Has the advent of the vaccines relaxed us enough to contribute to the second, and possibly third waves of infections?
The Brits have succeeded in jabbing the largest percentage of their citizens according to the media. How are they doing? Do they have Covid 19 on the ropes yet?
Their numbers ought to be a good measuring stick on what's going to happen here if our salvation army ever gets our act together.
So there's a new bureaucracy in Ottawa dedicated to stopping our planet's natural functions. It's called Climate Change Canada.
Wow! Wonder how they plan to do that? It has always been understood that if the weather changes, we adapt. Same goes for climate.
Over millions of years the planet endured ongoing climate change. The dinosaurs endured climate change until an oversized boulder from space relieved them of that responsibility.
Maybe our climatologists on Parliament Hill should take the time to check with the people who specialize in planetary dynamics to see if there is such a thing as a natural mechanism to keep the climate exactly the same all the time.
And if there isn't, why are they making an issue and an expensive bureaucracy out of it?
Very refreshing to see a rational attitude re: the pandemic from a government official.
Earlier in the week, Ontario Premier Doug Ford somewhat reduced the panic and offered a bit of sage advice to Ontarians along with some easment of the lockdowns.
Ford said he understood the growing frustration and he trusts people will take responsibility for their own behaviour during the period of eased regulations.
That's good advice.
Local hooligans appear to have taken to picking on Canadians of Chinese origin lately, possibly looking for someone to blame for the pandemic..
Not a nice thing to do. If they looked, they should have noticed oriental faces absent from the rioting mobs both in Canada and the US.
They appear to be somewhere else, probably going to school or doing something useful.
One of the surgeons working on the skin problem over my left cheek last week asked if I'd had my Covid shot yet.
When I said not yet, he asked why not. I told him I thought they're prioritizing it all wrong.
"It should be people who have a stretch of years to live yet, not old guys like me."
He disagreed. Said he'd hate to be the one making decisions like that.
Think he's serious, or just trying to be nice?.
making decisions like that.
Have the Premier and the MHO given up their salaries before making such decisions? That would even the score with citizens who have lost their livelihood due to the lockdown.
Some of these protesters may be looking for money to buy food. The banks are no help. No security, no loan. Only option is to deal with the paycheck mafia who offer interest rates as high as 47 percent.
It may be time to gamble. Bet some lives in long-term care against the health and well-being of all Canadians.
Time to make the tough decisions?
How many of those deaths attributed to Covid in the news were seniors in long-term care? How many adults? How many children?
How many of those seniors died of causes other than the virus? Without such info, it is easy for us to conclude that all deaths in long-term care are being attributed to the virus.
That idea is ridiculous. Long-term care is where people go to die when the time comes. Until we get accurate accounting in the news, it is easy to suspect that we're being fed propaganda.
