Somebody should tell Heather there is a Bomber event at IG Field and then spring a press conference on her.

The LC is great option because of the established network; however, you need to be 18+ to go in, you need to line-up and show ID, and it's Xmas time so, it's freakin' busy AF. If you have children with you, they can't go in. Easy enough for me but what about single parents?
December 22, 20213 yr comment_548647 I wish the news media, you know journalists, would stop sugar coating things and do their damn job of finding out what’s really going on in whatever they are investigating no matter what side of the political spectrum they’re reporting on. Latest example Rachel Thomas Tory MP ‘touts false information about Covid-19 vaccines, wants unvaccinated to be respected, appreciated in the community’. No, Rachel Thomas is using a confirmed lie to push an agenda that has nothing to do with let’s be kind to one another regardless of vaccination status. Dig deeper journalists, find the true motive and start calling it what it is. Sheesh.

December 23, 20213 yr comment_548693 14 hours ago, Tracker said: Apparently a free box of N95 masks with each purchase There are reports that a lot of the KN95 masks that are being given away are expired. Why does this not surprise me? For those of you that get free masks, check inside to see the production date. I believe there is information inside the box that says they expire a year from production date. I was fortunate to buy a box of N95's the day before news of Omicron broke. https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/canada/free-kn95-masks-in-many-manitoba-liquor-stores-go-quickly-some-masks-expired/ar-AAS5E2J

Well okay...other than maybe the rubber bands snapping. 🙂 9 minutes ago, JCon said: https://xkcd.com/2557/ It is completely stupid to take the chance. But I know some people who had Covid in 2020 & got double - vaxxed in 2021 They had exposure to Covid again - did not get sick or test positive.
December 23, 20213 yr Author comment_548699 I hope Omicron is not only less deadly but also has fewer long term health issues.

From what I've read on Omicron is that previous Covid infection does little to provide immunity. Pretty much everything I've read on Omicron strongly cautions that nothing is conclusive and further study is required though.

Best to take precautions and see what happens.

December 23, 20213 yr comment_548712 so just out of curiosity, what are you folks doing in terms of Christmas gatherings? Aare you cancelling everything altogether, and staying within your own household? Limited gatherings outside household? No change at all? Just curious how others are approaching Omicron and Christmas...
