I'm starting this thread as a side discussion of all things Corona Virus related. I understand that this is going to be discussed in almost all other topic threads but we could collect news and other items here. 

 

At work, many conferences have been cancelled.

NBA - Suspended.

NHL - About to be suspended. 

NCAA March Madness - Playing - no crowd. 

 

Political Rallies have been cancelled. 

Travel bans. 

 

Rita Wilson and Tom Hanks tested positive. They're in Australia where testing is available. If they were in the US, they wouldn't have been tested.

More like he got the vaccine to not miss upwards of 30 games during the season while he had to quarantine.

I read where he was also quoted him feeling a bit forced to do this not that he’s an anti vaxxer or anything. Come again?

No one forced him to take the vaccine. Choose to do anything you want but be prepared for the consequence of this choice, in this case financial repercussions. 

I have little to no use for anyone who didn't jump on the first vaccine offered to them the second it was available......

I've heard this too from others. One person I heard, got the first shot but never bothered getting the second (?!??!?!?!?!??!?). Was told by employer, a local school, that they must or will lose their job. Became outraged and still hasn't got their shot. 

Some people are just big babies who don't like that their decisions have consequences.

Most people were forced. I felt forced to take it. But the thing that was forcing me is a deadly virus that spreads like wild fire.

You were coerced. I don't think anyone has been forced. 

Swayed to take it. Nobody put it in my arm twice. Greater good reasoning really. Young school aged child. Yeah swayed...

This is true!

Religious overly religious individuals and countries for that matter are also relying on God a wee bit much

Vaccines: God will protect me.

Guns: God can't protect me.

I dont hate people who put the needle on pause. Clearly not taking AZ for 5(?) people would have saved their lives.

Good critical thinking usually sways one to the necessary choice whether or not that aligns with one’s individual hopes and beliefs.

The president of the Canadian Medical Association (CMA) says Alberta Health Services (AHS) should immediately reduce capacity limits for both indoor and outdoor professional sports teams, and if the provincial government refuses, that teams should commit to the rollbacks themselves.

Based on the last game, it doesn't look like Edmonton needs to enforce anything other than maybe forcing the small number of people who show up for the game to space out a bit more.

People that don't want the vaccine are the most short sighted people in the world, they live in their own little world and don't recognize that by feeding the virus as it continues to mutate it becomes more and more of a drain on the already taxed healthcare system.

well at least Helle has smartened up after learning the hard way what COVID can do to you

In the interview, he was whining about "not having a choice". 

Let's put it this way if Helle didn't have to have the vaccine he wouldn't, burger flippers don't make 6.1m a year, no offence to burger flippers

I would not even say that really. The consistency in their logic is “I don’t need anyone else (specifically the government) to protect me, I will protect myself”. Be it with a gun, or my belief that the vaccine is dangerous, I will not be beholden to anyone else’s orders about my life (except abortion, of course).

COVID Truthers’ New Low: Getting Followers to Yank Relatives From ICUs

Anti-vaxxers have adopted a new conspiracy theory, telling followers that doctors and nurses dealing with the surge of COVID among the unvaccinated are purposefully withholding miracle treatments. On Facebook groups, followers are encouraging each other to pull relatives from ICUs or withhold sending them to ERs and instead self-medicate with unproven drugs like ivermectin, according to posts reviewed by NBC News. Anti-vaxxers have shared instructions for getting someone released from the hospital and shared videos of people doing it successfully. As some followers have realized ivermectin is not effective at treating COVID, they’ve turned to bizarre and dangerous experiments like gargling iodine and inhaling hydrogen peroxide, NBC reports.

You are several 'stories' behind. An MB. Hospital in Southern Health has had 10 babies born dead, because the mothers were double - vaxxed.  Yes, people believe this and share the 'info.'

Um, no, because they specifically say that Jeebus and the invisible sky fairy will save them.

You be should be able to audit their vaccine status on the spot.
