Is this the new, rightie wise-ass crack whenever anyone mentions that Kenney (or DeSantis, or Abbott) has fucked up on COVID?
Why am I not surprised. What are you going to do if another variant hits in the fall and Dougy brings back the mask mandate and more vaccine mandates? OOOOOOOH, the world as you know it will be ending.
yeah sure. old people with one foot in the grave still died “with covid” not because of covid.
stop lying to us
i guess there were ZERO flu deaths right?
ZERO cancer deaths.
ZERO heart attacks.
Bullshit statistics
If that 1000 year old Queen Elizabeth survived Covid, well …. you know
So AB saw a 20.1% increase in covid19 deaths year over year. That was pretty much on par with the rest of Canada.
Jan 1-Jun 6, 2021 9,608 covid deaths in Canada.
Jan 1-Jun 6, 2022 there were 11,405 deaths. An 18.7% increase.

"We're — in this current wave — seeing more deaths per capita than Ontario and Quebec," said Dr. Daniel Gregson, an infectious diseases physician and associate professor at the University of Calgary's Cumming School of Medicine.
