florida/Minnesota disparities.

Texas has just reported:

Black small square0 Covid related deaths

Black small squarefewest Covid cases in over 13 months

Black small squarelowest 7-day Covid new cases rate

Black small squarelowest Covid hospitalisations in 11 months

And guess what? Texas ended all Covid restrictions 10 weeks ago.

Whether you hang your hats on vaccinations or not, here are some interesting stats.

Yesterday, South Dakota had zero new Covid cases. The case trajectory has been flat and declining for months. Case positivity rate is around 3%.

Forty-seven percent of the population has one dose of vaccine; 41% is fully vaccinated.

The economy is for all intents and purposes fully open and has been for months.

Here in Canada we are talking about not significantly loosening restrictions until 70 to 80% of the population has at least one dose of vaccine. My sense is that once you get to the 50% level, the willingness of the population to get vaccinated declines remarkably. I personally know quite a few people who are not going to get the shot.

I fear that governments here have set an unattainable and unnecessary goal and they are hell bent on putting the economy through a blender in order to attain it.

Make sure you get a tattoo to show your vaccine commitment when you get poked.

I do not think you can expect the same outcome in any two places. So, while it is ill advised to compare, look at South Dakota stats:

According to Worldometer SD has recorded 2262 deaths/M. SK has had 448/M. So to compare, SK needs to see another 2130 deaths to have the same outcome as SD.

SD has recorded 123,911 cases while doing 476,597 tests
SK has recorded 45,490 cases while doing 840,457 tests

The stats show there is no comparison.

US vaccination rates are slowing as well. Some wont get it now that some states have reopened. Some were never planning on getting it. Travel isnt such a big deal to some people if you already live in a place with nice weather.

My entire extended family got one dose but none are rushing in for the 2nd yet. We were told it isnt needed for 4 months anyway. Other people I know got the AZ shot and wont go in for a 2nd of anything until some more information comes through.

Lets see if we make it through some of the reopening goal posts in that time.

Moe can open restaurants but he cant open the US border.

My guess is the feds want to slow walk this whole thing so Justin can get his mail in election this fall. Never waste a crisis.

"The health care system is stretched to max, that is the concern."

Yes, because socialized medical systems have no sensible way to handle that. Increased demand just means stretched budgets. Without a price system, there's no way to know how to garner resources to handle the bulge.

For comparison purposes, the allegedly sinful for-profit (well, more for-profit than ours) medical system in a place like Alabama has 3.9 ICU beds per 10,000 people. Manitoba had 81 total ICU beds at the beginning of the pandemic, for 1.27 million people. Rate works out to 0.63 ICU beds per 10,000.

Covid is a clear signal that Medicare is in terminal decline. Provincial health care budgets will never, and I repeat never, recover from this blow.

AE: Are you in fact saying public funded health care is not funded enough? After all, the privately funded system in the US is the most expensive health care system in the world. Per person health care costs are US$3000.00 per person more annually than anywhere else in the world. Healthcare spending in Canada per person is about 1/2 of the US spend per person We could have more ICU beds too if taxes were raised to an equivalent amount as what US citizens pay in individual health care premiums

And by what criteria are you justifying the private system is better? Just by number of hospital/ICU beds? The US has the lowest life expectancy and highest suicide rate of the 11 OECD nations. Its obesity rate is 2 times higher than the OECD rate. It chronic disease rate is much higher than other countries. And the US tops the world in Covid deaths. The Bloomberg Health index rating ranks the US and its private system as 35th in the world whereas Canada ranks 16th and in fact all 34 countries that rank ahead of the US private health care system have universal health care systems.

Ahaha. Better profiling needed. Don't watch CBC, CNN or much of TV except for Yellowstone, Handmaids Tale, Seal Team and classic western movies. Too much fake news on MSM (like the websites you Covid Hoaxers are hooked on).

Roussin is not my hero. But, he has the power. Whatever Hoaxer paradigm is clouding your judgement prevents you from seeing it's Health not Politics.

Someday history will look back and attribute the longer than needed restrictions on the Covid Hoaxers and vaccine Hesitators. Shameful.

The only ones getting desperate are the globullists trying to bribe and threaten people to take the jab. Bribes range from free burger and fries, entry into million dollar lotteries, scholarships, and even reducing inmates sentences by half. They also threaten us with our freedom. Last time I checked keeping people hostage and using extortion is a crime.

Now that the vacksheen rollout is losing traction, expect the next atTak, likely CyBuR. Then they will come to our 'rescue' again.

[TSIPP]

The more you pro experiment shot guys talk the more there is no way I’m rolling up my sleeve, and you guys think we are brainwashed and wearing tinfoil hats.

As far as I Know The government isn’t keeping up with the demand for the vaccine, and we are the ones that are shameful? I didn’t give any one Covid, I did my part!!!
