Imagining COVID is ālike the fluā is cutting thousands of lives short. Itās time to wake up
Omicron has evolved faster than the tools we are using to combat it.
Imagining COVID is ālike the fluā
Now the politicians at Public Health Ontario have lumped COVID and Influenza together on our only remaining, updated bi-weekly, data source.
That data source now has the summer numbers for Ontario . Over the 14 weeks from the end of may to the start of September, deaths were
333 in 2020
423 in 2021
853 in 2022
Wow, double last year.
I have no idea who these people are but itās an interesting story.
Biden:
"The pandemic is overā¦ We still have a problem with Covid. Weāre still doing a lot of work on it ā¦ but the pandemic is over. if you notice, no oneās wearing masks. Everybody seems to be in pretty good shape. And so I think itās changing.ā
Good to know that Iām no oneā¦ Thanks Dark Brandon.
So fucking sick of this crap. The pandemic is not over. The government is not ādoing a lot of work on itā. If anything the government is scaling back efforts to help people preferring to shrug and tell people to figure it out for themselves.
I fucking hate this timeline.
Donāt worry, Marge knows what to do.
Is the gym always that empty?
I guess when you have no committee work you have the gym all to yourself.
Or when you have Empty Geeās personality?
I guess if that means providing gym memberships to everyone, free child care and a living wage so people can afford time to exercise, and minimum free check ups and preventative medicine, sounds good to me!
But I somehow doubt thatās at all what she meansā¦
Sheās just trying to grift again. Getting Congress to send money to gym owners, like herself. Though I think she sold hers.
Well, her soul was sold off pretty quickly, thatās for sure.
Agreed, very much so.
Is that some kind of reverse psychology trick to get the republicans to actually DO something about the pandemic? Or is that some kind of "oops, I forgot to say NOT! The pandemic is NOT over!
So youāre for addressing the needs of impoverished communities that are unable to afford healthy meals? Or that may not have access things like trainers, gyms, or exercise equipment? (And no, Marjie, running from the police doesnāt count.) And, you do know that healthy people can still get sick, right? Of course not. And whatās the dig about not wanting big pharma to make a profit? I thought you were a capitalist!
Donāt put your lives and your future in the hands of government
So says the elected official. I thought people took up public service to serve their communities rather than sabotage them.
Christ, what a repugnant person.
