Are they not watching as it is gradually reinstated all over the US? I love the idea of slowly opening things up and returning to normal but the indoor mask mandate should be the last restriction lifted in my mind. It's effective and easy to follow.

the watcher Posted August 3, 2021 Report Share Posted August 3, 2021 I also would love to have seen them link lifting restrictions and vaccination rates in each community or RHA or RM . ( Winkler I'm looking at you ! ) Then you pull enforcement officers from where they are no longer needed and and enforce the hell out of them. But that would take a large set of Kahunas which our current Gov lacks . rebusrankin, JCon, Wideleft and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noeller Posted August 3, 2021 Report Share Posted August 3, 2021 Welcome to AB-East, apparently.... sorry gang. Con government's gonna Con..... MB/SK/AB all the same, unfortunately. I'm definitely still wearing my mask even though double vaxxed. Prepare to see your case counts shoot up again, tho not as bad as previous waves thanks to vaccines.

SpeedFlex27 Posted August 3, 2021 Report Share Posted August 3, 2021 I can only imagine the vaccine rollout if this guy was Prime Minister. It would have been a disaster. Seventy five per cent of Canadians got at least one shot of vaccine. Here he is pandering to his base of 25%. Not to the other 75%. His PPC won't grow doing that which is a good thing. The man is a freaking idiot. JCon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildPath Posted August 4, 2021 Report Share Posted August 4, 2021 https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/mask-analysis-pallister-manitoba-roussin-1.6128662 "I am just so damn sick of how our society has to suck up the consequences of the incompetence of leaders who lack insight, empathy and humility, and the caution that is the hallmark of all those things," tweeted Dr. Jillian Horton, a general internist and author in Winnipeg. "It doesn't make any sense," said Dr. Glen Drobot, who works in internal medicine at St. Boniface and Grace hospitals. "I fear we're going to be entering into a fourth wave that will be similar to the third wave." "Not every jurisdiction is, has got the same epidemiology, not every jurisdiction is in the same place. We're in a good place right now — and yahoo to that," Pallister said. Yahoo is right. Just like the yahoos when we somehow escaped the first three waves of Covid despite experts saying we would eventually get hit. Let's hope this is our government's final victory lap over Covid. They even suggested some unvaxxed will now want to get vaccinated because they are no longer protected by public health measures.

Tracker Posted August 4, 2021 Report Share Posted August 4, 2021 Dr. Fauci warns the US 'could really be in trouble' from new Covid variant even worse than Delta COVID-19's highly infectious Delta variant has been causing considerable misery in the U.S., especially in red states with low vaccination rates. And according to expert immunologist Dr. Anthony Fauci, a COVID-19 variant that is even worse than Delta may wreak havoc in the United States if more Americans don't get vaccinated. In an interview with McClatchy, the 80-year-old Fauci — who heads the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and is President Joe Biden's chief medical adviser — warned, "What we're seeing, because of this increase in transmissibility, and because we have about 93 million people in this country who are eligible to get vaccinated who don't get vaccinated — that you have a significant pool of vulnerable people." According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 70% of U.S.-based adults have been at least partially vaccinated for COVID-19. That figure is taking into consideration the U.S. on the whole; vaccination rates can vary considerably from one state to the next. Some of the lowest vaccination rates are in deeply Republican states. The Mayo Clinic reports that the number of U.S. residents who have been at least partially vaccinated for COVID-19 ranges from 75% in Vermont and 72% in Massachusetts to 39% in Mississippi, 43% in Alabama and Mississippi and 49% in Missouri. A major difference between the current COVID-19 surge that is pounding the U.S. and previous surges is that this one is, according to Biden's administration, a "pandemic of the unvaccinated." Fauci told McClatchy, "Even if we vaccinated everyone today, we're not going to see an effect until the middle to end of September." The more COVID-19 is allowed to spread in the U.S., according to Fauci, the more dangerous a variant that is worse than the Delta variant will be. "If we don't crush the outbreak to the point of getting the overwhelming proportion of the population vaccinated," Fauci told McClatchy, "then what will happen is the virus will continue to smolder through the fall into the winter, giving it ample chance to get a variant — which, quite frankly, we're very lucky that the vaccines that we have now do very well against the variants, particularly against severe illness. We're very fortunate that that's the case. There could be a variant that's lingering out there that can push aside Delta." Fauci added, "If another one comes along that has an equally high capability of transmitting but also, is much more severe, then we could really be in trouble. People who are not getting vaccinated mistakenly think it's only about them. But it isn't. It's about everybody else, also."
