The link you provided specifically says COVID cases. Stop making shit up.

It shows more unvaccinated in ICU's. Considering that there are more unvaccinated in ICU's and the unvaccinated represent less than 15% of the population, that is a pretty damming statistic.

Most Canadians live in cities, you can't include millions of square miles of frozen tundra with a few thousand people.

Johns Hopkins, Worldometer Deaths per million population Florida, 2916 Canada, 802

Had a couple of world wars. Had rationing and all sorts of other consumables not available because of them. No private motor vehicles were built 1943 and 1944 in the US and longer than that in Canada as industry concentrated on war production. We haven't had a pandemic since the Spanish Flu. It killed 50,000 Canadians, which would equate to about 240,000 with today's population. Is that what you would want? Canadians are damn lucky and spoiled. They haven't had to experience near the traumas that most other nations have.

It is a way to justify doing what you want at the cost of others lives, either through Covid itself or the inability of health care systems to cope with non covid cases because they are overloaded. Cars aren't a contagious disease and we need them to get around and provide us with goods and services. How many do you think this disease would have killed with no measures taken and no vaccines. Why do you keep bringing up dumb things like cars and compare them to highly infectious diseases? You can't give someone a car accident by breathing on them.

We know a lot more and we have vaccines that will keep the great majority out of hospital. We have also seen that new variants coming out of regions with very low vaccination rates are something we will have to live with until a majority of people on the planet are vaccinated. Omicron may be less severe but there is no guarantee there won't be worse variants to come along. People throughout history have put up with a lot more for a lot longer.

Casualty counting is what it is all about. It's the reason for restrictions. Except for those who want their freedoms at the cost of other people's lives

It's winter in Canada, people are indoors. Everyone is outdoors during winter in Florida. Florida's deaths per million population is 3.6 times Canada.

The NHS in Britain is just about under water and north eastern US states have been calling on the national guard to help out their health car systems. The average cost of medical insurance for a 40 year old in Florida is $554 a month or $700 CAD and it doesn't get cheaper as you get older. How much are you prepared to pay to carry excess capacity in our system to deal with once in a lifetime pandemics? Oops those were 2020 numbers, in 2021 the average cost went to $571 or $722 CAD.

Florida doesn't balance budgets either. You were paying $40 K in provincial income tax every year?

Services do cost money and Americans spend twice as much per capita vs GDP on health care than Canadians. Over $11,000 USD compared to $5400 for Canada. The second highest is Switzerland at $7300. Enjoy.

You can bitch and whine all you want but the reality is we have to make do with the system we have now, as does every other health care system in the world, which are all being stressed to the max by this pandemic. How will you pay for your health care in Florida?

Hospitals don’t admit people who aren’t sick.

Except more children are ending up in hospitals and even though recovery rates are higher, hospitals are coming under stress again because of higher admissions and large numbers of infected workers. 20,000 sick and self isolating in Quebec.

Yet in BC, under 30's now have the highest vaccination rate. its the 30's to 50's who are the problem children.

Link Please.

If there is no end, there is no end. No one guaranteed you an end.

One good thing about this, for the first time in my life I haven't had so much as a cold for over two years. Who says masks and other measures don't work.

New variant with 46 mutations found in France. Originated with a visitor from Cameroon, another from African country with one of the lowest vaccination rates in the world. No word yet on whether it will be serious.

Explain how you "manage" pests.

So did most other billionaires. Take your pick.

0.06% of what?

So you don't care that sick people in hospitals should have covid from infected workers added to their problems.

It says they should not go out of their homes. They should order their groceries and everything else, forever necessary.
