The entire political establishment is in agreement on the need to enforce the pro-corporate policy of “forever COVID,” in which the working class and broad layers of society as a whole are condemned to unending waves of mass infection, death and debilitation with Long COVID.

    By all means, I’d love to see your data.

    Not sure why you’d bring anecdotes into this?

      Because the government intentionally stopped counting Covid cases, and asked hospitals to stop reporting data. Outside of waste treatment data, anecdotal data is sometimes the best we can get.

        I literally work in healthcare. I’ve seen our patient data. There’s no COVID increase. If there is, it’s super mild and people aren’t being hospitalized.

        Now we have one anecdote against another… uh oh?

            While R**t tells us if the number of infections is likely growing or declining, it does not reflect the burden of disease

            Please try to understand statistics before you cite them.

            If we had 1 case yesterday and 3 today, we are certainly trending up, yes. I 100% agree that COVID cases are increasing because they ALWAYS will in the winter. Forever.

            Edit: also, for the hundredth time, none of this says the cases are severe. You have shown zero evidence about severity.
