Since this started I predicted lockdowns would do a lot of harm and protect very few. A study from Johns Hopkins confirmed that.

It has gone on too long. It is destroying the world. Time we learned how to live with it. We have vaccines and treatments. No more lockdowns and restrictions.

I find myself in full agreement with a member of the Kennedy clan. RFK jr said the US' officials' handling of the pandemic if a 'catastrophic exercise in bad government.'

Canada's economy lost 200,000 jobs last month, according to Statistics Canada, as COVID-19 shutdowns related to the Omicron variant saw many businesses close up shop.



The data agency reported Friday that the decline pushed the unemployment rate up half a per cent, to 6.5 per cent.



Most of the job losses were concentrated in Ontario and Quebec, two provinces that saw some of the hardest and earliest surges of the Omicron-driven wave, and which both moved to lock down in reaction.



On top of those who lost jobs entirely, the number of people who reported they worked less than half of their normal hours also skyrocketed, up by 620,000 people during the month.

Australia said on Monday it will reopen its borders to vaccinated travellers this month, ending two years of misery for the tourism sector, reviving migration and injecting billions of dollars into the world No. 13 economy.

During these past two years, nobody was allowed in or out?

Of all COVID meausres implented, the ones I disagree most with were ones that affect children's development.



This was sent to me.



The Alberta Federation of Labour is in court today seeking an order to force all kids to wear masks in schools.



They believe kids should wear masks indefinitely and are opposed to Jason Kenney's plan to return to normal.



And guess what, they're backed by Rachel Notley.



In fact, the AFL helps run the Alberta NDP and hold seats on their governing council. It's in their constitution.



Children have carried an unfair share of the burden during COVID.  



Jason Kenney and our team believe it's time to let kids be kids.  



England, Scotland, Ireland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, South Africa, Finland, Saskatchewan, Ontario, PEI and many U.S. States are returning to normal just like Alberta. We believe it is time to shift to a balanced approach where we are able to live with COVID and get on with our lives.

Nope.



Not even Australians holidaying or living abroad who wanted to get home.



In effect, banning citizens from entering their own country, contrary to our Constitution and indeed the conditions upon which a passport is issued. Passport holders are entitled to free passage into their own country.



Memories wont fade.

I don't mind old Morrison, especially when compared to Justine or that stunned cunt in New Zealand. But, man that was pretty frickin extreme.

Ontario is poised to lift its proof of vaccination requirement, and many employers are following suit recalling unvaccinated employees.

So, that is what two COVID deaths  on Biden's watch for every one death on Trump's watch. Remember Biden saying Trump shouldn't be president because too many people died of COVID.

Beginning tomorrow, most mask mandates and vaccine restrictions will be lifted in New York City, with the bizarre exception of mask mandates for children under five years old. New York City Mayor Eric Adams, who announced the change, said, "We're far from out of the woods. COVID is still here. But we are beating it back."



The city of Boston has also dropped its mask mandate for most indoor places, with the exception of public transportation, health care facilities, and public schools. The city health board has scheduled a meeting for March 9th to discuss whether masks will continue to be required in Boston public schools. Los Angeles also lifted their mask mandate last week, ending potential sources of embarrassment for mayor Eric Garcetti, who has repeatedly been photographed violating his own mask mandate. Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota, along with numerous other large cities, are also following suit.
