RE: Newfoundland covid self-isolation down to 7 days9 Jan 2022 18:32
antharry,
What I'd like to see is consistency in policy-making. Did you know that, according to the WHO, there were 1.5 million deaths from TB in 2020 (tuberculosis, not Toby Bradbury!). I'm seeing various research articles with sample sizes of different make-up saying it's got 40-50% hospitalisation rate. Yes, reported Covid deaths for 2020 are higher, but that's not distinguishing deaths from it and with it, and ignoring the financial incentives hospitals have had to report deaths as a Covid death (not conspiratorial, now widely known, exposed by medical practitioners themselves).
It's interesting that we are not seeing mass hysteria about that in the media and not mandating BCG (Bacillus-Calmette-Guerin) vaccines (it's a fun one, leaves a scar on your shoulder). I've got one, do I now get to feel morally superior and outraged at everyone who doesn't?
And then, on a whim, they decide, you know what, it's actually not 10 days to isolate, it's 5/7. This is not based on any science.
