Given that we can be almost certain that we are being lied to about the number of cases, contributing conditions, and, in the case of deaths, the actual cause of death the response is a little less justifiable. Can we be assured that a drug overdose in which the deceased is positive for Covid is not counted in the Covid column? I don't think so. It has happened. ICU's are far from filling up. We have a LML politicians saddling interior residents with nonsensical restrictions to no purpose and, as usual, they continue to lie. Out of a population of five million, less than 200,000 have been confirmed to have contracted covid IN TOTAL. Since most of these are in the LML, it is relatively easy to avoid covid by simply avoiding that region and staying away from people from that region. The truth is, the number of active cases is relatively small. This doesn't mean it is smart to gather in large crowds or hang out in bars but it used to be that we were free to make those choices. We are still free to choose to be alcoholics, drug users, or morbidly obese, all of which burden the health care system as much as Covid does, if the truth is told. GD
