Allow me to do a little trolling now, if you will....
Jason Tetro, a microbiologist and author, told CBC Radio's Saskatchewan Weekend that Canada was behind countries like Israel, the United Kingdom and the United States who are front runners in vaccine distribution.
He said Canada was about 60th in terms of the percentage of Canadian's who've received their first dose of COVID-19 vaccine. In terms of full vaccinations, he added, Canada sits at 50th worldwide.

Re: Latest on the Corona Virus
It is amusing that while many Republican lawmakers oppose any form of a vaccine passport endorsed by the Biden Administration or private industry to gain admittance to various venues or facilities, they demand nine forms of identification before a person can vote.Comment

Re: Latest on the Corona Virus
Vaccine passports are not really yet widely available in the marketplace nor is the technology settled. There have been a few tests mostly at music venues with large audiences.
The ethics of usage are still being debated. The USA is a very litigious country where people are quick to sue for perceived damages.
The individual store or business (like a movie theatre, amusement park, cruise ship, nightclub or bar) will make that decision.
One thing is for sure. It will be difficult to travel internationally without one.
I would not expect large scale enforcement to begin before 2022.Comment

Covid was the third leading cause of death among Americans in 2020, behind heart disease and cancer, CDC says
- There were more than 3.3 million deaths reported in the U.S. last year, a 16% increase over 2019.
- The deadliest weeks last year were at the beginning of the pandemic in April and then in the middle of the holiday surge in late December.
- Covid-19 killed more Americans than unintentional injuries, strokes, chronic lower respiratory disease, Alzheimer disease, diabetes, influenza and pneumonia and kidney disease.
The coronavirus was the third leading cause of death in the U.S. in 2020, behind heart disease and cancer, according to a new study from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
There were more than 3.3 million deaths reported in the U.S. last year, a 16% increase over 2019, according to early data compiled by the National Vital Statistics System, which examines and reports annual mortality statistics using death certificates. The deadliest weeks last year were at the beginning of the pandemic and then in the middle of the holiday surge during the weeks ending April 11 with 78,917 fatalities and Dec. 26 when 80,656 people died, the CDC found.
According to the study released Wednesday, Covid-19 was listed as the underlying cause for 345,323 deaths, killing more Americans than unintentional injuries, strokes, chronic lower respiratory disease, Alzheimer disease, diabetes, influenza and pneumonia and kidney disease.
Covid-19 replaced suicide among the top 10 leading cause of death in the U.S., the study found. Overall, the annual death rate increased by nearly 16% in 2020 compared with a year earlier, the first time it’s grown since 2017, the CDC said.
The highest annual death rates were reported among men, people ages 85 and older, and people who are non-Hispanic Black and American Indian and Alaskan Native, the CDC said.
However, when looking at Covid-19 alone, Hispanic and American Indian and Alaskan Native people, as well as those ages 85 and older, died from the disease at higher rates compared with every other group. Men died from Covid-19 at a higher rate than women.Comment
