It’s a phenomenon that doctors and officials have known about for months, but haven’t been all that forthcoming about.
It’s what’s known as incidental hospitalizations — people who are included in the Ontario government’s daily count of people in hospital with COVID-19, but who aren’t actually in hospital for the virus.
Instead, they’ve gone to hospital for something completely different and just happen to test positive for the virus upon arrival but aren’t at all suffering from it.
Maybe, just maybe – and hear me out here – firing a bunch of essential medical workers with decades of experience over a vaccine was a really stupid idea.
The pandemic made us an even lonelier nation.
There is both bad news and good news for Planned Parenthood these days. Even while abortion made a brief stop once again at the Supreme Court, its numbers are dropping.
A few years ago, abortion hit its lowest rate since it was legalized. The drop in abortion rates parallels the fall in birth rates. Both stem from a decline in pregnancies.
America isn’t becoming more moral, only more lonely.
Dismantling the environmental theory for Covid’s origins
With a laboratory leak in Wuhan looking more and more likely as the source of the Covid pandemic, the Chinese authorities are not the only ones dismayed. Western environmentalists had been hoping to turn the pandemic into a fable about humankind’s brutal rape of Gaia. Even if “wet” wildlife markets and smuggled pangolins were exonerated in this case, they argued, and the outbreak came from some direct contact with bats, the moral lesson was ecological. Deforestation and climate change had left infected bats stressed and with nowhere to go but towns. Or had driven desperate people into bat-infested caves in search of food or profit.
The taboo pandemic.
One of the world’s best soccer players recently and inadvertently issued a frightening warning to the world, though neither he nor the world probably recognize it as such.
Argentina’s Sergio Aguero announced his retirement Dec. 15 after suffering a heart attack six weeks earlier during a game. While playing for FC Barcelona on Oct. 31, Aguero bent at the waist, experienced breathing problems, grabbed his lungs, lay on his back and received treatment from trainers before going to the hospital, where doctors diagnosed him with an irregular heartbeat.
We all knew it would happen eventually.
Today it did. Over a half million followers gone in a blink of an eye. That means I must have been on the mark, so to speak. Over the target. It also means we lost a critical component in our fight to stop these vaccines being mandated for children and to stop the corruption in our governments, as well as the medical-industrial complex and pharmaceutical industries.

German Police Union (GdP) said it was concerned about the psychological consequences faced by police officers deployed at protests against COVID-19 measures.
“The many coronavirus protests are putting a huge strain on our forces,” union national chairman Oliver Malchow told Redaktionsnetzwerk Deutschland (RND).
Police officers are deployed from one state to another to deal with the numerous demonstrations taking place across Germany, he said in comments published Wednesday.
‘I still haven’t grieved’: Families want apology for loved ones exposed to COVID-19 in hospital who died
Lloyd Hodgins was a jokester with a good heart.
Hodgins, 82, fractured his hip in October and received surgery at Boundary Trails Health Centre between Morden and Winkler, Man.
He tested negative for COVID-19 after being transferred to hospital in Portage la Prairie. Family expected he’d rehabilitate there and be back at his MacGregor care home cracking wise with friends and staff in no time.
Then he got COVID-19; he died Nov. 8. Hodgins and three other patients who had eaten together in the dining room of the locked Portage District General Hospital rehab unit tested positive, said his daughter Val Alderson.
Several provinces considering allowing COVID positive health workers to stay on job
What could possibly go wrong?
This is how my Mum died. I did receive a follow up phone call from the palliative care Doctor at Toronto Western but nothing from the physio -rehab facility where she contracted the plague. When I picked up Mom’s belongings the rehab perversely included a bag of her soiled bed linens. I threw it into the lobby.
Police in southern China have been captured on camera parading four alleged offenders through the streets in a public shaming exercise.
The four men were accused of smuggling people across China’s borders, which are largely sealed because of Covid.
They were paraded through the streets of Jingxi city in Guangxi province in hazmat suits.
CHICAGO (AP) — More than a year after the vaccine was rolled out, new cases of COVID-19 in the U.S. have soared to the highest level on record at over 265,000 per day on average, a surge driven largely by the highly contagious omicron variant.
The previous mark was 250,000 cases per day, set in mid-January, according to data kept by Johns Hopkins University.
The fast-spreading mutant version of the virus has cast a pall over Christmas and New Year’s, forcing communities to scale back or call off their festivities just weeks after it seemed as if Americans were about to enjoy an almost normal holiday season. Thousands of flights have been canceled amid staffing shortages blamed on the virus.
British children with learning disabilities were offered ‘do not attempt resuscitation’ orders during the pandemic — for no reason other than the child having a learning disability, families believe.

Experts question, criticize new CDC guidance to shorten COVID-19 isolation
U.S. health officials’ decision to shorten the recommended COVID-19 isolation and quarantine period from 10 days to five is drawing criticism from some medical experts and could create confusion among many Americans.
To the dismay of some authorities, the new guidelines allow people to leave isolation without getting tested to see if they are still infectious.
President Biden backtracked from previous comments Tuesday when he vowed to promote a “federal plan to tackle Omicron” despite claiming hours earlier there was no “federal solution” to the pandemic.
It is not unreasonable to conclude that surgical and cloth masks, used as they currently are being used (without other forms of PPE protection), have no impact on controlling the transmission of Covid-19 virus. Current evidence implies that face masks can be actually harmful. The body of evidence indicates that face masks are largely ineffective.
