-DLC- Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Daniel Combs, UBC Epidemiologist just now (summary): (Where are we heading as a Province over the next month in this?): He said he hates to be an alarmist, but "pretty bad" That stricter restrictions and people taking them seriously is the way to break the chain of transmission (two ways to do that: "vaccinations and human behaviour"). He said that the NHL protocol has been good - "do you start testing people twice a day?" He questioned how protocol could be changed/updated further and said the only weakness he sees is players living at home. So it seems, at least right now, the only extra steps they could take would be a bubble situation and not living at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, perhaps, they decided to keep it more private so they'd not be bombarded with requests for updates in order to focus on the business at hand. This team is one to do that....keep their cards close to their chests. Maybe someone got word, leaked it but they didn't really want to explain what they don't quite know yet. I might have to go back out to my sunny world of birds and trees today. I apologize for multiple posts in a row...I want everyone to be safe and not downplay this thing. It isn't "that bad" except it could become so for anyone at this stage in the new surge. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In people in their twenties, the mortality is even three times as high. Those are still low odds, by the way: in Brazil, the risk of death in a Covid patient in their twenties increases from 1 in 2,500 to about 1 in 770." https://www.italy24news.com/technology/5823.html " The study highlights that in all age groups the P.1 variant seems to be associated with higher mortality due to Covid-19. The increase in the rate of deaths appear particularly evident (up to 3 times) in patients aged between 20 and 29 years. This confirms some preliminary observations, according to which the variant P.1 could not only be more contagious, but also more virulent and pathogenic."

One of the things that most who flout the rules don't think of is the effect this is going to have on ER staff who are going to have to decide who is saveable and who they send home to die if ICU's fill up.......which they will in Ontario in a week or two. What a horrifying thing to have to do. There are already severe shortages of oxygen in many hospitals in Brazil. Some patients are simply suffocating with too many for staff to ventilate by hand. It could never happen here, right? Right?!! 1 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 On 4/3/2021 at 9:01 AM, Googlie said: In all fairness Lalji references - and quotes - Dregers tweet and his own interpretation "some Canucks players have become very ill". Then he goes on to say "I'm also being told ...." re the IV home visits. He doesn't say Dreger is the source for that statement. As to "Overdramatization", all that I have read suggests that the Brazil strain is more seriously debilitating, more easily transmissible, and for some groups, more lethal. See: https://www.webmd.com/lung/news/20210324/variants-of-variants-seen-in-covid-ravaged-brazil It feels like Farhan's tweet was overdramatization. Really disappointing to see. I realize that the Brazil strain (I'm sure they're thrilled about the name) is more potent, but you have to consider the demographic that we are talking about here and how healthy they are. Besides that it's just not cool to put out information out there that's made to sound vague but in fact start propagating false news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
