Super Duper Negatron

I get more angry the more I think about it. The entire second half of the press conference was basically the government setting the stage to blame Manitobans when this doesn't work. It is the reason the only meaningful change was to personal gatherings, but I can still have lunch with friends at a restaurant.

The new restrictions are dumb. No visitors to your own house, but everything else is basically the same. Having someone over for a backyard fire = bad. Going to a gym that is 25% full = fine, apparently. Half measures basically guarantee we prolong this wave until more restrictions get added in a couple weeks.

There it is. Blaming Manitobans.

That's a good point. Have we seen a cases vs. hospitalizations comparison over time to show that?

Well that was a fun night. Feels like a bad hangover right now. @FrostyWinnipeg described my symptoms exactly, right down to the timing.

Good plan to target fully vaccinating high risk areas.

The deed is done. Now to wait for my superpowers.

Covid means planning is hard, if not impossible. This is at least a target to shoot for in order to get all the stakeholders on the same page, which is more than we had yesterday.

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

Yeah, not worried about clots. Just worried about getting a vaccine that might be useless against the variant du jour when compared to alternatives. It is hard to get any reliable data on that...

Any concerns about the doubts of the AZ vaccine efficacy vs. the variants? That is the only reason I am hesitating right now...

It is amazing how little the leadership of this league seems to understand their customer. Lose the diehard CFL fans and gain zero NFL fans. Great plan.

Honestly, so sad. Don't blame this on covid. Blame it on bad leadership.

What is the deal with them mulling over an outdoor mask mandate? All the science I have read pegs outdoor transmission as a very low risk, unless that has changed with the variants? For example: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/risk-of-covid-19-transmission-outdoors-explained-1.5981935

LOL at signing players out of the "now defunct XFL", our future partner.

More vaccines is pointless if the government can't figure out how to administer them quickly. 3 hour waits for a 10 minute appointment is ridiculous.

That is the coolest thing about curling, that as a recreational player any given day you could practice next to, or even play against, the best in the world.

That's incredible if true.

Watched part of an XFL documentary on TSN about the first failed attempt to get that league off the ground. It looks gross. If we truly are going to be aligned with them I hope it looks nothing like the hype machine and amateur hour personalities surrounding that first attempt.

Can't tell if you were joking or not, but here is why I don't: everything else shutdown except school, and the numbers dropped.

They will lose the diehards in order to try to gain a segment of fans that will never settle for less than the NFL. This will never work. What?

Probably my pessimistic nature but I expect the opposite. A hesitancy from those that will take lessons learned from COVID and will want to avoid crowds in general going forward, the absence of going to movies/shows/sporting events causing people to say "I was fine without it, maybe I can save my money", etc.

The XFL saying their 2022 season is on hold pending the results of these talks means Ambrosie is full of ****.

And to add, who the **** cares what June Jones has to say about the CFL? Jesus.
