Even though Canada’s COVID-19 cases are exploding due to the Omicron variant, some provinces are now shortening the isolation periods for vaccinated Canadians infected by the virus. Ross Lord explains what’s behind the move, and where provinces may differ in their pandemic response.
The Omicron variant is also slamming Saskatchewan with record COVID-19 case counts, but the province still has no plans for tighter pandemic restrictions. Nathaniel Dove looks at how that province’s strategy is sparking concerns for the health system, after being strained by the Delta-driven fourth wave.
Though many New Year’s Eve festivities in the U.S. were scaled back or cancelled due to the rapid spread of the Omicron variant, millions of Americans still attended packed events throughout major cities. As Jennifer Johnson reports, doctors fear health systems may pay the price, as they brace for a post-holiday COVID surge.
Although 2021 marked a year when Canadians confronted the painful reality of the country’s treatment of Indigenous people, there was also a historic first as Mary Simon was appointed as governor general – the first Indigenous person to become the Queen’s representative in Canada. Mercedes Stephenson spoke with Simon regarding on what’s on her agenda.

Covid has completely wiped me out over Christmas 🤕
Hospitals should just sent people home if they have covid, when enough people can’t work and everything start shutting down, then people may learn to play by the rules.
WARNING.. if your loved one dies…
consider an autopsy.. to determine if the vaccine is at fault..
in the UK, they're finding that 50% of the colds this winter are actually Omicron covid.
Comments allowed here for now but not dislikes…most news dont allow comment anymore because people know this is not about health…its about power, brainwashing people and stealing/laundering money….like revenge for what Nazis did
Ti toum ti toum taaaaaaaa
Hopefully she isnt brought!
Had enough yet people…shove your record numbers right where the sun don't shine.
its not going away
this is the new world
“Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.” Jeremiah 17:5
King Asa trusted the physicians and not the LORD and he paid dearly.
Thumbs up if you believe that the government is involved in the COVID CONSPIRACY….
That’s called Cold
Is it because it's been guess work from the beginning and they finally have accepted that there's other they can do, but they won't admit it?

let's see when people starts to wake up and understand vaccination will only prolong the pandemic, and with the vaccine passport, it provides solid proof that vaccinated people are the potential spreaders spreading the virus all over the world and within countries since they are the only ones allowed to travel and enter any public premises. The horrible spanish flu ended in 2 years time just because there is no vaccination and everybody dealt with the pandemic in a natural way, isolation, locate and contain is the only method to end the pandemic. When there is no vaccination, everybody will be hiding themselves and isolation cuts all the transmission paths and the virus can be contained.
From the Ontario Health Website JAN/1, 2022.
9% – Adults in ICU due to COVID-19
63% – Adults in ICU due to non-COVID-19 reasons
28% – Adult ICU beds still available
IN HOSPITAL (NOT IN THE ICU)
236 = Unvaccinated cases
42 = Partially vaccinated cases
536 = Fully vaccinated cases
IN ICU
89 – Unvaccinated cases
7 – Partially vaccinated cases
47 – Fully vaccinated cases
ON A HIGH THAT NOKNE WANTED ? Is she on glue ?
THE VACCINATED ARE MAKING EVERYONE SICK!
You people see. Pattern? Quebec is late for shut down then Ontario then Saskatchewan then the west…. HERE IT COMES !!!!
I THOUGH IT DIDNT AFFECT PEOPLE ? Why ARE all the vaxxed in the hospital??
I was on the Las Vegas strip I did not get it thank god
Isn't it funny that every province have completely different ways of dealing with the SAME virus? It's like politicians do whatever they want to and have different excuses to do anything they want. And what's up with politicians getting COVID by the dozens? Seems like they don't follow those protocols they put in. I've dealt with about 5000 people this year alone because of my work and never got the damn virus so how's it possible that they always seem to catch it? weird
I Like Turtles 🐢
Oh no !!! The sniffles. Destroy the economy quick !
Pharmaganda
7 day average daily deaths Germany :253 New York : 97 California : 53 Canada : 29 Florida : 2 Sweden : 1 The last 2 have never implemented lockdowns or mask mandates.
lol, there is shortage of medical staff so they reduce isolation period so medical staff can go back to work.
If you don’t feel well. Stay home! Simple. Wash your hands. Just go to the hospital when you can’t breathe etc..
Trudeau has to go
“”The variants are created by antibody dependent enhancement due to the vaccination.” ~ Dr. Luc Montagnier
