Current 7-day Covid-19 cases per 100k

Numbers continue to slowly increase.

On the bright side, Waterloo Region might be dropping off the top 10 soon, hopefully.

No shown, but Middlesex-London PHU tossed a whole bunch of Moderna into the garbage. It's not good, especially considering they're not stellar when it comes to the vaccine rollout.

That's why I think O'Toole's "idea" is more honest with the public (although he's just parroting what is hidden in Trudeau framework), but the media mostly won't pick up on this. Why are they giving Trudeau a free pass?

See below, 2nd paragraph that I am quoting.

https://www.canada.ca/en/government/publicservice/covid-19/required-vaccination-what-it-means-for-the-core-public-service.html

I get a 404. Anybody else? Has the page actually disappeared? The plot thickens…

Yes, this is crazy. It’s dishonest to say it’s a mandate and then say we need to figure out how to accommodate the crybabies who can’t take a needle.

Also this kind of invalidates what I said before, that O’Toole was just waiting to see what Trudeau said so he could say the opposite: he’s really saying the same thing but with an honest headline.

Interesting. Global News has some insight on this:

Quote:Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who is campaigning for re-election, says a notice posted online advising of “alternative” options for federal workers who refuse the COVID-19 vaccine was taken down because it was “erroneous.”


The Liberal leader spoke with journalists from the campaign trail and said the notice was not accurate given a policy announced by his government just before the writ drop which said vaccination will be mandatory for federal workers.

“That letter was erroneous and didn’t reflect government policy so it was brought down by public servants,” Trudeau said when questioned on the removal of the notice from the website of the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat.

He did not answer questions on whether he or any of his staff asked for the notice to be removed.

I am thinking it was re-active deletion rather than erroneous.

RE: The COVID-19 pandemic - jamincan - 08-20-2021

It's interesting to me how Kingston has remained so low through all this and I wonder what might be behind that.


RE: The COVID-19 pandemic - panamaniac - 08-20-2021

Early on, they were giving a lot of credit to the local officer of health. I wonder, however, whether once the university emptied out, Kingston wasn't a bit isolated?
