^^^^^^^^ Bonne nouvelle cette 4ième dose. Je suis moins jeune que j'étais et j'ai des gens plus fragiles dans ma famille. Vers la fin avril, j'irai chercher ma 4ième dose et si nécessaire une 5ième en octobre avec mon vaccin anti-grippe. Je serai prêt pour affronter l'automne et l'hiver. C'est un petit geste, qui en plus de me protéger, protégera plein de gens qui, pour une raison ou une autre, ont un système immunitaire défaillant. Sans compter les autres qui ne sont toujours pas vaccinés, par choix ou parce qu'ils ne sont pas éligibles. Rappelons qu"il n'y a toujours pas de protocole approuvée pour les enfants de moins de 5 ans. Ils sont en général épargnés par des symptômes graves nécessitant une hospitalisation, mais il y a des cas ou le bambin est décédé. Malgré un protocole éprouvé pour les 5-11 ans, certains parents vaccinés hésitent encore à faire vacciner leurs jeunes enfants.

QUÉBEC ce jour.....Hospitalisations 1,582 sont en constante croissance +42 today.....soins intensifs 64 sous contrôle MAIS encore 28 décès pour un tragique total de 14,482.....oui tragique tragique tragique.

Dans un previous post je disais que le variant BA.2 était de 30-40% plus contagieux que OMICRON MAIS pour bien citer le DR.BOILEAU il serait même plus contagieux de près de 50%....et à la hausse dans les semaines à venir.

On en voit d'ailleurs déjà les effets sur les hospitalisations....et aussi autour de nous....famille/amis.....donc oui appel à la prudence ....heureusement à ce jour les cas graves sont sous contrôle.

Oui le vaccin--bien petit geste--- demeure l'outil/ l'arme ultime pour livrer bataille.

FYI for you "freedom fighters" bitter about Trudeau's "tyranny", this is what a REAL lockdown looks like:

UK has detected a new Covid variant. Here’s what we know so far about omicron XE

A new omicron sub-variant has been detected in the U.K. as the country faces a renewed surge in Covid-19 hospitalizations.

www.cnbc.com

The XE variant has so far been detected in 637 patients, according to the latest statistics from the U.K. Health Security Agency.

It is what’s known as a “recombinant,” meaning it contains a mix of the previously highly infectious omicron BA.1 strain, which emerged in late 2021, and the newer BA.2 variant, currently the U.K.’s dominant variant.

Such recombinants are not uncommon, however health authorities said there is currently not enough evidence to draw conclusions on its transmissibility or severity.

Hey boboy...QUÉBEC ce jour....+35 décès pour un total de 14,579 ...+145 hospitalisations ...pour un total de 1938 ...heureusement les soins intensifs demeurent sous contrôle avec 67.

DR. BOILEAU nous avait bien prévenu la semaine dernière que le BA.2 frapperait fort dans les prochaines .....he was right on....alors prudence prudence prudence.

Shanghai easing COVID-19 lockdown by letting some residents out - National | Globalnews.ca

About 6.6 million Shanghai residents can go outdoors, but some must stay in their own neighborhoods, the online news outlet The Paper reported, citing city officials.

globalnews.ca

Some residents of Shanghai were allowed out of their homes as the city of 25 million eased a two-week-old COVID-19 shutdown.

The United States has ordered non-essential employees of its consulate in Shanghai to leave the city, against the backdrop of an epidemic outbreak and strict containment measures in the metropolis, the American embassy said on Tuesday.

covid is pretty evenly distributed around the continent, but the rules vary quite a bit area to area...that cant hold

At least we are not in Shangai. the chinese are screwed unless they accept to buy western vaccines.

A new variant of omicron, the BA2.12.1, it's under surveillance.

Unfortunately, it's not over.

This virus is exhausting.

Onondaga Co. COVID hospitalizations go above 100 - doctors say caseload is manageable

SYRACUSE, N.Y. — COVID-19 hospitalization numbers are above 100 in Onondaga County for the first time since mid-February; experts say Omicron's even more transmissible subvariants are to blame.

Central New York has experienced higher positivity rates than most of the country, becoming the state and national epicenter of the highly contagious BA.2 subvariants.
Similar to the Omicron wave, experts in CNY say that so far these subvariants are not producing widespread severe disease, but as more positives are recorded, hospitalizations will eventually follow.

In the last three weeks - hospitalizations in Onondaga County have doubled, with 104 in Syracuse hospitals Tuesday, with 11 in the ICU.

We will see.

Only in the US there have been +989,000 deaths from covid out of a population of 330,000,000.

Which gives 0.3% of the population.

...et on porte le masque.

Actually its time the mandate drop. I don't see it going over May 31st (outside of public transportations and hospitals) but then again, the science of the CAQ is not the biggest intelliegence sign in the galaxy... So who knows with these lunatics...

What you described as what you got is basically what the VAST VAST majority of peoples have. Would it had been different without vaccines? Maybe. But you decided to get vaccinated, everybody who decided to do it were able to, so life should resume with the ideology that everybody is vaccinated. If they are not, then its their choice and they accept the consequences, wich i always was fine with, and even vaccinated now, i still completely 100% PRO CHOICE when it comes to this.

As for China... well ...this is China. I hate peoples compare 2 extremes. No we are not China, no we are not North Korea. Does not mean that our basics rights and body sovereignity were not challenged. That there was not a glimpse of something pretty dangerous if had let it spread too far.

Boileau a dit cette semaine...port du masque jusqu'à MI-MAI....MAIS si la tendance actuelle de régression SIGNIFICATIVE des hospitalisations se continue IMHO il pourrait revoir sa décision et changer sa décision de porter le masque un peu plus tôt...genre une semaine.
Le gouvernement n'a absolument absolument aucun intérêt à maintenir cette mesure si non nécessaire...bien au contraire.

Il y a sûrement fort à parier qu'avec le nombre exponentiel de cas positifs détectés ces derniers temps nous ayons atteint une bonne immunité collective qui devrait nous permettre de nous rendre à l'automne...et rendu là BOILEAU a dit que fort probablement une vaccination OPTIONNELLE serait offerte à la population...ce qui serait IMHO ok.,,et rassurant.
