Why is everyone so
afraid of the mandates dropping ? If you still want to wear your mask,
go ahead ! if you want to social distance, be my guest ! Nothing else
will change except the fact that we will be free to choose if we want to
wear a mask, social distance, and get vaccinated. People were wearing
masks before this pandemic.
Marcel Belanger
Reply to @Julie
Robichaud: we are not afraid of those measures being stopped when the
science and healthcare communities say they can. You want them dropped
just because you don’t trust those communities and you don’t like what
they are advising our governments to do. That’s why you are your buddies
harass nurses going to work and throw rocks at them. Get your shots and
you can join the majority of Canadians who’ve done the right thing and
are moving this crisis in a direction that will end all those mandates.
YES that’s right, the mandates will end because of a high vaccination
level in the population NO they won’t end because of a gang of seditious
crybabies.

Belanger: so what qualifies as a fully vaccinated person to you??? What
are you going to do when less ppl show up for the third shot??? I know a

Reply to @Marcel
Belanger: 1 shot.. 2 shot.. booster... 75%.. 80%.. 90%.. 100% ... IT
WONT END ! If you failed to see that, you never will. it is proven that
masks dont work, and lockdowns either. Do you know how many people
commited suicide because of this ? Or how many families were broken ?
How about how many kids went without love and food, because they only
get that in school.. I'd much rather save 5 kids, than 5 seniors over 80
years old.. i said it.

As the weather warms, people migrate outside. Just like in the fall when

than indoors. Just look at the stats. It is not magical. Also by then we
can get the booster rate up. Funny how those wanting to eliminate the
restrictions conveniently ignore the difference in these booster rates
in Europe compared to hear or what Tam had to say on that but of course
you all like to quote one part of the message not the entire message.

Reply to @JOhn D Bond:
you sound rattled at the fact that the restrictions are loosening and
life is going to go back to normal. Accept it and move on! Tam said 2
shots do nothing against Omicron. A booster gives some protection, but
it only lasts for a short period. why do you think Pfizer are developing
an omicron vax? Because the existing one isn't effective - hence the
massive uptick in cases in the vaccinated. How many times do you want
to ignore these facts? You've been a staunch believer that we should be
in lockdown forever, that's been clear for ages, but now that things
are changing against what you want, you are irritated. Typical. But
good news is... you can still stay home, don't go out, don't socialize,
stay at home and mix only with your preferred 10 - you are free do do
these things without being told to. Independent thinking 101.

If you have done everything asked for ,but fail to realize that Omicron
created a new ball game, that as the virus mutates it changes and
protocols implemented to protect the population also require change.
That we are closer to getting back to some form of normal than we have
been for a long time. That to help us get there and beyond, the
importance of getting boosted and significantly increasing that rate in
the population is critical and that for 45-60 days of patience, you are
willing to throw it all away.
The media, be that MSM or alternative sources have one thing in common. Readership and clicks which generate $. Public health officials sadly have political masters that will play politics and claim it is a balancing act.
My perspective, pay attention to what the Science is saying about the vaccinations, ignore the sensationalized stories in the media and give it some time.

Bond: there could be one,two, or several more mutations, you don't know,
nobody knows, so this so called 45-60 days of patience turns into
months and then another year with continuous restrictions and lock
downs, like I said enough is enough

Reply to @John Lake:
With that statement are you really suggesting that to heck with the
consequences. That if another mutation that evades all vaccinations, all
of the mitigation strategies to hold this at bay comes on the scene,
simply ignore it and let everyone carryon as if it doesn't exist? You
realize that would never be allowed to happen. Governments would be
legally obligated to take steps to mitigate the spread. I would ask, if
you believe these restrictions and vaccines have helped us in Canada
have a much lower death rate than most other countries or are they all
simply ineffective and a waste of time?

Gill: the good news is you forgot the best part of what Dr. Tam said:
Tam said it's now clear that the primary series of a COVID-19 vaccine —
the first two shots of an mRNA vaccine or a viral vector product like
the AstraZeneca vaccine — do not protect against an Omicron infection.
But these shots still offer "reasonably good protection" against severe outcomes like hospitalization and death. A third shot provides "superior protection," dramatically reducing the likelihood of severe outcomes, she said. A third dose might also help to prevent an actual infection, Tam added

continue to live in fear of this virus, and Public Health's approach has

say goodbye to public health restrictions.

when over 75% get a two dose vax" ? and then they said 75% wasn't good
enough and that we now need to vax the children and give a booster.

One thing we can all agree on is the death rate is quite disturbing
Neil Murphy
Reply to @Marc LeBlanc: More disturbing is knowing we all die
SarahRose Werner
Reply to @Marc
LeBlanc: I'm not sure that disturbing is the word I would use. I'd say
more like regrettable. I'd be "disturbed" if we didn't know why people
were dying, but we do. Certainly the number of deaths is low even
compared to the number of known cases - which is quite likely less than
the number of actual cases. The other thing to keep in mind re: deaths
is that they tend to lag hospitalizations, which in turn lag cases. We
could be seeing the worst of the deaths right now
David Amos
Reply to @Neil Murphy: Even more disturbing is how much taxes we pay supporting this nonsense until we do give up the ghost

"Hospital occupancy is listed at 89 per cent, while the ICU occupancy is at 68 per cent. "
We are coming out of this folks. Lets move to Level 1 and start talking about building a healthcare system. The one we had is the one we still have, operating in crisis not a new story.

Reply to @Dave
Corbin: Sadly we are not ready for level 1. At a minimum we need to
significantly increase the % of the population with the booster shots.
That is the primary driver in the European countries that are moving to
relax the restrictions. Level 2 is fine for now.
SarahRose Werner
Reply to @Dave Corbin:
Agreed. To break down the figures a bit, 3% of our hospitals beds are
occupied by patients who are there for COVID. 4% are occupied by
patients with COVID who are there for other reasons, and 82% are
occupied by patients who don't have COVID. 11% of our ICU beds are
occupied by people who are there for COVID. 1% - one bed - is occupied
by a patient who's there for other reasons and has COVID, and 56% are
occupied by patients who don't have COVID. COVID is the straw on the
camel's back.

Reply to @Nathan
Patriquen: Might I suggest Level 1 to start with, but not to stop with?
Moving to Level 1 should be the start of a process that leads to the
end of the "winter plan," the end of the state of emergency instated in
September 2021 and the repeal of the vaccine and mask mandates added to
the Public Health regulations in September 2021. As far as I'm
concerned, it's not over until both mandates are gone.

Typically, for budgetary and fiscal reasons, you want your occupancy
rate over 90%. If not, you're paying for nurses to sit around...

It appears as though
the Higgs Government is allowing COVID to relieve it of it's
responsibilities to it's seniors. Six deaths a day and sitting at level
two can only mean one thing and that will not work well for those over
70.

Reply to @Norman Albert Snr: Excuse me if I suggest you are exaggerating with the intent and the numbers both miss the boat.
The numbers don't add up using your number and certainly the government is not abandoning anyone by moving to level 2. The are trying to balance for all.
