I hope you ironically misspelled brain. You also don't live in a Hotspot, AFAIK. DoFo said 80% of the cases are coming from 20% of Province. A majority of my family and friends live in Hot Spots. I'm kind of avoiding them like the "literal" plague right now. -
There have been outbreaks at Grocery stores. You don't have stats and nor do I to defend if they're safe or not. I think it depends on where the Grocery Store is located TBH. This is way more a socio-economic crisis.
-
Those aren't the people we're talking about. We're talking about people who have been working the entire pandemic and who can't go home and get paid if they're sick.
-
I actually don't think so anymore. Obviously that's always been an issue. But we are seeing lots of spread at workplaces now. And the infected people go home and infect their families. The demographics of these regions indicate that they live in multi-generational homes.
-
And the absence of it is the #1 reason for the virus spread we're seeing right now. If you're an hourly worker that only gets paid when they clock in, getting COVID-19 could mean the difference between paying bills or not. These are the people that can't go on CERB either. They work in an "essential" job. Any workplace has a screen process for when workers should and shouldn't come to work. But it's self policing. We've created an environment where you have to get COVID-19 tested if you have a Cold. So yeah you'd have to get tested, and you should be compensated for it if you can't come to work because of it. If you're afraid of "fraud" you can ensure they share their COVID-19 test regardless of the result.

I think people have to be willfully ignorant of the demographics of Ontario to know where the HotSpots are. We don't need Postal Codes to imagine where these places are. GOOD NEWS! Tomorrow people 40+ can get Astrazenca. Being 40+ I'll try to get one. If only to not have to worry about seeing family and friends anymore.

The only nations of any size or influence that have higher rates of vaccinations than Canada is Chile, the UK and the UK. If you discount people 16+ who won't be eligible for the vaccine, Canada's 1st dose vaccination is almost 30%.

16+ includes some minors/children and adults too. Ontario just opened up vaccinations for 40+, not 16+...because there are not enough vaccines available in Canada.

Yes but Health Canada has not approved any vaccine for people 18+.
So people 18+ aren't getting it because it's not approved for them. Not because there isn't supply. So when considering vaccination rate of those eligible would be a more accurate metric.
Sort of like when Biden said he wants all people 18+ to be able to book a vaccine if they want it.
-
Provinces decide what ages to vaccinate based on approved vaccines...Canada just doesn't have enough doses...even going so far as to stagger 2nd doses way beyond the manufacturers tested/approved interval. Playing games with numbers will not change Canada's situation and vaccine shortage.

No matter how dire the ICU situation is in Ontario, making workers wait until 3pm on Friday afternoon to know if they can work next week is Bush League. Shame on Doug Ford and the Clown show he's running right now.

I think many people are simply ignoring the stay at home order. In fact it should be mandatory to go outdoors and get fresh air daily.
-
It should be. You can also Social Distance outdoors though.
-
They're expecting something about restrictions on curb-side pickup now as well. Probably because too many people are waiting in lines outside to get in.

The vaccine number are available here. https://data.ontario.ca/dataset/covid-19-vaccine-data-in-ontario/resource/8a89caa9-511c-4568-af89-7f2174b4378c They have the supply to vaccinate at the current rate for the rest of the week even with no more additional vaccines. At the current rate you can vaccinate (first dose) at 3 mil or so per month. That gets us at a pretty good benchmark by June. But the doses need to keep coming. You'd hope J&J can be introduced in May. DoFo has said they have the capacity for 150,000 a day but you don't want to just burn through that and not have any to fulfill appointments. You really should be planning a week ahead when allotting appointments.
-
The vaccination numbers are public knowledge. 100,000 vaccinations a day. Everyone 60+ can book an appointment across the province. 50+ in Hot spots and there are opportunities for people 18+ who are especially at risk to be vaccinated early.
-
But the numbers are made public. Which is how the CBC was able to discover that certain areas were being considered Hotspots that shouldn't and vice versa.
-
It would definitely be Shameful if Dofo decided not to give priority to areas because they're politically useless to him. Ultimately stemming the spread is politically useful to him everywhere. The saturation in hot spots is effecting the lives of everyone in Ontario.

There's a very predictable Conservative narrative for Biden regarding Taiwan. He's a Warmonger if he stands up to China, he's in their pocket if he doesn't stand up for Democracy in Taiwan.

Except when the Lefties stand up to China. Then they're warmongers.
If China invades Taiwan, what do we do?
-
Hey didnt Mr Trudeau recently put his finger up Taiwan presidents ass? He screwed their president, who is a woman, out of an award for her outstanding work.
“Canadian officials, upon learning of the decision, made it clear the Canadian government would pull its support if organizers gave the honour to Tsai, Politico reported.”

There is your answer. I know, sad...
-
When has the Left stood up against Red China again?
-
For some reason, the last two days have been less than 100,000. Moderna delayed their shipment this week. Though they claim they have capacity for 150,000.
-
A few? It's the most populated part of Canada. It's also got some of the most disadvantaged people who are way more likely to get COVID-19 and have a negative outcome.

Is 6 cases of blood clots in 7 million vaccines given really an excessive risk? (RE: J&J vaccine)

I just watched a great interview with a doctor on Tucker Carlson. He said the issue is giving the vaccine to people that have been previously infected and already have produced antibodies. He said those people shouldn’t be vaccinated because it can cause an autoimmune response that can lead to blood clots.
-
Trump got vaccinated after being infected.
I don't think there's conclusive evidence that previous infection produces immunity.
The theory is sound though. As Argus says, there are plenty of common drugs that can cause blood clots. I guess the difference with the vaccine is that you're strongly being encouraged, if not forced, to take it to try and get life back to some sense of normal.
-
Regardless it’s still extremely rare.
-
Note that the goal of vaccination is less to reduce spread but to reduce severe sickness. So even if someone gets COVID-19, it will keep them out of the hospital. We'll be dealing with Mask Wearing in public places for at least the rest of the year, I reckon.
-
Cite? People who are getting vaccinated now are getting appointments for July. This will be going on until September. I just hope enough people have enough protection to ensure severe illness is minimized.
-
I'm sure those taxpayers would prefer to be done away with these Provincewide lockdowns. These areas are what's driving these lockdowns. Hospitals in Peel and Toronto reaching capacity and flying patients out to other regions. And because they had effectively been locked down since November, people are also leaving these regions and going to other regions. I suspect, had emphasis been put to distributing vaccines in these areas earlier in the winter, we wouldn't be experiencing such a widespread shutdown.
-
100% it can be justified. Unlike in the early days of the pandemic where people in LTC homes and the elderly were bearing the human cost of COVID-19, now it's younger people who work essential front line jobs. People that live in multi-generational homes in densely urban and suburban areas of the province. Those are the people that need the vaccine and not 60+ retirees in rural Ontario. The drop in death rate is an indicator that people who were dying in the early days of the virus are no longer dying. The increase in ICU admissions is an indication that more young people are getting much sicker with the proliferation of these variants.
-
It's the most important factor. The Provinces ICU capacity is being effected by the proportion of people getting sick in these areas.
-
Anecdotally, I have not heard that. Perhaps in more rural areas. But if you're over 50 in the Hot Spots, you could get a vaccine this week.
-
I don't know anyone over 60 that hasn't had the vaccine made available to them. My parents and inlaws all got their first dose. They all live in a Hotspot though. The cruel irony is that these Hotspots will need to get the vaccine first. The plan is to open it up to people 18+. Not sure if that's exactly possible yet. And then you have people in areas that have a more manageable spread get their entire economies shutdown AND put to the back of the vaccine line. Double Edge sword of resentment.

Matt Gaetz has been denied a meeting with Trump. Not like Trump has anything better to do
