Deadly Wuhan Coronavirus

cosmic joke

Honorable
ontario is big province. simply look at a map some day. it irks me when government officials, of most any stripe but in particular those with stripe who can be described by the phrase 'i am the all and mighty oz', without much thought say 'ontario has so and so many cases of covid19' when in fact most all those infected are in the city known as the 'the big smoke'/'toronto the beautiful'/'GTA', in where more than half the people of this province reside. there are none in our city nor in hundreds of other villages towns and cities in this province. no one i know argues that covid is a scam, that it will magically disappear, that you can treat this virus by shoving an ultraviolet light up you ass. pretty well everyone i know and see from going shopping wears a mask, haven't seen an anti-maskers yet, keeps their distance or otherwisedly allows another to pass by before resuming their walk. i don't know, common sense seems to win the day methinks. there's a virus out there, wear a mask, keep a reasonable distance from those not in 'mine/your bubble' and simple hygiene works for keeping quite a few manner of ills at bay.

shite! slipped off this soap box.

I don't mean to rain on this alleged "good news" but it's a long way to go before this pandemic is over, none of these experimental fast-track vaccines are going to be the magic shot to make it all go away and bring life back to once it was...I'm actually being very objective in my view given the track record of vaccine development...

Even in Canada now, this Marxist radical great reset agenda is taking advantage of this pandemic to grab power and control over our societies...

Let's see what independent analyses of the Phase III trial data tell us about the efficacy and safety of these vaccines. I need to hold on to hope that science will save us before the global economy completely collapses.

You can be sure I'm going to wait a while and let all the guineas have at it, keeping in mind I've never got a flu shot before, I seriously doubt I will get this miraculously fast-tracked covid shot...

I never been into conspiracy theories but as my twin girls pointed out it was fast and announcement came after the election.. but yeah the timing of a over 90% efficient vaccine is highly suspect.

This isn't about any conspiracy theories, just common sense I mean I sort of understand why they can't make any flu vaccine that works all the time every year but then here we go with covid-19 which is similar to the flu and suddenly they have this magic potion that's so effective and they created so fast...It just sounds too good to be true and highly suspect like you said...

I know I'm asking for it by saying this but, how did we get to this point where liberals are the ones forcefully demanding increased restrictions on freedom and free speech?

The sociopathic "mind engineers" who write the narratives broadcast by the corporate news media call that "political capture." They realized that they could use the same PsyOps techniques on the American public that they use against the populations of foreign adversaries, and make people think whatever they want, as long as they couch the narratives in the right language.

So the Democrats aren't liberals anymore, they're warmongering right-wingers with fascist agendas now. Where they once opposed the endless US mass murder operations abroad, now they support them. Where they once found McCarthyism revolting and xenophobic, they now see Russian meddling in their breakfast cereal. Where once they advocated free speech and public policy debates, they now brand anyone who disagrees with them as racists/sexists/etc. and deploy censorship to shame and silence opposing viewpoints.

None of this is accidental. The billionaire right-wing oligarchs who own and rule this nation including 99.9% of the news media, made this happen by buying up the entire journalism industry and retasking it to create a multinational consensus for the eerie and hellish Orwellian civilization that we now live in.

And it's worked so well that now we can see a more passionate and vocal anti-war movement on the right, than on the left.

Actual liberals - people like me who oppose war and advocate free speech and fight for a populist aka representational government instead of the nightmarish corporate oligarchy that we now have, no longer have a major political party or even a major newspaper...no voice at all in our society. People who think that society should exist for the benefit of the populace, and not just the billionaires, are complete outsiders now. There is no opposition party to the corporate coup d'etat of America; it's finished, we lost.

COVID-19 in Canada - 'I don't want to be here': PM Trudeau tells 'sick and tired' Canadians to 'immediately' cut contacts, as the country teeters on edge of crisis

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had a stern and emotional message to Canadians as the country sees COVID-19 cases “spiking massively” - everyone needs to reduce their contacts “immediately.”

“I don’t want to be here, you don’t want me to be here – we’re all sick and tired of COVID-19. But this virus is not going away any time soon,” the PM started his message to Canadians.

“We need to do everything we can right now to slow the spread of COVID-19, to stop this spike in its tracks,” Trudeau said. “We are now going to have to really tighten up once again.”

“This is frustrating because I know we’ve all heard stories of people who have thrown up their hands and are not doing their part anymore, and it’s tempting for all of us to say, OK well maybe I can loosen up a bit more too, but the reality is we need to go in the opposite direction.”

The prime minister also spoke about how the number of COVID-19 cases in Canada are overwhelming hospitals, putting extensive pressure on frontline workers in the healthcare system.

When asked about the Christmas holiday, the prime minister said that a “normal Christmas” is going to be “out of the question” this year but the extent of the regulations depends on the actions that Canadians take right now to limit contacts.

“I think the arrival of imminent vaccines on the horizon is both motivating people to say, OK we’re almost there, and others to say, OK that’s it I’m done, I’m just going to wait,” Trudeau said. “We’re not in a fair situation and all we can do is try and be there for each other as best we can.”

“If you were planning to see friends this weekend, maybe don’t. If there was a birthday party or a gathering for dinner you were thinking about doing, don’t do it.”

Although B.C. and Alberta governments have not adopted the federal COVID Alert app, the prime minister still urged people in those province to download it. He said he is still “hopeful” that local authorities will be able to provide that code for people to be identified as COVID-19 cases in the app, but also stressed it can still notify people in B.C. and Alberta if they have been exposed to someone with COVID-19, who inputted a code into the app that they received from a test in another province.

It looks like they'll be rolling out the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines next month, and plan on inoculating the general population by the summer or fall. This could finally be over by this time next year, possibly even a little bit sooner.

Dr. Moncef Slaoui, chief scientific adviser for Operation Warp Speed:

"I think my statement has always been that by the middle of 2021, we would be able to have vaccinated the U.S. population. And I think that statement remains in a worst-case scenario, if we only have these two vaccines that work, we may not be able to have produced 600 million doses between now and June. So it may extend by a quarter or so."
