Oh by the way, as of yesterday your fully vaxxed percentage is 62%. Check the CDC for data.

OK so what is the reason for the variation in outcomes between Canada and the US?

OK fine, 69% fully vaxxed. Never mind the single dose, that does not match up to the fully vaxxed 82% in Canada. I don't understand why you won't answer the question...why are US deaths occurring at more than 3 times the rate in Canada? I feel certain that you have an opinion. What is the explanation? If you want to say that you don't know, at least that would be an answer.

62% is yesterday, beckershospitalreview. I'm not interested in Israel, it is in an entirely different part of the world. I want to know why 2 countries that are side by side have such dramatically different results. I feel certain that you have an opinion - why won't you share it?

No, but...what is the answer to my question? Why is the USA so drastically worse than Canada?

Do you have a theory about why the date rate is so appalling in the USA? It is more than 3 times greater than in Canada. Why is that happening? If the answer is not in the vaccination rates, then where could it be?

I have some numbers for consideration: USA: Vax 62% of total population, deaths per million 2,500 Canada: Vax 82% of total population, deaths per milion 788

I think that it is evident that the vaccines did indeed prevent the majority of peop!e from contracting Alpha and Delta. You could see it in the daily cases before Omicron - the 10% of the population that was unvaccinated was responsible for 75% of the new cases. Now Omicron seems to have evolved to evade the vaccine, hardly surprising. It is possible though that the vaccines still do reduce the severity. All things considered it is pretty silly to suggest that the vaccines "don't work".

What I took from that article is that they were both doomed to die because there was no one to help her with her medical bills.

I agree, Siemens executives had the attention span of a fruit fly but that did not impede their arrogance.

I certainly hope not, that would qualify as "as stupid as the Rangers". Sorry Correa, that shortstop job has been filled and we are moving on for more pitching.

I have done some work with Siemens in the past, and can report that they are still the master race. They really don't get it.

Ha ha that didn't age well.

Where do you get this nonsense? I hope the ringing in your ears stops soon.

I'm going to do my own research on census data.

I'm surprised to hear that Detroit is a problem, I thought that OCP had cleaned that all up.

Ha ha, I forgot about that guy! What an asshole.

I might have been interested in this deal a year ago, when "buying a prospect" would have been more appealing. But now, on the verge of having a good team, it seems like a step backwards. I keep reminding myself that Avila has a budget that has been set by ownership. For all we know, he has already spent it. But if he hasn't, if there is still $20 million left, I don't want to spend it on a stiff like Myers who is the 4th OF at best on the Tigers, just to get a prospect who might turn out to be good, or might not. I want to spend it on another starter and a reliever.

Larish looks good at third base. He moves well for a big man, has soft hands and a strong, accurate arm.

Oh OK. They were the "swing" team in the East that year I think.

Oh ye of little faith. Didn't 35-5 start out on the coast? That just my recollection without looking it up

Did you see those French guys? They weren't laughing. They knew that their opponent had just become more powerful than they were before they performed it.

I think that when you perform the haka, it does not matter whether or not the opponent is intimidated. The main reason that it is so powerful is the effect that it has on you, not them. It is how you motivate yourself.

Exactly the same here. Maybe Omicron results directly in deaths, maybe not, but it looks like it is going to completely overwhelm the hospitals, and deaths will result at least indirectly from that.

I don't think that anyone can answer your Omicron questions yet, it is too new. Where you and I differ is that I didn't get vaxxed so that I can stop wearing a mask, the vaccine was never advertised that way. I might stop wearing a mask when the virus reaches some long term stability, with infection rates of less than 100 per day in a population of 14 million. Or I might not.
