- they lifted the majority of precautions here. that is why we got hammered. Higgs is paying the price in popularity too -- nm - Beaker Mar 9, 05:46 7
  - Every country that's gotten Omicron, no matter how strict the precautions, has seen cases spike dramatically. -- (edited) - Inigo Mar 9, 05:53 5
    - Western Australia had no covid until about 6 weeks ago. Now 3,500 new/day, 16k active, but 99% of adults vaccinated so only 67 in hospital, 0 ICU. -- nm - mafic Mar 9, 06:10 1
      - Yup, and to be clear, vaccination is the key. - Inigo Mar 9, 06:18
    - thankfully, the hospital cases haven't followed suit. we always laugh when they give stats (rueful laughing) - Beaker Mar 9, 05:56 2
      - ICU cases went down because of vaccination and also omicron was less severe. -- nm - loosilu Mar 9, 06:03 1
        
        he is talking about the day to day decrease. Yesterday 13 people in ICU, 3 deaths. Today 10 people in ICU... -- nm - Andie Mar 9, 06:25
  - and the Conservative Premiers in Ontario, Saskatchewan and Alberta are in a contest to see who can get the most people killed via COVID -- nm - Beaker Mar 9, 05:47
