iHeart Posted April 30, 2021 Report Share Posted April 30, 2021 (edited) it could be worse, the P1 variant could be the dominant strain but I haven't heard anything new about it here since that one case so I guess this means the individual must have listened to reason Edited April 30, 2021 by iHeart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's absolutely ****** that several Asian countries (Japan, South Korea) have had this mentality for years regarding masks. And here, we have covidiot ***** trying to equate mask-wearing with tyranny and oppression. It's just nauseating.

I've posted this a few times, I think, but it bears repeating: This pandemic has really revealed just how spoiled a certain chunk of our population really is. They have absolutely no ******* clue what oppression really is... blue_gold_84, Tracker, Bigblue204 and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCon Posted April 30, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2021 The ponzi scheme is done. I guess they have $7 Million dollars of Manitoba's money.

rebusrankin Posted April 30, 2021 Report Share Posted April 30, 2021 So when reporters ask Pallister about this is he going to question their journalistic integrity? Meanwhile, he can announce a plan (education staff being vaccinated in North Dakota) that doesn't actually exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracker Posted April 30, 2021 Report Share Posted April 30, 2021 Some good- no, GREAT news today. The chief immunologist for the federal government said in an interview today that the pace of vaccine arrival and injection is accelerating and that, barring unforeseen complications, Canada ought to have herd immunity some time in June.

Super Duper Negatron Posted April 30, 2021 Report Share Posted April 30, 2021 I cant see how. Manitoba is only on pace for shot 1 by then. I didn't think that was enough for herd immunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't think that was enough for herd immunity. So I'm not sure about herd immunity, but the prevailing theory on Twitter is that we need to hit 75% 1st dose and 20% 2nd dose in order to relax restrictions and keep the daily case counts down. We're on pace to hit that 75/20 by June 6th. Not sure if that equates to herd immunity, but it'll be enough protection to ease restrictions and start getting back to normal for good...

I didn't think that was enough for herd immunity. One shot is still really good. I read somewhere that the efficacy is around 75 to 80% for covid and 98% against serious complications and death. The second dose pushes it to the +90% range. blue_gold_84 and Noeller 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odds of restaurants having 33% capacity, the whole population avoiding friends and family, activities being permanently cancelled, sporting events being fan free and all those other goodies which are impacting these numbers are at about zero percent chance of that being a long term culture thing.
