A
total of 1,469 people have now been hospitalized for or with COVID-19
since the respiratory season began on Aug. 27, 94 of whom required
intensive care, while the flu has sent 539 to hospital, with 50 of them
admitted to ICU (Shutterstock)
COVID-19
has killed two more New Brunswickers, while a child under four and
two youths aged five to 19 are among those hospitalized by the flu,
Tuesday's Respiratory Watch report shows.
"COVID-19 activity
remains moderate; some indicators (number of cases, percent positivity,
and number of deaths) remained stable during the current reporting
period," April 7 to April 13, the report says.
Influenza activity decreased slightly, it says.
The two people who died from COVID during the reporting week were both aged 65 or older.
Eighteen people were hospitalized for or with COVID, up from 11 in the previous report.
None required intensive care, down from two
Of those hospitalized, two were aged 45 to 64, while the others were 65 or older.
Lab-confirmed
COVID outbreaks dropped to two, from four. Neither outbreak was in a
nursing home. They were both in "other facilities," the report says.

There
were 27 new cases of COVID confirmed through PCR (polymerase chain
reaction) lab tests, up slightly from the 25 cases confirmed the
previous week
The positivity rate — or the percentage of lab tests
performed that produced a positive result — remains unchanged at three
per cent.
A total of 151,677 COVID-19 vaccines have now been administered since Oct. 4, the Department of Health said.
No flu deaths were reported between April 7 and April 13, according to the report.
The
flu sent five people to hospital that week and none to ICU. That's
down from eight and two, respectively, in the previous report.
No flu outbreaks were reported, down from one.
Influenza-like
illness outbreaks in schools increased to two, from one a week
ago. No details are provided, but school outbreaks are based on absence
of 10 per cent because of influenza-like illness symptoms, according to
the report.
I just got this email from the Wannabe Prez Kennedy
Dear David,
Why wasn’t Dr. Anthony Fauci charged with a crime, when
he lied under oath about his relationships with Peter Daszak and Ralph
Baric in order to cover-up Wuhan Coronavirus research?
Apparently, lying under oath is only a crime when it contradicts established narratives.
Medical institutions, guided by figures like Dr. Fauci,
overlooked and underreported critical issues such as vaccine injuries
and their emerging long-term side effects.
This DEADLY negligence has been part of a broader, troubling trend that prioritizes profits over public health.
The consequences of these policies have been dire. Dr.
Fauci's leadership during the pandemic has been associated with some of
the highest COVID-19 mortality rates in the world. And remember – he was
a bureaucrat with the full support of both Presidents Trump and Biden.
Moreover, his decisions have had devastating economic
impacts, including massive job losses and closures of businesses,
disproportionately affecting Black-owned businesses and plunging
millions globally into severe poverty.

"The two people who died from COVID during the reporting week were both aged 65 or older.
Their deaths raise the provincial pandemic total to at
least 1,030. The actual number is unclear because the Department of
Health counts only people who die in hospital as COVID deaths."

In the early 20 century when the world's
population was less than 2 billions and what takes now hours to travel
then was taking days (if not weeks) and the medicine was in its infancy
the 1918 Influenza killed anywhere between 20 to 50 millions, mostly
young and healthy. Then two years it was gone, history. Today, with
extremely advanced medicines somehow a disease that almost exclusively
affects either the very old or individuals with other severe medical
issues still lingers...

Which pandemic - the influenza one of 1918 or the
coronavirus one of 2020? Your OP appears to discuss the 1918 one.
If you are discussing responses in general, every
response policy or mandates have pros and cons as to how they are
handled. For some viruses, we may have no previous knowledge to
understand the epidemiology. Sometimes, the SME's and scientists are
making decisions "on the fly" as the event is actually unfolding.
Protocols for unknowns cannot be 100% predicted.

First off, at the beginning, we had no
vaccine...............and we did not have any real mandates at first
...........in Canada.......because, we had no real scientific
information on this brand new virus.........The Vaccine was very
effective on Alpha..........then it mutated............the virus.
Mandates were for the most part provincial........with BC being one of
the first to install some.......remember...this virus started in
2019.......and my better half was still traveling by plane in March

so you could be driving down the road with a sub-clinical Covid infection that you are not even aware of
that infection causes a clot that lodges in your coronary artery and results in a myocardial infarction
