He noted that for people who are risk averse, immunocompromised or otherwise trying to avoid infection altogether, a high-quality N95 mask allows you to do things like go to the gym or shop and be relatively well protected.
Experts also said there are benefits to avoiding infection for now, even if it’s possible you contract the coronavirus later: The longer the pandemic goes on, the more we understand about the virus, they said, which means that treatments are likely to be better and more accessible.
“Delaying infections is actually an undervalued or underappreciated point,” Karan said. “Who knows what we’ll have six months or a year from now, right? We’ll have even more things that we can offer patients.”
Nova Scotia government workers who refused COVID 19 shot can return to work March 21
By Staff The Canadian Press
Posted March 10, 2022 1:59 pm
Public sector employees in non-high risk areas who refused to be vaccinated under Nova Scotia’s COVID-19 mandates can return to the job when all remaining public health restrictions are lifted.
Colton LeBlanc, the minister responsible for the Public Service Commission, confirmed following a cabinet meeting today that 84 civil servants can go back to work March 21 when restrictions including the indoor mask requirement for public spaces are dropped.
However, Health Minister Michelle Thompson says there are no plans to allow unvaccinated health employees to return to work.
Currently, being vaccinated for COVID-19 is a condition of employment by Nova Scotia’s health authority, including for all new hires...
N.B. COVID-19 roundup: 3 deaths, 3 youth hospitalized, including 1 in ICU
Horizon and Vitalité hospitals will remain at red alert level after province lifts COVID-19 restrictions
Bobbi-Jean MacKinnon · CBC News · Posted: Mar 10, 2022 12:28 PM AT | Last Updated: 30 minutes ago
Three more New Brunswickers with COVID-19 have died, and three people 19 or under are hospitalized Thursday, including one who requires intensive care, as the province prepares to lift all COVID restrictions next Monday.
Hospitalizations and the number of people in ICU also continued to climb.
Meanwhile, the Horizon Health Network and Vitalité Health Network have both announced their hospitals and health-care facilities will remain at the red alert level, following the removal of Public Health restrictions in the community.
"It is important to maintain these measures as an additional safeguard for the health-care system, as New Brunswick continues to see significant daily case counts and continues to see hundreds of our health-care staff unable to report to work following a positive test," Horizon president and CEO Dr. John Dornan said in a statement.
Vitalité also cited the "high" number of hospitalizations and health-care workers off the job because of COVID.
"It is important to protect the most vulnerable individuals and our health-care workers. This is why the protection measures in effect within the health-care system must be lifted gradually and carefully," it said in a status report.
On Feb. 24, when Premier Blaine Higgs announced plans to remove all measures by March 14, he said: "Horizon and Vitalité say they are managing the situation and are actively transitioning back to normal operation."
On Thursday, Vitalité said its red status will remain in place "until further notice." It's monitoring the situation closely and working with the Department of Health and the Horizon Health Network to plan next steps, it said.
Breakdown of cases
The latest deaths include a person in their 70s in the Moncton region, Zone 1, a person in their 70s and another in their 80s in the Fredericton region, Zone 3.
There are 101 people in hospital, up three from Wednesday, including 18 in intensive care, an increase of two. Six of them are on ventilators.
Of those in hospital, 53 were admitted for COVID-19 and 48 were initially admitted for something else when they tested positive for the virus. Of the 18 in an ICU, 15 are "for COVID" patients.
Public Health confirmed 455 new cases of COVID-19 through lab-based PCR tests, putting the active case count at 3,963, an increase of 106.
An additional 492 people self-reported testing positive on rapid tests...
Gunter: More falsehoods about the convoy are now being retracted

The CBC has retracted a second story it reported about the Freedom Convoy that turned out to be fake.
The first was the absurd allegation that somehow Russians were behind the scenes pulling the convoy’s strings in an effort to destabilize the Canadian government.
On the Jan. 28 edition of CBC’s Power and Politics, host Nil Koksal asserted, “there is concern that Russian actors could be continuing to fuel things as this protest grows or perhaps even instigating it from the outside.”
There was no Russian involvement, nor, as it turned out, any involvement by any other foreign power. Financial investigators couldn’t find a conspiracy by white supremacists, either – another of the Trudeau government’s biased allegations that the CBC swallowed whole.
A second CBC news story, that was corrected this week, involved allegations made by the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) and by Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland, that the convoy could only have raised all the money it did (nearly $10 million, twice, on two different crowdfunding platforms), as quickly as it did, if powerful international interests were funnelling in large sums.
On Feb. 10, the CBC reported it had thoroughly investigated donations given to the Freedom Convoy through the popular online fundraising service GoFundMe. The state broadcaster concluded there were thousands of suspicious donations from foreigners. Even more sinisterly, the CBC added “The donations identified by CBC News are likely only a fraction of all the donations made by people outside of Canada.”
These allegations have been thoroughly debunked by GoFundMe and by GiveSendGo, the second online fundraising platform the convoy organizers had to turn to when false allegations about unscrupulous donations and violence among protestors caused GoFundMe to freeze the first avalanche of contributions the convoy received....
At 11:40 in this video, financial insider Edward Dowd talks about how people in his realm knew about the SARS2 virus about 6 weeks before the knowledge was mainstream. He said he was stocking up at Costco the whole 6 weeks. I wonder how this compares to when the outbreak was first suspected on Flutrackers?

He is referring to the fact that he was 6 weeks ahead of people on Maui where he lives. He had an understanding of how China lies due to his background so he knew that the outbreak news from them was probably only the tip of the iceberg. So he started prepping initially. In January 2020 the mayor of New York City told people to live normally and not pay attention to that pneumonia thing in China. So anyone prepping in January was way ahead of the general population.
Thanks, Sharon! Wiki says Maui's first case was March 6, 2020, so his contacts probably knew about the same time or somewhat after that there was an outbreak that would become global. On Dec. 31st, you posted about pharma stocks surging in China.
I was just surprised he was stocking up so early.
Trying to Solve a Covid Mystery: Africa’s Low Death Rates
...
By Stephanie Nolen

...
The low rate of coronavirus infections, hospitalizations and deaths in West and Central Africa is the focus of a debate that has divided scientists on the continent and beyond. Have the sick or dead simply not been counted? If Covid has in fact done less damage here, why is that? If it has been just as vicious, how have we missed it?
...
A new W.H.O.-led analysis, not yet peer-reviewed, synthesized surveys from across the continent and found that 65 percent of Africans had been infected by the third quarter of 2021, higher than the rate in many parts of the world. Just 4 percent of Africans had been vaccinated when these data were gathered.
So the virus is in Africa. Is it killing fewer people?
...
Sondre Solstad, who runs the Africa model, said that there had been between one million and 2.9 million excess deaths on the continent during the pandemic.
...
But many scientists tracking the pandemic on the ground disagree. It’s not possible that hundreds of thousands or even millions of Covid deaths could have gone unnoticed, they say.
“We have not seen massive burials in Africa. If that had happened, we’d have seen it,” said Dr. Thierno Baldé, who runs the W.H.O.’s Covid emergency response in Africa.
“A death in Africa never goes unrecorded, as much as we are poor at record-keeping,” said Dr. Abdhalah Ziraba, an epidemiologist at the African Population and Health Research Center in Nairobi, Kenya. “There is a funeral, an announcement: A burial is never done within a week because it is a big event. For someone sitting in New York hypothesizing that they were unrecorded — well, we may not have the accurate numbers, but the perception is palpable. In the media, in your social circle, you know if there are deaths.”
...
Some organizations working on the Covid vaccination effort say the lower rates of illness and death should be driving a rethinking of policy. John Johnson, vaccination adviser for Doctors Without Borders, said that vaccinating 70 percent of Africans made sense a year ago when it seemed like vaccines might provide long-term immunity and make it possible to end Covid-19 transmission. But now that it’s clear that protection wanes, collective immunity no longer looks achievable. And so an immunization strategy that focuses on protecting just the most vulnerable would arguably be a better use of resources in a place such as Sierra Leone.
“Is this the most important thing to try to carry out in countries where there are much bigger problems with malaria, with polio, with measles, with cholera, with meningitis, with malnutrition? Is this what we want to spend our resources on in those countries?” he asked. “Because at this point, it’s not for those people: It’s to try to prevent new variants.”
whatever the underreporting is or unusual age-structure - it probably won't change much from wave to wave.
So we can compare omicron-deaths with delta-deaths.
19% of USA COVID-deaths are due to omicron - despite vaccination and Paxlovid
11% in Africa
9% in India
USA has 2923 deaths per M , Africa has 183, India 370
USA has 9.7% of its population >69 years, Africa 2.0%, India 3.4%
assume 3fold underreporting in Africa,India and all deaths are in >69
then the deaths are almost the same in USA,Africa,India

My mom just passed from covid. She had late stage COPD so it was almost a guarantee once she caught it, despite 3 vaccinations. This is just a reminder that this pandemic is not over, not for the clinically vulnerable who did everything right for 2 years. Please wear a mask.
