COVID-19 in Sask.: Saskatchewan overtakes Alberta as province with worst rate of infection

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatchewan/covid-19-in-sask-1.6168339

For the second day in a row, more people were diagnosed with COVID-19 than received a vaccination.

Saskatchewan reported 405 new cases of COVID-19 on Wednesday, two more deaths, and 27 more people in hospital, bringing the total to 181 patients.

Thirty-two of those people are in intensive care.

There have not been this many people hospitalized since April 29, during the peak of the third wave.

While case numbers skyrocket, only 393 more vaccines were administered on Tuesday.

On Tuesday there were 305 new cases and just 294 vaccines given.

So Saskatchewan is now a leader in something.

So when are Moe and his Merriman going to start paying attention and do something meaningful to reduce the impact of the 4th wave?

Are they going to wait for hospitals to run out of room and then decide that they should do something?

There are alot of people waiting for timely healthcare because Moe and his Merriman seem hellbent on letting the 4th wave of covid push us back into more restrictions and loss of life from causes other than covid, because the healthcare system can't deal with a large surge of unvaccinated individuals ending up in hospitals.

Former head of Sask. vaccine lab questions absence of chief medical health officer

The former head of the province's chief vaccine research lab is questioning what it would take for Saskatchewan's chief medical health officer to step down.

On Sunday, Andy Potter, former CEO of the Vaccine and Infectious Disease Organization-International Vaccine Centre (VIDO-InterVac), wrote a Twitter post asking questions about whether the provincial government is ignoring advice from Dr. Saqib Shahab and, if that was true, how long he intends to stay in the position.

"If one assumes that Dr Shahab has been providing valid medical advice to the Government and they have not acted on it, at what stage does integrity kick in and he resigns?" read the post.

"How many hospitalizations/deaths does it take? Serious question."

In an interview with CBC Radio's Saskatoon Morning, Potter said he was spurred to write the post after a letter was sent out by medical health officers in the province last week.

Among other requests, the health officers asked the Ministry of Health to implement mandatory vaccinations for all health-care workers and people wanting to enter non-essential businesses, as well as enforced masking in indoor spaces.

"There's been no public response to what was a very public letter," said Potter, who is currently a senior industrial research chair in vaccine development at the University of Saskatchewan.

"I think that one has to question whether Dr. Shahab agrees with the contents. If not, why not? And if so, why have there been no measures implemented?"

Potter says he's very concerned with the province's direction when it comes to COVID-19. On Tuesday, the province reported its seven-day average of new cases had reached 350 per day.

Potter says he is not suggesting that Shahab resign but is questioning the province's COVID-19 strategy and is concerned about current trends.

He said the provincial government needs to have a better immunization strategy, focusing on groups who still haven't been vaccinated.

Potter said there also needs to be much more testing done in the province as well as contact tracing. He pointed to Singapore, which sent COVID testing kits to every household in the country.

Ultimately, he said, Shahab needs to do a better job of showing a plan to people in Saskatchewan.

"Communication is key to leadership," he said.

"I think we need to see a little bit more communication coming out and not a press conference that's done grudgingly when people start complaining."

Only 294 vaccinations were given Monday. That's the lowest number since the province began offering vaccinations widely.

About 87 per cent of the new cases were in people who had not been fully vaccinate

Did Moe send you all the ear plug come masks?

No surprise there. Its obvious many of you stopped listening a long time ago.

When you start suggesting ivermectin is a treatment for the covid virus and vaccines don't work, its pretty obvious that it doesn't matter whether you listen or not. LOL

If the pandemic has demonstrated anything, it is that socialized medicine is in a state of collapse. Centrally planned systems are incapable of dealing with surges in demand, period.

The mass vaccination program is also in a stage of terminal failure. It was supposed to allow Canadians to return to a normal existence; there is nothing normal about the dystopian nightmare we are living in.

If anyone thought it was tough to get 70 or 80% of the population vaccinated twice, just consider what's going to happen when you order people to get a third, forth or fifth shot within a matter of months. Making it a condition of keeping your job is simply an admission of moral failure.

Historically, this is like the Vietnam era in America. It is 1967 and divisions over the conduct of the war are starting to get starker and protest is growing. The disintegration of the mass vaccination program will be the equivalent of the Tet Offensive.

The vaccines arent working wheel. They never did. Their effect was fleeting at best, 6 months of semi protection. Thats clear as day now.

Forcibly vaccinating to 100% with 100 of the same boosters wont change that and will only make it worse. The variants have been created by the very science that was supposed to stop the original strain. Now dozens of them are on the loose and we have nothing to counter them.

You will soon be joining the ranks of unvaxxed in a couple months.
