Aristides

Guess you would like to drive without a license as well.

The only thing limiting your freedoms are your own decisions.

So none then.

I'll ask one more time. What rights have you lost? Yesterday I posted that we had 91 in ICU on the weekend, today we have 112. At what point do you start paying attention?

What rights have you lost?

Must be tough being that paranoid. What rights have you lost?

The War Measures Act was replaced by the Emergencies Act in 1988 to bring it into compliance with the Charter of Rights.

No, we can't do things like that and we can't put the army around cities and not let anyone in or out. So pointing at the Chinese as an example is useless.

Bucks for what? Do you think more money will keep people from burning out? The Chinese put in restrictions most Canadians wouldn't stand for, let alone the "it's just another flu" crowd. They are your bucks, how much do you want to spend?

In mid August BCDC reported 11 daily hospitalizations per 1 million unvaccinated persons compared to 0.65 per 1 million for fully vaccinated. Your Israeli data is for cases, not hospitalizations.

Like what? Where are you going to get people from when every other health system is under the same kind of stress?

When will it sink in that these Covid cases are in addition to all the other causes, not replacing them? You have no clue what the capacity is but refuse to believe public health officials when they say the system is being stressed and workers are complaining of burn out.

You have the numbers, they went from low teens to over 90 in less than a month and a half. That is not 3 to 11. That is over 90 ICU beds that aren't available for heart attacks, traffic accidents, strokes, natural disasters or any other non Covid emergency. I guess you figure the province has more than 90 ICU beds it doesn't need. What if ICU cases continue to increase at the same rate as they have in the past couple of weeks? How many ICU beds can we tie up with Covid cases? What about the highly skilled personnel that are required to look after those patients. You don't just hire them off the street, to become a RN in Canada is a four year bachelor of science degree yet people don't seem to care that many are quitting because they are burnt out.

BCCDC

I was watching Dr Henry's briefing but all the graphs and modelling she presented will be on the BCCDC website shortly if not already.

BCCDC modelling being released now. Greatest increase in hospitalizations among people 40 to 59. An unvaccinated 50 year old is 12 times more likely to be infected and 34 times more likely to be hospitalized than a fully vaccinated 50 year old.

BC's hospitalizations have gone from 42 on July 15 to 171 yesterday. ICU cases have gone from the low teens to over 90. Ref: BCCDC. Not propaganda.

What universe are you living in. Cases and hospitalizations have skyrocketed this summer. In the spring we were down to 14 ICU Covid patients in BC, now we have over 90. What is it you don't understand about a variant that is 5 times as transmissible and has more severe symptoms?

So why have cases and hospitalizations accelerated this summer?

So why have hospitalizations tripled since July?

When you take the 26% of eligible Canadians who haven't been fully vaccinated or are unvaccinated and add it to the number under 12 who can't be vaccinated, you are looking at over 13 million Canadians who are not fully vaccinated or unvaccinated. So yes, that is enough to support a pandemic.

A Lancet study released last week found the Delta variant is twice as likely to hospitalize people than the Alpha variant and of those who were hospitalized 1.8 % were fully vaccinated. These vaccines seem very effective against severe symptoms from current variants. https://www.forbes.com/sites/jemimamcevoy/2021/08/27/delta-variant-more-than-doubles-risk-of-covid-hospitalization-uk-study-finds/?sh=2503da115f33 How many hospitalized is too many? Currently in BC there are 160 hospitalized Covid cases and 90 in ICU. Those are beds unavailable for non covid cases. States like Mississippi and Louisiana are saying they have almost no room for Hurricane Ida victims because their hospitals are plugged with Covid cases.

You are just pissed of because our women won the bulk of our medals and it is making you feel inferior. Women competing in sports are no threat to you, unless you pick on the wrong one and she beats the crap out off you.

No one is saying women are as good as men at sports that require strength and speed. Why do they have to be? That’s your hang up. You don’t even think they should be allowed to compete. You wear your sexism on your sleeve.

This soccer match was probably watched by more Canadians than any other event in this Olympics. You seem to have an unhealthy dislike of women, you sound very threatened by something no one is saying you have to be interested in.
