Wow, People Totally Have A Handle On This Coronavirus

As of this writing, Canada has nearly 8,000 dead (7,996) due to the coronavirus.




Oh, this doesn't look good for China:

Beijing dismissed as “ridiculous” a Harvard Medical School study of hospital traffic and search engine data that suggested the new coronavirus may already have been spreading in China last August, and scientists said it offered no convincing evidence of when the outbreak began.

Because China has been so credible at this point.




I'm sure this won't be a problem at all:

Vaccination rates among children have dropped as much as 20 per cent in parts of Canada, ramping up anxieties that the country could face a series of infectious outbreaks while still battling COVID-19.

As public health officials peel back coronavirus restrictions, allowing Canadians to return to a form of pre-pandemic normalcy, pediatricians worry children who are delayed in their vaccination schedules may be at higher risk of contracting vaccine-preventable diseases, such as measles and bacterial meningitis.

Just replace the children as one would replace the elderly we neglected.


Also - isn't the coronavirus killing off people fast enough for you?:

The federal government is asking a judge to extend the deadline for revising its law on medical aid in dying.

A Quebec court found parts of the law unconstitutional last fall, ordering the government to change a provision saying that someone’s death has to be “reasonably foreseeable” to be eligible to end his or her life with a doctor’s help.

The court has already extended the deadline for Parliament to revise the law once, until July 11, but the Liberals say they can’t make changes in time.

It's only money:

Hot dogs cost 27 percent more in Vancouver than Montréal while shoppers in Toronto pay an average $1.43 more for a litre of milk than Winnipeggers. Statistics Canada yesterday detailed spot prices at grocers nationwide with “interesting trends and observations”.
