the situation is far more nuanced. The core of this movement is a group of anti-government extremists, and they are using/duping the truckers to fill out the ranks, do the dirty work, and ultimately take the blame. There are a few similarities to the Jan 6 Capitol rebellion.

Pretty bold statement covering the 40,000 students and employees of SBISD. Do you have a citation for your claim? Of course you also missed that spreading at school affects more than people who are at that school - you know there are still all those relatives, friends, etc that are at risk too. Even if your intent was meant to indicate just your school, that sample size is so ludicrously small that is has no place related to your earlier generalized comment. Also their dashboard shows most SBISD schools have more than a 'handful' of people with COVID right this very second - around a month after the wave crested in Houston in mid-Jan. I am highly suspicious of your claim and my suspicions are informed from data provided by your district and the city of Houston. Where does your 'handful' number come from?

One good thing though is that there is no scientific evidence that catching COVID will cause them any kind of long term issues at all. Nope nothing to see here.



Your mouth frothing does nothing to dismiss his point.

Unvaccinated are more likely to get COVID and have always been the ones clogging up the hospitals regardless of Delta vs Omicron.

I should know better than to discuss such a subject with left leaning liberals. 🙄

After I read Grumpy's post I looked up the SBISD dashboard as well. Currently 316 "active" student cases in a 35,000 student district. It would be interesting to see how many active cases there are in districts with mask mandates.

You made a statement, Exterous disagreed and posted data to back up why he/she disagrees, then asked you to provide data to back up your claim, then you resorted to name calling.

You guys are right, I agree with everything you said. However John Hopkins study does not:

John Hopkins study on Covid Mortality.

You guys believe what you want, it really doesn't matter to me. Covid is a political issue now in my opinion. Moving on.

We already had a thread about that. You could read through it and learn something or just stick your head in the sand and ignore it. The science says you'll likely stick your head in the sand, but I'm hoping you'll prove those leftist scientists wrong.
 
For my personal knowledge, it's nice to learn idosyncrasies of a foreign country.

So, Canada has had their hospitals running at a tight limit even before the pandemic.

Why Canada's hospital capacity was so easily overwhelmed by the COVID pandemic

For two years, COVID-19 has been highlighting a crisis of Canadian hospital capacity that has been limping along for decades

Star Editorial Board: We’ve cheaped out on hospital beds. COVID shows that must stop

‘If we’ve learned anything from the trauma of COVID, it’s that cheaping out on hospital care will cost us even more in the long run.’

Okay, read through the whole thing. So I'm now very confident that I'm correct as usual. Thanks for playing though. Enjoy the Super Bowl, go Bengals.

My daughter attended SBISD here in Houston where masks were optional the last couple of years and no teacher, administrator or janitor died because of infection due to Covid. None of the kids wore masks and they were always in person classes, no online. Only a handful even had it. I can only speak from our experience here. Your area may of been different/worse.

Here is the results of 2 years of studying covid infections of kids in Ontario (from the Government of Ontario):

* Children account for 12.9% of the 545,398 confirmed COVID-19 cases reported in Ontario, yet
they account for 18.7% of the Ontario population.

* The cumulative rate of infection among children is approximately 1.6 times lower (2,523.7 per
100,000) than adults (3,932.0 per 100,000). Among children, rates were highest (3,367.6 per
100,000) for 14 to 17 years olds.

* The most frequently reported acquisition exposure type among cases in children was close
contact with a confirmed case (53,103 cases, 75.7%). In contrast, the proportion of children
reporting a link to an outbreak setting was low (6,239 cases, 8.9%).

* The proportion of severe outcomes, including hospitalizations, ICU admission, deaths and
complications are much lower among cases in children compared to adults. Two deaths have
been reported in children compared to 9,255 deaths reported among adults.

So you read about how it's a misleading junk "study" but have decided to believe in it even harder. I forgot the leftist science says conservatives are more likely to have that type of reaction as well.

Yes, I am doubling down. Thank you for your response.

Same type of people from the Jan 6 rebelion. People deeply influenced by the conspirational garbage online. They can't figure out wha'ts real or not.
It's sad to see so much stupidity.
 
Looks like they are getting more counter protesters now.

Is it? Seems like Pre-Emption.
 
Spread on the news media that it's also a trans-Canada Gay Pride Parade. See how quick those right-wing truckers decide to drop support. Co-opt those bitches.

I find it interesting how this flares up while Russia prepares for the invasion of Ukraine. Even if there is no intentional connection, it still works to undermine our ability to exert power/influence.

This "Protest" is effectively an Occupation including a few Sieges for extra effect. Given the outlandish demands, it is also effectively an Insurrection. Trudeau is trying to nuance through this to avoid permanent rifts, offering the "Truckers" an Out, but they seem deadset against that.

At this point I am thinking the Military is being readied and I am not upset if it gets used.

Yes I do too
I think most anti vax stuff begins as propaganda from some s-hole country.
