How many complications btw?
I have to go poo.
Have fun.
Realism is the line between panic and complacency. Extremes on either side are as unhealthy as the disease itself.
10, 000. Out of 37, million … looks like another wave of fear mongering
@Pancuronium Pete 90% of those that died had one or more existing health issue according to the health report that just came out. 80% were in long term care homes where they were at the end of life. Look it up yourselves.
most dying where i live are older than the average of of death from natural causes
@scafff beast They are still loved and valued.
@Fight Climate Change Don’t feed the trolls. They’re just looking for attention
@globalcat True.
Sharkawy is hilarious. Back in March he was calling out all the doomsayers for hyping the dangers on this which were minimal and still are but now he’s the glum face of doom and gloom and player the part of the serious and sober “front line” doctor who thinks we’re all going to die. What a total stooge.
8500 die annually from influenza. 10000 dead by November in the first year of a new influenza-like virus is _not a “pandemic”._ H1N1 (c. 2009) is included in annual influenza statistics; add SARS-CoV-2 to the list and let’s all get on with life.
“One of the most tragic milestones in Canadian history”…?! 🤮🥴
Exactly.
FAKE
What about the co-morbidities? How many would have died from other illnesses this year?
Blame Mr Tam and WHO
“I don’t think we can sell false hope without credible evidence” That doesn’t stop you from selling false fear without credible evidence.
nothing is consistent across the country
8900 canadians died of influenza in 2018 in one flu season.
It reached 8600 deaths in early July, we got another 1400 so-called Covid deaths in 4 months. This is a Casedemic.
