But, I certainly won't be surprised if we don't. I was at Costco last night, getting bulk Covid, and it was so pleasant inside with only 10% capacity. I didn't feel encroached upon at all. Whereas, last Thursday, the other shoppers were so close that I almost became family with them.

Heard from another friend who got an appointment about an hour after I did and their kid is going in on the 28th, so those appointments filled up fast. Very encouraging that there's so much uptake. Encouraging and not surprising - kids have been greatly impacted by the restrictions.
May 14, 20214 yr comment_504610 I can't recall who was worried about the efficacy of the vaccines with delay of the second dose. Was that @SpeedFlex27? Anyways, here is some good news on that front.
May 15, 20214 yr comment_504663 Wish they would say if the people who have died were vaccinated cause if they have...what's really changed?
May 16, 20214 yr comment_504672 Many people have such a shallow understanding of freedom - it's really sad. Instead of realizing that our freedoms should make us better humans - they just see them as the right to do whatever they want.

May 16, 20214 yr comment_504678 Just a guess, but I'm thinking they were unvaccinated people. Everything I've seen suggests Pfizer/Moderna are almost 100% effective against preventing hospitalization and death even among the VOCs. The other possibility I was thinking is that it is death from people who caught Covid and have been fighting it for a long time, but older people have been eligible for vaccines for quite a while already. From an anecdotal perspective, all 3 of my remaining grandparents live in seniors facilities and are fully vaccinated. I know from my grandma's facility most (something like 75% CHOSE not to get vaccinated) and from my other grandparent's place there were a lot that chose not to get vaccinated as well. Something that really makes me shake my head when the vaccine was brought right to their place and it wasn't a matter of logistics. Fortunately all my grandparents were sane and chose to get the shot. I might have had to leverage contact with my newborn baby as bait to get my grandpa vaccinated. But he was quickly fully on board. They really should be saying if these people were vaccinated or not. If they were unvaccinated as I assume they were, it would really put an impetus on others to get vaccinated. Especially those older folks who are resisting for whatever reason.

It's the quickest and easiest way to identify the most loathesome, self centered, stains in our society.
May 16, 20214 yr comment_504699 https://winnipeg.ctvnews.ca/number-of-manitobans-contracting-covid-19-after-vaccination-in-line-with-what-is-expected-1.5422622 Since Frosty keeps asking, 410 cases and 7 deaths for people who had been vaccinated in Manitoba. That's out of 48,000 people. So the chance would be .8% of catching Covid and .01% chance of dying. I'm going to assume no to the deaths announced today.

Isn't it sad that the people crying for FREEDOM are the ones most unwilling to do anything about it by doing someting minor like wearing a mask. Maxime Bernier is a ******.
May 17, 20214 yr comment_504710 Sad to say, we are now the worst-affected province in Canada, beating out Alberta, which was the object of pity and criticism. Worse yet, the word from the provincial health officer is that the worst is yet to come and not expected to improve until mid-June. We have poked fun at Alberta and Saskatchewan, but now Saskatchewan is predicting pretty much normality by mid-July. Our ICUs are full and healthcare staff are overloaded. We are in big trouble, folks.

May 17, 20214 yr comment_504715 You guys are a couple of weeks behind us in AB......and I can give you a bit of a peek into the future: As much exponential growth as you're seeing now, you're going to see nearly equal exponential "decay", as they call it. The numbers are going to fall off a cliff once enough people are vaccinated (combined with people adhering to public health measures and the natural decline of cold/flu season come summer time). We went from more than 2000/day cases to just over 1000 in about a week. Active cases is falling every day by several hundred. Our hospitalizations are falling (tho the ICU is still up there and needs to come down...) Do what you can to limit your interactions with others....get vaccinated.......the good will come. Stay safe, my friends!
