Biden is nothing more than a puppet he’s not calling the shots it’s the crazy left people that are using him to push their agenda
That just doesn't match reality. Joe has repeatedly steered clear of the left. He was chosen to wipe out Bernie by uniting the moderate dems.
Also worth noting the left in the usa is only asking for things like universal health care and police reform. Its not like they are bolsheviks. The communist boogieman has been scaring people down their since the 50's, despite the fact there are next to no communists anywhere.

Kids don't usually show major symptoms. They can spread it though.
Yep, many kids and adults are asymptomatic because their immune systems are strong enough to fight off the virus right away (thus they don't get sick).
Transmission is the threat for the elderly though, many of whom can have a hard enough time fighting off the common flu.

The increase in cases was pretty predictable... we're in the middle of the Diwali surge right now. No one was talking about this a couple weeks ago (because "that's racist" or something ( but of course blaming Thanksgiving isn't racist at all )). The question now is whether it's too late to turn things around before Christmas. Even if we could cut the current case levels in half, that would still be a very elevated number. I don't expect restrictions to be relaxed anytime soon.

I think it's been a few weeks already where Fraser health always seemed to be reporting the most covid cases.Some people's suspicions were realized as it was finally made public about a week ago on Global National that the epicenter of covid infections in Canada were the large south Asian communities in Surrey,BC and Brampton,Ontario. Not only do they have very large families living under the same roof but a lot of them work in health care, and many have 2 jobs ,one South Asian person told me once they had 3 jobs.
^Guess we'll see. It looked like we'd hit a new record on Tuesday, but it turned out they had confused the numbers and underreported on previous days. The positivity rate does appear to be decreasing very slightly, but it's still pretty steady around 10%. I think we should have a better idea of the trend by Monday.

Vancouver Sun reporting 887 new cases and 13 deaths today. We'll see if these numbers are revised.
God Damn. Well if my quick math is right, we've surpassed Ontario and Quebec by quite a bit when you adjust for population. And a good bit of it is right here in Surrey.

See my chart above. Ontario has the fewest cases per capita of all the major provinces.

No need to curse or blame God. You're an atheist, remember? Anyways I'd appreciate if you wouldn't use God's name in vain, thanks.
