Ontario reports 788 new Covid cases … Omicron kicks off world tour

Ontario reports 788 new COVID-19 cases, 3 deaths

Ontario is reporting 788 new COVID-19 cases today as the seven-day rolling average of new infections approaches 800.

Omicron COVID-19 variant poses ‘very high’ global risk, WHO warns

The heavily mutated Omicron COVID-19 variant is likely to spread internationally and poses a very high risk of infection surges that could have “severe consequences” in some places, the World Health Organization said on Monday.

No Omicron-linked deaths had yet been reported, though further research was needed to assess its potential to escape protection against immunity induced by vaccines and previous infections, it added.


OMG! It’s here! – “Today, the province of Ontario has confirmed two cases of the Omicron variant of COVID-19 in Ottawa, both of which were reported in individuals with recent travel from Nigeria. Ottawa Public Health is conducting case and contact management and the patients are in isolation,” read the statement Sunday.

Let’s keep things in perspective when dealing with COVID-19

The media and some politicians are once again focussing on case numbers when dealing with COVID-19, despite the fact that public health officials believe hospitalizations and ICU capacity is more important to focus on.

If the focus is on case numbers again, it’s important to keep things in perspective.

Media panic that new COVID variant could pose ‘significant threat’ to Joe Biden’s agenda

More than a year removed from Biden’s promise to eradicate COVID, cases of the virus are spiking once again, and Biden has even enacted a new travel ban to eight African countries amid fear that the new “Omicron” variant could lead to another wave of cases. Biden, then, has not ended the pandemic, nor has his administration implemented a plan to stop the pandemic like he promised.

Ontario Confirms First Two Cases of Omicron Variant

Today, Christine Elliott, Deputy Premier and Minister of Health and Dr. Kieran Moore, Chief Medical Officer of Health issued the following statement:

“Today, the province of Ontario has confirmed two cases of the Omicron variant of COVID-19 in Ottawa, both of which were reported in individuals with recent travel from Nigeria. Ottawa Public Health is conducting case and contact management and the patients are in isolation.

The best defence against the Omicron variant is stopping it at our border. In addition to the measures recently announced, we continue to urge the federal government to take the necessary steps to mandate point-of-arrival testing for all travellers irrespective of where they’re coming from to further protect against the spread of this new variant.

Omicron variant patients have ‘very mild symptoms,’ doctor says

Media in overdrive to advocate for vaccines in kids aged 5-11

Why are we rushing to vaccinate little kids against a virus that doesn’t make them sick?

Why do legacy media reports on this topic look like infomercials for pharmaceutical companies?

COVID Zero Is the Technocracy’s Test Run

Australia embraces the science of control.

At the beginning of this September, the Atlantic — a mouthpiece of the progressive professional managerial class if there ever was one — ran an unexpected article criticizing Australia for its COVID-19 policies. The piece, titled “Australia Traded Away Too Much Liberty,” ponders whether the country’s eliminationist approach toward the virus has rendered it undeserving of the title of liberal democracy.

Is the supply chain stealing Christmas — or are the mandates?

Did you think we were having supply chain issues? Just wait until the vaccine mandates — cross-border and federal — kick in

Did you think we were having supply chain issues? Just wait until the vaccine mandates — cross-border and federal — kick in. We haven’t seen anything yet.

“The supply chain that stole Christmas” has been dominating headlines all over the place for over a month now, even in The Spectator. Senator Mike Lee’s office is having fun with it too. The senator has just introduced the Surpassing Temporary Obstructions at Ports and Guaranteeing Resources to Increase the Nation’s Commercial Health Act — or STOP the GRINCH Act.

More on that in a moment — but first, why are we hearing so much about the supply chain lately?

If forced vaccination doesn’t work, then what?

ONE of the funnier comments I have seen about Austria’s reversion to fascistic form was from Konstantin Kisin of Triggernometry fame. Asked what he thought of the Vienna government’s decision to make vaccination compulsory, he said he respected ‘their right to re-enact their history and traditions’.

Quite. Not long after, despite generally thinking themselves superior to their southerly neighbours, the Germans were followed suit. Everyone in Deutschland is going to be jabbed. It is not immediately clear how they will vaccinate those ingrates who cling to the outdated belief of bodily autonomy.

WHO skips two letters in Greek alphabet to avoid naming latest COVID variant “Xi” after Communist Chinese dictator whose slave state unleashed world wide plague

The World Health Organization appeared to skip two letters in the Greek alphabet when it announced Friday the name for the latest coronavirus variant, which was first identified in South Africa.

Nu and Xi were apparently the next letters in the Greek alphabet that have yet to be used for a variant, according to data on their website.
