COVID numbers remain stable
Monday afternoon’s COVID-19 number from the Yukon government show cases are holding relatively steadily.
Monday afternoon’s COVID-19 number from the Yukon government show cases are holding relatively steadily.
The COVID dashboard indicates 90 active cases, with 38 new cases over the past weekend.
Those numbers are somewhat unreliable, though, as they are based on PCR testing, which has been restricted since January.
It does not include rapid tests, which can be taken anywhere, as there is no provision for reporting those results to health authorities.
The testing postivity rate is 38.9 per cent, which remains high.

Thank you staff vacancies for clarifying that a fully vaccinated & masked hospital staff is having a massive breakout & can't work. This demonstrates, without a doubt, that masks & vaccines don't work. Let's just drop the scamdemic charade now.

WGH is currently experiencing an increase in unplanned staff vacancies due to illness. This is consistent with the increase in COVID activity that we are currently seeing in the community.
As a result, over the coming days you may experience a delay in receiving outpatient services (example: non urgent xrays or bloodwork).
Please note our teams are doing their absolute best, under difficult conditions. We are taking every precaution we can to preserve our workforce, thereby ensuring we are able to provide hospital services to Yukoners.

In Canada there is still no end date for federal mandates. The unvaccinated cannot travel by plane or train, even domestically. The land border to the US is also closed to the unvaccinated, at the request of Trudeau. The only way to leave is by private plane that specifically does not use the commercial section of the airport. It's a gross violation of civil rights that clearly do not exist in Canada.
Shills pretend like this isn't the truth. They don't even talk about it in the media. No one is even asking when the mandates are going to end.

Ladies and gentlemen, may I present to you, the ONLY STABLE THING IN CANADA RIGHT NOW. Anyone else think that is a problem worth going to civil war for? I'm starting to. Tired of everyone whining about human rights when the crises we face are the very threat to the Human rights we express cognitive dissonance towards. But hey, maybe we use Crocuses for the awareness day the city council will come up with next week...the world needs to be purged of idiots and nature will provide.

I don't read gov release crap anymore. If covid has done nothing else, it has caused people, (most of us..half us? quarter?) to stop following government blindly, to stop trusting and start questioning.
Lots of folks, who before, couldn't care less, are now bothered by empty shelves, the trillion dollar debt, the price of gas and food, questioning..why.. other countries are not losing..why is Canada? Why have our taxes gone up 30% why are "A Statistics Canada study has found that 72% of government-sponsored refugees still rely on welfare programs two years after arrival, and 35% are still on welfare after 10 years".. how many on 'relocation' welfare? What are we paying for? Covid did that i hope.. caused people to think outside the box...the government IS the box.

Only 10% of Yukoners so far got the virus. That leaves 90% that at least most if not all will eventually get it over the years. So, let's all not worry about it and get it. Most have been vaxxed and probably will continue to get the boosters over the years. If the companies that make the vaccines are true to their word, only a small minority that will have any adverse effects, the rest will be fine. Let's keep them properly treated and leave the rest of us alone. Like Rod say's "Honestly who cares anymore". The citizens have had enough of this government scare mongering. And if you Liberals think this is going to get you elected again, dream on, because everyone I talked so far has had enough of y'all.
