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

[Adam Michaels]

So is curfew lifted right now?

Yup. Today is the first day without a curfew since January 8th.

I meant was I allowed to go outside at 12:01 AM this morning?

 

[LyricalLyricist]

Im not sure. Good question although it’s too late now. I just assumed the curfew starting on 27th carried over and the one starting on 28th(tonight) is gone).

Sorry a bit random, but got a promotion yesterday for CIUSSS project pilot leader for the vaccination's organization in Quebec/Portneuf/Charlevoix. I am so happy! Had to reinvent myself after being laidoff at Air Canada(20 years seniority). Will be making sure that all the ministerial directives and staff get the best of coaching for the pandemic!

Lets keep going forward!

Anyone with a vaccination question can PM me. Health to all of you!

congrats my dude

Yup, we're already at 55% 1st dose received, 65% including people with appointments taken. We'll get to 70% in no time. No reason to delay opening up.

That's not mentioning people protected by having had the infection and snowbirds vaxxed in the USA.

Again....Look what's happening elsewhere to evaluate what to do next.
Maybe you are right, but still need to be cautious.

In case you are not aware, there's a surge in the UK with the B.1.167.2 variant....even amongst those who were infected and those who received only one dose. They were around 1,900-2,400 cases a day for a couple of months. 3,200 2 days ago and yesterday they jumped to 3,500.

Granted, it's not that much compare to previous numbers but that was enough reinstate some measures in certain zone

2nd doses is needed in order to control that variants. Luckily it's not really here yet.
When we'll get around 50-60% of people fully vaccinated, then you should be right, but we're one of the country with the lowest amount of 2nd doses given.

I guess I answered you too late. I hadn't noticed you asked it at 1AM. I answered when I got up a little before 6AM. So our times were mismatched.

Recent studies are showing that one dose is effective between 30-40% against all known variants. Here in Ontario most adults who chose to be vaccinated should be fully vaccinated by the end of September. I think with most people being outside in the next couple of months things should work out. I'm hopeful anyways.

Thanks for your service, + congrats on your promotion, and reinvention. Took some guts I'm sure. Encouraging you to keep moving forward and aim even higher.

Already a lineup outside of Burgundy Lion at 9 am. People aren't hesitant at all.

I think we will start to see cases rising in the coming weeks, it's expected after removing curfew that kept them low and opening things up again. Hopefully though the surge is not so high.

It's definitely a risk we have to take. Today it's two weeks since I got vaccinated, so I am certainly feeling more free to enjoy life again with less hesitancy.

Agreed, at a certain point we have no choice. But, we also can't be alarmed by a rise in case because it's inevitable. The curfew kept things in check here and saved us from the 3rd wave. Question becomes whether our vaccines will help maintain that. I think we'll see cases start to rise over the next 2 weeks back to around 700-1000 per day, but hopefully it ends there and starts to fall again.

I’ll take the under. Fingers crossed.

i wouldn't be surprised, I think hospital numbers will be the one closely monitored.

Congrats Holystik!!! Very well deserved! Thank you for everything you’re doing to help us in this crisis/pandemic.

- 104K doses administered. 101K in the last 24 hours and another 3K+ from previous dates.

Don't you need a reservation to go on terrasses? That's what I read in the papers. Why would there be a lineup?

 

[FrankMTL]

Impressive numbers! Already at 75% (incl. appointments) for 12+ is very good and almost 66% for the entire population is crazy good.

 

[waffledave]

I'm guessing not? I think they just have to take your name and etc...

The rules are mandatory reservations but no one knows the rules. I had a guy call and try to reserve for 50 people at my families resto. He was mad when we said we can't lol.
Hospitality is gonna be a shit show over the next couple weeks

At least we have not seen an increase in fatality so far. Maybe the number will show later.


As for UK
3400 cases for 67M population is like 400 cases for Québec which is our situation right now. So not that worried yet.

Hey - great news!! Congratulations! It's weird how sharply divided the workforce has become. Half of us were in sectors that have been totally screwed over – hospitality/restaurants/fitness/travel – and others have, like you, reinvented and thrived. I lost a ton of income last year, but found a job that's paying me more than I've ever earned in my life. Luck of the draw...

That is awesome to hear! I'm in the same exact position. Terrible year financialy in 2020 but this year it's making up for it.

One thing to keep in mind that will boost vaccination stats in the next few days/weeks.

A new plan has been put in place in the past few days for the people which got vaccinated in other countries to get officially counted as vaccinated(1 or 2 doses). We have tons of people which got vaccinated as in exemple in the U.S.(snowbirds, etc) and are not accounted for. Those citizens need to book an appointment through the call centre to show up to a vaccination centre and show foreign vax proof to be added in the system. They will then receive their QR codes.

Also for those of you which got covid instead of a second dose and are wondering how will I get my vax proof(QR code) a plan will be put in place in the following days. Covid will count as a vax shot/QR code.

If any of you need help in relation to this or any other QR code related question you can contact Services Quebec at 1-877-644-4545 options * - 7 - 3
