Toss up for me between Oliveira and Wolitarski... Gonna go with Drew Wolitarski for this week.

I'm pretty sure the concourses are considered "indoor" as well, especially the upper decks, along with the ramps and stairwells. I'm planning to wear mine the whole time either way.

I know there are some people here in MB who think we should be moving quicker like AB, but I REALLY hope that we don't. It may be overly cautious, but I'm ok with that. I played Ultimate on Tuesday and I may have been the only person on any of the fields wearing a mask, but I wasn't going to take any chances with being that close to people I don't know.

Well nobody was catching Australia in that one, so nothing wrong with the Silver.

I like that comparison a lot, and I see a lot of parallels with the vaccine in the way that you have described it. To further the comment about underlying issue, I would give specific examples like stress, sitting for too long, repetitive strain injuries.

I agree that the Darwin Wave is still an appropriate name. People like us with kids under 12 are still making the kids wear masks, and limiting their exposure as much as possible which reduces their risk. Still concerning for sure.

I believe so. Everything that I've seen referencing proof of vaccination has also said that it has to match your ID. It kinda makes sense, otherwise people could get away with fake QR codes.

Do they actually work though?

Yeah, going to the game is a tough one, and will feel very strange. I'm going to be there, and I will wear my mask for the whole thing, whether it is required or not.

I heard that they expect the vaccine approvals to be done by the end of September, so they could be getting vaccinated as early as October... here's hoping...

My concern is for the kids who can't get vaccinated yet. I have an 8 year old, and until she is vaccinated I'm still a little uncomfortable with loosened restrictions. Specifically anything to do with masks and distancing.

There was something on Twitter about 1 of the Sask players having tested positive, but it turned out to be a false-positive. Also, 10 out of 6000 is a TPR of 0.17%, so overall, not too bad.

I feel like that appeal should be thrown out pretty quick though because they (or someone associated with them) caused the incident. That's basically saying "we are appealing because the judge didn't give in to our intimidation which makes the result of the trial unfair". If anything, they should get a harsher punishment because of it.

If vaccines are against nature, then so are TV transmissions, and frankly pretty much everything people do... but if they want to be the group to volunteer to be wiped out by nature, who are we to stop them?

You'd think that Ed Tait might have known that... wouldn't you?

My wife likes to say that yeahbuts live in the forest..

What is the Immunization Verifier app called (for Android)? I've searched for it and there are a number of options but I'm not sure which is the real one.

Take a screenshot of each so you just have to bring up the pictures, rather than logging in to each account when you need it.

My son went in there this morning, appointment was for 8:30 and he didn't get in for his shot until 9:45. They were a bit disorganized, and there might have been a doctor who didn't show up this morning which could have caused the problems. Either way, both of my 12+ kids now have both vaccines so we're as protected as we can be.

Thanks for this, was able to move an appointment up from the 12th to tomorrow for one of my kids.

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.

My wife spent time on the booking website refreshing over and over until a cancellation opened up a spot. It takes time, but hearing a few people have done it that way.

Per the vaccine eligibility website: Information about Second Doses It is recommended that people receive the same mRNA vaccine (Pfizer or Moderna) for their 1st and 2nd doses where possible. However, these vaccines are considered equivalent, and both are safe and effective. When the same vaccine is not readily available, you can book an appointment for either Pfizer or Moderna as the 2nd dose. Individuals can also choose to book the earliest vaccine available to them for their 2nd dose. You do not have to wait to receive the same brand of vaccine as your 1st dose.

Except for children 12-17, which we kinda knew from what was said yesterday. Tried booking my kids in on the off chance that I could, but the system wouldn't let me.

I got mine 2 days after becoming eligible at Pure Lifestyle clinic: https://www.purewinnipeg.com/covid-19-vaccination-clinic Looks like they are currently waiting on a new shipment of vaccines from the province, but might be a place to watch when the new shipment of Moderna comes in next week.
