Dr. Proton Rahman says the province could see 20-30 people in hospital.

Posted: Jan 12, 2022 12:45 PM NT | Last Updated: 5 hours ago

"Next week is going to be key, because there are a lot of active patients, some of which may come into hospital, so we're really interested in seeing the projection forward," he said. By region, there are 517 new cases in the Eastern Health region, 85 in the Labrador-Grenfell region, 64 in the Western Health region, 44 in the Central Health region and 21 found outside of a regional testing clinic.

"The numbers will be closer, but there's still limitations in terms of predictions. It's better to overestimate … than underestimate and get cut short, but hopefully we don't see as many cases as we predict," he said. Appointments can be booked now, Fitzgerald said, as long as the vaccination is done at least 22 weeks after a person's third dose — the same time period between a second dose and a booster shot.

Here's your Newfoundland brother back in the news. NY Times Dr. Bruce Aylward, a senior W.H.O. adviser, said wealthy nations had been slow and stingy in sharing vaccines and other vital supplies with the rest of the world. “What we did share was a lot of misinformation,” he said.

Doesn't help that Pfizers vaccinations are about as good as useless does it 'Pfizer CEO says two Covid vaccine doses aren’t ‘enough for omicron’

Covid-19 shots do not prevent infection or transmission and natural immunity is effective. Recent research from Israel where the Pfizer vaccine was exclusively used, demonstrated that natural immunity is 7 x more effective at preventing cases and infections

so a small plane crash with injuries is totally out of the question then? Great health care system you got there.

I’d actually prefer to hear from Electron

Ivermectin fixes this.
