Majority of Canadians have now caught COVID — so what does that mean for the future?


The majority of Canadians have caught COVID-19 since Omicron and its highly contagious subvariants triggered enormous waves of infection this year — with new estimates suggesting almost two-thirds of the population have had it.
Researchers in British Columbia analyzed close to 14,000 blood samples in the Lower Mainland throughout the pandemic to track antibody levels in the general population, and found a massive shift in the number of infections in the past few months.
The B.C. Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (BCCDC) and University of British Columbia team previously found almost half previously had COVID as of April, but their new data suggests that number continued to skyrocket into the spring and summer.

So much for masks being effective. Case closed.

Masks work, case closed!!

The main benefit of the masks and other measures is so that the health services don't get overwhelmed by too many patients at once. There are only so many beds and respiratory apparatus to help people who have it worse.

I like copier addict. He seems like a good dude. He even seems smart. That's why it's so confusing when over 75% of Canadians have contracted 'rona and he says the mask mandate was a success. I'd hate to see what failure looks like.

I don't think there's any legit data that supports that.

If you had actually read the "cut and paste" article you had posted you would have seen the key phrase "in the past few months" and then realised that there has not been mask mandates for much longer than that. Except in the aforementioned medical locations. I'm guessing you wouldn't have even posted that article if you had seen that.

You read it wrong. It did NOT say that 75% causght it in the past few months. You're grasping at straws.

Jeepers Billy. It's right there in the text posted above. Shall I refresh everyone's memory?

"and found a massive shift in the number of infections in the past few months".

You're welcome. It really does pay to read what you post first.

Will you admit it now? I'm guessing not.
