The most vulnerable already have shots, the rest of us are as in need as anyone. Honestly I think it is time to shift the focus away from age groups and get the people out in public their shots. You want schools and businesses and restaurants open you better vaccinate the people working in those places.

Yeah its about time all teachers across the province get vaccinated. Hopefully with Johnson and Johnson shot coming that is single does it will make getting vaccinated easier for some of our more vulnerable populations like the homeless.

Wife and I just got the shot. I am ecstatic. Astrazeneca from local Pharmacy. The dude at Regent Park Pharmacy was awesome. He walked us through everything, assuaged my Wife's and my own concerns. Told us what to expect and what to watch out for. Darrel is awesome!

Let's hope so. We have (had) 55,000 AZ vaccines in freezers in Manitoba not being used. Now, they're going to be scooped up very fast. I have a bit of anxiety about skipping in front of some that need it more than I do but the Gov't is enacting a plan to get doses to those communities. I couldn't believe social media yesterday among my peers. It was like Xmas. Some were sharing pics and others were sharing that they had upcoming appointments. It felt good. I sent a message to a co-worker that it was available and she made an appointment for her and her husband. They were giddy.

None. Glad to see you booked one. I believe it was the opposite. Oxford university conducted studies on all ages and in England had a higher proportion of elderly in their studies. As has been said just about all have near 100% efficacy against severe illness or death. Give me whatever jab I can get as soon as I can get it. That is AZ on Monday.

Do you have the urge to go out and buy Microsoft products, does everything you look at remind you of Bill Gates, has your wifi all of a sudden gotten better

Done and done. Now, I wait to find out what super power this gives me.

Once again, Gen X/Y to the rescue.....smart enough to know "just ******* get it in me!!"

Handful of Sobey's appointments available this week: https://www.pharmacyappointments.ca/

Yeah me too. I just wanted an excuse to post Tyrone.

I tend to agree. There is plenty that gov't can do without banning something. Education is usually the best idea.

My sincere hope is that this rush of people getting vaccinated wakes up the people being picky about which vaccine they get and the ones just normally hesitant. Make it seem like they're missing out and get everyone clamoring to get a shot.

Just booked my AZ with Rexall.

Tomorrow....lots coming tomorrow.

From what I have read, it works well against The UK variant and the P1 variant in terms of transmissibility and mild to severe symptoms. The south African variant is where things get dicey. it has a 10,9 % efficacy in preventing mild to moderate symptoms. The good news is, so far it has a track record of 100% efficacy against SEVERE symptoms. ANd that is kind of what we want to do... take the shot so we don't die. Sure there are concerns, but the benefits FAR outweigh the miniscule chance of clots. https://www.bbc.com/news/explainers-56665396 Handy little chart here: Here are few more articles: https://www.pharmaceutical-technology.com/news/astrazeneca-covid-vaccine-blood-clot/ https://www.ema.europa.eu/en/news/covid-19-vaccine-astrazeneca-benefits-still-outweigh-risks-despite-possible-link-rare-blood-clots

Just got an appointment for my Wife and myself for tomorrow morning. Called the pharmacy.

We're finally moving in that direction too. https://atlantic.ctvnews.ca/nova-scotia-organ-donation-presumed-consent-law-takes-effect-1.5271098?cache=ngyhfzxv%3FcontactForm%3Dtrue%3FclipId%3D104062 Nova Scotia organ donation presumed consent law takes effect Nova Scotians who don’t choose to opt out of donating their organs and tissue will be considered as having agreed to be a donor after death. Nova Scotia became the first province or state in North America to pass such legislation when the act was passed unanimously in April 2019. Now, we need our gov't to do that too.

He probably always was but was afraid to come out until it became fashionable.

Wow, I am really surprised to see guilty on Murder 2 and Murder 3. Manslaughter was a given. Nice to see justice prevailing. Just remember... if not for Darnella Frazier hitting record on her phone- this is how it would have gone down officially:

Wait Wait wait wait.... so... you're telling me that Don jr. is not a legit New York Times best seller? That he cheated? You're full of ****! 😁 😁 😁 😁 😁 😁 😁

Former Minnesota police officer Derek Chauvin has been found guilty on three counts of murder and one count of manslaughter in the May 25, 2020 death of George Floyd, a 46-year-old Black man who was handcuffed by police on suspicion of passing a counterfeit $20 bill. Chauvin then proceeded to pin Floyd onto the pavement, with his knee on Floyd's neck, for a full 9 minutes and 29 seconds. salon

I may like his music, but man is he a fuckwit.

I know! I've been walking round all day like:

Guilty, guilty, guilty.

Second degree unintentional murder, looks like they found him guilty of all the charges

Ha! Even the Rogers network is working now. Let's just say, my Excel is not freezing. Phone seems quicker with a longer battery life My Outlook on life is suddenly improved. Everything is great !

They should have Mobile units with the vaccines that only require refrigeration. Get the shots TO the schools and have a quick morning/afternoon vaccine session. Teachers NEED to be vaccinated before the transmission in classrooms becomes a huge problem because of the variant.

Ugh, finally. Someone needed to point out that these GQP members criticizing other party members have NO credibility because of their own mess.

I agree however there are varying levels of 'harm to others' that create debate about interpretation and severity.

I have no problems if someone wants to do drugs. As long as they're not harming anyone around them and they contribute to offset the health costs, like smokers do with tobacco tax.

My Crack Habit agrees!

that's dumb. Laws don't stop ****. They need to take a look at the long history of prohibition of....literally any substance that has been banned....and see where that leads.

Also am I the only person that has noticed that OLN has gone to crap now? it was once Outdoor Life Network, now it just airs random ****

I'm starting to question the validity of the reports of vaccine hesitancy. I've spent the better part of the last few hours trying to get an appointment, and they are few and far between. Managed to get in to the Walmart in Steinbach on Friday 😀

I've seen some billboards around the city. Suspect those aren't hugely successful to people who have already made up their mind against them, but it is never a bad thing to have those things mentioned and mentioned often.

All that said, I booked it anyways. Going Friday!

if the NFL, NBA, baseball, hockey, depended on ticket sales as much as the cfl, they would be in the same boat. not the same situation at all. but the general silence from the league is pretty bad.

It sounds like people are taking advantage of the new criteria, good get as many jabs as possible into arms as fast as possible

I've got an appointment for Moderna/Pfizer on Saturday night, but if I can get a AZ jab prior to that, I'll likely take it.... Alberta doesn't start taking 40+ appts till tomorrow morning so we'll see how it goes.

I have my appointment for Friday morning. My wife has one for tomorrow. Current mood: pharmacyappointments.ca to make an appointment with Sobeys/Safeway

Just saw this at the bottom of the Eligibility Criteria website: Medical Clinics and Pharmacies The AstraZeneca/COVISHIELD vaccine is used to provide COVID-19 vaccines in doctors’ offices and pharmacies. Manitoba public health officials have developed guidance for the use of the AstraZeneca/Covishield vaccine. If you are a senior or have mobility issues and need help getting to your appointment at a clinic or pharmacy, call 211 for available transportation options in your area. Eligibility Criteria Effective April 19, 2021 - all Manitobans aged 40 and over will be eligible to receive the AstraZeneca/Covishield vaccine at a medical clinic or pharmacy. Eligible Manitobans can find their nearest clinic or pharmacy with available doses by visiting: manitoba.ca/covid19/vaccine/finder.html

I totally agree with this being the case.

Good for them. I hope we are soon behind.

Stick it in my veins. Literally.

They waited until he was secure then jumped him. It was a premeditated attack on an unarmed man. This is not a lack of training but an intentional assault.

Power tripping assholes sadly seem to get drawn to police work.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/pimicikamak-cross-lake-cree-nation-shares-vaccine-doses-teachers-front-line-workers-1.5992729 Pretty awesome news!

I got the active 2. it. I got a used one of kijiji for like 125 i think? it's a hidden feature, but I actually enabled it to measure blood pressure. There's youtube videos on how to do it. In korea it's approved but in NA the blood pressure monitor is not FDA approved so it doesn't come pre-installed. waterproof, tracking workouts, walks, bpm all work well. phone functions well worth every penny

Succession is great... slow paced but wow .. hbo does it right
