Really?

 Apparently, no one has died from the regular flu yet.  How can this be?!  Every year, thousands succumb -- and also thanks to garden-variety pneumonia -- but only covid is killing everyone these days.

Something is afoot here.  Is it easier for doctors to just tick the "covid" box on the death certificate?  I wonder?

There are a lot of jumbled-up facts surrounding this pandemic.  Yesterday we learned that Alberta's stats are wrong.  Apparently, the "brilliant" Deena Hinshaw confused the number of people tested with the number who tested positive.  Whoa!  That's a biggie because it was thanks to doctor-drone-a-thon that Kenney shut down the entire province.  Numbers matter, people.

And speaking of drone-a-thons, Hinshaw's daily recitation of numbers apparently turned off many people.  What did the numbers mean?  Today 28 people tested positive; yesterday it was 29; 400,000 tested negative; one died.  What the Hell?!  What does it all mean?  People just tuned out while Kenney hid under his bed.  After SARS, et al, many reports and recommendations were written.  Sadly, all governments threw them out the window and shoved a bunch of hapless doctors in front of the cameras to "inform" the befuddled public.  

That worked well.  We're still befuddled.

The other thing to note is that covid turns into pneumonia and it's the latter that kills.  Get both pneumonia shots.  Please.
