During the 2019 flu season in Canada, 46k people were diagnosed with influenza. That’s not people who “felt sick”, that’s people who went to their doctor or emergency, had a test done, and were told “yup, that’s the flu”.
Of those 46k, 2000 had symptoms severe enough to be hospitalized so they could be monitored.
Of those 2000, 600 ended up in ICU, connected to machines to breath for them.
Of those 600, 200 died.
2019 had a fairly average flu season.
During the 2020 flu season, that was 69. Total. Zero hospitalization. Zero ICU. Zero deaths.
The 2021 flu season is almost over and since people were “more comfortable” this year not wearing masks where they should have been the numbers are higher, but still only in the hundreds of cases, with zero deaths to date.
If anyone tries to tell you masks don’t work, there are statistically at least 400 people who did not die of the flu who prove otherwise.
WE PROBABLY ELIMINATED TWO STRAINS OF INFLUENZA IN HUMANS. WE CUT TRANSMISSION SO MUCH THE STRAIN DIED OUT BECAUSE IT COULDN’T SPREAD TO PEOPLE.
Andrew Robinson on playing Garak for the first time.
[Image Description: Twelve gifs of Andrew Robinson giving an interview. Interspersed are gifs from the scene in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine where Julian Bashir and Elim Garak meet. Robinson says, “Whn I walked on set to do the very first scene with Sid, I saw Sid. And he was one of the most beautifully young men I have ever seen in my life.” The next gif is Garak sitting down across from Bashir at a tanpbel, and Bashir smiling at him. Robinson continues, “And I thought, ‘wait a second. Wait a second…I wanna *fuck* this guy.’” Garak stand ps up, grinning at Bashir. Robinson: “‘ his is what this is about.’ Forget about the shy shit, I have no idea what that means. That’s no action. I can’t play that. But if I wanna fuck somebody, I know how to play that. And god, Sid, god bless him, the moment I put my hand in his shoulder…” Garak puts his hands on Bashir’s shoulders. Bashir is wide-eyed. Robinson: “He felt it, and he picked it right up.” Bashir stares around himself in shock, then stands up to leave. End Description.]
