    You are also misrepresenting the facts. And the facts are that unvaccinated people have 7 times more risks of ICU and 3.4 times higher risk of hospitalization but your earlier figures hide the facts stated.

    You’re also flipping between percentages and raw numbers when it suits you.  The raw numbers indicate that no, unvaccinated people aren’t taking up all the hospital beds.  They’re evenly split.

    Well what's the reason for the higher percentage of unvaccinated in ICU's if it isn' vaccines?

    I do t know.  What’s the reason fully vaccinated are overly represented in the ICU in Ontario.  It shouldn’t be 50/50 should it?  Shouldn’t the vast majority be unvaccinated?  Isn’t that what should be expected?

    So you are willing to admit the unvaccinated are a bunch of unfit old slobs with lots of co-morbidities.

    Complete nonsense.  A lot of unvaccinated are young healthy people.  There are some unfit slobs though.  As there are vaccinated unfit slobs.  Unfortunately if you’re an unfit slob, regardless of vaccination status, you can find yourself in the hospital.  Because that matters more than being vaccinated.

    Johns Hopkins, Worldometer

    Deaths per million population

    Florida, 2916

    Canada, 802

    Now measure destroying children’s development, education, and measure the mental health costs in depression, anxiety, suicide and drug overdoses society wide.  Also measure the destruction of people’s businesses and livelihoods.  It’s not all about trying to prevent people in their 70s and 80s from dying.

    I would not disparage Layton in favour of Ford. And yes of course he was a federali, it's not the point here.

    Excuses. Ford harmed ON health care with his pay cuts for the front line workers, while hospital executives remain secure in their opulent towers, picking their teeth and belch after a very fine lunch.

    But hey, it's not your job to come up with a solution, just to pay. Pay your taxes for them. It hardly affects you.

    Have 'nuther snifter of that brandy from that cask Amontillado!

    ;)

    You may not agree with Ford’s approach, especially with this latest lockdown.  But an NDP or Liberal government would mean longer more restrictive lockdowns, and more restrictions when not in lockdown.  I certainly don’t agree with his latest decisions.  But unfortunately, it’s either him, or somebody much worse.

    That’s an excellent interview.  Again it’s about hospitalizations and deaths, not case counts.  Having many people test positive doesn’t mean much if most of them have mild illness or are asymptomatic.  I think that unless we see a major uptick in hospitalizations, restrictions should be dropped.  These latest increased restrictions seem out of line with reality.  Watching packed NFL stadiums today where almost no one was wearing masks contrasts sharply with the weird attempts in Canada to shut everything down.  I hope people start questioning and opposing these measures.  

    Yep.  I was surprised they had her on for the interview.

    I still think the best early prediction, late March early April 2019 or so, was my own when I pointed out that America wouldn't stand a chance against COVID.  They're still in 1st or last place depending on how you look at it.

    They’re actually in first place.  They’re living with the virus and recognize that for the vast majority of people, it’s nothing more than the cold and flu.  They’re recognizing that the amount of harm that comes from shutting down all of society every few months has significant consequences especially among children.  They’re recognizing that it’s not the government’s job to protect them from covid anymore than it is to protect them from pneumonia, the flu etc.  Covid is a significant threat to the obese, elderly and sick.  And because of medical science, there are more people than ever, living longer, with serious health issues, and obesity.  That’s why 94% of all covid deaths in the United States are 65+ with on average 2.5 serious health issues, according to the CDC.

    Absolute rubbish. The risks from COVID far outweigh risks of vaccine, vaccines are well understood and no kids are being abused. 

    COVID is far more likely to trigger this condition in kids than the vaccine against it. In the extreme rare case where or if the vaccine does cause it;

     

    Yours is complete rubbish.  Hospitalization chances in children from covid is LESS than the risk of severe side effects from vaccines.  That’s documented data and science.

    To answer the OP question, Canada allows itself to be influenced by China because Stephen Harper inexplicably locked us in the position where that is a necessary economic reality for the next 25 or so years.

    I’ve already debunked this nonsense.

    1. 2. Another example of the new type of political thinking, everything is about personalities and who's more popular with whom. God forbid anybody should ever discuss an idea unless it's angertainment

    Well, there was an idea discussed before she went on with her bizarre tweets.  She’s in Florida enjoying the freedom provided to her, and the restrictionless society by the governor there.  While fleeing New York, her district, and all the restrictions she insists upon everyone else to follow.  Just more Democrat hypocrisy.  Freedom for me but not for thee.
