Numbers don't look so bad when you consider it on a National scale. But when you realize that a vast majority of the cases are coming from Mouth-breathing southern states with vaccination rates in the 30% range. 

You can see why it's an issue. 

Florida is breaking Hospitalization records.

Boges calls noticing the tens - soon to be hundreds - of thousands of untested boarder jumpers from around the world storming in through America's southern border "xenophobia." Others think it's just noticing the obvious.

Progressive media and covid hysterics concentrating on Florida like the CBC did in the article Boges posted is also obvious. Here's why:

Quote

DeSantis is running for re-election next year while eyeing a 2024 presidential bid. A central tenet of his national image among conservatives is his refusal to impose mask mandates at schools and in public or to impose restrictions on businesses. He hit that message again Tuesday, saying he will not budge.

"We are not shutting down," DeSantis said. "We are going to have schools open. We are protecting every Floridian's job in this state. We are protecting people's small businesses. These interventions have failed time and time again throughout this pandemic, not just in the United States but abroad. They have not stopped the spread, particularly with delta."

They don't tell you that Florida is one of, the most  affected by the Biden regime's open border policies. Note, the new Biden order isn't just letting the untested, unmasked through, they're putting them on planes and buses then shipping them around the states where their votes will be needed. Florida is one of the most popular destinations. 

Also the illegals are jammed into tight expanses throughout their journey. Those are super-spreader situations. 

And if say a sudden surge of those infected coming in from Haiti, West Africa, Honduras etc. turns up on a chart you can bet Boges or the CBC will be telling you about it. They just won't be telling you who they are.

And they love to tell you stories of sudden infection numbers or how some Prog doctor they found sees patients being packed in the hallway but they won't show you none-scary graphs like active cases in Florida.

Are these charts sufficiently scary?

The most daily deaths since March. 

There was a Canadian study recently that said most people that died of covid were highly likely to have died sometime that year regardless of covid.

You mean your True North study analyzing stats from 2020?

Again, it doesn't take into account variants and the worst case counts seen during the pandemic this Spring

Because younger people were getting sick, the death-rate was less, but it didn't mean Hospitalization wasn't skyrocketing. 

This is why lockdown measures were required! You didn't do anything to stem the infection death rates would have skyrocketed. Hospitals would have had to triage people and unplug those they thought may not survive. 

Like seen in the US in the winter, before they got the vaccine. 

Lockdowns were a preventative measure, and they worked. 

Another reason death in Canada was less than a country like the US, was because public safety measures stayed in place for most of the pandemic. 

And they still are in place. 

The US lowered their guard before reaching a good vaccination rate and now there are parts of the US back to where they started. 

Canadians will welcome vaccinated Americans to the US on August 9th. A boon to Canada's economy. 

II suspect the issue for the US is Mexico, not Canada. But they don't want to say so because Hispanics are an important voting block for Democrats.

Well so are Border town communities in states like Michigan, New York, Maine, Wisconsin etc etc etc. 

This can't be met well for their tourism industries. 

Why wouldn't you believe it ?   So little confidence in Trudeau/Canada ?

Too much confidence in the US, it has been swimming in vaccines since the new year and still can't get its act together

Canada has yet to produce an approved covid vaccine.

And you still don't get that Hospitalizations are a lag indicator of case counts. 

See what's happening in Missouri right now. 

Regardless, I thought COVID-19 was done in the US? Doesn't seem so. 

Hospitalizations won’t be as much of a lagging indicator as before vaccinations.  Florida is almost 50% fully vaccinated.  Regardless, vaccines are widely available.  Anybody that wants one can get one.  It’s not up to other people to shut down their lives to protect people.  And Florida has been open for months, so we’re at least 3 months behind them.  Our numbers will go up in the fall.

By the fall, Canada will be 80% fully vaccinated, the US seems stuck at 50%.

It's a good thing you make public health policy Dr. Shady. 

I speak the truth.  Even you deep down inside agree.  The decision of unvaccinated people shouldn’t impede the lives of the vaccinated.

I totally agree. But that's just not healthcare works. 

The problem we're going to see is that variants will keep popping up the more people treat the virus like they have in the US. 

Eventually the vaccine will lose its effectiveness. Which is why we get Flu Shots every year.
