Canada - Coronavirus COVID-19 #3

Organizer of fully vaccinated Ontario hockey league where COVID-19 outbreak hit looks for answers

That's something to think about!

Fully vaccinated adults doing sports together spread the virus amongst themselves and one died. I wonder what the "break through" death rate is in such a small sample group.

An entire sports team being infected with a mortality is called a "breakthrough" case?

"The organizer of an adult hockey league in Newmarket, Ont. is looking for answers after one of his players died and 14 others who were all fully vaccinated became infected with COVID-19 in a matter of days.

"Why couldn't we avoid this scenario," said Craig Adlam, who runs the Midas 3-on-3 League.

York Region Public Health has linked 15 confirmed cases to games played on Sept. 27, Sept. 30 and Oct. 4 at the National Training Rinks.
...

Weston died after suffering a severe stroke while fighting pneumonia caused by COVID-19, his family says.
...

Players were required to provide proof of vaccination and health officials confirmed all were breakthrough infections in fully vaccinated players.
...

"I would expect transmission between two teams, not among a whole league." Health officials are stressing that the COVID-19 vaccine is highly effective, but that breakthrough infections are possible."

I would like to hear more about this. I am wondering.. what happens with those people who are playing hockey on a league but have a 'medical exemption'? If people are asked to provide proof of double vaccination before entering an arena, what do they do with those people who hold a 'medical exemption'? Are they allowed to enter and/or play, regardless? Does an exemption allow them all the freedoms that the proof of vaccination offers to those who are double-vaxed? This article I'm linking below states that 30% of their league got Covid. Also, it seems the numbers may actually be much higher since it's saying some of the spouses also got it, and in other cases entire families became ill.?????

In some cases, players tested negative and later positive. Some spouses also caught the Virus; in other cases, entire families became ill, he said.
...
"People are getting a false impression, 'I'm double-vaxxed ... nothing can happen to me' and, as we can see, in our league 30 per cent got infected ... And, unfortunately, Garry took the brunt of it."
...
All spectators or players must sign self-assessment waivers and show proof of vaccination before entering the building.

Kamloops clinic set up by unvaccinated nurses evicted

^^^^Above link is not working for me.

please post source, I’m interested in reading it. Thanks.

ETA: seems they were evicted due to it being a sublet situation and the landlord has said NO. They are looking for another place to offer free care.

Illegal sub-lease is a good reason for eviction.

Deugirtni, many of your questions are answered by visiting the NTR website.

The vaccines do not offer us protection from COVID but from the more severe form of the illness/death. Supposedly.

sadly, there are some breakthrough cases where the person dies.

yesterday it was reported that a 51 yr old man, double vaxxed was found dead on an airplane. Seems he died of COVID.

I’m still living like a hermit.

Going to the dentist later this week for the first time in two years.

I'm still living like a hermit too for the most part. The only people I've been close to are family members who are vaccinated.

The pandemic certainly has led to lots of job relocations for various reasons, better pay, stay at home options, safety, mandates or lack thereof, etc. So, yeah, when qualified workers from one stream can fill vacancies in another for better pay, then there may be significant movement. But I'm confident that vacancies in home care will get sorted out.
