Alberta to COVID-19: ‘What, me worry? " Each of these U-S states have a few things in common. They have relatively low vaccination rates. They have the Delta variant. And they’ve ditched public health restrictions. Who else has all that? Alberta."
"And Alberta is adding something new: blinders. The province is saying it doesn’t believe there will be another virus spike – it has basically declared the pandemic over. But, if there is another wave, it doesn’t want to know about it until the tsunami is already ashore."
"The early warning system is being dismantled. Alberta is also saying that, in future, residents who believe they may have been infected should not get tested, should not share their contacts with contact tracers, and should not stay home to avoid infecting others."
"Where did they get this plan? Blindfolds R Us?" From what Jason Kenney undoubtedly wants to call the Toronto Globe and Mail. He and his political crew can attack the messenger. They can call them anti-Albertan, elitist, liberal or whatever else works for their political core.
But the virus doesn't care about politics, or who it infects, where they live, how old or young they are. There is not a single doctor or any other health care professional, working in an #ab hospital who would dismiss these facts of life. theglobeandmail.com/opinion/editor…
From identical @GlobeAndMail editorial: "Alberta’s..level of vaccine protection is barely higher than Florida’s. In the Sunshine State, 68 per cent of adults have had a first dose, and 59 per cent a second. Alberta’s figures for those 12 years and older are 75 and 64 per cent."
