Believe it or not we're still in the same shape. Hospitals are about 75% full and the ICU's are pretty full but at least it's not getting a whole lot worse.

On TV they're pushing the fact that it's "not as bad" as Delta, that your odds of dying from it "aren't as good" so it's "not as dangerous".
What's more, they've cut the quarantine time for a positive covid test from 10 days down to 5. So 5 days after you test positive, as long as you're asymptomatic, you can go right back to work, school, whatever.
Other nations are distancing, masking up, limiting contact and working remotely, we're opening up more and hurling people into the mix at record breaking speed.
Delta CEO says he needs workers so he can stop cancelling flights and by God and sunny Jesus two days later the CDC passes guidelines putting them back to work in 5 days rather than 10. (Originally, it was 14 days under Trump.)
Pretty soon it'll be "just wear a helmet and get your ass back to work, we don't care if you're covid positive."

Our new conservative provincial government is mulling over letting positive people stay at work??!?!?!?!
I'll tell you what it boils down to: they (every nation) have given all the handouts / aid they can give. They've dug themselves into such a huge financial hole that they know is bound to collapse at any moment that they're now just throwing in the towel and telling people to get back to work no matter what.
There's not going to be another aid package from anybody. That's why they're doing this. They figure to send people out to go down swinging. It's all they've got left because they've collectively blown any chance of containing the virus by allowing people to NOT get vaccinated.
In the end, it will be freedom that winds up killing everything: people, business, livelihoods, ways of life, all of it.

They're not going to be happy until we're all fucking dead. I'm lucky. I have my own office. Even those here who don't have their on cubical. The walls are high and they each have their own entrance so they're about as isolated as you get without having a roof and a door. But most people work face to face with people. Like restaurants and shit. There is simply no way on this fucking earth you can run that kind of face to face business safely. You just fucking can't.
But that's the whole point isn't it? Those are the low people on the totem poll. They're the expendable ones. That's how the government and rich see it so that's why they're doing the bullshit they're now doing. Make that buck. Fuck the workers. Plebs. Whatever you want to call them.

Are.
Doing.
NOTHING!
Seriously. Not one single program or caution has been put into place. They're just letting it roll.
So expect those new records to be broken almost daily.
