I’m kinda miffed as to why they’re reopening things with still so many cases per day? Why not give it another two weeks and get back below 100 (and maybe start getting some second jabs in)? If it goes back up to 500+ per day is there gonna be another “circuit breaker”?

We were certainly slow out of the gate, but caught up fairly quickly...

and i was just going to post ... but the short term trend looks like we may have hit the wall ... ever since Canada had that 488K vaccinated in one day last week the daily vaccinations have really tailed off. Now a lot of that hopefully is just the long weekend and reporting lag but I sure hope we arent into the hesitancy cohort for first doses now.

I saw reports Friday that this wall was expected in Ontario and Quebec (tail off has been huge there) where hesitancy is higher but not in BC ... but BC has gone from averaging 56K per week to around 43K (edit) 46K the past 4 days

Inner Mongolia is not fucking around.

3 new cases on the island and less than 300 province wide - That's good news.

Back to normal!

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Contrast this with BC lol

 

[jstewismybastardson]

Back to normal!

NO THIS IS NOT NORMAL !

Normal would be allowing all us canadians to day trip across the border and fill all our garbage bags with that sweet cheap arco gas like we used to without having to do a 14 day quarantine after driving back !!!

Good, good.

Meanwhile, Melbourne is going into a fourth lockdown to control COVID-19 variants.

We were hoping to get to Maldives for Christmas - they were doing so well with cases, they were offering vaccine-vacations.
When India started going nuts, a whole bunch of rich folks from India escaped to the Maldives - and of course brought the variant. Now Maldives is fucked.
last week daily cases hit almost 2,200 - population of the entire island chain is about 500k. As you can imagine, the medical infrastructure was not built for such a surge.
three months ago, they were lily clean.

I'm guessing Dubai will be next, as that's a popular escape destination for SE Asia's rich.

I think the UAE is the most vaccinated place on earth, or one of.

/Their slave population might be different though.

absolute two tiered world there.

I know a guy who went there to get the vaccine early.
He spent three weeks so he could get both shots, was sending back pictures from Petra where he was the ONLY one there. truly amazing.

if you are rich, you got pfizer, if you were a worker that interacted with the rich, you got the chinese vaccine.
not sure what the plan was for regular workers, if any.

medical infrastructure is much better there than the maldives - again, if you are rich.
so they won't be quite so fucked, but there are a lot of unknowingly infected being introduced to the system right now.

I feel like this is worse than the other politicians not following rules because his particular community is pretty much exclusively where outbreaks have been occurring in Canada’s major population centers. Some example to set.

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh apologizes after video shows him breaking COVID-19 rules - National | Globalnews.ca

“Like most Canadians, I’ve done my best to follow public health advice. Coming back from this event, I did not do enough to follow that advice and I’m sorry," Singh said.

That is good. At this point, the US must have 10s of millions of doses just sitting there not being used by dumb, selfish Americans that I hope we'll be shipping off to other places.

It would be beneficial at this point for US to announce that vaccines will be free until August 1st. Adults over 18 not vaccinated by then will have to pay $200 per shot. I bet we'd see a rush of people. It wouldn't be huge, but maybe combined with the increasing number of teens that can now be vaccinated, it just might get us to herd immunity range by the end of summer.

Not likely to happen though.


CORRECTION - Did a little looking...If the US innoculated everyone over the age of 5, apparently we'd still have 460+ million doses left. We should really be sending tons to Canada, Mexico, and others at this point.

I think the million dollar lotteries are the way to go. Nothing sucks idiots in like lotteries. Heck, states have lived on this type of voluntary taxation for decades. Instead of getting people to part with their money with the lure of a million dollar payoff theyre con’ing people to do something for the good of society

Considering they're literally giving them out for free and these idiots are paying real money for a fraudulent vaccine card, I don't think that'd work.

I'm more in agreement with jstew that it'd have to be more of a "what's in it for me"* incentive.

* - because these troglodytes don't see "not killing grandma" as a legitimate incentive.

The doses, or the people?
