July 12, 20222 yr comment_577467 One hundred & sixty thousand people crammed into Stampede Park on Sunday as it was Family Day at the Calgary Stampede. One of the DJ's on radio here today said he's never seen so many people at the Stampede before. Stampede officials expect attendance to top one million. With all the Covid variants circulating, there's going to be another wave here in Alberta. Our CMOH has disappeared. So has the Health Minister. Kenney's a lame duck Premier. He doesn't care. We don't get any stats anymore. To the government, the pandemic is over. I won't go within 10 klms of the Stampede.
July 12, 20222 yr comment_577479 1 million people projected at the stampede - sounds like it's over for more than just the government.
July 12, 20222 yr comment_577520 I mean, I get what Al is saying, but a lot of those people are outdoors, where things are much safer. Would I want to spend time in Nashville North tent or the trade show exhibition halls? Not likely. But just wandering around the outdoor portion of Stampede......it's not as bad as all that. Having said that, don't get me wrong....... even pre-pandemic, I don't like being among that many people. My wife is going with her mother on Friday, but I don't think I'll be going at any point.

July 14, 20222 yr comment_578050 Still waiting for them to drop eligibility down from 50. Manitoba government sucks.
July 14, 20222 yr comment_578051 it's the same everywhere... AB still at least 50+...might even be higher than that. Lame. I'm ready for that 4th one. Absolutely no reason not to get it the second it's available. This fall is going to be brutal for cases...
July 14, 20222 yr comment_578054 Got my second booster last week, skipped the RBC convention centre this time and went to Safeway, easy peasy.
July 14, 20222 yr comment_578056 I've already had my fourth dose for awhile, my doctor unexpectedly offered it to me when I was at my last physicians appointment, and I thought "Fine let's get it over with" and unfortunately I'm afraid that my cousin's wedding may have unintentionally turned into a super spreader event because my aunt's mother (not my grandparent though but she treats me and the rest of the cousins like we're her grandkids) tested positive....and I actually hugged her on sunday before we left my aunt's house, and now my dad ain't feeling well, Though a majority of the wedding attendees have all their needed doses (minus my dad's youngest sister)

July 14, 20222 yr comment_578093 No it's not, my father has tested positive for the damn thing Edited July 14, 20222 yr by iHeart
July 15, 20222 yr comment_578119 I believe I can get my 4th dose now and finally my son is eligible to start getting vaccinated! I will likely delay my 4th dose until he is fully vaccinated. I am fortunately able to avoid risky situations (and delay my return to society) until he can finally be protected. Hopefully they will be rolling out the upgraded boosters by fall.

Went back to work Friday. If you are dosed up you should be ok. My dad is diabetic too so... yeah. He's fine now tho
July 25, 20222 yr comment_581154 well it took ten days but dad finally cleared that damn thing out, now we just have to wait for that cough to leave and for his sense of smell and taste to return

My wife & i got our fourth booster June 14th. They weren't offering 4th boosters in AB at the time. As of a week ago they are.
July 25, 20222 yr comment_581273 Got my 4th last week, the day they were available to 18+. Thankful for it....had 2 of my staff go down with positive tests in the last two weeks. Hoping to avoid my second go-round for as long as possible...

Rainy day the day after cause I know I’ll be feeling sketchy. Apparently a virus is going around though, just not Covid, uncle has got it now. At least until the next test…
