Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

Given we’ve been using PCR testing with a 50% false positive rate, this years numbers are quite lower.
“% positivity” is a silly measure to use to compare influenza in previous years to COVID-19 in the past two. Way more laboratory tests have been performed (denominator) for COVID-19 than for any past flu season — it’s entirely apples to oranges.
When all you look for is one thing all you find is one thing.
I said in January or February that the authorities will wait until the end of the influenza season, declare victory and slink away.
We should be so lucky. Last I saw, incompetent halfwit Top Parasite Tam was saying everyone still would need to wear masks even after the vaccination targets were met, for whatever reason. “Science”, I expect.
I don’t think so. They’ve got everyone so hopped up on covidium that lockdowns are never ending.
james, this old man is sick of living like prisoner in my own country. Time to revolt.
You can’t get into ICU without going into ER, so:

Inpatient admissions for pneumonia/ILI (absolute counts) to participating ACES hospitals
January 4, 2020 (i.e., “pre” COVID), over 1,000 admissions, including over 100 children.
April 24th, 2021 (i.e., “third wave”): under 900, SIX KIDS.
Yeah, “crisis” and “younger”, my ass…
I believe the death rate in Alberta has kept pace with neither positive cases nor with hospital stats…it’s been pretty flat around five or fewer for a while now.
Presuming vaccinations have any effect, it’s fairly clear the severity of the thing has diminished considerably, yet they won’t admit it and ease off. Which is why only the weak-minded trust the people who kept screwing up by the numbers.
This is why I get a tad annoyed at all the non-leftist, anti-mask-lockdown types who keep going off on Ford/Trudeau/whomever about vaccinations and third waves and whatnot. As long as we accept the concept of a third wave, rather than a normal “spring surge”, as I’ve seen it called, we continue to lose ground.
There will be no more “waves”. The virus is now endemic, regardless of what any health authority thinks or will do. It will have the regular ebb-and-flow of other seasonal viruses, with ongoing mutations and variable mortality effects. Protect older people, and promote good health for everyone else.
Conspiracy moment: it has the strongest effects on the obese/diabetic/respiratory-compromised. One might say “typical North Americans”…
