Easy Pink Floyd for me.

The virus, especially the delta variant, is surging in the Republican-led states of Florida, Texas and Missouri. You could easily mistake a map of vaccination rates across the country for a map of the 2020 presidential election returns. Almost all U.S. counties below 20% vaccination rates lean Republican, and almost all above 65% lean Democratic. According to CDC data, the 20 states with the highest vaccination rates all voted for Biden. Republicans have loudly celebrated their “success” at discouraging vaccinations. At the largest Republican gathering this spring, the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Dallas, the press reported that “attendees cheered and clapped that Biden had not been able to 'sucker' people and had missed his goal of vaccinating 70% of adults.” so wild, it’s literally killing off their voter base.

A shiny new thing to distract the fan base for a short period of time I’m assuming.

Age is also a factor, it seems the vaccines can sometimes produce less of an immune response in older populations (in the example provided by the poster, a nursing home). https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.03.03.21251066v1 In response to Pfizer vaccine Results While the majority of participants in both groups produced specific IgG antibody titers against SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, titers were significantly lower in elderly participants. Although the increment of antibody levels after the second immunization was higher in elderly participants, the absolute mean titer of this group remained lower than the <60 group. After the second vaccination, 31.3 % of the elderly had no detectable neutralizing antibodies in contrast to the younger group, in which only 2.2% had no detectable neutralizing antibodies.

Edit

Way to put words in his mouth. Don't bother arguing with this guy he'll just make all kinds of logical leaps and defensive sidesteps.

Mid 30's teacher here still waiting.

Registered drop-ins yes, POP UPS no.

That’s like.... one Elementary school classroom worth of people.

I wouldn’t be sad if Bonnie was replaced by someone with some semblance of logic and leadership. Reminds me of an old Robin Williams joke about police in the UK that don’t have guns “Stop! Or I’ll say stop again!”

https://www.google.ca/amp/s/globalnews.ca/news/7750304/covid-canada-new-cases-us/ Canada’s COVID-19 case rate tops U.S. as country continues to lag in vaccinations We’re number one! We’re number one!

Highly doubt it, our provincial leaders have their heads DEEP in the sand.

Beta boy Dix and buy my book Bonnie are proving themselves to be woefully inadequate as strong leaders at this time.

https://www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/british-columbia/article-bc-to-limit-screening-for-covid-19-variants-of-concern/ We're already the worst province in terms of testing rates among the big four provinces by a huge margin, might as well double down on our lack of data. Edit - Although I guess it doesn't matter, it's not like they would act on what they found anyways.

The Bonnie and Dix duo leading us off a cliff.

Even if we accounted for Ontario being 3x our population and moved our test level from 2 million and change to 6 million and change, we'd still be 6 million tests below what Ontario has done.

BC has done 1.5 million less tests than Alberta (and Alberta has a smaller population).

Honestly getting pretty sick of her.

https://www.google.ca/amp/s/www.cbc.ca/amp/1.5976074 "The most transmissive variants of COVID-19 are ultimately going to take over. We've seen that in other jurisdictions and we expect to see it here," he said. But he pushed back against public pressure to implement stronger measures to control the spread of these variants. Don’t expect any changes. The almighty Dix has spoke. Business as usual.

Took me two seconds to find articles about professional baseball players, basketball players, football players, UFC fighters, and triathletes with long haul symptoms who have never returning to prior form due to COVID. Some of these players may never be the same again.

Thank you. =)

Glad to see this guy living up to his name at least.

Yeah they got in before the current plan was scrapped due to AZ recommendations. Apparently new details being announced this week.
