Might as well cap today's episode off by interviewing an American about ... something. I went to the bathroom and missed why this is news.
There simply no news, no interesting people in Canada.
Still trying to figure out why this is on the air.
Ok enough. There is no material use to this interview. Minute 8 and I have no idea who this guy is and why his son's suicide is national news. No hook into public policy or help or ideas or whatever to deal with ... I dunno, grief? Suicide?

Let's talk about Canada's quarantine exemption rules. With all the attention on banning flights from India (and not from everywhere else), we are ignoring a very important problem -- our quarantine rules are full of exemptions. Here they are:
1. Medical exemptions: if you come to Canada for a medical treatment that happens within 36 hours of your arrival, you can be exempt. (The way this is written sounds like you have to be supervised by a doctor for 14 days, but it also could only be for people who are COVID+)
2. Student in a health field - you are exempt if you come to Canada if you are coming to Canada as part of your studies. You are not allowed to care for someone 65+ within 14 days of arriving (extremely tight restriction...)

Matt Galloway making border controls about The Variants, as if our quarantine protocols for international travel were sufficient for COVID at all is so annoying.

He still doesn't understand what is happening.
Our covid protocols have *never* been sufficient. Don't blame this on The Variants.
"Community transmissio-"
"Community transmission of the variants"
"No, community transmission of covid, including the variants"

It should not be Bill Blair that is correcting a journalist. (At least it sounds like bill blair)

Quebec City's cases are finally lower after an intense 3 weeks of cases (150 daily new cases, lowest since March 29) but there was a significant jump in workplace outbreaks - 160.

Here's what it looks like. And yet -- no reporting on this locally whatsoever. Graph that shows a massive...
What businesses are these? Where are these outbreaks? I don't have time to crunch the daily neighbourhood numbers to figure out where they are occurring... why isn't there a local journalist doing this?
Three of these outbreaks are at Metro grocery stores, most recently Metro on Charest. I just found that in 1 minute. Where is the reporting?!

Of the 23,822 people who have died from COVID-19, I've linked 16,843 deaths to 1652 residential facilities. That is 3 more deaths in 24 hours and one new facility (which was actually an old one with 1 death I had previously missed)

docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…
The deaths that are happening among people between 20-60 are deaths that very likely stemmed from a workplace acquired infection. And yet, we know almost nothing about who is dying. The information is coming out in the slowest drips ... tonight I added a single death...
No way that among those who died today, only one death was caused by a workplace outbreak (Construction outbreak 12 in the Waterloo Region - - the cowards wont even name the company). We just don't know and this is a very big problem.

The Current could have taken the Chauvin decision to talk about Clive Mensah, Ejaz Chowdery or the family of the baby who the OPP shot and killed.

But no, we hear more US news as if these things do not happen in Canada.
"In a country where police are rarely found guilty of murdering civilians

*John Travolta looking around .gif*
This is propaganda. It's Canadian exceptionalism and mythmaking. @TheCurrentCBC why won't you talk about Canadian policing like this?

Of the 23,713 people who have died from COVID-19, I've linked 16,839 deaths to 1651 residential facilities. That is 7 more deaths than last night and three more facilities.

It's so disgusting to me that anyone could deny these deaths as having been real. A friend's mother appeared on this list tonight. It's enraging and I hate it and every one of these pieces of shit need to face consequences for their anti-social behaviour.
The good(ish) news is that the number of deaths in residential care are in single digits. The bad news is that there were deaths in like 10 regions of Ontario that had no information about where they got COVID and who they were -- just deaths floating into the ether.
