I don't think so...since Covid wasn't around 5 yrs ago

A severe complication of COVID-19 is viral pneumonia. Distinguishing viral pneumonia from bacterial pneumonia is difficult in the community. In some cases, they could co-exist, increasing the chance of a more unfortunate outcome. However, there may be important clues in the history and the examination that can help differentiate the two. Recent guidance from NICE (UK) will support clinicians in this process.

If you had pneumonia 4 yrs ago it would have most likely a bacterial pneumonia. If you had pneumonia in the last 8 months, you may have had viral pneumonia brought on by Covid.

And if you had a viral pneumonia recently ..blood test would confirm if you had anti-bodies for Covid in your system.

64 cases reported today in York region we have population of 1,11 million .

We are in day 2 of a modified stage 2
It will do nothing to stop the number from rising.

No kidding. Shutting down the economy is ruining people's lives destroying businesses and causing, suicide, mental illness on a level never seen before, on top of other health issues, treatments and surgeries being canceled of held-off.
More people will die because of the government shutdowns than Covid itself

I just want to know what's wrong with having a flip phone.

As of today in Ontario....
So some quick math......
Under 20 6,894 positive 1 death = 0.000145 death rate....
20-29 yrs 14,299 positive 4 deaths= 0.000279 death rate....
30-39 yrs 10,738 Positive 7 deaths= 0.000651 death rate.....
40-49 yrs 9,508 Positive 27 deaths=0.002839 death rate.....
50-59 10,258 Positive 102 deaths=0.009943 death rate....
60-69 6,686 Positive 283 deaths=0.042327 death rate....
70-79 3,829 Positive 543 deaths=0.141812 death rate....
80-89 4,262 Positive 1,122 deaths=0.263256 death rate....
90-99 2,844 Positive 997 deaths=0.350562 death rate....

Death rates climb exponentially the older you get, the young don't have much to worry about...

I found this interesting on our governments website....
Any case marked "Fatal" is included in the deaths data. Deaths are included whether or not COVID-19 was determined to be a contributing or underlying cause of death as indicated in the iPHIS field “Type of Death”
What the heck do that mean?

Why does the government want the lockdown?

Good question-but actually WHAT do they do to STOP lockdowns???...........no number presented even on official sites warrants what is happening.IMHO
The squeeze is not worth the juice anymore-yet we still squeeze.

Maybe politicians do not know any better-maybe they are chickens -maybe they can not think for themselves-maybe they think handling Covid this way is better for them then let all loose ,and face potential consequences(did i mention chicken?)-maybe actually this cost them(personally)ZERO so whay they would take chances on next election(their livelihood)-maybe they just follow suit.

It means, early on in the pandemic, that they reported deaths as covid deaths even though they died of medical conditions not related to covid but may have had Covid when they died. In some cases the virus exacerbated their condition, but the primary cause of death was not Covid.

In short..they fudged the numbers.

I just want to know what's wrong with having a flip phone.

I was actually told by Virgin (Bell) that I had to get a new phone, because my old flip phone didn't have a SIM card...So I bought a newer flip phone, the only one on they sold and demanded that they 'grandfather' my old plan to the new phone. They did and so I still have a flip phone (with SIM) and pay only $10/mth. The only problem is I can't use an app to order my coffee at Tim's with my phone and actually have to do that it in person. HaHa..
