I got registered in British Columbia to get my shot, I'm American and get to wait until June to get mine. It's sooner for 40+ but I'm 39 until June so alas Seeing the differences in healthcare stuff is wild

I'm in Alberta, and I'm 39 until November. All the websites and news articles said "people born in 1981" as well as "people 40+" so I called our provincial health hotline to clarify if it meant I wouldn't count because my birthday was in November. The nurse on the line said everyone born in 1981 counted even if they hadn't had their birthday yet this year. Is there someone you could talk to and ask the same?

She's (well) under 50 and she's in a regional area. Hazzard's statement infuriates me and it's not going to reassure anyone that the right thing to do is ignore the expert advice and have the AZ vaccine. These morons can't stop putting their feet in their mouths.

An elderly friend of mine in Melbourne Australia rang up to make a vaccine booking today and got a slot within the hour so he caught the train into town, was in and out of the mass vaccination hub in just 25 minutes and made it back home less than 2 hours after he'd made the phone call. So at least it's going smoothly! Now we just have to keep nagging everyone else in Australia to get a jab when their age bracket opens up.

Patiently waiting for enough time to lapse that the Greens' suggestion from months ago of developing mRNA vaccine manufacturing capabilities here in in Aus can finally be rediscovered by the LNP without the need to admit that those loving hippies might have been on the money and then actually implement it as if it's their own great plan.

Covid outbreak at my office this week. One of the managers came into work on Monday the 12th "with bad allergies" and proceeded to cough and sneeze up a storm. By Friday the 16th he feels absolutely terrible and gets tested, turns out he's got covid. The other manager was in a conference room with this guy several times throughout the week. On Sunday the 18th he feels like poo poo, gets tested, also has covid. On Monday the 19th two customer service agents come into work and are coughing and sneezing. Thankfully the senior manager tells them to leave and get tested. Boom, two more cases. Yesterday a driver feels a headache and fever coming on, goes for a rapid test which comes back positive. There are about 40 people in my building max, one guy just took out 12% of our staff so far. I feel like I dodged a bullet since I've been working at another building for the past 2 weeks and already planned next week as a week off. Senior manager asked patient zero where he might have caught it, he admits he's been going to bars and parties and stuff pretty much non-stop since covid started. Cool, cool.

The person I talked to was a "vaccine representative" so I'm not sure if they were a nurse or a call center person; I think TELUS is involved in this? Also it's just a month and a half, I'm on a visitor visa (long story) and can bunker down and wait it out if needed.

Here's a case of "alarmist headline for bad, but not terrible, news"... An unvaccinated worker set off an outbreak at a U.S. nursing home where most residents were immunized. quote:An unvaccinated health care worker set off a Covid-19 outbreak at a nursing home in Kentucky where the vast majority of residents had been vaccinated, leading to dozens of infections, including 22 cases among residents and employees who were already fully vaccinated, a new study reported Wednesday.

A Fancy Hat posted:Covid outbreak at my office this week. Sorry to hear that. I would hope that the majority of people would stay at home now when they feel even a little sick, but people that still don't treat this seriously at this point won't change their habits. I think until some people see/feel this first hand, they'll continue to tell themselves it's not a threat to them. So for every idiot that gets this virus, the chances rise that they and people close to them might start to take it a little more seriously.

You see, this is proof that (a) covid is just the flu and they're calling all flu covid, and/or (b) the measures *aren't* working because we don't have much flu this year and yet we still have covid, and obviously if it's working so well for flu it should work just as well for covid. (never mind how we have allowed for uncontrolled flu spread every year before this one, even taking pride in going to work with it)

I am curious what % of the pop will continue to wear masks long after they are vaccinated. Realistically, we should not see the flu get as bad as it ever has going forward (barring a major mutation) if at least ~20% of the pop wears masks. Trans-ocean flights were almost a tin can of cold and flu viruses, and as of now, I can't see myself not wearing a mask on one (wife's from Australia, and we live in Canada, so I have many more 14.5 hour flights in my future). Wondering if I can wear masks for the 2+ hours wait in the airport in Canada, 3 hour flight to SF or LAX, 3+ hour wait in that airport, 14.5 to Sydney, then 1-2 hour through immigration/baggage. Almost a full day of wearing multiple masks in a row. And you may ask - will you wear a mask when sleeping on the long flight? Yes - I can't sleep on planes, so I'll be wearing one. Then you may ask - so you don't sleep for ~24 hours? Yup, Kragger is a grumpy Gus when he finally lands in Sydney (though my wife would say I'm that before we even leave Canada).

I'll be wearing a mask until US daily infection rates are under 100-500 (and locally almost null). I'll be fully vaccinated on May 4th. I will wear one on a plane regardless probably from now on. I don't really give a poo poo about the flu and I never did. Flu shots weren't an option for me.

Yeah my friends who usually pick up every cold and flu going around all report that 2020 was their best year ever in that regard, even my friend with cystic fibrosis. One of my other friends who almost always gets an intense upper resp tract infection this time of year nearly escaped scot free this season until she sat near an unmasked guy who had the sniffles last week and now she's sicker than she's ever been, laid up in bed on antibiotics and steroids with a side order of paracetamol because she's been coughing so violently her ribs ache. There's always one rear end in a top hat who's determinged to ruin it for everyone.

I assume your area had varying degrees of shutdown like most places, and that many of the travelers who would pick up viruses on their vacations/holiday visits/business trips didn't get a chance to spread whatever they would have caught.
