The world needs context. "Cases" do not mean anything. Countries do not have the same testing standards. You run cycles during the test for covid. If one country uses an insanely high cycle rate of 40 and the other uses just 30, the difference in "cases" will be staggering - roughly 90% fewer "cases" for the country that uses 30 cycles. If one country tests over 1.2 MILLION times per day, like America does, and another does 80k, like Canada, one country will look like its "cases" are running rampant while the other is barely a blip.
Additionally, no one is normalizing for tests done. Canada was doing about 20k tests per day at the height of covid pandemic in Feb-May range. They do 80k a day now and upwards of 100k and its only going higher. The false positive rate of this garbage test combined with the high cycle rate we use compared to non-western world means we get "cases". America, as stated, is testing 1.2 million daily. They only did 100k at the height of pandemic. Over 10 times as many tests is in a country of a third of a billion is going to give you "cases".
This is what the Ontario "cases" look like when you normalize testing to 30k per day for the entire year - https://ibb.co/QJT1vsN - There is virtually no change since spring.
One thing they are trying to do is talk about bed spaces in hospitals in Toronto region, even parading doctors out for quotes on it. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/ontario-experiencing-spike-in-new-covid-19-icu-admissions-not-seen-since-june-data-shows-1.5755925
Amazing. We cured influenza during the flu season in our most populated area of the country. They are fucking lying about influenza. The other issue is the beds - anyone that has gone to a hospital in Canada knows beds are ALWAYS full. You are basically kicked out on your ass if you are in non-critical condition, whether its for childbirth or if you had a heart attack. My uncle had a stroke last week and was sent home in TWO DAYS. After a stroke. The doctor or media is trying to convince you the hospital beds being used are only because of covid when anyone with 2 brain cells knows there are never any beds and hospitals are always run like shit in this shithole country.
Remember, during the height of the pandemic, "experts" predicted Ontario would be out of ICU and bed space within 37 days using "the most conservative estimates of 7.5% case increases per day". - https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/ontario-could-run-out-of-icu-beds-ventilators-in-37-days-even-if-covid-19-rates-cut-in-half-study-1.5503333
Didnt happen. What about recently? https://torontosun.com/news/provincial/ontario-tracking-lower-than-even-its-lowest-end-covid-19-projections or directly https://files.ontario.ca/moh-fall-prep-modelling-deck-en-2020-09-30-v2.pdf (page 9 has low, med, high scenarios).
A chart predicting ICU occupancy gives a low end estimate of around 100 people in ICUs by the middle of October. The medium scenario would have seen Ontario exceed 150 people in ICU beds by this time, which public health officials and hospital CEOs cited as the figure that would compromise their ability to deliver non-COVID medical procedures throughout the province. The high scenario projected 450 people in ICUs.
None of those happened based on all 3 models. As of Oct. 13, there are 60 people in ICU beds. The number has been slowly increasing, but at a slower rate than any of the modelled trajectories. Thats if you believe all 60 are covid related and not some immuno compromised individual or cancer patients or other comorbidity.
You are being lied to at every single stage of this scamdemic. They give no context, beat the drums about higher numbers, change the fucking definition of cases when cases stop going up and are now goign to lock you down again on the basis of models that FAILED IN EVEN THE LOWEST ESTIMATES.
Listen, to win elections you need to lie like a piece of shit, evade the truth, and pander to the majority of Morons who want absolutely no good for the country.
THAT'S HOW YOU WIN ELECTIONS!!!
Going against the grain for the betterment of the COUNTRY, and hope to inform or change the minds of the calloused apathetic brainwashed voters????
BLEGH! No.
You must not say what you really feel to your constituents so that they can all assume that you'll actually do the things they want... (Like lower immigration for example.)
