OT: Covid-19 (Part 42) All Night Long

[MSLs absurd thighs]

I'm lowkey starting to debate whether I should invest some money in Medicago. Their Phase 3 is coming to an end soon, it's pennystock at this point in time, and there might be some easy money to make there.

Anybody has any insight on their vaccine development ? @Treb maybe?

 

[Per Sjoblom]

Shit! I was taking Jack out and went pick up the mail, when I rounded the corner I saw cops in helmets and with guns and they shouted: "Get back inside". I wonder if it is a hostage situation? Hmm I will see if I can sneak some photos through the window!

Canada has become the first country in the world to approve the use of a COVID-19 vaccine in children as young as 12 and provinces are already making plans to administer it. Almost immediately some provinces have announced they will make kids 12 and older eligible for the Pfizer BionTech vaccine as soon as Monday.

Never thought I would miss so many Habs games in my life... Covid crunch is insane! Due to the lack of workers in the health system, I am racking up non stop crazy weeks. I am closing in to a burnout lol.

I am starting to feel my lymph nodes in my neck everytime I turn my head, weird feeling. Once again my last week was an 80 hours week( compensated 68 hours)

Disclaimer, I do realize I am fortunate enough to be working.
Sorry, don't have many other places to vent.
I still find the time to post on our boards during my breaks!
Talk about an no life Habs fan lol

Hang in there friend... hopefully, you see your workload come back down to somewhat normal within a few weeks once more people have received the vaccine.

The plane cannot leave until everyone (75%) is admitted even if you get seated first.
The gov't lack of a clear plan to end the lockdown.

The fact that they don't talk about it doesn't mean the plan doesn't exist. Populations are finicky at best.

 

[SOLR]

Essentially, you're saying, what a lot of people don't want to hear:

This is not going away, even after vaccinations. At least not entirely, and not for a LONG, long time.

We'll control it as we control everything else, normal life is at a maximum 6-8 months away, minimum 3.5 months (50% 2nd dose+) - maximum covers the potential for an escape variant and the need for a 3rd shot.

 

[llamateizer]

The fact that they don't talk about it doesn't mean the plan doesn't exist. Populations are finicky at best.

I'm sure they have the plan. but nothing is shared. It has as much value as no plan.

Per their shared plan, we're going to end lockdown mid july.

I disagree, at this point, there is an inherent cost with planning in public. They need to keep a total focus on vaccination and that's what they are doing. They will be happy to cross that bridge as soon as they can.

you have the right to complain. I would never be able to work in the health system. I would've loved to, but didn't chose this career

I'm paid 40hr but does 50-60hr since the beginning of the pandemic. I'm not complaining because I have a good salary (software engineer).
15% of our department was laid off. one department eliminated, the other is in process. We're moving in a more "agile" and "dynamic" environment.

dev team is now responsible of testing and support existing customers.

The irony is that we recently received an email for referral bonus that is 5x higher than usual because the business is growing and we need to hire new people .

The information we have is that we'll get some freedom after that the young population get vaccinated.
If we take June 24th and add 3 weeks for immunity. That goes around mid july.

Initially, it was planned after 60+ get vaccinated. But we know with the variants, younger population is hit

I wish more transparency (but I know the politic backlash)

Would it make any substantial difference however in this case?

1) It's not like they are not being transparent, the message is clear, get vaccinated.
2) We all know the targets, they are the same for 20 others diseases.
3) They have shown over the last year plenty of desires to open up, even when it is dumb to do so.

I want transparency like the next person from our governments, but I want absolute competency ahead of a small difference in transparency.

Their results for their phase 3 should be out relatively soon, so if it's successful, I see their stock going up.

Their Quebec big facility is also scheduled to be done in 2023 so if not for the Covid vaccine, it will be something else.

Might be a good invest and forget for a few months/years candidate.

There was a shift how the whole is managed since people complained about Yo-yo Legault. That's when they came up with the 76 days thing that place us in late June for the re-opening. So they don't do short term'ish plan anymore.

Between now and then, the restrictions will follow the region's color code and that's pretty much it. (Unless they change their minds again.)

I'm in the same boat - I'm a dev and we just had major layoffs. So I'm stuck now working 70 hours a week (only paid for 40) trying desperately to save the project. I was made a dev lead which is not something I am particularly interested in, and so I'm on calls all day trying to pacify the client while still trying to support my team and also trying to finish my actual dev work that I am still expected to do. It's BS, those who got laid off got huge packages and I am stuck working for free. They laid off all these people to save money but they are saving even more by having everyone who wasn't laid off working unpaid OT.

HIV, Hepatitis does not involve the requirement of face masks and social distancing though.

That is what I'm getting at.

Masks + distancing will be a thing for a long time to come.

On the other hand, they do require a condom or abstinence.

And masks and distancing is what the government decided on, we could just as easily have isolated those at risk and let the rest of society live life. The problem is and always was our "health system" that's been crumbling under its own weight for 30 years.

It's not just our health system. The health system of most western democracies aren't designed to handle mass influx of ICU patients.

It's not a Quebec problem. It's a public health problem for most societies on the planet.

Déconfinement | Un plan avant le 24 juin

Looks like we should be getting a detailed plan soon. Legault liked what Saskatchewan did and wants something similar.

Just got vaccinated. It was Pfizer for me.

[ClasslessGuy]

Just read the SK plan, it’s looking good for QC and even before june 24 if we keep going at this rate and assuming the plan is the same (or better)

I'm able to book my vaccine tomorrow. Does anyone know if the site is open as of midnight? Or is it at a specific time tomorrow morning, or what? Haven't really paid attention to those details.

You can book your appointment after midnight, but they usually add new time slot at 8am the same day.
