The Sun UK - a British tabloid - has rebuked Prime Minister Trudeau
for his claim that Britain might be facing a Third Wave of the pandemic.
Well, Ontario certainly is, clocking in at some 5000 new cases per day.and
a strained hospital system, the majority of these cases being the so-called
British variant. What's different about Britain itself: the vaccination rate.
Over half the British population has received a first dose, and that is making
a difference to the point where pubs have been allowed to re-open.
Canada has been off to the races in buying vaccines, but not in receiving them
or vaccinating people effectively. Here in Quebec, vaccination is on with
no appointment vaccination for those willing to receive the AstraZeneca
vaccine. We have a high overall death rate because so many elderly people
succombed in the first phase, but vaccine roll-out by age group seems to be
working in calming caseloads for now.
Personally, I am lying low although vaccinated with the Pfizer. Just reading
yesterday that it might not be as effective against certain variants, and the makers
predict we will need a third jab and perhaps yearly vaccination thereafter,
I go out for necessary shopping, and am grateful the Shopping Mall is
accessible.
We are a long way from a decent perspertive on what this pandemic has been
all about...
