Uh, if my child is a heroin addict I can still sure as shit tell others not to do heroin.

But yes, this is pretty damaging in terms of public perception, although it seems like she has room temperature IQ and didn't think of the consequences of her actions.

The unfortunate thing about COVID is that it's symptoms aren't terribly visible or really grotesque, and it doesn't have a huge impact on children.

I bet if this was a disease like Measles or Polio that caused visible disfigurement, especially in children, a lot of the anti-vaxxers would probably have a different tune.

I was confused if it was the same daughter with the cookie store, but apparently not. Had to look it up, picture in link because I know MG1 probably wants to see. Link

Karla - wife
Krista - daughter - Anti-vaxxer
Kara - daughter
Kayla - daughter - "Natural Immunity over Masks & Vaccines" Link
Kyla - daughter - Starts cookie company called KyKy's Kookies (KKK). Changes to KKC after public response, KKC website still says KKK all over it. Link

That is what (white) privilege is... freedom of opportunities and choice, including if it's to be a dumbass.

Oh fuck yeah, if Covid made you look like a smallpox patient people would be waiting outside the vaccine centres like it's Black Friday in the States. No one cares about scarred lungs but scarred skin and everyone would freak the fuck out

Look at that list of names. You know a family like that is just ready to yell at a chilis waitress before you can even say fajita.
Edit: Lol I'm glad someone else is as triggered by the name selections as I am.

I used to know a girl in high school that drove a car with a windshield banner that said “Daddy’s Little Princess” I imagine they have all gone through or are going through that phase.

Well ... isn't the Ford family in ON quite the hillbilly clan? Wouldn't be surprised if Doug and wife Karla are like 2nd cousins or something.

742 new cases the last 4 days.
Anyone know if these cases are of the variant?

Those names remind me of another strange family.

I think the majority of cases are just assumed to be the variant at this point. As long as vaccinated people aren't ending up hospitalized at this point, the case load number is not overly concerning in terms of the threat of more lockdowns or being really scared of the numbers. The metrics have changed.

Most cases in a single day yet they leave out the number. But still managed to smear political parties multiple times which is irrelevant to the data. That’s a weird article. At this rate earplugs are the only thing that will protect.

I agree with westopher that cases are meaningless but hospitalizations are more useful to track. That’s what the whole flatten the curve was to reduce hospitalizations. A year and a half ago.

The Canadian government just released that 1380 people under the age of 65 have died as a result of covid in all of Canada since the beginning and 5535 under the age of 65 have died as a result of covid lockdowns due to drugs/alcohol and delayed medical procedures. In a typical year there are 55,000 deaths in the age group 0-65. 50% of total Canadian deaths are caused by cancer and heart disease. Those numbers are right from the government, not cnn/bbc/CBC/Facebook. There is lots of info on it for those that want to play around with it.

So what you are saying is JT has done a great job of keeping covid deaths down.

There is no way to substantiate that. You would need to have 2 control groups in order to come to that conclusion. 1 group who did nothing and 1 group who stood on stickers on the floor. I do know JT has done a great job at spending money.

It’s fairly easy to substantiate.
Look at the death rate increase of any country.
Can you substantiate that those suicide/drugs/delayed procedures are a result of covid? It’s been quantified that suicide rate in Canada hasn’t actually increased since the beginning of Covid until May 2021.
This is coming from someone who’s lost nobody to Covid in the last year and 2 friends to suicide, so I’m not trying to swing the numbers here.
The jury is out on drug use, as we know the toxic drug supply has increased with closed borders, and with the increase in alcohol consumption there’s a pretty good indication drug use increased as well, but they certainly didn’t start at zero before Covid hit, so I’m not sure the increase.
