Saskatchewan overtakes Alberta as province with worst rate of infection

[jazz]

Well if you wouldn’t resist and maybe quit whining and do
Your part maybe it would work or at least work better
But people fuuk around them they say gee it’s not working
How out to lunch is that?

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.

Seriously chuck WTF Is wrong with you ?
Did Someone in Sask Party have his way with someone near and dear to you ?
Your hatred is not healthy
You need help

Same old drivel as the comeback. Can't recognize themselves in their own words.

Check out the latest US presidential mandate. Its a fore runner as to what will have to apply to the same situation that is loose in Western Canada. Despite what deceit is spewed and how many come to believe it.

Interesting that Vax helps, but is not the answer; Covid19 is a beast that will not go away...

From Reuters; The Delta variant produces more Covid19 in the noses of both vaxed and unvaxed...[people infected with Delta carry 1,260 times more virus in their noses compared with the original version of the coronavirus. Some U.S. research suggests that the viral load in vaccinated individuals who become infected with Delta is on par with those who are unvaccinated,...]

This is no laughing matter; to say the least...

"DELTA - STILL DOMINANT

The Delta variant first detected in India remains the most worrisome. It is striking unvaccinated populations in many countries and has proven capable of infecting a higher proportion of vaccinated people than its predecessors.

The WHO classifies Delta as a variant of concern, meaning it has been shown capable of increasing transmissibility, causing more severe disease or reducing the benefit of vaccines and treatments.

According to Shane Crotty, a virologist at the La Jolla Institute for Immunology in San Diego, Delta's "superpower" is its transmissibility. Chinese researchers found that people infected with Delta carry 1,260 times more virus in their noses compared with the original version of the coronavirus. Some U.S. research suggests that the viral load in vaccinated individuals who become infected with Delta is on par with those who are unvaccinated, but more research is needed.

While the original coronavirus took up to seven days to cause symptoms, Delta can cause symptoms two to three days faster, giving the immune system less time to respond and mount a defense.

LAMBDA – ON THE WANE

The Lambda variant had attracted attention as a potential new threat, but this version of the coronavirus, first identified in Peru in December, appears to be receding.

Although cases involving Lambda were rising in July, reports of this variant have been falling globally for the past four weeks, according to data by GISAID, a database that tracks SARS-CoV-2 variants.

The WHO classifies Lambda as a variant of interest, meaning it carries mutations suspected of causing a change in transmissibility or causing more severe disease, but it is still under investigation. Lab studies show it has mutations that resist vaccine-induced antibodies.

It is going to be a looming loooooong Winter!!!!!

Be safe and please wear a mask!!!

MU - ONE TO WATCH

Mu, the variant formerly known as B.1.621, was first identified in Colombia in January. On Aug. 30, the WHO designated it as a variant of interest due to several concerning mutations, and assigned a Greek letter name to it.

Mu carries key mutations, including E484K, N501Y and D614G, that have been linked with increased transmissibility and reduced immune protection.

According to the WHO's Bulletin published last week, Mu has caused some larger outbreaks in South America and Europe. While the number of genetic sequences identified as Mu have fallen below 0.1% globally, Mu represents 39% of variants sequenced in Colombia and 13% in Ecuador, places where its prevalence has "consistently increased," WHO reported.

The global health agency said it continues to monitor Mu for changes in South America, especially in areas where it is co-circulating with the Delta variant. Maria van Kerkhove, head of WHO's emerging diseases unit, said circulation of the variant is decreasing globally but needs to be observed closely. In a press briefing last week, White House chief medical advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci said U.S. officials are watching it, but so far Mu is not considered an immediate threat.

MORE ON THE WAY?

Getting more people vaccinated against COVID-19 is critical as large groups of unvaccinated people give the virus more opportunity to spread and mutate into new variants.

That effort must be stepped up internationally to keep variants from emerging unchecked among the populations of poor nations where very few people have been inoculated, experts say.

Even so, while the current vaccines prevent severe disease and death, they do not block infection. The virus is still capable of replicating in the nose, even among vaccinated people, who can then transmit the disease through tiny, aerosolized droplets.

To defeat SARS-CoV-2 will likely require a new generation of vaccines that also block transmission, according to Dr. Gregory Poland, a vaccine developer at the Mayo Clinic. Until then, Poland and other experts say, the world remains vulnerable to the rise of new coronavirus variants.

So what they appear to be saying is that the Chinese weaponized this one very well.

With Fauci's help.

Makes you wonder what other surprises they've got in their bag of tricks.

Good sask is leading. I for one am sick of Covid.

From a medial person in our family, you got the vaccine your protected you can still get it but it won't kill if you if your overweight by a lot, sick, close to death unhealthy you might die also but you probably were close to dying anyway.

For the healthy, it might make you a bit sick but with the vaccine you are protected.

The ones without can die and some will that's the life you choose to not hoping your body can fight it good for you your body might and then your ok. Most can't so it's a matter of time before they are in hospital and if they have one of the above we dig a hole and call it a day.

You wanted the truth it's easy. The vaccine helps but if you are sick it can take you. A cold can take you if you are sick why do you think you are not allowed to see a terminally ill patient if you are sick because you may pass it on to them and they can't fight it and will die.

It's your right to take the jab or not just realize if you are a bit unhealthy and you get it you might not make it.

Rather simple isn't it.

Were not closing down again to save the 30% that are smarter than science.

I hate numbnuts
But I don’t start 2 threads a day about it
It doesn’t take over my life

[chuckChuck]

Sorry sask, you think the short term science is right on Covid, I’m surprised. In fact science has tried to create this vaccine for 20+ years and failed. Just because your wife is in the medical profession doesn’t make you an expert.

The arrogance of man is its greatest downfall.

In your case, along with your band of antivaxers, its stupidity and arrogance!

Well unfortunately we are not all as smart as Mensa chuck

Would be interesting to poll how many years of secondary education you and your siblings have.Just thinking there may be a pattern emerge.I remember my college instructor talking about new seed varieties and how farmers should accept the science and test gone into producing them because if they did not have some kind of advantage they would not get registered.Sometimes education may not make you smarter but help you accept technology and science.
