- New Canadian model: the epidemic is rapidly worsening! 30,000 daily increase! Vaccine Shortage
Thousands of new cases and thousands of new deaths are expected across Canada in the coming weeks as the Communist virus continues to spread rapidly across the country, according to CTV News and Daily Hive. New national models released Friday show Canada will see as many as 796,630 cases and 19,630 deaths by Jan. 24. Short-term projections show that if Canadians continue to have the same level of close contact with others, new cases will continue to grow rapidly and the pandemic will continue.
Federal Chief Public health Officer Wing Sze Tan warned today 15 that Canada will not be able to curb the rate of spread of the virus unless restrictions are further increased. She said, “We have not seen a sustained decline in the number of cases per day, which suggests that we are not controlling this pandemic nationally.”
Long-term projections show the country will reach 30,000 new cases per day by February. Hospitalizations in provinces with high infection rates have been steadily increasing since October, with an average of more than 4,700 people being treated in hospitals and 875 in intensive care units each day. When people are hospitalized for a new crown, they tend to stay for about 16 days, and the length of stay for seriously ill patients is often longer. This strains the resources of the Canadian health care system and wears out health care workers.
In most regions, community transmission is now widespread, and outbreaks in long-term care facilities and other high-risk settings are increasing. c The number of new coronary deaths is also “steadily increasing,” and the total number of daily deaths could soon exceed the levels seen at the first peak last year. And the number of cases per day has already far exceeded the first wave’s peak. Older adults still account for the highest percentage of new coronary deaths, although there have been 70 deaths among adults aged 20 to 39 so far.
Today’s model shows that the daily trend of new coronary cases in Canada has continued to show a “dramatic increase” since December. Health Canada is calling for “rapid, robust and sustained measures” to interrupt the spread of the virus.
When Health Canada presented its previous national model a month ago, it predicted that Canada was on a “rapid growth trajectory” and did not flatten the case curve for the second wave of the outbreak at all. Today’s model shows that the spread of the virus is still on this fast-growing path.
Although some provinces began to show a downward trend in late December, new cases rose again after the holidays. Health officials say this could be due to people making more contacts during Christmas and other holiday seasons, or it could be due to people delaying testing until early in the new year. In the final modeling presentation for 2020, senior Canadian public health officials said they hope to implement stricter restrictions in some provinces and that it will reduce transmission in the coming weeks. “We need to flatten the curve again,” Tam said.
The ongoing New Crown vaccination campaign is positive news for the public, offering initial protection to Canada’s frontline and most vulnerable populations. But Tam warns that it will be several months before most Canadians are vaccinated. It is important that our health care system has the capacity to manage such a large population and vaccine when it begins to operate.
Not only that, but if the virus continues to spread and more Canadians are hospitalized, it will be a new challenge for the health system. With the increased availability of vaccines, the new crown vaccination campaign will be one of the most complex in Canadian public health history. The Ministry of Health says they know Canadians are tired and that winter will be very tough. Usually near the end of the race is the toughest part, but it won’t last forever. For now, we must redouble our efforts at this critical time and get the job done.
- Canada “open” to enhanced international travel measures
On Friday (Jan. 15), Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said the federal government is “open” to tightening international travel restrictions due to growing concerns about Canadians traveling abroad, and said the measures the government has taken have been effective.
Asked if the government would consider a ban on international travel, Trudeau said: “Our measures are already very strong, but we are willing to strengthen them when necessary. We have been exploring various measures, some of which have proven effective in other parts of the world. Trudeau also said that Canada’s 14-day mandatory quarantine of people entering the country is “very effective.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau went on to say that the Canadian government is considering banning certain flights as mutated viruses continue to appear around the world, such as the one now appearing in Brazil. Last month, Canada temporarily banned flights from the United Kingdom in an effort to curb the spread of the mutated virus after it emerged in the country. The U.K. announced today (Jan. 15) that it is banning all flights from South America as a precaution due to the mutated virus in Brazil.
We are taking all measures to protect Canadians, including considering banning certain flights if necessary,” Trudeau said at a news conference outside his residence at Rideau Cottage. We must make decisions based on public health guidelines.
Since March 14, 2020, the Canadian government has issued a travel advisory urging Canadians to refrain from unnecessary international travel. While cases are increasing and the outbreak is worsening, the latest reports from CBC, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, show that different Canadian airlines have flown more than 1,500 flights between Canada and 18 popular vacation destinations since October 1 of last year. In recent days, Canada has already seen politicians and other important figures embroiled in controversy for traveling overseas on vacation during the holidays.
Shakey Kuhl, director of the Angus Reid Institute, noted that a recent poll showed that 65 percent of Canadians said they would ban all international personal travel at the moment of the current pandemic. The poll also revealed that seven in ten Canadians have postponed or cancelled travel and family gatherings at home and abroad since the outbreak. The Angus Reid Institute surveyed a representative random sample of 1,601 Canadian adults between January 7 and 11, with a margin of error of +/- 2.4%.
- 13-year-old BC student subjected to campus bullying! Publicly kicked, beaten and humiliated, many bystanders did not help
A video circulating on social media shows a 13-year-old sexual minority student being kicked, beaten and humiliated by two Grade 8 girls in full view of the public at B.C.’s Misonécole Heritage Park Secondary School. The two bullies were arrested and released and are now facing criminal charges.
The video was reportedly shot during the school’s lunch break on Monday (11), showing the victim with her back to the camera, holding her head and curled up in a ball, sitting on the ground, while the two girls slapped and punched the defenseless student, despite the fact that there were other students watching, and kicked her in the body and head, while constantly abusing each other, with other students in the background of the video.
The Midsomer Rangers then intervened to investigate. Wilson, superintendent of the Mason Public School District, said on the 14th that the two bullies in the picture are 8th graders and are currently facing criminal charges and disciplinary action by the school. Wilson promised that the students involved in the bullying are facing serious consequences, “such behavior is ugly, horrible, as a father, this bullying incident is particularly disturbing to me. Currently, both the RCMP and the school district are involved in the investigation.”
In response to allegations that the student victims are transgender and gay, Wilson declined to confirm, saying only that police and school authorities have grasped the general situation, some bystanders will also be investigated in depth, “they contributed to the bullying, will also face the consequences.” Mison riding police spokesman Lafrow said the beating girl may be charged with assault and other crimes.
In addition, Wilson has been accused for previously mentioning the correlation between the bullying incident and the epidemic, “I want to clarify that I did not blame the bullying on the epidemic, I don’t think the epidemic directly caused it to happen. But many elementary and middle school principals have observed similar behavior in school yards over the past six months, and I’m just saying that the epidemic may be related to the prevalence of bullying.”
The LGBTQ policy group PFLAG sent a letter to the Mason School District and Wilson, saying that the video shows something that has happened more than once. Director of Education Stephen Wray said the province is cooperating fully with the police investigation and will provide full support to the school district, students and staff. Wuijin encouraged all students, whether they personally experienced bullying or witnessed it, to anonymously report the bullying.
The victim’s mother revealed that the bullying had been going on for several months and that the two girls who hit her were arrested and released on the condition that they would not have contact with the victim and would not return to school for a while. She pointed out that her child had been kicked in the head, legs, buttocks and ribs, and that she was heartbroken and chilled by the fact that some of the students were cheering and no one stood up to stop them. She also noted that the child came home the first night of the incident and had nightmares, but her mood eased after that. One of the abusers had tried to contact them to apologize.
4, precedent: BC judge allows a billionaire to sue social media giant Twitter for damage to his reputation
Billionaire Frank Giustra of Canada’s B.C. province sued California-based social media giant Twitter Inc. in April 2019 for ruining his reputation. On Friday 15, a B.C. judge ruled that the case be allowed to proceed on the grounds that “the statements on Twitter were read by more than 500,000 people in BC at least.” The ruling sets a precedent for similar cases.
Frank Giustra claimed that in 2016, conspiracy theories related to him were spread on the Twitter platform, claiming that Frank Giustra was a pedophile and involved the Clintons in “pizzagate,” among other things. As a philanthropist, Frank Giustra claims that the false statements posted on Twitter have seriously affected his reputation in the community. He believes that the people who created the conspiracy theory were politically motivated because he had donated money to support the Clinton Foundation. Twitter said they have no branch in BC, Canada, so the province has no jurisdiction over the case, and BC Judge Elliott Myers acknowledged that the case raises new issues of cyber jurisdiction.
