Finally starting to learn….
It is fear mongering, it is unnecessary, and it’s a power grab. 99+% survival rate. If at risk? Stay home. The rest of the planet needs to get back to living.
@Ken Kubesh The infection mortality rate of covid is 0.2-0.3%. What you are quoting is the confirmed case numbers. That’s an artifact of reporting and testing protocols, not a representation of community wide infection rates.
@Ken Kubesh By way of comparison the flu has an infection mortality rate of 0.1%. That puts it in perspective.
p.s. Sorry for the double reply. My first longer reply was blocked by google censor-bots. I’m seeing if splitting it up get’s past the poorly trained AI.
@Ken Kubesh BUT THEY LABELED EVERYONE THAT DIED OF THE FLU COVID AS WELL BECAUSE THE FLU IS ALSO A STRAIN OF COVID. SO HOW MANY REAL COVID 19 DEATHS WERE THERE? NOT MANY AND MOSTLY ALL ELDERLY.
The google censor bots are having a field day on this thread. I’ve had two comments blocked. All I did was quote facts and provide sources. You can check if your comment is blocked by viewing the thread in Chrome’s incognito mode. Google try to stop misinformation by training AI to block stuff, but they block factual information and let actual misinformation pass right through. It’s crazy.
@Jason Murray This article has mortality risk by age:
Medium, “How much ‘normal’ risk does Covid represent?”, University of Cambridge
I can’t provide a link because it will be blocked. You’ll have to google it.
If it is as bad as you say, then why are you forcing our children back to school? You could have spent the past six months working with educators to develop quality online alternatives.
THEY WANTED YOU HOME UNABLE TO WORK OR PAY YOUR BILLS, SO THAT THE COUNTRY GOES BROKE AND YOU BECOME DEPENDANT ON THE GOVERNMENT FOR YOUR NEEDS AND DICTATOR TRUDEAU CAN THEN RUN YOUR LIFE. THIS IS HOW SOCIALISM STARTS.

@Heather11268 Didn’t anyone ever tell you that lead paint is not for human consumption?
@Julie Gill “Communism and Russia are by no means synonymous. Russia merely occupies the unfortunate position of being Communism’s first victim. Communism is synonymous with world revolution, and seeks the destruction of all nations, including abolition of patriotism, religion, marriage, the family, private property, and all political and civil liberties, and the establishment of a world-wide dictatorship of the so-called proletariat, which is an autocratic self-constituted dictatorship by a small group of self-perpetuating revolutionists.”
Excellent comment!
Hash tjat up with a compilation of Police brutality an ya hav a winner!
Ya. The consequences of the lock down. Drug use, domestic abuse, suicides, financial crisis, homelessness. What a time to have a corupt government.
You forgot a consequence. The virus is stopped.
@mdo686 You think lockdowns stop a virus? LOL. Hawaii, New Zealand, and Peru would like to have a word with you
@mdo686 If you bother to examine the source data for yourself, you’d discover that Manitoba likely never really had its outbreak of the virus yet, based on the per capita rate of COVID active cases. It’s getting it now. Once that rate gets to somewhere between 30 to 40 per 100,000, the outbreak will begin to recede. That’s the lesson from several other provinces, at any rate.
@Call Me Ishmael It’s not a 100% fix but it needs to be done to have any chance of containment and control of the virus. OBVIOUSLY!
mdo686 the virus that has a 99.7 % survival rate? Come on.. if you want to lock yourself up and live in fear, do it. Everyone should have the FREEDOM of choice.
The consequences of our behaviour are very real Pallister 🙂
What is the context of this? What is the “last few weeks” he is talking about?
The active case count in the province has gone up significantly, from 6.86 per 100,000 on August 5th to 28.84 per 100,000 on August 24th (I haven’t checked the national dataset for the most recent couple of days).
It is my supposition, based on the curve of the COVID active case rate from other provinces, that Manitoba never really had its outbreak of the virus yet. It’s getting it now. If the other provinces are any guide, the active case rate will peak at somewhere between 30 to 40 per 100,000, after which the rate will decline as the virus recedes.
The real danger is what the government has become
Oh yeah. Do you love me? 😍💋 💝💖❤️
Still with the BS, huh?
What BS………..
when someone comes out and says a teachable moment, i stop hearing, seems like fear based politics to me, maybe i am wrong, just a thought.
You nailed it.
Trump is Real Dangerous- what he’s done to America in 3 1/2 yrs is horrific
