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.

Because it's still Covid-19 and we're seeing mutations of it. There is no Covid-23, that has been documented. 

Florida’s surgeon general on Wednesday called for a halt to the use of Covid vaccines, citing widely debunked concerns that contaminants in the vaccine can permanently integrate into human DNA.

Yup.

Junk science put in place to generate revenue.

One things is for sure these last couple of years, there are a lot and I mean a lot of stupid ignorant people that have busted the stupid scale and unfortunately many are in government. 

A headline from Politico

Hydroxychloroquine could have caused 17,000 deaths during COVID, study finds

Former US President Donald Trump said: ‘What do you have to lose? Take it.’

On both sides of the political scale. Now that the pandemic is over, Bonnie Henry in BC their Chief MO refuses to hire back the health care professionals who refused to mask or vaccinate. She still maintains a vaccine mandate for health care professionals. AFAIK, BC is the only province that still does this. BC has a massive shortage of workers in health care. Over a million plus people have no family doctor. To me, she's just as stupid as that Chief MO in Florida.

There's always been a vaccine mandate for healthcare professionals.

Yes, I acknowledge there is a dearth of qualified, compassionate healthcare workers in Canada.  As one of those million people who doesn't have a family doctor, it's concerning to me.  It's equally concerning that I might have someone I care about under the care of a "professional" who is so selfish and self-absorbed that they can't bothered do the bare minimum to keep them safe.  As far as I'm concerned, if you aren't willing to do the smallest of things to keep those under your care free from harm then you have no business being in the business you are in.

 

 

imagine considering yourself a medical professional and refusing to get vaccinated.... you should have your qualifications removed. An incredible number of people sick with respiratory virus infections this fall/winter, and people are like "what pandemic??" No vaccine, no mask..... you get what you deserve. 

Sorry about all the deletions guys.  User joined the site 2 hours ago and proceeded to do nothing but post 'covid spam.'

As you were.

Drug company Moderna says its combined flu and Covid vaccine, which targets the two diseases in a single shot, has passed a vital part of final-stage scientific checks.

Would you like to know more?

Amen... Burying your head in the sand is no answer. It's good to have real information from actual doctors and scientists.

It's with us for good. The media have sensationalized headlines making it look like the newest variant is dangerous. Then you read a story & they always mention near the end that symptoms are similar to what we know & about as infectious.

Burying your head? Gimmee a break. It's called being realistic. Get vaccinated when eligible & carry on with your life.

Actual doctors and scientists can and have been wrong more times then not.    With profits being a priority over actual health it's very hard to give 100% trust to any "experts" these days.
