    Talk radio hosts are essentially self-appointed experts on pretty much everything.

    I just wondered for a moment if they know as much about everything else they pontificate on as they do about Covid?

    Entertaining article but it does not accurately describe the situation here. For one, the described lockdowns other than at border crossings, were exclusively within the jurisdiction of provincial governments. The Feds were only responsible for the approval, procurement and distribution of vaccines to the provinces and territories. All other measures were discretionary and at the support and request of the provinces. The Trudeau government did and continues to do an excellent job in this regard.

    The current inflation rate is probably the least concerning issue people have with the Trudeau Liberals. All parties, O'Toole's Conservatives included, propose increased spending on the health care, environment, infrastructure and social programmes. The main issue people have is that the Trudeau Liberals have called an unnecessary election when it could have easily continued to govern in its minority with continued the support of other parties in the House not including the official opposition, Conservatives. Arrogance on the part of Liberals.

    On Monday I will not be voting for the Liberal candidate in my riding, nor will I vote for the Conservative candidate. Rather, my vote will go to the NDP incumbent.

    Why? You're the one vaccinated.

    What do you have to be afraid of?

    This is where the CDC’s policy of only counting hospitalizations for breakthrough cases is dangerous…

    You lost me a bit...Care to explain for the slow folks?😊

    Everybody is believing that they are much safer from spread if they are among other vaccinated individuals, but Delta is spreading through vaccinated groups at only a slightly lower pace than the unvaxxed.

    Do you honestly think you are comparing apples to apples? Are you saying the rate of infection is the same, the hospitalizations are the same and the deaths are the same? I don’t think so because you are vaccinated so I am missing something.

    Well, the CDC thinks he has a point. This is an excerpt from their 8/2/21 update:

    Added a recommendation for fully vaccinated people who have come into close contact with someone with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 to be tested 3-5 days after exposure, and to wear a mask in public indoor settings for 14 days or until they receive a negative test result.

    Now, if the CDC thinks a vaccinated person needs to quarantine and be tested after a viable incubation period, what does that say to everybody?

    Props to @Loki I didn’t think Newsome would clear 60%.

    Thanks I do think there was a longish moment that folks (media/analysts) didn’t know what was going on but then milked it because that’s the business model.

    At first I thought the guy on the right was George Carlin instead of . . . um, Boris Karloff?
