Should I ask about oil or what’s the best bike to start on ? Pretty much there are no conversations regarding motorcycles of any relevance to reply to as you can see

What is your rationale for repeating headlines that have no basis in reality? We have the same / similar case count and hospital capacity we did about a year ago when there were no vaccines. So vaccination has nothing to do with it . The people are scared , the media loves encouraging that and the leaders love the control. I will repeat , since this started less then 3 percent of all Canadians have got the virus .
There is no need to be scared and this should be over as of now any way. We will have to live with this virus and the endless booster shots just like flu and every other virus out there. It’s not going away it will never go away. Get over it

Patients died from neglect, not COVID-19, in Ontario LTC homes, military report finds: ‘All they needed was water and a wipe down’
Military report finds many residents of two Ontario nursing homes died of malnutrition and dehydration

Case count same time last year below 200….
Ontario reports fewer than 200 COVID-19 cases for third straight day
Ontario has recorded fewer than 200 new cases of COVID-19 for another two days.

You're own statement needs context.
Well, making a statement like that requires at least cursory evidence to back up the use of "huge". So number of annual residents by life expectancy leads to 57,500 annual deaths in LTC homes in the province.
The 3,790 COVID deaths of LTC homes over 15 months is 5% of the annual expected deaths. Not huge, any way you slice it.
Dehydration and lack of care seem to be killing more residents then COVID. Don't have to take my word for it, that's what the Canadian Forces determined.

It's criminal how our old and vulnerable are treated in LTC homes. Let's not let them pass the buck on deaths to a disease that pales to how they effectively kill people through lack of basic services.
Did a whole bunch of LTC workers quit when the pandemic started? Were the staff over-stretched? Were the armed forces called in late? Were there massive complications & issues to "fixing" the system? Will we ever fix it?You're own statement needs context.

Nursing Home Workers Had One of the Deadliest Jobs of 2020
Whe
Where did you get average life expectancy in ltc of two years? That is very far off my experience. From my experience, the vast majority are in for more than five years and and quite a few for a decade or more (and for a very unlucky very small minority 40 years or more).You're own statement needs context.

18 Months in Ontario, but the number varies on studies from both sides of the border from about 1 year to 2.5 years. I split the difference.
Palliative care has been lacking for decades in long-term care
Our overhaul of nursing homes needs to integrate a proper model for palliative care, which, shockingly, very few residents ever receive.

Somewhat morbid but a team of researchers did a fairly comprehensive study on LTC home deaths in Ontario and developed a fairly accurate calculator.

Ah so now case counts and hospitals don’t matter…just the variants…just like flu variants I guess? If case counts and hospitalization are the same as a year ago then yes we are dealing with the same situation …but feelings over facts I guess

the numbers matter unless you are a hysterical person who goes by feelings not facts…. And a death at 95 is not just as sad as a 40 year old dying that is nonsense
Canada overall has been very cautious, US not so much. I was curious about the efficacy of our different approaches in limiting spread and resulting in death.
Looking at numbers from July 1, 2020 through today to exclude the first wave, data pulled from ourworldindata.org
- Cases/1m people
Canada - 35143.16
USA - 95430.69
- Deaths/1m people
Canada - 468.81
USA - 1455.73
So to round it out, 3x more cases and deaths.

National average.
Good, except for the first line, where you provided your answer before you provided the data. There are so many differences between the U.S. and Canada, that you can't simply pin things down to us being "very cautious". In many cases we haven't.
The numbers supposedly matter, so many cases, so many hospitalizations, so many deaths and that's why we all need to protect ourselves, lockdown and take a vaccine. That's what every level of government has been saying.
But far too often there is no context attached, numbers without context are meaningless. But context prevents mass hysteria and it doesn't fit the narrative of this pandemic panic.
