Wow… every other study done says the exact opposite. All symptoms are more mild and similar to the common cold.

Hospitals beds are more instead of less in South Africa, and people who are in hospital were tested positive for unrelated reasons for hospitalization.

Here you can compare the most common symptoms of Covid, alpha, and Delta. The symptoms aren’t similar until you get down to the bottom 4. Fever, coughing, fatigue.

Considering politicians place their investments into blind trusts I highly doubt that is the case. Especially since lockdowns hurt the economy.

Scientists no more speak with one voice than CPers do. Try reading some research instead of automatically believing whichever scientist the media wants to shove down your throat.

Get some ####ing information about the person you're arguing with, or shove it where the sun don't shine.

It's so obvious you sheep
It wouldn't be the first time every government in the world conspired to destroy their economies. Read up on the causes of the Great Depression, and specifically on Smoot-Hawley and the retaliatory tariff wars.

Just because it's ridiculous doesn't mean it doesn't happen.

But you are obviously the one who's ignorant because you actually researched the data instead of panicking because Global News told you to.

I’d invite you out for a beer but I doubt you are allowed in any establishment following the REP.

But maybe I’ll wave the next time I see you guys on a march down 17th ave. Should be due for another one soon, no?

When he’s not busy dedicating his life to the study of moral philosophy, our very own Jay Random is a certified online expert of epidemiology and political science.

What a gift. He’s done the research folks.

Alberta isn't locked down and hasn't been since the initial outbreak almost two years ago.

Yeah, things are changed, you have to show documentation to do certain things, and I'm fine with that. I've learnt to live with it, most people have, but we absolutely cannot allow things roll out of control that everyones healthcare is in jeopardy.

No, lockdowns didn't permanently stop anything but the messaging has never been that, it's been simple to slow the spread, and that's what they do.

Burying ones head in the sand going "LEARN TO LIVE WITH IT!" is nonsense, ignorant nonsense
I'm not shouting at anyone to "learn to live with it". That's the reality and that's from scientists. In fact this has been suggested since as early as 2020, but, most serious people in the field have accepted and been preaching this earlier this year. It's mutating far too fast and we didn't do a good enough job vaccinating the developing world.

https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-00396-2
https://www.cbc.ca/news/health/pande...emic-1.5919475

There's an absolute ton of material out there, this is just a small sample size.


Instead of shutting down society for a virus that we have effective vaccines we're going to have to build up our medical infrastructure to handle the occasional wave of unvaxxed people who clog up the ICU's. I really feel for people who can't get the jab and want to, but, we can't shut down planet Earth in perpetuity for a small group of people. Maybe that sounds harsh but that's the pragmatic reality. Feel free to say I want to kill old people and etc if it makes you feel better to classify me as "the enemy" or "heartless". But we need to start accepting reality. I used to think my 4 and 5 year old would only know about COVID through an email journal I'm writing for them. Now I realize they'll grow up with it as part of their lexicon. Every year there will likely be a new strain and a new booster. We sadly have added a new more dangerous flu to our existing seasonal illnesses.
