Learn to live with Covid
Quebec’s cultural venues will be completely open by the end of this month, and everything else will be open by mid-March as we all, as Papa Legault says, learn to live with Covid.

Fauci and others have confirmed that we will all get omicron because it’s impossible to avoid. It’s mild, doesn’t get in the lungs and mostly people who have it are asymptomatic. The ICU is full of patients who test positive for omicron covid but omicron has no bearing on what’s ailing them. Some of those ICU patients who are incidentally infected with omicron will get very sick or even die or whatever illness landed them there. This offers a useful panic statistic for those who wish to misrespresent the situation as it will artificially and permanently keep a high number of people who “die with covid.”

Try facts… https://www.euro.who.int/en/health-topics/health-emergencies/pages/news/news/2022/01/the-omicron-variant-sorting-fact-from-myth
People are dying from omicron. It’s a fact, not a myth. The majority of them are unvaccinated. You have more cases, because more people get it, therefore the numbers in hospital will be higher, even if most are asymptomatic, especially if they are vaccinated.

Santé Quebec’s daily statisticsd indicate the number of people in ICU whose principal diagnosis is Covid – today for example is 134/178 (75%).

That’s about 1/3 of them, 2/3 are admitted *for* covid.
>People are dying from omicron. … The majority of them are unvaccinated.
That’s an understatement. It’s more like 95%.
I can’t be bother to find links though.

56 new Covid deaths in Quebec over the last 24 hours.
Just saying.

No data for Canada/Quebec, but interesting nonetheless:

And does anyone think maintaining all these restrictions on society will convince the holdouts to get vaccinated and save their lives? If anything, I think I’d bet the opposite.

@Chris – I always find it amazing that we have people who are anti-vax, but not anti-ventilator
