Based on the wording out of the province this morning, it sounds like proof of having 2 shots will be required to attend games. "Large-scale, outdoor professional sports or performing arts events may also allow fully immunized Manitobans to attend, subject to approval by Manitoba Public Health. The province will work with sports and arts organization to implement proof of vaccination protocols for these events." If you haven't had your first jab yet, and are on the fence, go get your first jab today or tomorrow. There is just enough time if you go right now to get in a 28 day period, get your second jab, and have the 14 day period before you can get your proof of vaccination before the home opener!

Not fair- there are many reasons why people don't get the vaccine:

Mid-season form!

TPR went down, so I wouldn't really worry too much about the higher numbers of new cases. I am more worried about people using work arounds to fake 2 dose proof. I feel there should be a HEAVY penalty for those scoff-laws.

So... our neighbor (who is a cop) just told us the most amazing story ever (NSFW) Apparently, at one of the recent anti-mask rallies, a counter-protestor (i.e. pro-mask, pro-vaccine) showed up with:

Most times (not always) they self identify. :-)

Any one on the fence about vaccines is an idiot full stop.

Really really love how MB is doing this.... Rewarding the double vaxxed with greater freedoms. AB calls or a violation of privacy (whether you're vaxxed or not) and gives everyone the same privileges. Gross. I'm uncomfortable going anywhere with large numbers of people because you don't know who the insane ones are.

Oh wow- nice spike in vaccinations: Manitoba recorded another 24,279 #COVID19 vaccine doses. That's awesome.

one dose mRNA vaccine against Delta variant= 33% efficacy. two dose mRNA vaccine against delta Variant = 84%-88% efficacy. Delta will be the dominant strain in a little over a month. Go get Moderna and be safe. Mixing is fine.

There was something about an app being available shortly that will be able to read the QR codes. My guess would be that the venues will have to be on the honor system to a point, but likely fined very heavily if they are caught allowing exceptions.

One of the issues I experienced trying to book for my mother was that once you have your appointment, you can't change it before cancelling your original. It would be helpful if the system just let you update your appointment, rather than forcing you to cancel first. Now, that doesn't apply to the pharmacies but you need to know where to look for those appointments. People get confused.

My hope is that anyone on the Bombers who is planning on retiring made that known to the organization weeks if not months ago.

Might be best analogy for vaccine shopping

Sinopoli is a huge loss for Lapo and Ottawa. Interesting the number of big names retiring.

Seeing some vacancies at Walmart for Moderna appointments.

for those that were wondering about how the league and teams make money off the single game betting:

Mid-season? That there is fine post season "loading up for a cup run" form.

Aaaaannnnnnnd scene. That’s a wrap folks.

mRNA explanation for the win!

In all seriousness- get vaxxed, it's the smart thing to do.

It's everywhere. It's a huge PR push by the Trumps/Kushners.

Many of my family and friends have booked Moderna in a pharmacy and received shots yesterday and today without cancelling their appointment ahead of time. The Safeway/Sobeys booking site is super easy to use. https://www.pharmacyappointments.ca/

Such BS. They deserve to rot away, alone and pathetic like all Trumpers. Oh, and it's all fake, since they just bought a place close to Maralago.

The province should take the choice away and reserve Pfizer for the younger demo.

I am so happy that it appears you will have to be fully vaxxed to attend Bomber games. Also happy gyms are opening and in a few weeks will be able to dine inside with other people. Yay being doubled vaxxed.

....

My second shot is July 7, so two weeks after that will put me on the good list a couple weeks before kick off! This. I can't get my 13 year old daughter in for her second because we don't know how many Pfizer there will be. Anyone have any suggestions?

I hope you're right. AND I hope Mitchell has a change of heart

THe province should have staffed more on the phones and maybe included a pop up chat feature on the covid appointment website (like on all the telecom companies' web sites). Put more resources in effective communication for all things covid vax related.

I dont think we are gonna see any regular guy other than medlock call it.

I'd bet a years salary Harris is one of the first guys to show up for camp. No change he's done. And Adams has posted videos of him doing football drills on his IG. I could see Neuf calling it. I don't think Bryant is done just yet. He wants to build a legacy here.

Yeah, but he likes trash talking so much. I bet he sticks around in order to get in some more yapping. And, now that he's a Grey Cup Champion, he'll do it even more.

What's even nuttier... Moderna is ~2-4% more efficacious than Pfizer... We should be reserving the Pfizer shots for 12-17 year olds...

Good stuff here...this suggests no limit on the number of fully vaxxed in attendance....

But catching up very quickly. We're vaccinating at a much higher rate, and will catch them in a few weeks I believe. There's a guy on Twitter who tracks this stuff and tweets out various data/charts/graphs every day....

I believe overall vaccination rates when you look at the fully vaxxed are still higher in the US than here. Some of those southern states are interesting though.

Hopefully no retirements for the Bombers 🤞

I prefer to call them the Garbage Knights. And I'm glad they're a loss away from being eliminated. **** that team.

Wow didn't see this, one more and Montreal is in the final 2....still hate em but it will be nice to see Vegas out too...😆😆

I'm not one for sports wagering... I absolutely do not understand the random numbers that Hustler is always talking about...... All I know is the league and its member clubs are expected to net 15-20 million from this, with each club getting around 2 million.... Based on estimates. Just what I've read on Twitter via CFL News and other feeds...

That is my understanding of the situation. But the gambling houses make so much ******* money... They pay each of the leagues a pile of money and it's still only a fraction of what they're taking in. It's really quite the racket...

So the companies that will now legally be able to accept bets in Canada, are going to pay the CFL a LOT (15-20 million is an estimate) to allow betting on their games. Each team is expected to net around 2 million bucks from this endeavour.

****** quitter

Let MTL win the next one then we can hate them again.

Do you know if the Government gets a cut? I mean, they did need to approve it in a bill. Would seem to be a good tax revenue stream for them.

Trump's former bodyguard becomes latest from Trumpworld entangled by Manhattan DA's probe Report: on New York prosecutors' advice, Trump's former bodyguard lawyer's up New York prosecutors are probing whether a former bodyguard of Donald Trump's benefited from tax-free corporate benefits as part of the city's broader investigation into whether the Trump Organization skirted its tax obligations. According to The Wall Street Journal, which interviewed several unnamed sources, the inquiry is centered on Matthew Calamari, who started working for Trump back in 1981 and now holds a position as a top executive at the Trump Organization. In his 2004 book "Trump: How to Get Rich," the former president claimed that Calamari, then his bodyguard, "had a lot more to offer than his job title warranted." Calamari would be promoted to Chief Operating Officer years later. Calamari reportedly lives in an apartment at Trump Park Avenue and drives a Mercedes leased through the Trump Organization. His son, Matthew Calamari, Jr., currently resides in another Trump-affiliated luxury apartment called Trump Parc East, where his rent is subsidized by the Trump Organization. The young Calamari graduated from college in 2011 and was promoted to corporate director of security six years later. New York prosecutors have reportedly instructed both Calamaris to retain legal services. Trump's former bodyguard becomes latest from Trumpworld entangled by Manhattan DA's probe | Salon.com

Jesus tap dancing christ..... there is a vast vast difference between thinking a guy has potential enough to be a decent backup and expecting the kid to be one of the next BLM. Personally I really like his skillset and he showed very well in preseason so I am hopeful he can become a guy who can play. Streveler was nothing before he got his shot, why can't Mcguire do that too?
