Another day and more unprecedented numbers in our pandemic. Once again Quebec has set a new COVID-19 record. The province is reporting 13,149 new confirmed cases today, that’s the highest daily case count recorded by any province or territory at any time during the pandemic. Ontario also set a record today with more than ten thousand new infections. The province is also seeing a jump in hospitalizations and ICU admissions. At least five other provinces and territories have set new single day highs and those are just the confirmed cases, the true number of infections in this country is expected to be much higher. Many public health agencies are struggling to keep up with testing demands and as Abigail Bimman explains the onslaught of Omicron is forcing many provinces and territories to reconsider their protocols.
In the U.S., COVID-19 cases have soared to the highest on record. The country is averaging more than 250,000 new confirmed cases daily, driven by Omicron. The Centers for Disease Control now says the variant accounts for almost 60 per cent of all new cases. As Jennifer Johnson reports, there’s concern that number could grow even more with New Year’s Eve celebrations.
In Hong Kong, police raided the largest pro-democracy news outlet in the city. Current and former employees were arrested and operations at Stand News were suspended. It comes just six months after an independent news outlet was shut down under Beijing’s new national security laws. Redmond Shannon reports.
A year of extreme weather is ending with dangerously cold temperatures across most of the west. A deep freeze has settled over much of B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. The unusually cold weather is causing all kinds of problems, from frostbite and frozen pipes to cancelled COVID clinics. Heather Yourex-West has more.
COVID-19 has fuelled job and income losses for women more than men and in Canada the so-called “she-cession” isn’t over according to employment experts. Nearly two years since the global pandemic began it’s taking a different toll on women. It’s impacted their ability to hold down a job and progress in their careers. Anne Gaviola explains.
Across the country soaring COVID-19 cases have forced many public officials to give up on contact tracing. Instead, Canadians are being asked to warn people they’ve been in contact with to isolate and monitor for symptoms. But there’s another tool available: the federal government’s COVID Alert app. But as David Akin reports, it isn’t being talked about or used anymore.
A Toronto family is issuing a heartfelt plea, taking on the battle of their lives for the sake of their young daughter. The toddler has an ultra-rare genetic disorder, few children in the world have. And right now there’s no treatment. As Caryn Lieberman reports, every moment in the search for a cure counts.

Canada, 31.12.2021. New cases: 41,217 (record). New deaths: 39 (including 35 with morbidities). 1 dead for 1,000 people sick. WHO IS STILL AFRAID? And WHY Legault closes Quebec with his idiotic lockdown of the New Year's Eve? People, this ask for a different response.
Propaganda much?
Three hospitalizations and 79 cases of covid has none of its healthcare capacity crumbling I don't think so pal
Do not believe it at all…until when they are going to put fear in peolple?? As someone wrote in some place " for two year people have been washed their hand and for twoo year they have been washed people brain..
propaganda garbage
How about BIG PHARMA selling a shoddy almost useless so called vaxx at huge costs, the same huge corporations in league with authoritarian government, and the lying, twisting scumbag media cartel. They intend to roll this into a permanent internal passport system, same as the Nazis, and Soviets, and especially in line with the Chinese Communist social credit score system, of absolute dystopian boot on neck forever authoritarianism.
Enough with the lies
Dislike! No data just propaganda.
BLM riots didn’t matter tho
2018 HAVENT SEEN MY FAM DONT YOU DARE CLOSING BORDERS WHEN ALL OF THESE PEOPLE FLY PRIVATELY WHENEVER THET WANT!!!
Everyone should stop watching all these videos and stop commenting on anything to do with Covid, it just fuels there funds to produce this +*^% content PERIOD Get over the modern day flu 😷
Stop getting tested for a cold.
Ask John Tory to use the money from renaming Dundas St. Please real priorities not just phantom causes for SJW. All the best to this and other people affected by sickness that need real funding.
This propaganda machinery resembles Nazi propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels. IN order to plot against Jews first Nazis tried the boycott however they realized it doesnt work. German people still went to Jewish shops So Goebbels consolidated media put central control and then it actually won German people in hate of Jews.
Here exactly same strategy is used in order to achieve result to spread propaganda. Sure enough Goebbels didnt have TV at his disposal only radio and newspaper. Today's propagandists have powerful TV stations and even Internet which Goebbels didnt have
A new study published on the preprint server bioRxiv assesses the antiviral activity of stenoparib against four severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variants of concern (VOCs). This study also focuses on the inhibition of the SARS-CoV-2 Alpha variant by a combination of stenoparib and remdesivir.
The researchers of the current study also evaluated the inhibitory action of a combination of stenoparib and remdesivir against the Alpha variant. When combined, the drugs acted synergistically and plaque inhibition increased to over 90%
Since stenoparib inhibits a host protein, the antiviral activity of stenoparib should inhibit all variant strains. The current study explored the activity of stenoparib against four SARS-CoV-2 strains including the SARS-CoV-2 67 Germany/BavPat1/2020 wild-type strain (wt), as well as the Alpha, Beta, Gamma SARS-CoV-2 VOCs
lotsa people got the sniffles do they ??
Enough!
Hahahahaha! The terror. Covid. Unforgiving weather.
Global news new years resolution is to stop receiving money from the Canadian government. By taken money from the government you are not real news. You are agenda based reporting. People can already see that. You tell stories the way the government/big pharma wants them told. Talk about sell outs and propaganda.
I thought the government funded Russia/propaganda was bad. Global found to a way to be worse. 🤥
Breaking news from Pfizer's own clinical data:
1200+ of 40000 trial participants dead, 3% death rate
The people waiting in heaps of lines are extremely weak.
Scott Davison, head of the $100 billion insurance company that's been in operation since 1877 and has approximately 2,400 employees.
The increase represents "huge, huge numbers," among "primarily working-age people" who have employer-sponsored group life plans through OneAmerica, according to The Center Square.
"And what we saw just in third quarter, we’re seeing it continue into fourth quarter, is that death rates are up 40% over what they were pre-pandemic," Davison said during an online news conference last week. "Just to give you an idea of how bad that is, a three-sigma or a one-in-200-year catastrophe would be 10% increase over pre-pandemic."
"So 40% is just unheard of," he added.
According to Davison, the majority of deaths being filed are not classified as due to Covid-19.
People wake up! The vaccine is not working as it should be! Did you notice the media stopped reporting the break through cases with the fully vaccinated people? They started to hide the data to the public and still push the 3rd jab. They knew something is wrong but would not let people to discuss the side effects of vaccine itself.
I got positive for this supposed dangerous virus, only had a bit of a headache and sleepy with fever. I recovered in a single day! I-m not vaxed and Im fine!
Have we won? No.
What more do you wanna do?
FREEDOM🇨🇦
All you media corrupt political and Pharma shills know that this will never be forgotten . And eventually your payed bullies will figure out that they are not on the right side of history
Why is 90% of all Global's news about fear over CV-19. The CV-19 is waning and no more dangerous than the Common Cold now. Guess they have to keep up the Fear, Manipulation, and Political rhetoric. Global fails all journalism standards. Broadcast unmanufactured news and let the audience decipher it. One day Global will be in text books as an example of bad journalism.
PROPAGANDA!!!!
