@EricLawton the only number that matters is their soaring quarterly profits. Whatever they say, they can't duck the fact that this is because of price-gouging which they try to excuse under the cover of "it's all inflation/Ukraine/Trudeau etc".

And @battlingbeaver tells me I should have introduced myself before I just jump in and start posting.

Sorry! I'm Tara. I'm an infectious diseases researcher and Associate Prof at the University of Toronto, and I'm the lead of COVID-19 Resources Canada.

We do the Canadian COVID Forecast, Canadian COVID data reporting, the Canadian Excess Mortality Tracker, and of course, COVID Conversation Zoom sessions supported by me and other volunteer scientists.

It's great to be here at last!

People who are vaccinated and not taking measures to reduce their contact rate can expect to spend an average of 6 days a year acutely sick with COVID-19 and be infected 1.4x annually. That's a #COVID19 infection every 8.5 months on average. Now is a good time to remind the "just the flu" folks that the average American gets the flu once every 10 years or so.
