I watched part of one of Dr Campbell's videos and then have had others show up in my YouTube feed. I haven't been able to watch more because he seems to support discredited treatments or approaches.

I'm not familiar with him. Sounds like the same issues with Dr. Oz. Nor covid specific, just in general. He's a medical doctor. Some of what he says is known to be supported by evidence. Then he throws in unsupported stuff with mostly the same tone so it al seems like good advice without double checking everything. I had to double back on a few things to be like wait, what was it that he just recommended?!

In among the expressions of what we know are buried so many unknowns ... and as consequence we are unconscious of them ... constructing an unconscious personality!

Yeh! I know it is complex in a domain searching out simple ...

I wasn't familiar with him either. I was initially interested then lost interest when he threw in something weird. I haven't been motivated to give him more time

I've had that happen with pretty much anything I watch on youtube :)

I think it's always important to keep context in mind for ANY and all info we look at & work to sort through what makes best sense - acknowledging most of us are not scientists. It's dicey isn't it? He's in Britain - is it possible that some recommendations may differ from what we hear in Canada? In many of his videos - he does post links below the video to the articles or websites he refers to.

Testing recommendations and some of the approved treatment options? Sure.

I'm pretty sure the public health guidance isn't in support of the non evidence based things.
 
Paxlovid was shipped today, I guess weather could factor in the delay? If so would be nice if that was clearly publicized.
There are enough doses for 3200 people in Alberta. It's not going to go far.
Health update later with bith doctors and Health Minister so I'm guessing criteria will be announced then.

Following the European news through German newspaper: no- Ivermectin doesn’t work on Brits either and European idiots have been poisoning themselves with it the same way, Canadian and US idiots did.

Imagine what this says about the fallacy of reason among human intelligence ... a flaw?
 
FFS Hospitals are at the max numbers currently and Kenney is minimizing the effects of people who are hospitalized for other issues with COVID. His tone is what would be expected as things are getting better when we are preparing hospital beds in areas that do not typically have them, ie. outpatient hospital building is one.
 
We have emergency situations in some hospitals, with patients in hallways, ambulances etc. with no beds left to put them. The last I heard there were about 40 patients overflowing the facilities. Staff are crumbling under the pressure - no doubt there will be fears of patients dying when they shouldn't. One of my grands wondered what would happen if there was another accident like the Bronco crash?

The lack of foresight of this, and preceding governments are hitting us badly. Many hospital beds are taken up with patients who should be in LTC but there is no space for them there. Far too few LTC beds for those requiring more complex care. Lack of Home Care type services too which could have eased the load a bit. Lack of new nurses getting trained. Lack of Day Care spaces that can accept the children of medical personnel (If shifts change at 8pm it isn't practical to have the Day Cares closing at 6pm..
 
Paxlovid - sounds like more information is needed to get good criteria. Ie. Who does it work best for. When I had looked into it the data was all from Pfizer, not a peer reviewed study, so they probably are going back and forth with them plus can hopefully get additional data soon.
 
A reporter called out the "competing narratives' from Kenney vs Dr. Yiu in the same update.
Glad someone is calling out his posturing.
 
Information is something that authorities despise as it get in the way of decision making that leans towards of benefiting the greater good but a select good ... the chosen because of extreme efficiencies and cutting corners until the margins fail! Some duck out ...

That's where we're at for those favouring the unconscious psyche .... Lazarus personified ... waking dead or psychosomatic? Counters the romantics ... going further back to class act or classic wisdom ... ancient logos at its best ... skill of manipulating a heap of word so as to allow those who wanted ... to be in a quandary ... a quantum jump? Type of oxymoron ... paradoxically sue'd ... SOD! Whet lands ...
 
Ontario has a reopening plan (again).

As in the past, it is all about easing capacity limits and closures. Vaccine passports and masking remain in force throughout and in some cases, enforcing vaccine passports allows a venue to increase its capacity. No word, though, on whether or when boosters will be required for compliance. The Ontario passport shows if you have the booster, but it confers no advantage over a two-dose passport at this point.
 
There is a problem within the powers regarding limits (mortal) and slowing of industrial suicide ... as all margins of safely are disposed ... like trimming health care to benefit administration ... even if they too are in the same boat as the populace ... directed to know nothing ... early on in the book of law ... as accepted as base BS! Unthinkable to do different as if different it would be strange ...

That strange love is enough to cause some images to regress in relief ... wood cuts? Odin! what will that bring down on our ears ... a crash?

Thus we return to enrich the land ... you didn't think this was all for naught/knot and other entanglement? Fey fabrications in the night!

This is true in so many places. For many years, at my large community hospital - usual capacity was over 100% on any given day. In the winter we would be in 'surge mode' due to flu causing increased admissions. Patient beds were added to the auditorium, to rehab 'gym' spaces (limited rehab available as a consequence), to meeting rooms, to storage spaces & hallway nooks. Miserable time for everyone. It's a good 'normal' state to be in by any stretch of the imagination - except for the bean counting gov types.
 
Our local hospital has transformed an area in the basement into an inpatient unit. Apparently they've got patients in the chapel and other rooms. This is an area where the public used to be able to use to get to Medical Daycare. This hospital is a regional hospital and is taking covid patients from up north. It has always been an extremely busy hospital. I've noticed a weariness there in the last while.
 
Here it's normal for aspects to be over capacity. Setting up out patient buildings as in patient is not normal. I do see some hallway medicine at times, but this seems excessively strained. Surgeries aren't at 100% either, plus there's a larger backlog than usual.

Very atypical. Usually paramedics get stuck waiting around for a while.

Because of the ambulance problems, NS has started an alternative transportation which doesn’t have full paramedics staffing for patients who are stable and need drives to LTC facilities or home. They don’t take anybody who is at risk or confused- or the hospital has to send along a nurse. They also offer free transportation to dialysis. Our newish provincial government now has a former nurse for a health minister. That sometimes seems to be beneficial.
