I think you’ll find that a lot of people don’t believe their weight is an underlying condition.

 

Obesity is often accompanied by hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol, etc, etc

More with the "cases". Sorry, still not scared.  :rolleyes:

 

Drug overdoses have killed so many more people in this province than Covid-19 yet we haven't shut down society to eliminate this threat. Why not? Instead we hand out free needles and open "safe injection sites" to enable and perpetuate the disease of addiction.

 

If we treated Covid-19 like we do illegal drugs, we wouldn't be testing people for it, we'd be injecting it into them.

^ With Covid they can scare people into accepting the social changes that they have been frothing at for decades.

 

I was mocked months ago when I suggested that debt could exceed $1T. Guess what, $1.2T THUS FAR and counting.

This in light of pandemic-related spending Trudeau has already announced, raising this year’s deficit to $343 billion and total federal public debt to $1.2 trillion.

British Columbia's top doctor says the resurgence the province is seeing in COVID-19 cases could be a second wave, but she believes the illness can be suppressed heading into the fall.

 

Speaking at an ElectionsBC news conference, Bonnie Henry says calling it a second wave is semantics and the reality is the pandemic will be with us for a long time.

 

Henry says the key will be finding the right balance as cases surge while allowing people to carry out activities like going to work and school or holding elections.

^ How pathetic. Encouraging kids not to get tested to keep infection numbers lower (even though two weeks ago that meant killing your grandparents), not counting infected people without BC Health care numbers, and downplaying new cases all so the NDP can get a majority.

Yup, it’s getting weird out there because suddenly we’ve been thrust into silly season.

We’re also seeing fewer deaths relative to high case loads because the people getting infected are younger, meaning their rate of survival is significantly higher.

And now that kids are back at school the number of cases is going to climb rapidly. Already my friends and colleagues are getting the sniffles as all sectors of society starting to intermingle for school and work.

If you stop testing kids then they won't show up in any infection counts.

the article never mentions it's a new 4-day record low.  no new deaths.

Bonnie Henry has received many death threats and has a security person in her house and with her whenever she is out.

 

Who would be that wacked out that they would provide death threats to the kind calm Dr. Bonnie?


Life's a journey......so roll down the window and enjoy the breeze.

Perhaps people who are at their wit's end by being repressed socially, professionally and/or personally by their government reacting to her advice?

 

I could see some folks teetering on the edge blaming her for their situation.

Adam Stirling noted this evening that the CDC has been improperly recording active cases for a period of a month. The active case load fell to 1,465 today after being at 1,987. And I can vouch for this, because I referred to the 1,987 total earlier today for a Facebook post.

this article talks a lot about “close contact”.

https://www.cbc.ca/n...-plan-1.5734141

but then suggests shutting down gyms bars and restaurants with absolutely no data backing up that is where “close contact” occurs.

Johnson & Johnson is beginning a huge final study to try to prove if a single-dose COVID-19 vaccine can protect against the virus.

there seems to be good news in here even if not all that new news.

particularly the recovery times documented are excellent.
