  1. Thought only old people died from this non existent virus.
  2. Germany considers new restrictions as hospitals in danger of being swamped.
  3. I don't doubt it but my point was, the greater the demand, the more selective schools will be.
  4. How do they protect themselves?
  5. The small number of slots available means they can be super selective when it comes to students. You won't get into engineering at UBC without an average well into the nineties.
  6. You don't just test positive and die, it can take some time to be sick enough to be hospitalized and the average ICU time is 21 days before people leave dead or alive.
  7. Cases have more than doubled since the middle of last month. Deaths usually trail cases by a month or more.
  8. So you don't believe Norwegian numbers either.
  9. Daily new cases in Norway have more than doubled since Oct 15. Norway requires testing before and on arrival for visitors plus a 10 day quarantine on arrival.
  10. Covid didn't come along until Trump's last year.
  11. And some people won't listen regardless of how much explanation, justification or meaningful answers you give them. You just have to move on without them.
  12. The definition of not fully vaccinated has been quite clear for some time. Within two weeks of receiving the second shot. Following AstraZeneca with a mRNA shot has shown to give protection that is at least as good as 2 mRNA shots.
  13. Status is known in BC. Hospitalizations per 100K per week Unvaccinated 24.15 Partially vaccinated 4.55 Fully vaccinated 1.15
  14. You better hope you don't end up in hospital with anything else, you are liable to find a covid patient in the bed you need.
  15. How are you going to catch heart disease or a stroke from someone else?
  16. So why else would you think there would be restrictions on movement, distancing etc?
  17. I guess that's why over 80% of the people in hospital are from the 15% of the population that hasn't been vaccinated.
  18. Like any other disease we control with vaccines.
  19. I don't think anyone expects to eradicate Covid, the only disease that has ever been eradicated is smallpox. With vaccines.
  20. There you go again.
  21. Smallpox was declared eradicated in 1979 and the last known case was around 77. Influenza vaccine efficacy is all over the map. Polio vaccine requires three shots to get near 100%. Meningitis vaccines are about 85%.
  22. I don't know why you keep dragging Nazis into this. It's just ignorant.
  23. So John's Hopkins equals Josef Goebbels. I guess the Holocaust didn't happen either. Well this is a waste of time.
  24. You can't catch either one of them from someone else.
