Covid 2nd Wave....fact or fiction

[MikePal]

The 1.3% up to 2% rise in rates is really an increase of over 50% not 0.7%.

True, the positive cases could go up from 50 to 75 or from 400 to 600...that's why case counts are meaningless and you have to look at Hospitalizations to get a better picture of how Covid is affecting the population.

Update:
Yes the city of Ottawa just went into lock down again with only 33 people sick enough to be in a hospital in a population of 1.3 million !!
For perspective, that represents 0.00275% of the population of the city are in the hospital with Covid.

Hmmm. My wife's best friend had to go into the Civic this past week for a severe ear infection. Guess what, not a single covid case in the whole hospital, imagine that.
Numbers are too easily manipulated, specially when there's an agenda like a planned second wave.
I know a guy who contacted our local health unit (Leeds Lanark Grenville) trying to get some info from them like which tests there are using, sensitivity levels, rates of false positives, justifications for mandatory masks etc. Basically all he got for a response was crickets and deflections.

I see Leeds Grenville (also my area) only has only 7 active cases (all community) ..4 of them kids from Hold Cross in Kemptville....that is a huge area. Hard to accept the media spin that is that it's spiralling out of control...HaHa..

Those who are unable to think for themselves, will believe only what their told to believe.

Are the government lying? Both federal and provincial?

Yes they are both lying and have been since February.

my dad has been in ICU in SW Ontario for 2 weeks and the hospital looked like a ghost town, including the ICU
If the government published the deaths of all the people who will die of breast cancer (due to cancelled mamograms, screening,etc from March till this summer) and people who had complications after cancelled post-op doctors appointments, etc, etc we would all be in an uproad over this forced shutdown..we need to open our eyes and look at the big picture
(for the record im not saying covid is fake or we shouldnt be careful) but this idea that we need to stop living and shut down is absolutely disgusting.

Shut off the TV and stay away from the news, this is the best cure for covid.

No wonder JT locked down all the scary guns, a revolt is likely to happen if they keep imposing on people's lives. Even some of the more paranoid people are waking up to this disgusting abuse of power.

Lets face it, its not about health anymore its about power. Good luck getting back all the power this government has given themselves, not just the feds but provincial and municipal governments as well need to take a hike and stay out of peoples lives. Let the health departments make their recommendations and the politicians can stay the F out of it for the most part.

Suicide is WAY up, mental health issues, child and spousal abuse, homelessness, joblessness, addiction and crime, tent cities, rioting vandalism and vigilantes etc. That is the real problem, thats the "second wave". Stop controlling the people and all those issues disappear back to normal levels.

All I can say is if the boat launches get locked up again, bolt cutters might become an essential item in some households, best stock up now!

Yea for most of the summer it was at 0-3 active cases, same as it was in June before they mandated masks. This in an area from the St. Lawrence all the way up to Arnprior with a population around 170,000. Some pandemic eh? Renfrew county was real good too, at one point they went over a month without an active case. But wth, lets screw up everyone's lives anyway just to keep up with the fear mongering.

Doing a quick google search shows we have 6 active cases here in Brantford, Brant County...... All 6 are self isolating at home.... none are in the hospital.... Brantford has a population of about 100,000 and Brant County around 30,000 (I think).....so with these numbers, I think we are in pretty good shape (knock on wood)
