Canada's vaccine targets based on models before troublesome Delta variant well known

Federal modelling done in April and May suggested that if 75 per cent of eligible Canadians -- those 12 years old and above -- had at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, and 20 per cent had two, provinces could safely begin easing restrictions on public movement without overwhelming hospitals again.

Delta was first identified in India last fall, but was only designated a variant of concern by the World Health Organization in mid-May. Canada is set to reach part of the first target -- 75 per cent of eligible people having their first dose -- sometime in the next 24 hours, and 20 per cent with both doses likely by Sunday.

Quebec, which reported fewer than 200 cases for the ninth day in a row Tuesday, is now allowing small, indoor private gatherings everywhere, and allowing bars to open indoors at half capacity. Alberta, which is one of two provinces where at least 20 per cent of eligible people are fully vaccinated, opened indoor venues like movie theatres and libraries last week. It is the only province not yet above 70 per cent with first doses, but is almost there.

She said cautious, staged reopenings, which leave lots of room to monitor an increase in case counts and detect surges of variants like Delta, will be critical.

Yeah yeah yeah more justification for emergency power extensions right? Thats where all this is leading no?

Yet they refuse to go with 28 day gaps between first and second doses!?

Delta variant symptoms are headaches, sore throat and runny nose. Sound familiar? That sounds like big trouble ahead. Oh my, the Delta variant is a cold. Get that experimental vaccine before it’s too late. Deal with the adverse consequences after.

Mandatory vaccination, cannot leave your house unless get a vaccine

Stop the propaganda please

You keep talking and her people are being turned away. Where are all our doses We seem to be racing a clock but patience is wearing thin

resumedirectflights Please extend the ban on direct flights from India and prohibit indirect ways too International students from there just want to take advantage of Canada and spread their variant.

And how did delta get here? 🤔

Red Cross called in to help amid Delta variant outbreak at Nunavut mineThe Canadian Red Cross has been called in to help with contact tracing at the Mary River mine in Nunavut, which may have played an early role in spreading the highly transmissible Delta coronavirus variant around the country. Some serious stat juking Nunavut. The mine in Nunavut, where 120+ workers contracted COVID, and the territory doesn't count any of those numbers as theirs. That's criminal. How did it get up there so quickly? Canada overpaid for the Astra shot, I get why, but being so willing to over pay would suggest at least to me that they would be willing to alter targets outside the S1 gene not stopping there but helping fund the trials in people.
