we don't have a "Federal Police".
Air Classics was always a bit shady in my opinion.
Today I experienced the second worst experience you can have while driving
Accidental combustion, or hostile gunfire? (probably US?)The Iranian Navy Ship "Khark" was sunk by fire, last night.

resulting in the lowest infection and fatality rates in the nation.
The usual suspects here in Ontario, namely, the news media and certain TV doctors, are trying to whip up a new round of hysteria over a purportedly new COVID variant.
It's not so much annoying as it is infuriating.
Sadly, a good half of the population, I estimate, is still fully brainwashed by the fearmongering drivel pumped out from the "news" outlets here.
Please take this crap to facebook where it belongs.
We have a strict non-politics policy. That's why @DerAdlerIstGelanded said that. As discussions about Covid, measures and numbers usually end up in either conspiracy- or political crap, like everywhere on social media, we don't allow it, except for one little thread here that get strictly moderated.I'm sorry, is being annoyed by COVID actions not an acceptable annoyance for this thread?

The actual source data, the Ontario government's own official data, which I examine every single day, does NOT support the proclamations being made by the media, politicians, and certain public health officials.
They've been pushing the variant threat for a couple of months. First, it was the U.K variant that would bring doom --- but it amounted to nothing. Then, it was the South African and Brazilian variants that would bring doom --- these amounted to nothing as well. Now they're trying to ramp up the Indian variant scare.
Interesting fact the source data shows: the non-LTC case fatality rate is actually LOWER in the spring wave as compared to the winter wave (0.75% versus 0.98%). A lower fatality rate despite 27% MORE cases in the spring and despite the rise of the purportedly more dangerous variants.
Good luck hearing those stats from the media, politicians, or some doctors who seem to spend an inordinate amount of time on TV or Twitter.
The thing about ANY news report from ANY sector is they're just trying to get your attention and sell something. Be it corn flakes, political view, or ratings. Sensationalism or fear mongering is just a way to grab your attention from all the other sources trying to grab your attention. The actual news saying "possible new variant of COVID-19" isn't nearly as good from keeping you from changing channels or hitting the latrine as "THIS IMPORTANT BULLETIN"…….
The stock market reports are equally sensationalized which is how to get people to watch something boring. It's just business as usual.
I was going to point out your misconception, but in light of the recently re-re-emphasized policies, this conversation is over. You get points for yourWell, it helps y'all in that nobody but the "flatlanders" live within three miles of each other.
