Talking a big game...my dad used to say if you can't dazzle them with brilliance baffle them with BS. I see a lot of that happening here. "cited" "the majority" "refuted" "unwarranted" Did someone get a dictionary for Christmas? Well at least he/she is reading something. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So please, where have you "cited how the concern is unwarranted"? I'll wait. Also, where do you get the majority from? I'd like that stat too please. Ask Gurn. It was clear evidence that our hospitals aren't close to being overwhelmed. Nor were they ever. There was also mention of construction of additions if covid ended up being bad. That afaik didn't occur. The majority of Canadians want restrictions removed. 2/3rds according to a recent poll. That I won't need to source as its a major headline. Multiple provinces have caved as of course they had to as they're not needed or wanted. So we're waiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just over 1/2 of Canadians wanted restrictions lifted prior to the Trucker’s convoy. There has been a notable shift as a result of the protests, and not the one you were hoping for.

Still here. one source from some study about how long to add some beds, to the existing totals; done by some construction outfit iirc. And it is quite evident that the actual medical authorities are still concerned with spiking numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that says 48% in BC, it also doesn't state what restrictions. As hospitalizations drop, I'm fine dropping some of the restrictions they put on for omicron. That doesn't mean I think we should drop everything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By summer 1919, the worst had run its course, but winter 1919/20 was a final wave that wasn't as deadly, according to some historians. https://www.britannica.com/story/how-long-did-the-flu-pandemic-of-1918-last Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They want the freedom to go out and feel somewhat safe and they don't want to die a horrible death. You don't think that the lives of seniors are every bit as valuable as yours? Really, what impact do things like a mask or vax mandate really have on your life? Isn't caring about the people around us worth a little inconvenience? Or is that too much to ask of you? 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You and your grandmother don't count as the majority. Even your poll reflects the fact that here in BC we are not in favour of (along with Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Atlantic Canada). Yeeha, Alberta (figures). Polls can be skewed...I'd like to see how many people were included in this poll because no one I know of has participated. I mean, if 112 people in Kelowna, Abbotsford and Lethbridge are polled, sure. OK. "Majority". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
