Numb from the Covid

[The Franchise]

Our first case directly in my family. My youngest 5 has tested positive. Had a runny nose and coughed maybe 5 times ate a 20 piece nuggets to himself so he is just fine...phew

The rest of us four all negative. I should buy shares in this brain swab I have had it so many times.

Don't let Jeff O'Neill hear about this or he'll put you on blast across the airwaves and tell everyone you need to have a better relationship with your kids.

Im sure McNuggies are just as effective. Glad everything is good!

Communication bullshite strikes again in this never ending fiasco

Booo!!

 

[Dude]

I really don't get it. The rest of the world is getting on with it, and our governments at all levels in Canada are doubling down? Like, honestly, WTF?

The strange thing is that I *think* regular community sports are allowed tournaments after Feb 1? This is inconsistent, like why are school sports being held to a different standard?

Guessing unions? It's government? Combination of the two evils?

Really don't know.

I can say that my kids school basketball had to take a week off because of omicron quick spread, which spread to the junior team as there are players playing both senior and Junior, as well as to families of the players. It is hitting schools quickly and spreading quick but once it’s gone through aren’t we OK to move on?

You just described society as a whole right now.

Then is this why we aren’t moving forward? Still spreading? Are we in a different place in the life of the virus than the countries that are moving forward?

No. It’s spreading. That’s the point. It’s significantly weakened as it’s mutated some 32 times, so many societies are opening up and treating this as a common cold.

It’s going to spread, the variant isn’t nearly as harmful as the original COVID-19 virus, most of modern society is vaccinated, it’s time to live with it.

Eventually people will start figuring out that we have elected a bunch of rabidly illiberal statists to run our province and country. They love power, they love big government, and they smell their own farts so much that they're actually convinced they know much better than you do how you should errrr must live your life.

This never, ever ends well...

Yeah its not ending well for many people who are dying. The 7 day average of deaths in the U.S. is 2,378 per day, an average. For a year that would be 853,297 deaths in the US in one year.

It looks like Otoole is going to prove my prediction wrong. Media is reporting that he will speak to the truckers who are on strike. These truckers seem to have a pretty good union.

In a country of 300m people. Aren’t numbers fun? Dying of a virus that predominantly attacks the obese and immune compromised, kinda like any virus, flu, pneumonia. But hey, in the past, a person suffering from Cancer who eventually dies after a bought of pneumonia would be counted into the cancer death column, now people suffering from a disease that catch COVID and pass are passing of COVID.

Not saying this isn’t a real virus, and harmful to some, but the stats are incredibly skewed. It’s like @LION said months ago, people just aren’t allowed to die anymore.

@LION is on the cusp of meeting my twitter ignore list if the daily flood of crazy people retweets continues

People are allowed to die, but if the government doesn’t attempt to save as many as possible, the same people will be blamed and will take the flak for those who died under their watch. I also kinda feel like the same people complaining now would be the same ones complaining if mass death numbers arose because they didn’t do enough.

They’re in a no win situation, as they are with most decisions they make. Gonna piss some off and not gonna do enough for others.

Omicron drives US deaths higher than in fall's delta wave

The highly contagious omicron variant of the coronavirus is driving the daily American death toll higher than during last fall’s delta wave.

apnews.com

“Omicron will push us over a million deaths,” said Andrew Noymer, a public health professor at the University of California, Irvine. “That will cause a lot of soul searching. There will be a lot of discussion about what we could have done differently, how many of the deaths were preventable.”

Yup. He’s sounding like a crazy person. And I’ve told him so this isn’t speaking out of school.

So why not start focusing on long term healthy initiatives?

We complain about what’s being done or not being done to protect ourselves from a statistically irrelevant virus (sorry, it is, math doesn’t lie)….how many of us drink more than 10 beers per week? How about 10-20? How about something stiffer?

If you are saying yes, do you know how damaging THAT is to your health, both short and long term? Do you have any idea what those 5-10 beers per week do to hurt your natural immunity from anything?

This is also science we understand, yet most adults willingly poison themselves weekly….and now we’re complaining about a virus where, if most people simply cut out booze and replaced it with good hydration and a fcukload of fruits and veggies every week, this virus would have no effect.

But hypocrisy is fun too.
