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.

I believe that they have only been expanding the eligibility every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

I never quite trust the Monday numbers because testing seems to go down on weekends.  The Tuesday numbers are usually more consistent with the rest of the week.

oh well then that means I can book it on wednesday or friday because today's expansion is pretty close to when I got my first)

While it's nice that the cases are trending down don't worry about them this virus is going to be around for some time in various forms, watch the tpr and watch the hospital rates especially the icu numbers, people will continue to catch the virus for some reason or another but if they don't require hospitalization or die from it they this virus will be said to be contained.

At some point those numbers are gonna "fall off a cliff" so to speak. Between vaccines and mitigation measures, it's gonna freefall... 

In a race between vaccinations, case counts and the delta variant. Hopefully, we can win that race here in Manitoba.

2nd shot done. Just sitting here, soaking up the magnetic fields.

Has the 5G kicked in yet? I've heard raising your arm that got the poke helps increase the range.

I opened the utensil drawer and was almost stabbed to death with all the knives that flew out at me. Magnets are no joke. I still have a spoon lodged in my ear. 

 

 55 cases in the Winnipeg area, if this holds up in the next weeks expect the tpr to start declining pretty quickly, active cases under 3k, unfortunately the icu count is going up

Edited June 15, 20214 yr by bustamente

we could be under 100 cases by the end of the week

the daily case count is your leading indicator...unfortunately the hospitalizations and ICU admissions is a lagging indicator, so those will take some time to come down. For now, definitely celebrate the declining daily case counts and corresponding downward TP%..... Things are trending very nicely for 'Toba!

Just sitting and chilling out here in the 15 minute wait area after getting my second shot.

 

Feels good.

I crushed some edibles before my second shot too. Heard it was the only way to confuse the microchips. If I have no clue where I am, they can't track me.

Three more Manitobans who had been receiving critical care at Ontario hospitals have died, a Shared Health spokesperson said on Tuesday 😭

Fines are not going to prevent further violations- all the pastor or pastors will do is squeeze the parishioners a little harder while wringing their hands as they complain about being persecuted for "Jesus' sake". Send them to jail. I hear Milner Ridge is nice this time of year.

And treat them like any other business and what that comes along with.  

really, well looks like I'm booking my second dose this week no matter what

 

So glad to be 5G capable, which will help a ton at the lake! Anyone else who got the Pfizer second dose dealing with a pretty sore shoulder/arm the next day? Mine is considerably more tender than the first dose but I'm feeling great otherwise (Tylenol trick works wonders).

Sore arm but not worse than the AZ shot. I had a some mild flu like symptoms earlier this morning but only lasted a few minutes. Otherwise, a little tired but completely fine.

I arm was pretty sore.  My parents' on the other hand - no tenderness or flu symptoms whatsoever.

I assumed this was gonna happen, so I booked mine yesterday!

I had zero ill effects from my shot on Sunday. The waifu had some pretty strong chills that night and a sore arm for a couple of days.
