    There was some german scentific report/study on how much better Sweden would have done if we would have had stricter lockdowns. 

    THE EUROPEAN ENVY AND HATE OF SWEDEN MUST COME TO AN END. JUST BECAUSE WE CONSTANTLY RANK LIKE TOP FIVE IN THE EUROVISON SONG CONTEST DOESN'T MEAN YOU NEED TO BE SOURPUSSES.
    Hahahaha.  Until someone mentions Sweden or I am watching hockey game and their happens to be Swedish hockey player…then I usually never give Sweden a second thought…

    Victor Hedman is awesome.  I think about that Swede every night when watching the Norris/Conn Smythe stud glide down the ice,  killing 2-1 single handedly.

    funny, I was just thinking this yesterday. He took credit for the vaccine, yet so many of his supporters choose to believe it will microchip you and let Bill Gates or Elon Musk know what you had for dinner. Or give you a disease. Or teleport you to Comet Pizza to meet your ultimate Hillary-induced demise.

    The Pfizer vaccine has been approved for the 12-15 age group in Canada..

    Yes, and a release from Pfizer says that they hope to submit the necessary studies in children 5 and over by September for review. 

    If we are able to get a big chunk of the teens at least first-dose vaccinated before school starts, it will make a big difference, and even more so if the younger children are eligible this fall.

    Canadian researchers are developing an accurate, self-contained saliva test for covid that would take only 20 minutes and which is paper-based, thus potentially having less of an environmental impact. It's not expected to be ready for another 8-10 months, and who knows how things may look at that point, but if it is a relatively inexpensive product it has the potential to make large gatherings much safer.

    Brother (a teacher) positive for Corona for the second time... and not that long between the two...

    He was at my place 10 days ago helping me move. So guessing I could be at risk?
    How long in between?  If he’s not symptomatic, it could be artifact from the first infection.  Our ID docs have been finding some people who will test positive for 3-4 months after the initial infection
    Yes, that’s a true. For some border crossing, such as between the US and Canada, one has to show either a negative covid test or evidence of a prior positive test up to three months earlier (and more than 14 days prior), due to the potential for individuals to continue to test positive long after they are no longer symptomatic or infectious. 
    Does this have anything to do with people whom caught it that have the rare after effects?  Or is this just a freak thing and they continue to test positive?
    Does not seem to be in the covid "long haulers", if that's what you mean.

    It seems that previously infected people can still shed non-infectious viral particles long after their infection has cleared and they are no longer able to transmit the virus.

    I swear the only place I see stuff like this is the interwebs.  Never in my day to day life do I encounter anyone who thinks like this.  Are we in a simulation?  Staying online has me feeling bad for refusing the vax, can someone tell me if vaccines.gum is working yet?

    Waiting for you to provide your insight on how to read that flu chart.  Your other option is just admit you were duped.

    The task is to spread misinformation, not to analyze it. A few more rubles in the bank.

    when they rolled out the Hep B vaccinations in schools in the mid 80's, was there mass outrage? protests? conspiracy theories? how are all those kids doing today? I can tell you, this one is perfectly fine. as are most if not all of my classmates. 

    were there consent forms sent to parents? or a "this is what's happening" FYI doc? either way, I'm guessing uptake was probably north of 95%. 

    what has changed? oh yeah, people reading the internet and thinking they are epidemiologists, that's what.

    jack's an idiot. smerconish never said "it's time for people to shun.....". he is reporting findings of a survey.

    I believe it was you lost a cousin recently.  I was sorry to read that.  Was a gofundme or anything set up where my wife and I could donate?

    This thread has literally become a bridge and everyone keeps getting gobbled up by the troll.
    It's a hopeless situation...
