How Albertans can have Thanksgiving without a side of COVID-19

COVID-19 hospitalizations in Alberta jump to nearly 1,000 The clinician added people of any age taking medication for medical conditions, the very young and the under-vaccinated are at risk of severe disease.Less than a month into the new school year, dozens of schools have been placed on respiratory illness outbreaks and 2022 has seen children hospitalized by COVID at a higher rate than the two previous years of the ongoing pandemic.Saxinger said recent exposure to the virus via booster shot or infection reduces the likelihood of severe disease, hospitalization or death.“But of course, that doesn’t mean that a non-severe illness is a walk in the park,” she said, adding getting a booster shot days before attending a dinner can still help with individual protection.Saxinger said anyone with cold- or flu-like symptoms should avoid social gatherings. And getting a COVID-positive result in a rapid test can confirm if someone is contagious with COVID-19.“If they have symptoms and they test COVID-negative, I don’t necessarily think that that’s as reassuring as people might imagine it is.

Dozens of the college students, many of them aspiring doctors, signed on to the petition in the spring. "We are very concerned about our scores, and find that they are not an accurate reflection of the time and effort put into this class," the petition read, according to the New York Times. "We urge you to realize… that a class with such a high percentage of withdrawals and low grades has failed to make students’ learning and well-being a priority and reflects poorly on the chemistry department as well as the institution as a whole."Jones, 84, told the New York Times that he started seeing a loss of focus among students about a decade ago, but the problem was exacerbated by the coronavirus pandemic in 2020. "They weren’t coming to class, that’s for sure, because I can count the house," Jones told the newspaper.
