OT: Covid-19 (Part 43) Let 'em in

[ClasslessGuy]

Heard from friends at Global Affairs that they expect the borders to open around July 22nd. Unofficial. They are waiting if the variants go nuts here.

Correct me if I'm wrong but right now with one dose I could go for work training but would have to test and quarantine 3 days when I come back?

I'll get my second shot in august, I assume we won't have any testing or quarantine for work related travel at the end of august & September.

 

[waffledave]

have you re-tried today?

yesterday, I had 0 availability. Had more openings today

Yes I did. I'll keep trying throughout the day. But hearing from others that walk-in was the way to go, no lines, nobody there, got it immediately.

 

[ClasslessGuy]

BTW I still didn't received anything (proof) from my first show (moderna at pharmaprix)

I have a card they gave me on site but nothing online

The 18-29 group is absolutely not committed to this vax campaign. Numbers are so low.

Unfortunately this is also the group of people that is gathering “illegally” the most, probably the least likely to get tested, and the most likely to spread it.

I know for myself at age 18-23, I partied like an animal... I seriously doubt Covid would’ve stopped me.

Yeah, I remember too LOLOL!

Because of parent influence, the 12-17 are already up to 70%, which is great.

Read somewhere they were trying to bribe that age group by offering free hot dogs if they get vaccinated.

Yeah, they are trying with hockey jerseys too. I mean, what can work with them? I shouldn't know because my kids are in the bracket (27-29) and they are both vaxxed and they take this seriously. Sooo....maybe others can answer this better.

 

[dinodebino]

With the Delta variant, I worry that those 18-29 will be the ones falling this time around.

It does affect younger people much more. In India I read something like 1/100 infected children ends up hospitalized.

Everything wide open in Arizona for quite some time and still our COVID patient load in the hospital remains very low, much like a regular flu season. We still have the frightened CNN crowd but they can stay home if they like. Our Governor just announced that our Colleges and Universities cannot mandate the vaccines to it's students or even a mask. All voluntary.

On the vaccine front anybody can get a vaccine at any time at many clinics and pharmacies , free without an appointment.

Lol...The CNN crowd.....
So pretty much the rest of the world are the CNN crowd.

There's pretty much restrictions everywhere in the world.
I watched the Euro and I don't see one building filled to the top like in the US.

Maybe it's more the Fox News crowd who's been wrong mostly at every turn and at 180 degree from the rest of the entire world in this pandemic that are not really in tune with what's going on.

You guys should stop politicizing everything.

We're open and have been for a while now.

Yes, let's make decisions based on anecdotal evidence.

Online proof is for Pfizer. For moderna. It's a paper proof. Ask your pharmacist

Vanier says all full. I wonder if on July 9th I just go to a walk in at the airport or even CAE is close to my work.

Quebec is doing great. Arizona, not so much.

Everything is relative obviously, Zona has been in the thick of this since late April 2020, they didn't catch a break last summer like we did. They used to have 60k cases/1k deaths per week at some point (and they were barely acknowledging the issue then). From that angle what they are going through presently is "great".

I trust The National Enquirer more then CNN and rightly so.

No new cases in Newfoundland today.

Ok? That's pretty stupid IMO but you can believe anything you want. I still don't know what "tHe CnN cRoWd!!!" means.

I don’t like CNN but I still think we’re doing better than the US because you know less deaths is good.

I will concede that at a certain point it is the nature of the beast and we have to accept it. We’re just loading up on that 2nd dose and we’ll be better prepared.

They are both spectacle sensationalist garbage compared to quality media.. but one of them keeps getting sued for libel and loosing.

Care to guess which one? (I know you will evade this or simple won't answer)

I don't watch TV much other than sports AND thank you for Ducharme.....that's what happened when you go into a country who don't gives a shit.

I never made the decision but it's the right one!!

You make your decision from the fear mongers. Stayed scared forever?
