Delta variant of concern is here folks.

Possible 4th wave of COVID-19 incoming.

In Canada we speak of 4th waves, in the land of the free we have this:

Isn't everything we all do an inherent risk?

I don't believe the term variant is designed to keep people scared. I do believe not being able to comprehend the science behind variants is scary.

Fair enough

I will take my chances in a 100% Open state and see what happens.

Got your shots man?

 

[Crusher117]

Seeing the city alive again tonight feels ****ing AMAZING. Feels like started a new chapter in my life again. Covid feeling like a distant memory already. Socializing with strangers. Making new friends. Clients at my dad's resto are super excited and friendly. Every week getting better and better!

By who and for what reason? This benefits nobody man. Think critically here.

I agree with what your saying in the sense that nobody wants covid, but it absolutely has benefited a lot of the wealthiest people in the world.

I do but I am the only one in a wide circle of friends who has done it. Now there are reports of significant issues with these vaccines and I am having doubts as to whether I should have received it. Buyers remorse

I stand by what I said. I recently heard of the Kalamazoo variant and that was the last straw

 

[Adam Michaels]

Good to see more 2nd doses and 1st doses for the last few days.

Almost 68K 2nd doses.

Source?

You know that there are real "significant issues" when catching covid right?

 

[waffledave]

Not from creating fear. Countless businesses were destroyed by this thing. The government in particular has zero incentive to keep this going, they need the votes to stay in power.

You stand by what exactly? Please explain to me this conspiracy theory you've come up with here.

"None of my friends got vaccinated."

"What's up with all these variants? Seems fishy to me..."

Yeah but the problem is that if people don't get the vaccine then it's going to take longer to get where we all want to be. Good for you for getting it. It's about stopping this from spreading and mutating. People who don't want to get it are being selfish. You did your part by getting it. There is propaganda on both sides, but the vaccine is definitely working and the risks are extremely minimal... just look at how many people have gotten it.

I’m sitting it out. I know that’s not popular here, but I don’t care.

I agree with what you're saying for the most part. Governments absolutely want to squash covid, and I believe that they are doing there best.

With that being said, there is always going to be a political aspect to it. Where I am we have our government moving ahead with a re-launch plan. Yay! This looks like it won't be another summer of lost revenue for myself and my family members who own some small businesses. However, the opposition party is continuing to say that we are moving too fast because of a variety of reasons (variants being the big one right now) and are stating that a lot of rules and restrictions should not be relaxed until the end of the summer. I personally believe they are fear mongering as a way to win over votes for the next election.

PS- while I wasn't overly happy with the curfew in Quebec this year, there is no doubt they are clearly the envy of the major provinces in Canada with their re-opening plan.

"None of my friends got vaccinated."

"What's up with all these variants? Seems fishy to me..."

From a perspective from someone who lives in a state that is 100% Open and the cases are going down...everything down here seems back to normal.
When I saw the great Habs fans celebrating in the streets after game 4 I was ecstatic to see things getting back to a semblance of normalcy in Canada.

I personally would be so proud to see a full or at least half full Bell Center next week.

Since the beginning of time viruses have roamed the earth...time to beat this thing full speed ahead....

On Monday I have to fly for work and it will be the first time in 5 weeks that I will be forced to wear something over my face that does nothing to prevent covid. Even Fauci is on record saying masks don't work.
