I'm starting this thread as a side discussion of all things Corona Virus related. I understand that this is going to be discussed in almost all other topic threads but we could collect news and other items here. 

 

At work, many conferences have been cancelled.

NBA - Suspended.

NHL - About to be suspended. 

NCAA March Madness - Playing - no crowd. 

 

Political Rallies have been cancelled. 

Travel bans. 

 

Rita Wilson and Tom Hanks tested positive. They're in Australia where testing is available. If they were in the US, they wouldn't have been tested. 

#restartmbv2

This time with less deaths...maybe...probably not.

I will say this - it's a much more cautious approach than either AB or SK took in their re-opening. Slowly phasing it in over the entire summer, rather than just flinging open the doors at the beginning and hoping for the best.

Looking at this from the Bombers perspective, 50% capacity by the start of the season (August 5th) if vaccination levels are met....it's not perfect, but it's something. 

F......

It's not a plan. It's a vague series of milestones that we would have hit anyhow. 

I nearly cried reading this tweet. Get that second dose in me now...........

 

for a second there I thought it was screwed up for a second straight day

What is unclear to you and give me an example of a tiered plan that doesn't rely on benchmarks or milestones. The fact that it is a Conservative plan is all you are bitching about. Give it a rest. We get it you don't like the PC party. This is as much a reopening plan as anything that's come out from other provinces.

There are zero ****in targets. Nothing around cases or hospitalizations.

I think it would be dangerous to build anything around solely those 2 parameters. The targets are there and are very clear, the targets in Manitoba will be 2 dose vaccination levels. Roussin and Pallister made it very clear that health care strain will be a determinant as well but if we meet the vaccination targets they are confident that health care strain won't be a factor. If we meet the vaccine goals and there is still massive health care strain then it is all for nought anyway because it means the vaccines are not effective.

Then they should be called "benchmarks".  This is certainly not a "plan" in any sense of the word.

Unless you drink the blue koolaid. Then is the bestest plan ever. 

Just saw the Pfizer CEO talking and he said they are hopping to get approval by the end of the year for a oral treatment for Covid-19. This will be probably the thing that gets us total back to normal.

I'm probably late to the party for knowing this, but now you can fill the consent forms online. they've added a check that would ask if you've had your first dose already

Thanks, I didn't know this. 

Definitely not a plan, but I think for good reason. It is very hard to put a clear and defined plan in place when there are so many variables and it really is a moving target. Lots may depend on the Delta variant or any other variants that could mess up the most thought out plan.

To be accurate, what it is is a rebranding of the restart/reinfect MB plan we've had in place since we "defeated" Covid last fall and spent money to attract tourism and large events. I wonder if that plan is officially retired now.

well that would be good news for those that actually did contract the virus

We need vaccines in arms, which is happening, and for everyone to stop the spread by limiting their contacts.

I'm proud of MBB for not making any jokes here.

Consent forms for what? Second dose?

Yes, we need to fill them out and bring them. But, I didn't realize that we could do it electronically.

I think that's a recent addition, considering that the old forms didn't have a checkmark where you can say if you've already had your first dose

A bunch of clean up done, for the obvious reason.  It would help if we didn't have numerous people quoting the inappropriate post.  

Team Pfizer shot #2 booked for Tuesday at 11am! Could not be more excited. F*** the Delta Variant and get that good juice in me!

Fantastic! I'm getting mine two hours earlier and two provinces over.
