WTF is it with the Covid-19 cases in ALB & MAN?

No one listening to rules?

Alberta has their fair share of Canadian trumpists. There was a lot of mistrust and suspicion coming out of that province when this all started. IMO, this is the price you pay when you don’t believe in the science and dismiss fact as conspiracy.

I agree with this. Over the summer on two occasions I heard some visitors from ALB say...

"We don't care if we get Covid-19"

Never heard anything that dumb.

Many of these dippoops are working at LNG Canada construction where we had an outbreak late last week with 14 cases, now it is 41 cases. Gotta love these idiot deniers.

Are you working on that site? I was going to mention that to Nighthawk because I remember him mentioning that there was work there. Didn’t realize you worked on that site.

Having a virus circulating around an isolated camp like that is kind of scary. Shutting down those work sites would be devastating for the people relying on the income.

I'll give it a go...

1. He didn't make the comment to "Canadian Government officials", a person claiming to be him said these things during a city council meeting in Edmonton... over the phone.

2. He is the CEO & Medical Director of Western Medical Assessments who provides assessments for lawyers and insurance adjusters. They don't make COVID tests.

3. There are a few of these articles circulating and one of them identify him as the Chairman of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. He is not:

4. G. Edward Griffin (born November 7, 1931) is an American author of 48 books, filmmaker, and conspiracy theorist. Griffin's writings promote a number of right-wing views and conspiracy theories regarding various of his political, defense and health care interests.

I've only spent 5 minutes looking into it but so far it's looking like fake news.

I am pretty sure Nighthawk is aware of the situation here.

The biggest problem is, it isn't an isolated camp, as many workers frequent the restaurants, liquor stores, grocery stores, hardware store, gas stations, rental shops etc.
It is a big concern to all of is locals.
I am not at that site any longer, as I am off on medical leave, due to on-going knee injuries, I need replacements.

I haven't left my yard since finding out about this outbreak.

On the subject of covid....

Did you know that the vaccine doesn't make you immune from passing the virus on to others when you catch it, it just shows you to create antibodies so you don't get that sick yourself. The immunocompromised are (frank)ed!

Plus the pharmaceutical companies have been granted immunity from persecution and class action law suits by the federal government, both Canadian and the US.

Some food for thought to put in your pipe and smoke.

Here’s a controversial stance, I hope Farnsworth (idiot) implements a law stating that all residents must have the vaccine when available and that they must provide proof that they comply. No kids in schools, no employees allowed on any site, all residents regardless of their opposition, religious beliefs, closed mindedness, or Bill Gates conspiracy theories.

Bravo!!!
Was talking to a friend of mine in the film industry in Vancouver and they will need proof of vaccine in order to work. I also saw a story a week or 2 ago that TicketMaster will require a proof of vaccine or recent negative test in order to attend their shows.
All the anti-vaxers can f*ck off to Alberta and build a commune around a de-commissioned oil well, away from the society that they hate & mock.

It won't be controversial in my household and I agree Farnsworth is an idiot.👍

Not all, some vaccines are carrier vaccines but they are much harder and hence take far longer to develop.

This is an ill advised idea, at least until the vaccine is no longer experimental by nature.

By experimental, I mean when a large enough sample size has had it for long enough that they can verify both long and short term side effects for all age groups including the immunocompromised, then it will no longer be experimental.

Currently there are 13 in Phase 3, we don't know which ones will be most effective over the course of time. Once this data is collected there'll be a far clearer picture of this and the discussion may open to whether it should be treated like the measles vaccine or the flu shot vaccine. Until then, all who blindly adhere to a singular stance regardless of information and those who chose not to inform themselves, are by nature, sheep. I am continually educating myself and will make a rational and informed decision when a vaccine is actually available.

Usually the first version of anything new isn't as good or effective as those that are developed later.

Haven't yet heard Dr. Bonnie mention the covid outbreak at LNG site. Other than postings from Northern Health, they are pretty quiet about this.

She mentioned it a few days back, not sure if she specifically said Kitimat but she did mention work camps.

Same down here, in the island health authority, western communities get lumped in with Victoria, how many in the western communities and how many in Lanford, ( ) or Colwood?
