Not interested in conspiracy theories

Why bother with storytelling the truth is graphic enough.

looks as though today will be the lowest day for new deaths in the UK since early december.  and if israel holds too they are looking at another dramatic drop in deaths.  and new cases.

New York City movie theatres can open their doors again at limited capacity starting March 5, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Monday.

 

Movie theatres can only operate at 25% capacity, with no more than 50 people per screening, Cuomo said.

An earlier post said that we are expecting to receive about 450,000 doses a weekl going forward. That is a little less than 2 million doses a month or enough to do about a million people a month. |Assuming that we need to vaccinate about 25 million people we are talking about not September but actually more than two years from today.

Because that's just garden variety PR damage control about PPE inventory numbers. My question was specifically about the difficulty of acquiring vaccines.

Health Canada's chief medical adviser said today the department is poised to make a decision on whether to authorize a promising COVID-19 vaccine from AstraZeneca in the coming days.

 

Dr. Supriya Sharma told the House of Commons health committee that the regulator has received all the necessary scientific information from the company but is still looking into questions about labelling and the product monograph — the information disseminated by Health Canada to medical professionals about how and when a vaccine should be administered and in what groups.

Alberta reported 273 new cases of COVID-19 on Monday and another 16 deaths from the illness.

 

Though the deaths were reported to Alberta Health over the last 24 hours, 10 of them happened in December, one in January, and four in February.

Less than 6% of BC's COVID-19 fines have been paid

https://dailyhive.co...-tickets-unpaid

 

More than 1,000 COVID-19 violation tickets have been issued by police in British Columbia between August 21, 2020, and February 12, 2021. But as of mid-February, less than 6% of those fines have been paid.

B.C. records 1,425 new cases of COVID-19 and 8 more deaths over the weekend

 

There are 223 people in hospital with the disease, 66 of whom are in intensive care

unfortunately that makes us the highest current new infection rate in the entire country.  adjusted for population.

White House testimony: Moderna is in the process of 'onboarding' another fill-finish partner (along w Catalent) for its vaccine in the US. Moderna says it aims to double output to 40M+ doses per month by April. Pfizer says it's more than doubling to 13M+ doses per week by mid-March

I wonder if a government with a track record of lying about procurement of supplies would continue to do that. Nah. That's a conspiracy theory, so there bigot.

Stephen Malthouse, MD    Denman Island, BC ...Surprisingly, the recommendation for reducing COVID-19 morbidity and mortality by supplementing with vitamin D, a measure that is supported by high-quality research, has been absent from your frequent public broadcasts and professional bulletins.7  Optimizing nutrition is a convenient, inexpensive, and safe method of improving immune resistance and has been confirmed through numerous studies for both prevention and treatment of COVID-19. As far as I am aware, you have never mentioned something as simple as vitamin D supplements for our most vulnerable citizens. Yet, it was the promise to protect these same citizens that was used to justify the lockdown of a healthy population and the closure of businesses...

The timeline for B.C.’s COVID-19 Vaccination Plan is dependent on vaccine supply and availability. The federal government is working to obtain as much vaccine as possible to distribute to provinces and territories.

Ahead of the official announcement from Premier François Legault this afternoon, Radio-Canada is reporting that all Quebecers over 80 will be able to get their first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine starting next week, while people between the ages of 70 and 79 who live in Montreal can also get the shot.

 

Legault will be making the announcement at 1 p.m. from the Olympic Stadium, one of several mass vaccination sites opening up in Montreal. Other sites include Palais des Congrès (already in operation) and Decarie Square, where, according to Cult MTL sources, the vaccine is being administered to Montrealers over 70 (by special appointment) as soon as this Friday.
