The local newspaper had a spin about how parents are fed up with online learning and were demanding kids be sent to school ASAP. Like, really? It seems like such a dumb move with only like 3 weeks left of school. What benefit could it possibly have that isn't joined with increased risk?

My husband and I are both Pfizer first Moderna second. I had no side effects for either, but my husband got really feverish and chills for like 30 hours after, then he bounced back. When I called to make the appointment I was specifically asked to agree not to leave of the vaccine wasn't my first choice, and lo it wasn't and there was a woman there saying she wouldn't accept the Moderna vaccine and left. My husband is American and we still don't care about the mix and match, we both consider it better to be double vaxxed than piss around about needing the preferred choice. I'm not taking my chances with variants.

I feel like even if the feds had made one, it would be necessary to advertise it to the provinces. Which would be considered an offense and lead to less vaccine passport mandates, since we live in the contrarian world. Just making one would be considered equal to enforcing one.

The problem is, it is the responsibility of journalism to point it out from the sidelines, though they likely won't. The CPC want another party to do it, to show them as pedants, over-worried with form over function. Just like with the spelling error filled pamphlet that would get a professional designer fired for not noticing. It's obvious ploy tactics. EDIT: I went through journalism post sec. Got my piece of paper and never entered the field because the whole thing is a shitshow and every bit of my education catered to keeping it that way.

Formity forms forms form. It's the most bureaucratic thing I've ever dealt with in my life, getting statements, dating pictures, written and signed personal essay of intent, finger printing and criminal clearance from county of origin, biometrics for Canada, doctors assessment yet to come. Work history and income, employer endorsement.And roughly 50 pages of forms filled, that changed part way through our process and required updating. This is for my husband. Been well over a year, he is still in limbo. Syfe fucked around with this message at 19:25 on Oct 5, 2021 |

I don't go out socially, I haven't since this whole thing began and I don't know that I will for some time yet. I still mask outdoors, I put the mask on when I leave the house and it doesn't come off until I am back. But everybody else is pretty much pandemic's over. Bars and restaurants are packed. More people wear masks under their nose indoors, nobody wears them outdoors, though I can't be surprised there. I get that some people are "done with this poo poo" but I refuse to give an inch while the risks are still death, even double vaccinated. Also laughed when the fake exemptions lovely Dr's were supplying in BC included Atopy related illnesses when mine have generally improved with masking.

Capri Sunrise posted:Are you waiting until complete COVID 0? I'm sort of skeptical that will occur personally - I think it's always going to be an existing risk even 5-10+ years from now. It's of course a personal choice but I do wonder what approach the more stringent individuals will take if the horizon kicks out for years or it just becomes a regular occurrence like other airborne illnesses. I don't know yet know how I feel about the long term but I am comfortable with the measures I do take, as I said masking actively helps me, even if we reached covid 0 I would still mask up now for my health. I guess though as well, I can't goto restaurants or bars due to dietary restrictions anyway, I live where I have no family, so calls and video chat with family were already the norm. I already had restrictions on my life due to my health and situation, so I guess that little bit more doesn't bug me as much. I already shrugged at going to the theatre to see something, covid existing as a known just makes the choice definitive not to go. Full hermit doesn't bug me, but I know it's not for everyone, but again my existing medical conditions has meant some level of isolation my entire life, it was impossible for me to miss things that other people enjoy freely anyway.

If they're already there for a test, they might engage in commerce! win-win! As an added bonus, exposure of people already in the store to potentially covid-positive people, just means they'll return for repeat business later!

I just saw the BC news on school, holy poo poo that's hosed up. My sister is a high risk teacher who's vaccinated but was told her immunity would still be negligible and this was before boosters were a glimmer. I know she currently still works from home because she has the medical proof to back up her claims, but I also know her boss has fought her on it and doesn't like it. The very idea that we are regressing on our stances on sick days because of this is hosed up, I am not as immunocompromised as my sister but still tend to get sick more often than the general populace for my own medical reasons. I would hope we would become more compassionate not less, humans loving suck. Syfe fucked around with this message at 01:54 on Jan 8, 2022 |

I keep seeing "learning to live with it" articles, but like okay? We still need to curb things as to not back up the hospital's with covid cases and the domino effect that has, but everything seems to imply that learning to live with it will somehow work out okay. Without acknowledging the reason why restrictions are actually necessary, it's just people crying over "normal". Also on immunocompromised, my sister takes immune suppression medications and was told her vaccines likely didn't do much, she still got them all, but because of her meds it's negligible at best.

Can't wait to see how all this lifting of restrictions plays out, especially mask mandates. Weather isn't quite hospitable enough for people to just flow outdoors. Also no idea how Fall will look in the end. I love that we're just done trying to save people or help hospital burden. Nope, it's time to learn to live with the virus and it will see our valiant signal and retreat, no doubt.

TulliusCicero posted:Isn't this Triumph of the Swill like deeply unpopular right now in Canada? My guess would be they are politically locked, from not hearing the end of it from the Conservatives if they do something about it (and creating either sound bytes or attack ads)*, to getting yelled at for not doing anything about it. But ultimately because if they sprung super early the cons were going to beat their chests over THEIR VOTERS not being heard. Because the mandate lifting in conservative provinces and lack of political will there is mostly because it's some core voter base they don't want to lose. *This was going to happen anyway. The Dark Project posted:I am really surprised people haven't just started to rain down bricks and cinder blocks onto the trucks below from high roof tops. The amount of tolerance towards these idiots has been astounding. See, now those people would face repercussions.
