There's a surprising number of long haul symptoms. Some folks had to physically retrain themselves to breath.

The chances of Ivermectin having -any- effect is miniscule.
The more likely option is she is just immune to this particular disease, or would simply be a carrier. Despite, what people often think, a massive viral outbreak will not kill the entire population of the world. Some people are just always immune, doesn't mean they'd be immune to something else.. but their system just may not let one particular disease take hold.
What all do they spend those taxes on, then, if not improving people's standard of living? It's not even like they have a massively-overfunded military machine to dump it all into like the US does.
Bailing out uncompetitive French corporations like Bombardier isn't cheap. Especially when they so often take the bailout money and line management's pockets instead of using it to strengthen their company.
Wish we'd kept Avro Canada around instead of those damnable parasites.
Huzzah! Covid isn't changing anything I was planning to do for the holidays, two years running!
I want to like that post... but...
You know what would improve the world? Instead of "like" and "dislike" buttons, how about "empathy" and "apathy" buttons?

Apathy is the default state of the world these days anyway, it seems.
Why would I care enough to hit an “apathy” button?
So a Belgian kickboxer named Frederic Sinistra became a devoted Covid denier, then inevitably got infected and became ill. His coach had to pressure him into even going to the hospital, because Sinistra's conviction was so strong that he actually denied even being sick. After spending some time in the ICU, he dismissed himself from hospital because apparently you can overcome a shortage of breath with enough willpower?
And then he died. At age 40 (or 41 according to some sources). And his wife assures everyone that he did the right thing and didn't die of Covid. Because of course not.
I said it before and I will say it again: Some people's beliefs are stronger than their own sense of self-preservation, and it's frightening.

That's not a belief. It STOPPED being a belief when he refused to understand he was sick. That is straight up crazy, and apparently it IS transmissible becaise his wife caught it too.

Legault dropped new restrictions tonight. As of TOMORROW!
-Restaurants dining rooms are closed.
-Churches are closed.
-Schools will be on remote learning from return to january 17th.
-Most businesses will be closed on sundays till the end of january.
-Mandatory curfew between the hours of 10 pm and 5 am.
New years is canceled, but it mostly was already seeing as the last round of restrictions had bar capacity at 50% percent, with no dancing or karaoke anyway.
So... yeah. Happy ******* new year.

At least Canada is doing SOMETHING. I'm expecting a jive winter going into a jive spring of COVID infections and probably reinfections. I don't expect anyone of authority down here to really give a crap about this never-ending pandemic. And in the extremely rare event they do....it won't be enforced worth a crap. The ICU has been full since Thanksgiving. I don't expect that to change for months. Just months of watching COVID patient circle the drain until they die.
Yeah, I'm a bit bitter at the moment, especially going out about town and seeing almost NOBODY actually protecting themselves.

Stores have been putting up the "masks required" signs again. Plenty of people are ignoring it and nobody can or will enforce it.
We're all gonna die.
We're all gonna die.
Canada is NOT doing something. The individual provinces are doing things: some to greater extents than others. The prairies are little better than the US right now, and there's probably going to be protests galore due to the cancellation of news years celebrations. Hell: you can't even legally go to your mates place for drinks and snacks since even private gatherings are verboten right now, and even if you COULD: there's still the curfew.
The flip side to that is: I honestly doubt it'll be upheld, except by a few cops and then purely out of spite.
It's going to be awfully difficult for Quebec to enforce limits on gatherings in people's private home, so I suspect the majority of people just aren't going to listen at this point. I'm not even going to bother pondering whether that's the right or wrong thing to do at this point. I'm as sick of these restrictions as anyone, and I wasn't even an overly social person prior to COVID. I mean, we're coming up on 90% of eligible people vaccinated, and still facing restrictions because of a handful of morons? But as I live alone, it's relatively easy for me to follow the restrictions without even a conscious effort. I can't stand in judgement of people who've just had enough and don't have it as easy as myself.
One thing I did indulge in this holiday was to go out on the last day of work with a group of friends from work. Everything closed up early, and so we were able to get out to a restaurant and still enjoy a couple hours before the 10pm last call and 11pm close. It was the first time I'd felt legitimately human in 20 months, and I wouldn't take it back.
Quebec's curfew is something else, and (as far as I know) wholly unique to them among North American jurisdictions. Nobody seems to like it, and experts don't seem to think it's even going to accomplish anything. Personally, I think Legault is walking a dangerous line with his populace. All I can say is that I hope Quebec's restaurant and hospitality industry survives this latest round of restrictions, even though government support is now pretty minimal.
I saw in some translation of Legault's most recent address that he was saying we have a responsibility to protect the unvaccinated from themselves. That's magnanimous of him, but personally I don't feel the same way. I'm entirely willing to sacrifice them, at this point. Any adult who remains unvaccinated by choice has made that choice for themselves, and is usually pretty happy to boast to you about it.
