Territory sees 13 new active COVID cases confirmed
There were 13 new active COVID-19 cases officially confirmed in Yukon communities from last Friday through yesterday.
There were 13 new active COVID-19 cases officially confirmed in Yukon communities from last Friday through yesterday.
The total number of Yukon citizens who have been officially confirmed with COVID-19 since the start of the pandemic stood at 4,983 as of Tuesday.
Active community cases during those dates were confirmed in Carmacks, Dawson City, Old Crow, Watson Lake and Whitehorse.
As of yesterday, Whitehorse had dropped two, and had nine confirmed active cases.
Watson Lake still had two while Dawson still had one and Carmacks and Old Crow dropped to zero active cases.
The seven-day test positivity rate went from 14.4 per cent last Friday to 20.9 per cent on Monday and 28 per cent on Tuesday.
There were no new hospitalizations reported since last Friday.
A review of the hospitalization chart timeline shows that case #171 was on Oct. 29, case #172 was on Oct. 30 and case #173 was recorded on Nov. 1.
All hospitals had reported space was available from last Friday until Tuesday morning when Whitehorse General Hospital reported that space was extremely limited or full.
The hospital’s intensive care unit and the Watson Lake and Dawson City hospitals were reporting space available.
The Yukon government’s vaccination dashboard also reported that six people received their first COVID vaccine last week, six showed up for their second shot and 40 were administered their third shot.
The government’s web page still shows that 51 per cent of the total eligible population is still not up to date on their vaccines.
The federal government noted on its flu watch site last Saturday that confirmed influenza cases are rising across the country and increasing steeply at the national level and have crossed the seasonal threshold of five per cent positivity.
It also noted that the start of an influenza epidemic will be declared if the per cent positivity remains above this threshold this week.

You'll really talk about anything to distract from you getting exposed as a liar LOL
Don't blame crypto for your behaviour. Don't blame the teachers pension that has $250 billion - them losing 100 million is like you losing a dollar.
Ivermectin has never been shown to help in covid. Just like hydroxychloroquine never worked.
Neither has been approved for use in covid - but you can keep trying to pretend it has. I'll keep pointing out how you spread misinformation to get that brief but fleeting feeling you're an insider who knows the truth. Keep chasing that high to distract from what must otherwise be an unremarkable existence.
You're wrong about ivermectin and deep down you know it. It says something that you can't admit it here. Sad.

Thank you for your extremely old links. Your persistence on topics no one brought up is impressive. Who would have thought you would bring up the same thing ad nauseam . I got into reading all sorts of studies. Strange what you find. For-instance this trial discrediting Ivermectin that is very highly referenced:
https://www.togethertrial.com/
Please pay close attention to who funded it. FTX. You may have seen them in news lately for one of the largest frauds in history. Ontario teachers pensions lost 95 million to it. Weird, it's almost as if studies funded by money launderers are bias, and might even be used to push an agenda.
I look forward to 5 minutes from now when you talk about Ivermectin being an approved treatment on the FDA and NIH site.

Influenza [incl C0vid] is a vitamin D deficiency disease.
https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&q=Influenza+vitamin+D&btnG=
Many of these studies were banned from posting on social media starting in 2020
Imagine if the govt had dispensed free vitamin D back in 2019 when this was first detected. But hey, where's the BigPharma landslide profits and political kickbacks in that? Instead govts printed money and funneled it to the pharmaceutical megacorps and raised taxes and created inflation to pay for it. It was never about public health and all about money, power and control.

@ Jeff B
Wow that's a lot of words to distract from. You're trying to pivot to vaccines and other topics to distract from how you doubled and tripled down on Ivermectin being approved by the CDC or the FDA for Covid - when it never has been. Now you want to try the NIH. Keep going man - it's entertaining to watch you struggle.
NIH:
"The Panel recommends against the use of ivermectin for the treatment of COVID-19, except in clinical trials "
https://www.covid19treatmentguidelines.nih.gov/therapies/antiviral-therapy/ivermectin/
FDA:
"The FDA has not authorized or approved ivermectin for use in preventing or treating COVID-19 in humans or animals. Ivermectin is approved for human use to treat infections caused by some parasitic worms and head lice and skin conditions like rosacea. Currently available data do not show ivermectin is effective against COVID-19."
https://www.fda.gov/consumers/consumer-updates/why-you-should-not-use-ivermectin-treat-or-prevent-covid-19
CDC:
"Be aware that ivermectin is not currently authorized or approved by FDA for treatment of COVID-19"

Just like all seasonal respiratory viruses (e.g. flu), virtually 100% of the population will be infected with SARS-COV-2 at some point in life -- vaxxed or not.

"Ivermectin quietly approved by the CDC or FDA”
Roy, my friend, the originality of your comments never fail to amaze. I wait with baited breath for the enlightened wisdom your bring with each of your poised examinations of current events. Never biased or political. I commend you.
I do however find your obsession with Ivermectin a little strange. Since you brought it up, you may like to know it has been added to the NIH site as a treatment. NIH and FDA. I read about both through articles on the CDC site.
Ivermectin has been used for over 40 years. It is an antiviral, anti-flammatory, and and antiparasitic. It had great success treating covid all over Africa, India, and Japan just to name a few. It can be bought for pennies a dose as apposed to thousands per dose of the latest emergency approved experimental treatments with negative efficacy.
But maybe you prefer to spend billions on magic beans, then throw them in the garbage because they do not work.

If the "vaccines" are so awesome why did the federal government order hundreds of millions for a population of less than 40 million people?

Crazy how I'm unvaccinated and yet I'm totally fine and haven't been sick in years. Vaxxies got played. The vaccines are useless and contain heavy metals. Please vaxxies, keep getting boosted, and please keep making it mandatory for the government workers who push it.

83 percent of Canadians are not taking the latest "booster". Which is not a booster, it is a new "vaccine".
https://health-infobase.canada.ca/covid-19/vaccination-coverage/
This 83 percent of people are likely done with masks as well. Forever. This doesn't stop Theresa Tam from bombarding us with her narrative. Of course with the help of her husband Bill Tam, who is on the board of directors for CBC. While culprits in other countries are asking for amnesty, Canada just keeps going with the propaganda.
It is refreshing to see common sense and decency coming back to people though. Better late than never.

"It also noted that the start of an influenza epidemic will be declared if the per cent positivity remains above this threshold this week"
Monkeypox didn't catch on, lets give "influenza epidemic" a go. Maybe we can get some mandates out of this, like the ones Trudeau threatens us with every time he opens his mouth.
How are they distinguishing between covid and the flu? Their symptoms are near identical. Almost like they are one and the same.
Apparently the weekly percentage of positive tests for flu is 6.4 per cent. 6.4 percent of who? Is their mass testing? What test? People have been getting the flu for thousands of years, but now it is all of a sudden newsworthy.
Is the flu virus the issue, or is it that people can't handle getting the flu anymore? Is this foreshadowing for the next "emergency", or a promotion for the flu vaccines?
"The government’s web page still shows that 51 per cent of the total eligible population is still not up to date on their vaccines".
Imagine all those people driving around honking if the government tries starting their nonsense again.

How many and which politicians lied last month?
Why is the alphabet gang so militant?
Why is race in our legal system...opps justice system?
Why are children getting encouraged to cut off their junk by alleged adults and “educators”?
Why not as a society, a community, we start asking different questions?

If the government is going to give us Covid figures, how about telling us how many vaxed got the virus vs how many unvaxed. That should tell us who is spreading it, as well as how effective the vaccine is. The Liberals preach transparency, but practice the opposite.

Please STOP ! Are you purposely trying to scare the population again! It's flu season. Stop with the Covid scare tactics. I have been with the flu for the last 5 days, and now I'm recovering and feeling well again! I got the covid vaccines 2 years ago, (without thinking it through) and I have been sick more times in the last 2 years than I have ever been before ???

I'm sure way more people have or have had COVID and just don't report it, stay home so as not to get others sick and go back to their lives once they are no longer symptomatic. No need to get everyone up in a frenzy of fear anymore. As for the flu, more people have died of the flu than have ever died of COVID and yet we don't freak out about flu season. You can also quit pushing shots on everyone. Those that want them will get them and those that don't won't, as it should be in this country if everyone really believes in my body my choice (as they should).
