Hahaha, looking at him, I don't think he'd have to worry about mRNA vaccines causing infertility. This nonsense is almost Strangelovian.

How do you keep a pandemic going? You lift mask mandates too soon. Since the removal of mask mandates the UK seeing a rise in cases and hospitalizations. This will be Ontario in a few months.

Daily Covid admissions rise for 7TH day in a row and cases jump by 56%
Latest hospital data shows there were 1,406 daily virus admissions across the UK on March 6, up a third compared to the previous week and the seventh day in a row they have risen week-on-week.

And the notion that one can choose to wear a mask anyway discounts the fact that even respirators are not always effective when used near people who are not wearing any mask. I am quite sure that is how I caught COVID in early January.How do you keep a pandemic going? You lift mask mandates too soon.

The graph is instructive. Restrictions were all lifted right where it recently bottomed out.How do you keep a pandemic going? You lift mask mandates too soon. Since the removal of mask mandates the UK seeing a rise in cases and hospitalizations. This will be Ontario in a few months.

It's good people aren't dying as much in Britain now, but since their all-time COVID death rate is almost 3 times that of Canada, that's not very relevant. And saying Omicron is less virulent doesn't mean much when you look at the tens of thousands of Americans who died since December.
Not many people who get the flu end up sick or disabled for extended periods of time, but that can very well happen after even a mild case of COVID. Many kids still aren't vaccinated and less than half the population has received a booster. Masking should be maintained until cases are much lower than they are now. Anyway, the decision has been made, and we will have to live with the consequences. Or not. I just can't wait for the election.

This is the result of utter foolishness on the part of the Hong Kong government - betting the bank on stopping COVID at the border while not doing their due diligence in ensuring the most vulnerable (70+) are fully vaccinated (nevermind boosted). This tragedy is entirely predictable. We shall see whether China can hold Omicron at bay or whether they will have to play rearguard and manage its' spread.

Those are just infections. What about the hospitalization rates?

I suspect hospitalizations and even deaths will happen in the days/weeks to come. UK is already seeing a rise in hospitalizations.
it will happen here too. Get rid of masks, cases go up. It’s not rocket science.
