Unlike the BLM protests of 2020 the Canadian truckers are not rioting.

Russia is not hiding under your bed waiting for you to go to sleep either.

The qanon branch is lead by Romana Didulo.
She is a pretty successful grifter, or schizophrenic. Or both.

As I said, qanon is still alive, and enough people really do believe in batshit

They're not, but some parts of the truckers are already causing disturbances in Ottawa.

Liberal MP Joel Lightbound (representing Louis-Hébert, Quebec) is criticizing his own party over what's happening in Canada, especially with the restrictions.

He hopes that such a roadmap can help bridge the division.

just to tell you the level of failure of our education system. I have one girl at work who refused to take the vaxx. She managed to convince herself that as long as she smokes, she cant get covid. All because that one time she did, she had stopped smoking for a time. So she resumed smoking and still refused to take Bill Gates' Evil Biochip. Now she got the cov again. Now, I am tempted to mock her for buying into that retarded belief of hers.

What's most like going to happen is if she needs to be hospitalized she will reject antivirals and ask for ivermectin instead.
And she probably believes hospitals intentionally puncture unvaccinated patient lungs to kill them

Tell her that suicide is a mortal sin.
And dying from COPD is pretty close to dying from COVID19
You drown on dry land.

Some people are so crazy nowadays. Science is the new religion and people worships a product the doesn't do a whole lot. I didn't think I would live to see justified discrimination (on vax status).

If you work at a hospital, you'll know why.

It's just a flu -> I will be okay -> I will not be okay -> LORD JESUS HELP -> ...

Sometimes Americans forget that nearly half of them (40%) are obese and have hypertension problems.

Allow me to disagree. Science lacks a position of leadership, scientists are not leaders, they simply follow the truth, wherever it goes, just like the stock market follows the money. So yeah, it might fluctuate because human aren't perfect and they need to make constant adjustments to look for the truth.

The position of leadership religion used to have was taken by the printed press, then radio, then television and nowadays social media takes it's place.

But don't worry, I am not here to try to take away your religion, I know you can't live without it, even though the day might came you wont be able to continue living because of it.

People are using science for their own agenda and eventhough things don't make sense somehow there is still a cult that blindly follows it. It's the behaviors of the people that make it a religion.

The vax doesn't stop transmission nor infection. It may or may not prevent hospitalization and death. There is a chance of side effects. I don't discriminate. I see covid and vax in the same light. Currently there are 3 gambles with risks One, choose to vax and take risk with death/side effects from vax. Two, chose not to vax and take risk with side effects/death from covid. Three, go to the ER for any reason and becomes a covid statistic.

I don't work in hospital but I care for the elderly. I've been to numerous specialists and heard their contradicting assessments. I've been to the ER no less than 10x for family and witnessed incompetence that almost killed a family member after he was admitted for a knee infection. This was before the pandemic.
I wouldn't be surprise if most deaths during the pandemic aren't/weren't from covid.

As BA.2 subvariant of Omicron rises, lab studies point to signs of severity

he BA.2 virus -- a subvariant of the Omicron coronavirus variant -- isn't just spreading faster than its distant cousin, it may also cause more severe disease and appears capable of thwarting some of the key weapons we have against Covid-19, new research suggests.

Or maybe you're just not good with the quantitative aspect of things...

I won't go on the rest of your post but thsi part is wrong, it is know than the pandemic did kill more that the Covid-dead, sicks patient did dieds because of lack of care as covid patients did take priority. The thing is thoses death aren't compilated anywhere, partly as thoses are hard to determinate.

Typical anti-vax conspiracy bullshit. Let’s not beat around the bush.

[MeoTwister5]

Caretakers in elderly homes also have some of the highest anti-vaxx sentiments among so called health care workers. You don't need as much medical education to work in one comparatively. Go figure.

People do selectivily use "science" for their agenda though, be it having docters sell cigarettes or biological men competing in biological women's sports.

Corrected if for you. Science itself is neither good or bad, just like a kitchen knife, it can do either good or bad depending on the person (or organization or government) wielding it. Even whether science does good or bad depends on the opinion of human beings.

A highly changed coronavirus variant was found in deer after nearly a year in hiding, researchers suggest

https://us.cnn.com/2022/03/02/health...eer/index.html

An Omicron-like variant of the virus that causes Covid-19 -- one that appears to be highly divergent from circulating strains and sticks out on a long branch of the virus' family tree -- has been discovered in a population of white-tailed deer in Ontario, Canada, according to a new study.

[Renegade334]

Belgium is going back to status code yellow (yellow: less than 65 people hospitalized per day) and that means a few changes...

- No more masks unless inside hospitals, public transports or workplaces/locations where close contact (<=1.5m) is unavoidable.
- Retirement of the Covid Safe Ticket (vaccination certificate required for prolonged presence in cafés/restaurants/diners).
- No more masks for high school students.
- No more crowd limits for indoors events (right now, it's max. 200 people) such as conferences, Mass, parties.
- Remote working no longer mandatory.
- Pandemic law will end on March 7th.


Normally I'd be breathing a sigh of relief about this, but every time the country tried to give some slack on the confinement, covid numbers would shoot back up. I'm hoping this time there won't be another surge caused by non-vaxxed flooding the city like tourists partying in Ibiza during summer and contaminating one another. We're still status code orange (between 65 and 149 people hospitalized per day) and decreasing, but I'm still wary of the "after me, the flood" mentality adopted by a big part of the population.

Worked last night and we have ZERO "positive" COVID patients in the hospital. It just seemed like a normal, typical night shift like pre-covid days and overall patient census has been low. It was kind of nice. Still feels awkward for me to not wear mask when I go to places.
