00:21:07.220Winnipeg Children's Emergency Department in crisis amid spike in respiratory virus cases from a medical director there.
00:21:15.480178 kids needed care yesterday, a 45% increase from expected patients this time of year pre-COVID.
00:21:24.120Now, apparently, this RSV virus has been running rampant through the country.
00:21:28.780Winnipeg's Children's Hospital Emergency Department is in crisis as it struggles to keep up with a spike in respiratory virus cases, the department's medical director says.
00:21:37.860Yesterday, 178 kids showed up at the hospital's emergency department for care.
00:21:42.480about a 45 percent increase from the number of kids expected this time of year before covid
00:21:47.600dr elizabeth doyle said the children's hospital emergency department right now is actually in
00:21:54.320crisis that's because you fired so many medical professionals who wouldn't take the experimental
00:21:59.800shot if you hire them back i'm sure you'll be fine you'll be prepared you'll be able to handle
00:22:06.300the crush we're seeing more volume and more acuity than we've ever seen pre-pandemic in large
00:22:14.740large volumes it's unprecedented the surge in cases of respiratory viruses in manitoba for the
00:22:21.020last few weeks is linked to both how many respiratory viruses are circulating in the
00:22:26.280community and eased pandemic rules that have allowed these illnesses to re-emerge oh what
00:22:33.200are they suggesting what are they saying are they saying that we need to go back to those
00:22:41.180useless restrictions i can't you know last night the round table guys if you weren't here

00:23:38.220me on either one of those two platforms i would love to see you there i'm much more active on
00:23:42.980twitter now than i was before as far as true social i'm not on there yet but i'll probably
00:23:48.180make an account sometime in the next little while because people are asking me to and i feel it's
00:23:53.820important to be on as many platforms as possible okay so here's doug ford the cowardly premier of
00:23:59.780ontario talking about whether masks should come back he's being asked by a reporter this comes
00:24:07.060from rowan kumar paul masks might come back this was today and you know i'd wear a mask when you
00:24:15.240You can, you know, you're within risk and get your get your flu shot.
00:25:07.300Old guys like me, I'm not chancing it.
00:25:09.000So we're going to we're going to get a shot just to be safe.
00:25:12.380Don't you mean overweight guys like you, Doug?
00:25:17.120It's a fact this statistic came out about 18 months ago now that 78 percent of covid fatalities were obese.
00:25:25.620And I'm not talking about like when we use the word obese, people go, oh, that's insulting.
00:25:30.380No, it is a actual clinical term. And it describes people who have a BMI of 30 plus who are generally in the area of 50 to 60 pounds over their ideal weight. Not necessarily grotesque obesity, which is much bigger than that.
00:25:48.640That's my 600-pound life territory, right?
00:25:51.940But this guy is obese, and he is at higher risk of death from COVID.
00:25:59.320But even still, his chances of dying from COVID, given his age, probably about 0.01%, according to new statistics that have been coming out.
00:26:15.920By the way, I did read a statistic today regarding myocarditis and pericarditis.
00:26:23.020Now, people have been saying, well, I mean, that could be from the experimental genetic therapy.
00:57:16.540The provincial progressive conservative government released a strategy yesterday that will, in broad strokes, guide Manitoba's actions to protect its water resources for years to come.
00:57:27.360The province said it will develop an action plan this winter to determine its future decisions.
00:57:32.980The strategy vows to make every drop count by valuing the province's water resources.
00:57:42.480I don't think that if every Manitoban took 10 showers a day for the rest of their lives,
00:57:51.280the next 50, 60, 70, 80 years, that we could run out of water in this province.
00:57:59.860We have hydroelectricity from massive rivers flowing from the Hudson Bay in the northern part of this province.
