“We’ve done the science, we know this works really well – it’s been tested over and over. Right now it’s whether the public-health units are going to take it up and show it and use it,” Dr. Dellatolla said. “Is there going to be a federally funded initiative to stabilize this foundation we’ve established across the country? If not, it’s going to erode.”
Sarah Dorner, a professor of source-water protection in the engineering faculty of Montreal’s École Polytechnique, said her team’s funding to monitor five regions, including Montreal, Quebec City and Laval, was only supposed to last six months, but she was able to “squeeze out some extra samples” past that original end date to continue testing into mid-December.
New online tool lets Metro Vancouver residents track viral load of COVID-19 found in untreated waste water Natalie Prystajecky, head of environmental microbiology at the BC Centre for Disease Control’s public-health lab, said she is keen to expand the work of the small team she oversees so that it covers people across the rest of province. But to do that, she would need to double her team.
Dr. Hubert, a biological science professor at the University of Calgary, said people “shouldn’t stare, they should squint” when taking in the trend lines plotted on the group’s graphs. This surveillance has also been used in a more targeted way to monitor outbreaks in smaller populations, such as university dorms and homeless shelters, he said.

Quebec COVID-19 hospitalizations drop for third straight day, 68 new deathsQuebec reported a third straight day of decreases in COVID-19 hospitalizations with 56 fewer patients from 24 hours ago. The province added 68 new deaths due to the novel coronavirus. 'Linked to Covid.' A link that is probably far less relevant than the $595-million package our government has spoon fed to our media for this kind of dishonest coverage. How many Canadians died because of opioid overdoses in 2021 ?

Why Omicron shows it's time to update our COVID-19 vaccines | CBC NewsThe vaccines currently used were made to target the original strain of the virus, which is dramatically different from the highly transmissible Omicron variant that has become dominant globally in the weeks since it was identified. And which most people have already been infected with and therefore produced their own naturally acquired immunity, hence do not need any additional injection. The end. The mRNA design was too targeted. That was obvious months ago. If the pharmaceutical companies are worth their salt, they're on it, and we'll have a new string of vaccines in year to come. Sigh. Don't worry!! Pfizer is releasing their omicron vaccine hopefully in March. Just in time for the variant to be long gone, but hey lets just take it anyways 👍
