COVID-19 pandemic as hospitalizations fell Thursday.The number of pandemic-related hospitalizations dropped by 117 to 3,153.

This includes 235 people in intensive care units, a decrease of 17 compared with the previous day.This comes after 231 patients were admitted while 348 left hospitals across the province in a 24-hour period.

High January death toll partly due to Quebec’s slow COVID-19 booster rollout, experts say Quebec also reported 3,956 new novel coronavirus cases, but officials have said the daily count isn’t representative of the current situation since PCR testing is limited to priority clientele, like teachers and health-care workers.Since the beginning of the health crisis, the province has recorded a total of 849,520 infections and 13,065 deaths.Meanwhile, the latest update shows 34,830 tests were given in screening clinics Tuesday.The province also says 23,081 rapid screening test results were registered on its new website, including 18,271 positive tests.The immunization campaign doled out another 78,789 doses of the vaccine in the province.

Sharon Stone calls Joe Rogan “dangerous” over COVID misinformation
COVID vaccines.The actor hit out at the podcaster in light of COVID misinformation spreading on his podcast The Joe Rogan Experience, which Rogan works on in an exclusive deal with Spotify.More than 270 members of the science and medical community signed an open letter, which called Rogan’s actions “not only objectionable and offensive but also medically and culturally dangerous”.“COVID is not an opinion-based situation and Mr Rogan thinking that his opinion or disclaimer for the lives he personally has affected and caused losses of – it’s not an opinion,” Stone said to TMZ.“Mr Rogan is risking people’s lives with his idiocy and his professing that his thoughts about COVID are opinions.“Infectious diseases are science, and they are fact-based situations, so the pretence that these are opinions is dangerous.“He should put a disclaimer that he’s an asshole and that his behaviour is dangerous and affecting people’s lives and deaths.”Rogan publicly responded to the situation earlier this week (January 31), as many artists have started removing their music from Spotify in protest.In a video clip posted to Instagram, Rogan addressed “some of the controversy that’s been going on over the past few days”.He told fans: “I don’t always get it right. I will do my best to try to balance out these more controversial viewpoints with other people perspectives so we can maybe find a better point of view.”Admitting that it is a “strange responsibility to have this many views and listeners,” he promised “to do my best in the future to balance things out”.
