We cannot let the WHO re-write pandemic history

The organisation’s about-turn on lockdowns has not gone unnoticed

Yesterday the WHO issued an update on progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals. It’s the sort of rewriting of history one would expect from an organisation which has over the past year overseen the biggest collapse in living standards for the global poor since the end of colonialism.

A New Study Confirms That Reopening Texas ‘100 Percent’ Had No Discernible Impact on COVID-19 Cases or Deaths

After Texas became the first state to eliminate both its face mask mandate and its business occupancy limits in early March, President Joe Biden said the decision reflected “Neanderthal thinking.” Gilberto Hinojosa, chairman of the Texas Democratic Party, described Gov. Greg Abbott’s order as “extraordinarily dangerous,” warning that it “will kill Texans.”

Canada is gearing up to reopen. Can it last?

Much of Canada is on the verge of reopening again, with hard-hit provinces lifting lockdowns and mapping out a path to something vaguely resembling normal, while trying desperately to avoid making the mistakes of the past.

The latest advantage we have on our side is COVID-19 vaccines — the Get Out of Jail Free card that will help parts of the country that have been reluctant to impose strict public health measures mitigate another reopening disaster.

“Vaccines are going to blunt the damage of the rush to reopen, but I’d tend to go cautiously and stepwise,” said Dr. David Fisman, an epidemiologist at the University of Toronto’s Dalla Lana School of Public Health. “The single most important thing we can do right now is get people vaccinated.”

Ontario reports 1,794 new Covid cases … India Variant Concern

Ontario reports 1,794 new COVID-19 cases, 20 more deaths

Ontario is reporting fewer than 2,000 new COVID-19 cases for a second day in a row and 20 more deaths on Saturday.

Provincial health officials logged 1,794 new infections today, down from 1,890 on Friday.

U.K. urges caution on COVID-19 variant first seen in India. Should Canadians worry?

Rising cases of the B.1.617.2 variant of the virus that causes COVID-19, first identified in India, have U.K. authorities urging caution, even as they reopen pubs and allow gatherings across the country.

There’s reason to worry about this variant in Canada, experts say, though they add that so far, it hasn’t been proven to get past our vaccines.

‘Black fungus’ disease linked to Covid spreads across India

States across India have begun declaring a “black fungus” epidemic as cases of the fatal rare infection shoot up in patients recovering from Covid-19.

The fungal disease, called mucormycosis, has a 50% mortality rate. It affects patients initially in the nose but the fungus can then spread into the brain, and can often only be treated by major surgery removing the eye or part of skull and jaw.

With Moderna shipments uncertain, Ottawa lowers expectations on vaccine deliveries

OTTAWA – With uncertainty about vaccine maker Moderna’s upcoming shipments, the government is revising projections on how many doses will be in Canada before the end of June.

The government now expects as few as 40 million doses of vaccines could be in Canada before the end of June, down from the 48 million it was expecting. The Liberals have widely used the 48 million figure to promote their vaccination effort.

Given Ontario’s re-opening plan is vaccine rate dependent this can’t help.
