Of the 59 ppl admitted to hospital – how many were admitted due to covid vs admitted for another reason and they happened to have covid ?
facts
3
Having no symptoms is a symptom.
“Happen to have” … that’s a strange coincidence..! Even stranger is that they don’t do “tests” on ppl in hospitals just because they desperately want it… so where exactly r those numbers coming from? Don’t believe me? Go to a hospital & ask for a “c test” & they will reject u…
@Truth Is Racist As I understand it, everyone who is admitted to hospital is tested. If you are admitted due to a car accident and happen to have covid, I understand you become a covid hospitalization number even though covid wasn’t the reason you were admitted..
So deadly that you can stand outside for hours in the cold waiting for a test.
@Sandeep Sanghera exactly
@Just Wingin’ It There are but the system would not allow to use the treatments
I was legit feeling fine before going to get tested waited 2 hours outside in – 10C I’ve been sick for the last 2 days now 😭😭
The testing sure does look like an unnecessary risk. If it’s that contagious ? Obviously you shouldn’t group together and stand in a line in the cold increasing spread lol. Why would anyone take that risk to take a test? If you need a test you must feel sick ..lol. Incredibly dumb! Go home .
@EAT A PEACH fully aware that’s how your mind comprehends, logic = can’t understand lol thanks for admitting it…
Who cares about positive cases when hospitalizations are way down?? This is totally irrational
@FuelAirSparkTime How many hours of facebook to come to that conclusion LMFAO!!
This is what happens when you trade your freedoms for safety.
@Stick Fijibugs Citation please.
@BenDugas All of this from
Facebook news
@FuelAirSparkTime Oh you’re one of those…
“We’re all in this together” Will the politicians be standing in line in the snow for ‘tests’ and ‘boosters’?
*They’re* all in this together.
No they won’t they’ll be on the next plane to warm and sunny destination like before.
Will you? I most certainly will not be.
Nope, politicians and their spouses and children are exempt from the vax
NO, but neither am I.
this should be called gullibility instead of covid or whatever they want to add to it
Read that in a mirror bud, you are the guidable one if you believe antivaxxer conspiracy stupidity.
@pandorachild oh grow up, this is being spread by the vaxxed and if the vaxx was so safe and effective they wouldn’t be keeping the data secret for 75 years
@pandorachild is germ theory a theory? 🙄
With long queue, you might get infected with omicron from others lining up the queue.
Lets gather by the 100’s to get a test, how stupid is that and yet reduce the number of members for Christmas. If you can’t see how blood stupid this all is I don’t know what to tell you. So saddened my fellow Canadians are so easily swayed by governments that clearly aren’t producing results. We are never getting back to normal, stop testing, they put restrictions in on purely cases. If you are sick, stay home and likely its the flu
Any deaths from the new ultra weak variant? State of emergency?
@Stick Fijibugs I’m almost certain I just recovered from it and it was no big deal.
@Stick Fijibugs <--- Does not know that vehicles killed more Canadians under 50 in 12 months than has COVID in 21 months.
@Stick Fijibugs A healthy person ? That’s not what I heard , it was a guy in his 50s with other health conditions and it being Texas I wouldn’t be surprised if he was unvaxed .
@Jean Guy Paul Wrong. One unvaxxed Texan yesterday died, and 1 Israeli today, and Israel has the toughest omicron control in world. And, it is still way too early to know.
@Stick Fijibugs Citation? and you’re sure it wasn’t comorbidity? and they died OF it right? not WITH it?
So deadly you need to self isolate when you have no symptoms after taking a test cycled up to a guaranteed positive.
imagine needing the government to telll you what to do
Welcome to Canada.
Imagine needing the government to govern your mental 🤣
Despite the vaccinations? Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?
Imagine my shock.
Yeah, nobody saw that one coming.
“Trust the science!”
Ya they don’t work.
Wow…I just saw video of a South African dr saying omicron has mild symptoms.
Going to the doctor be like: “You got the sniffles! +1 for Omicron”
Still Noone talking about early treatment or natural immunity.
I just hope Canada doesn’t implode because of all the debt. If the economy keeps going the way it is, I don’t think becoming like Greece is so far fetched. Maybe it will have to default
Nothing will default, assets will simply go from one hand to another. It’s a club and you’re not in it.
what does it mean/ what happens if we have to default? this is not my area or expertise…. at all
@Primary Ignition They will eventually have to default because printing money to cover your bills can not go on forever.
@Joe Struthers I completely agree with you and I’m glad you believe in a cyclical timeline. Our leaders believe in linear time and it can go on forever or they can fix it. Demographics/history shows the boomers will leave and the millennials will cause a great change. It’s coming so prepare for it is all I can say.
The objective is to destroy the country
We’re in this together. Meanwhile, politicians don’t miss a paycheck.
Or public-sector workers. Or those privileged enough to work from home. Or those collecting CERB cheques.
Or make a decision
Wah. Lots of places hiring….. oh that’s right you’re above service work. 🤡
Don’t forget the raise the politicians gave themselves.
This is madness 😂🤦♀️
He is not even speaking to her, he is reading..
I wonder who’s idea that was? 🇮🇱
They love making everyone a third and 4th class citizen
Go get those BOOSTERS, because there are 7 more coming your way next year.
Would you look at that, Alberta was being attacked non stop about it, and their rates are way down vs Ontario and Quebec, both their charts are ones you would love to see on a stock if you were holding it.
His Most Exalted King Legault I is very disappointed in the peasants for letting this happen, and will soon send the sheriffs to crack down on the serfs for this transgression against His Royal Highness.
