If it weren’t for the snow and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, I would emigrate to Alberta, Can

It'll be interesting to see how this plays out.

Oh, boy. That article actually dared to mention "Sweden"? Now proven to be an epic failure in their pandemic handling!

Until it mutates to become the black plague. Hello, wave 4.

In the coming weeks, Alberta’s health system will take steps to make sure that it is ready to support all patients, including those with COVID-19 and other respiratory viruses, like influenza, which health officials expect to increase this year.

People need to understand the written word and what it means when words like “and” and “like” are used.

It doesn’t say they think COVID “IS” a flu. Big difference

They'll be treating it as just another respiratory virus, like the flu. This is great news. With 70% of people already vaccinated in Alberta, it makes perfect sense.

Folding it into respiratory diseases and flu tracking is the eventual end game we want. (Although this should mean we do a better job with the flu and not we bring COVID down to that level.)
I don't think we are at that level of baseline resistance yet, but just because I think Kenney is doing this too soon (and trying to score culture war points with it) doesn't meant the actual end goal is crazy.

Ford is going to win and Kenney is going to be dismantled if cases and hospitalizations rise.

That was for 75.6% of only ELIGIBLE Albertans who have received ta least one dose. It is going to be closer to 60% of the Population in Alberta. Does not make any sense whatsoever to treat it just like a "Flu" just to appease the anti-vaxxer base!!
