Lots of proof we're actually getting there now. Molnupiravir is showing lots of promise as a treatment for mild to moderate COVID-19: What is Covid-19 Oral Drug Molnupiravir: Latest News, Treating for Patients and Results | KnowInsiders We also have a Canadian company that's developed a...

24 people out of 33 million is 0.00007273% (and I'm only going with confirmed cases because that's where the hard data is). That's a little over one in a million. Which means, as it stands right now, if you were infected with Covid-19 and recovered, you would have a one in a million chance of...

There have only been 24 documented cases of reinfection. Only one- an 89-year-old Dutch woman who had cancer- has died. Several reinfections have been milder than the first one. Considering we've had this pandemic since March and had 33 million infected with the disease worldwide (that have...

I'd start by inspecting these workplaces first. The amount of mask slacking that goes on there tells me the workers don't get inspected enough, since they would have better compliance if they actually feared inspection. Maybe you would not get an "exact" number but you at least get enough...

I feel like this is just theater. Moving into Stage 3 was going to bring another uptick in cases. It's what happened just about everywhere else, so why Ontario thought it wasn't going to happen is beyond me. More to the point: since the government does not release data concerning the actual...

Here's what I do know: The Ontario government does not reveal any data about where people contract COVID-19, other than recorded cases in healthcare and long-term care homes. We do not hear about cases at nightclubs, at strip clubs, at restaurants, at schools, at malls, etc. unless it is...

Believe what you want and treat the virus as you like. However, there's plenty of reasons to be positive, with the knowledge we're almost on the other side of this. Deaths and hospitalizations have been trending downward just about everywhere in the world since the spring peaks, lots of...

...and the data are faulty. We don't test everyone, so we don't know how many people truly contracted the disease over the entire population. We also don't even do a random sample where we could estimate that number. The only numbers that are somewhat accurate are deaths and hospitalizations...

The headline is shocking, but the bigger question for me is "how many people would have survived had COVID-19 not been around?" It's one thing to say only 6% of people had COVID-19 as the only reason for their deaths, but it's another to say "COVID-19 caused only a 6% uptick in deaths".

I'm personally tired of all this "blame young people" stuff. It makes the health people sound like crotchety old fogies who are out of touch and have nothing to do but complain. Seriously, it's getting ridiculous. What is never brought up is how many serious cases can be directly tied to a...

Which also makes me more confident all these protests that have been going on won't result in an uptick as well.

Lots of good news all around, I think. I always thought we'd be out of this sooner rather than later and I still believe that. Personally, I'd rather develop a treatment than a vaccine. While a vaccine is still important, at least with a treatment we're not relying solely on eradication as a...

I wouldn't be able to answer the base question. I can only say for myself, being an out of shape dude, working as a janitor running around a factory for eight hours a day had me exhausted by the weekend, which I don't think was enough time for me to recover. So I imagine that SPs, who are in...

I'm not sure...however, given it's now 10 days since the Trinity Bellwoods party (well within the range of when people develop symptoms) and there's no uptick, I'm pretty confident that gathering didn't cause a spike in cases.

My thing too. It's easy for politicians, health officials, professors, researchers and other "experts" to tell us to be patient and to fearmonger and suggest "we'll be dealing with the plague for the next decade" when they're still drawing a paycheck. The many of us who are not simply don't have...
