IIRC marmots were the cause of the mini outbreak about a year ago. Fucking marmots!
There's actually an argument that marmots may have brought a wave of bubonic plague in the 1200s before the famous outbreak in the 1300s. Some recent research indicating a sizable outbreak that wasn't recorded as such because it was in the more sparsely populated areas and probably acted as the seed for the major outbreak that happens later. There are descriptions of the Siege of Baghdad in the 1250s that seem to have the plague hitting it. You've got contact with the plague-infected marmot area of Mongolia, you've got some major outbreaks. Then a couple of generations later you get the big explosion.

Just stating the obvious. Closing of mass transportation should be number one priority on the list of measures to combat any pandemic.
Based on what evidence?

But fine, as long as the big box stores and patios stay open.

I believe that one can achieve herd immunity with far less than 100% vaccination. The virus simply dwindles and fades out if its opportunities to continue to spread are curtailed at even the 70% level.
Depends on the R0 value of the virus and the efficacy of the vaccines/immunity acquired through infection. The predictions seem to average around 70% but estimates run from mid 50s to mid 80s.

Only one problem. This virus is mutating to be more virulent, not less. The figure of 70% applies to a normal virus which when it mutates becomes less aggressive. This one becomes more aggressive.
Covid is seeming to follow the history of other major pandemics. The 1918 flu was most deadly during its second wave.

What's the conflict of interest with Tam?
She is employed by both Canada and the WHO
Early on in pandemic this was a massive conflict of interest

We have seen so many times Trudeau is weaksauce on Chinese politics so it really is not surprising
There are entire threads / debates on it if you look back

I know. I read about something like that especially Trudeau being in bed with China but you know the communists, I mean liberals were bitching that it's just right wing nonsense.
