In March Jason Kenney bragged that Alberta had 1900 ICU beds but he was forced to shut the whole province down when we used 8% of those beds for Covid. I guess we are supposed to believe that adding 8% over the usual total is more than the system can bear. It seems odd that […]
This plot showed up on Ivor Cummins Twitter feed. I do not know where it came from or how they rated countries on lockdown stringency. To truth check this I looked at the extreme ends of the scale. According to their rankings Chile had the hardest lockdown while Finland and Estonia had the easiest restrictions. […]
I have discussed Sweden many times in the past. Sweden responded very differently than the rest of the world. The Swedish response had 2 defining characteristics that were the exact opposite of what has gone on in Canada and the rest of the western world. Swedish citizens were treated as adults. The Swedish government openly […]
I read the Calgary Herald yesterday. As per usual the paper was full of misleading and panic inducing stories. There was this story praising New Zealand’s response to Covid 19. https://calgaryherald.com/news/dont-like-canadas-new-mandatory-quarantine-its-part-of-why-new-zealand-is-now-back-to-normal/wcm/d6717546-3f2c-44c1-8323-4dc0d2f38047 It is true that New Zealand has had very few problems from Covid 19 but at what cost? New Zealand has completely closed their […]
I saw this article yesterday. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/alberta-jason-kenney-covid-19-restrictions-hinshaw-1.5894080 These two sentences from the article caught my eye immediately. “The total of active cases in Alberta has been dropping slowly but steadily since it peaked at 21,138 on Dec. 13. That was a day after Kenney’s UCP government introduced tighter restrictions”. The CBC was trying to link the drop in infections to the […]
A friend sent me this and asked me if I knew anything about it. I confessed that I had not heard anything about it so I set about searching the internet for confirmation this had happened. First I tried google and all I found were stories about Italian restaurants opening with restrictions after the spring […]
A few days ago I showed this plot from Sweden. Sweden is naturally heading towards herd immunity. This was their strategy all along and they were mocked for it. Sweden was not the only country pursuing this strategy. A friend sent me this article. Sero survey: Delhi past 50%, near herd immunity against Covid-19 | […]
Yesterday the Prime Moron announced that we would soon see new travel restrictions for international and inter provincial travel. https://www.ctvnews.ca/health/coronavirus/pm-warns-canadians-to-expect-more-travel-restrictions-soon-1.5282638 Trudeau wants to put restrictions on people who come here legally when he has no problem with people who come here illegally. This is not surprising since you cannot be a Trudeau without disdain for […]
On Sunday this I read this article in the Calgary sun. https://calgarysun.com/news/local-news/leger-poll/wcm/59acfde9-6e4e-407a-af96-1b47f00f39ea Dr. Ilan Schwartz is lamenting that 35% of Albertan say they do not plan to get vaccinated. He attributes this to Albertans being horribly misinformed. He cautions us by saying “Albertans must be critical of where they’re getting information on COVID-19 vaccines and […]
My brother sent me this interview this morning. I don’t know the interviewer but I have seen Dr. Madej before. I do not know much about Dr. Madej except that she is a vaccine critic. She is among a group of MDs who have been openly critical of the experimental mRNA vaccines. Dr. Madej is […]
