CBC is funded by tax payer donations and we dont get a choice if we want to donate or not ,

and i sure hope that article is not true

Since when should actual news need to try and attract donations to promote certain opinions?.that just makes it so the site aims confirmation bias material to get .money from a certain segment of society.

And the worst thing is the CBC now simply a paid government puppet to the liberals propaganda.
So your only 1/2 right

[furrowtickler]

So if they try full covid lockdowns again shortly , regardless of news source, they still wrong ?
Time will tell ……
Interesting times , not saying the news source is even remotely right btw . Could be just a bunch of b/s , but again time will tell
They are squawking about some new strain already , Fouchi must still have his GOF going full bore .

Any so called news site that has a check out cart or asking for donations are just full of attention catchers to get the suckers money.

The propaganda is free newguy, the real news isnt.

Jones has an uncanny record of being right and way ahead of the curve.

Seriously get a bucket of ice and pour it over your head, maybe that will help. Within mere hours of that story from Infowars, the MSM covid rhetoric got cranked up to 10 again and circulating in the background are new boosters that will apparently handle the new variant so get yours today. Isnt that convenient.

Are you going to fall for the psyop again.

I don't think they will get any more than they got on the last few boosters , at most.

I know a couple that were getting the boosters as quick as they came out. They were the last people I know that had Covid.

All kinds of people on blood thinners now. Probably the #1 prescription now.

My wife has a saying. Free cheese is in the mousetrap.
Or as Tweety often tells us, if something is free, then you are the product.
These CWB folks are really upset that the news could be democratized. Of course, the government should have a monopoly on information.

I’d like to see them try another lock-down.

To Defeat New Variant, Experts Recommend Doing All The Things That Didn't Work The First Time

U.S. - To defeat the massive, scary, definitely world-ending wave of COVID being driven by the delta variant of the deadly, frightening disease you should remain afraid of for the rest of your life, experts are recommending we try all the things that didn't work the first time.

From wearing masks and social distancing to locking everyone down and destroying the economy, experts are all suggesting that we just try the same things we did last time that didn't work at all.

"We are going to lock down, wear masks, and social distance, all of which didn't work, but hey. It's worth trying again," said Dr. Anthony Fauci in a television interview this morning. "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. That's what they taught us in science school. Look at my lab coat. It's white. Do you like it? It has pockets."

The television anchor then assured Dr. Fauci that his pockets were very nice.

"Thanks. I also have the heartbeat thingy. I like to breathe on it to warm it up. Makes me look official and doctory and whatnot."

At publishing time, experts had clarified that while we're going to be doing the same things that didn't work over and over again, we're going to be doing them harder this time.

COVID-19 hospitalizations jump nearly 20% year-over-year, ICU and ER visits down, data show

Across the country, hospital emergency departments and intensive care units have seen a decline in COVID-19 patients compared with a year ago, but the number of people admitted to hospital because of the virus has increased nearly 20 per cent, according to new data from the Canadian Institute for Health Information.

The latest data, released on Wednesday, show there were more than 120,000 hospital stays among patients diagnosed with COVID-19 between April, 2022 and March, 2023, up 19 per cent from 101,000 during the same period from 2021 to 2022. The average total length of stay in hospital for these patients rose to 20 days from 13.

“The increase in hospitalization in the most recent fiscal year, I think, is sort of telling us that COVID-19 is still here and it’s still having an impact on hospitals in Canada,” said Nicole Loreti, the program lead for clinical administrative databases at CIHI.

She pointed out that older adults have been affected most. Those 65 and older made up the largest increase in hospitalizations. The median age of hospitalized COVID-19 patients was also older at 75, compared with 63 in the 2021 to 2022 reporting period.

These figures do not include data from Quebec. For about 90 per cent of patients captured in the data, COVID-19 was a cause of their hospital visit, either as their main diagnosis or contributing to the care they required, Ms. Loreti said.

Last winter, COVID-19 cases were overshadowed by the return of influenza and a surge in respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV, that overwhelmed children’s hospitals across the country. CIHI’s data show the volumes of emergency department visits and intensive care admissions for COVID-19 did, in fact, retreat in the 2022 to 2023 reporting period.

CIHI recorded more than 222,000 emergency department visits for COVID-19, down from 262,000 the previous year. However, many of these visits took longer. Ninety per cent of emergency department visits were completed within 25 hours, up from 15 hours the year before.

A summer spike reminds us the pandemic isn’t over

Intensive care unit, or ICU, volumes declined to 16,000 from 21,000. ICU admissions accounted for 13 per cent of the overall hospital stays, and of those patients who required intensive care, 39 per cent received ventilation and 23 per cent died in hospital, CIHI said.

Ms. Loreti said CIHI did not examine the reasons for these patterns, but she explained the data could be driven by a number of different factors, including the loosening of public-health measures, the resumption of prepandemic activities and the uptake of vaccine boosters.

By mid-2022, public-health measures, such as requirements for masking, proof of vaccination and testing, were lifted in most settings across the country. And most Canadians had received their primary series of COVID-19 vaccines.

After a dip in activity earlier this summer, the latest available federal data show a recent uptick in COVID-19 hospitalizations. Between Aug. 9 and Aug. 15, the number of COVID-19 patients in hospital increased to 1,723 from 1,546 the week prior. The number in intensive care edged up to 52 from 48 the previous week.
