We're on the precipice of very serious Measles outbreaks in Canada, now that vaccination rates have stupidly dropped. Improved ventilation in schools ---that we SHOULD HAVE IMPLEMENTED in 2020-- would really help to prevent that now.

For those wondering why our COVID Forecast score is so high for months on end. It predicts % excess mortality, based on excess mortality estimates from Statistics Canada. If you doubt Statistics Canada excess mortality estimates, here are the estimates for Canada, the UK and United

This is going to be a messy complicated thread... ...but there are several massive hurdles in the paths of most people that prevent them accepting that Covid infections are responsible for the rising flood of ill health including things like heart attacks and mental illness.
