Shorty mcjizzy:
Now i understand why your grandparents have been avoiding you during this pandemic!
Have you noticed that your employees no longer come to the office? Why would they want to come to an office run by someone like you who considers
public health and expectations of manners and common courtesy to be selfish?

Anti-science protests. Lack of knowledge and/or lower than average IQ, coupled with ego-centrism. I don't even bother answering to anti-masking,
anti-vaxing and similar statements anymore. There is no substance there, only arguments of the "I don't want" kind.

Eugenicists, globalists, racists, genocidal, ignorant, technologist, obsessed with genetic modification, societal control, surveillance, enslavement,
exploitation, oppression.
Hard to imagine what these people believe or why they are obsessed with pursuing an agenda to cause intentional harm through forced injections. They
will eventually be held accountable, everyone of them.

Look a couple pages back. 10 states just decided to "not follow the science" (i.e. guidance from the CDC). The White House is now making Covid
decisions based on polling data.
The "science" has been all over the map.
Don't conflate "anti-mandate" with "anti-vax." Very few ppl are anti-vax. For example, only 25% of parents have gotten their young childred
vaccinated. Are you gonna call them anti-vaxxers?
Covid is not black and white. The ppl who dig in on one side aren't doing anyone any good.

One of the better arguments I've read. As a teacher, and a firearms owner.

Well said Marty. The delusion fueled logic derailment is stunning. I feel second hand embarrassment for those ignorant fooks.

Looks like not only has BCS gone green, but cases are continuing to fall off rapidly. Any further reductions in restraints in La Paz noticed locally,
or are all the mask and temperature testing requirements still in force?

Masks are finally not required in LA. One of the last hold outs.
Maybe 30-40% wear them optionally.

Thanks JZ, Perhaps we can finally get back to a more normal life again. When I was last in La Paz in October, although they were in green level, masks
were still mandatory and large stores checked temps at entry, some beach areas were still closed to public. Just wondering if that has changed down
there as well?

Masks were mandatory when I was in Todos Santos in February, and I would put compliance at close to 100%. At the time, BCS was at level "yellow". I'm
not sure what the situation is one month later.

I was just in Los Barriles early March. Masks were still required? In stores.
Our shuttle driver said people in Mexico were glad to be vaccinated. I suppose a mild dig at their neighbors to the north.

Mandatory masks will likely be the last thing to be dropped there from what we saw in October. We here in BC Canada are dropping them in almost all
situations tonight, as well as vaccination passports as of Apr 8, so perhaps we are a bit ahead of Baja on the decline trajectory. Spring Break return
to schools apparently to be decided yet.

My kid is down in the Dominican Republic right now with his college friends. They flew down from Michigan. No Spring break restrictions by the
colleges this year. Last year they didn't give a week off.
He said there are 2,000 kids at just his resort. Sounds like lots of debauchery and no Covid concerns.
The world has definitely moved on, and that's an awesome thing to say.

Sounds like a Petri dish for a new variant to develop and spread anew…
Funny what kids do for spring break now. Many moons ago I spent all my spring breaks doing road trips to climb or ski, I never even knew
drinking-to-blackout-drunk-for-a-week-on-the-beach was a thing.
Woke!

Here in Canada case numbers and hospitalizations have dropped off that horrible peak of midwinter and stabilized at the level 10 times higher than
during the 1st wave. In BCS it's pretty much the same - as high as during the 1st wave.

The good news being the Case Fatality Rates are the lowest ever, the patients admitted to hospitals for Covid has plummeted and much milder
asymptomatic cases are far higher. Either by better treatment after exposure or the milder symptoms, we seem to be exiting the Pandemic stage and
entering a new way of dealing with it long term.
https://ourworldindata.org/mortality-risk-covid
This is a few days old and was a huge drop from the previous update, so the trend seems to be the same in BCS, where everyone i know personally that
contracted Omicron had flu like symptoms and recovered quickly within a few days.

The best part is, I am again able to visit with (and even hug) my kids and grand kids, and visit elderly senior friends and relatives in the care
homes again in their final months on this earth. Health care workers and teachers previously laid off have been asked to return to their jobs and the
threatened fines for the unvaccinated were never established. What a difference 3 weeks has made.

JDCanuck, hospitalizations in Canada have plummeted compared to Christmas when healthcare was on the brink of collapse. Now they are "only" 10 times
higher than during the 1st wave.
It is unlikely that drop in hospitalizations was caused by "better treatment after exposure or the milder symptoms". There is no treatment for
asymptomatic cases in Canada, we don't have Evushield. Regeneron is prescribed to high-risk patients with mild to moderate symptoms and even with
these limitations the drug is in a severe shortage.
Case fatality has been dropping since the 1st wave. There are few possible reasons though none could be interpreted as "exiting the Pandemic stage",
IMO. Mostly this has to do with the in-patient treatment. They now know better how to not let you die when you got severe symptoms and/if you managed
getting to a decent hospital in time.

Post some actual stats. Hard to believe any of this is true.
You went on a rant 3-4 years ago that BoLA had rocks in the beans they sold in the markets. So I'm taking these comments with a big grain of slaw.

Hi Alm: Which part of Canada would you be looking at? Our cases, deaths and hospitalizations due to Covid are way way down and so our very cautious
health leaders have removed almost all mandates, with more yet to disappear following spring break(assuming there is no reversal of this very positive
trend). I thought we were one of the last in Canada to relax these mandates?
As to this: "JDCanuck, hospitalizations in Canada have plummeted compared to Christmas when healthcare was on the brink of collapse. Now they are
"only" 10 times higher than during the 1st wave."
They have finally announced they are planning on reversing the decades long reduction in beds per capita and opening up more nurse training spots:
