Add to all that the fallout created by health care workers getting sick. Most people I’ve heard promoting herd immunity etc are completely clueless about the fact that as infection rates climb in the general population so does the risk of those who care for us getting infected.

I Honestly dont think there is any stopping this... AB set a new record today with 1854 new cases.. AB is testing 19,000 people a day. Is that why? If Other places tested more would they have more cases?
I'm just exaughted watching this... Mask have been mandatory for months in the big citys. I Honestly never see anyone with out one. I dont see or hear of any socail gatherings. Folks everywhere I see are focused on getting this under control yet cases keep rising.
I Honestly think it's from pepole going work and just being at work. While wearing a mask. I think most cases are pepole doing everything they can but still getting it.
More restrictions dont work. Every prov6that has tightened restrictions has yet to flatten the curve. Look at Quebec...
Wtf?

No one in authority will ever admit its out of control and unstoppable even if it's the plain truth.

Didn't someone have a chart on here last week that was the government statistics and AB was testing much less than BC, but a lot more cases? I'll try to dig it up.
EDIT: Looks like we are testing about the same but AB has it bad.

Sweden is moving away from its no-lockdown strategy and preparing strict new rules amid rising coronavirus cases
Sweden is preparing to give local authorities the power to strongly recommend people against using public transport and visiting busy public places.

The Vancouver Canucks have parted company with the team’s anthem singer, Mark Donnelly, after he confirmed he will sing ‘O Canada’ this weekend at a downtown Vancouver rally to protest COVID-19 restrictions.
B.C. Christmas Freedom Rally 2020 is set to take place Saturday afternoon outside the Vancouver Art Gallery, the site of multiple anti-mask rallies held throughout the pandemic, often drawing an assortment of anti-mask and anti-vaccine advocates, conspiracy theorists and other far-right figures.

I think that’s ridiculous. He has every right to protest restrictions. Doesn’t mean he should lose his job. Whether you agree with him or not he has that freedom...or should. For all we or anyone knows he could be going there to protest restrictions as a family friend lost their small business or whatever.

There were many vocal season ticket members that said they would not go see another game if he sings the national anthem. Aquilini’s can’t just keep him when they know it hurts their business. Donelly has been singing the anthem for a long time and it was getting stale anyways. I feel likes it’s a good time to change it up and maybe Donnelly wants to retire from it anyways.

Donnelly has every right to attend this event but at the same time he has the right to be criticized. Marie Hui is an excellent replacement and is far more versatile in my opinion. Canucks ownership also has every right to dismiss Donnelly as it directly reflects the brand so this was dumb on his part. Probably should have read his signed Code of Conduct before making the decision to perform at this event. Just my thoughts on the anti-maskers parade.

So, COVID 19 shots are coming real soon according to the Government.
However it seems they are only good for 3 or 4 months.
They have not been around long enough to say they will work long term.
Does this mean you will need shots every 3 to 4 months forever?
Are you planning to get the shot?

I’m a RN and will get the vaccine, as I want to decrease any risk of transmitting to my family and ageing parents. I also have a $3500 flight credit I would like to use and if the vaccine means I can travel to see family it’s a double win. I would prefer I was given a choice of vaccine or at least hear why were getting one vs the other. But it will likely be whatever is available.

Where did you get the info that it only last 3-4 months? Anything that I have heard or read says that it's unknown how long it will last as the studies are too new to know just how long it will be effective. One article that I read said that after 5 months one study showed that it was still effective in the majority of their participants. There will be lots of learnings in the months to come.
I will get the vaccine when it's my turn in the process. In the meantime I will continue to social distance and wear the mask as recommended by folks that know more about this than I do.

I suspect they'll last much longer than that...the reason flu shots don't last long is that flu viruses have a different mechanism of mutation and can swap entire sections of RNA between flu viruses, making for much higher rates of successful mutation.
Coronaviruses can't do that; they mutate at a much slower pace. There will probably be some fraction of the population that turns out not to retain antibodies well for this, I think that happens with a bunch of different diseases. Those are probably the same people who get the occasional re-infection of this. But I suspect that will be very rare and for most of us it'll give at least a few years of protection.
I'm not in any specific rush to get vaccinated but once it's readily available, I will. There's only a tiny chance I would suffer serious consequences from catching C19 but there's a MUCH tinier chance of suffering serious consequences from the vaccine.

VERIFY: How long will the COVID-19 vaccine last once administered?
While knowledge about vaccine induced immunity is still not thorough, scientists and researchers are hard at work to fill in the gaps about the vaccine’s duration.

The COVID-19 vaccine may not last forever. Here’s what would happen next
A vaccine for the novel coronavirus will help for now. But we may need a boost, Fauci says
