As families set out to enjoy a holiday season free of COVID-19 restrictions in Canada, one doctor suggests people should still take protective measures to combat the rise of respiratory illnesses leaving medical teams on high alert.

Dr. Allan Grill, chief of family medicine at Oak Valley Health’s Markham Stouffville Hospital, believes that the holidays are a “wonderful time for people to get together” but says certain considerations should be made while determining the safety of larger gatherings.

“The thing is, it’s still a very rare condition when it gets invasive and causes those severe complications,” Dr. Grill said, referring to Step A infection. “There’s about five cases per about 100 thousand people. So it’s still pretty rare. But it’s obviously [something] we want parents to look out for.”

“You shouldn’t go to somebody’s home if you’re feeling unwell. Stay home if you’re sick. There are still [antigen] kits that [allow you to] test yourself and your families,” he explained.

le règne des idiotes...the realm of the idiots

Your article makes no mention of the fact that this health crisis is mostly the product of state/media hysteria about mandates. The fact that you refuse to take any responsibility for the harm you've done to society, is just guaranteeing that no one will ever trust you again.

jab

If we had real media would be talking about sudden adult, death syndrome,

I can’t believe people are allowed to have friends and family over this year! We need a real lockdown!!! WEnotME

Stop getting the shots! You'll be fine!

Remember when the lying fakenewsmedia pushed all the fearporn about Covid? I do, Remember when all these same Clowns push the 'Safe & Effective' narrative about the Jabs? I do, they lied to all of you then and they are lying to you AGAIN!

Out come the trolls.

I wonder how many anti vaxxer s have killed their parents with respiratory viruses?

You can’t “what if” us into fear and never seeing our families again. If you can go to the grocery store, you can see your family. Life is short, don’t delay another year to see people. It is depressing living in constant isolation over the “what if” scenario. It isn’t living.

Never listen to CTV or any other Main Stream Media

No one cares to read your BS

And now you understand why masks were bad for the population

Not an issue at the world cup apparently

Read the trials/side effects. Modern's jab states that side effects include RSV. Prob Pfizer too?

lf you think the vaxx sucks , try Paxlovid also made by Pfizer . Please dont flush it down the toilet . Fish are worth saving .

Did you know…

Try to avoid the sickly vaccinated people this holiday season.
