Ontario is over-cautious...

[Fun For All]

The area I live in, Middlesex-London, had 7 new cases yesterday, 10 the day before and 15 the day before that, is been going this way for awhile now...is that a lot in an area of 500,000 people?

This re-opening plan that started a few months back has been slow slow slow...

I'm sort of wondering about this. I'm a strong advocate to be safe and what not, but all we hear is the headline number of new infections. How many of those are requiring hospitalization? Wasn't part of the point of lockdowns to stop the hospital system from being overwhelmed?

Then I read this:

Getting Back to Normal Is Only Possible Until You Test Positive

I was ultracareful for 18 months. Then I got COVID.

So, I'm still being very cautious. I wouldn't feel comfortable eating in a restaurant, seeing a concert/movie or even catching the Raps, Leafs, Argos or Jays.

If they simply focus on "infections" we're doomed. It's the number of people in hospital and ICUs. Of which, the vast majority are the unvaccinated.

Unvaccinated and partially vaccinated infections made up 55% of Thursday’s tally despite forming only 22% of Ontario’s population. No surprise there!

Cases are now doubling every 15 days. Until the kids get their shots we need to hold things as is. The problem with selective lockdown is stupid people travel increasing rates of transmission.

Hospitalizations are holding at the moment. Especially ICU admissions. But that can change. From what I've seen the big spreaders continue to be schools, churches, and the like. Its less about stranger danger and more about familiar surroundings and people letting their guard down over hours.

The vast majority in our hospitals and ICU's are NOT unvaccinated. That being said we have a reported total of 251 people in the province hospitalized with Covid-19. I wouldn't exactly call that alarming.

Kids should not be getting the shot.

There's 3.6 times the number of partially and unvaccinated in the ICU and 1.6 times the number in hospital.

In hospital ICU

Unvaccinated 62
Partially vaccinated 4
Fully vaccinated 18



In hospital but not the ICU


Unvaccinated 89
Partially vaccinated 15
Fully vaccinated 64

Damn right they should. The little germ factories are a major speader of the virus. And the vaccines are safe. Get em all stuck, mandate for school attendance. Then by March break the nation will be in great shape.

According to KD logic, the real story is a single shot of the vaccine is 4x more effective than 2 shots.

KD lives in his own little world where he gets to make up stats and invent his own facts as well as he has a medical license and knows who should and should not get vaxxed. This all is taking place in his own little KD (not to be mistaken with Kraft Dinner) world.
