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.

Thanks for the heads up! Was booked for Pfizer on July 2, but gladly moved it up a week for Moderna.

No after effects so far but I do fancy Melinda Gates.

Jinxed myself, hit me 17hrs later.

Got my second Moderna yesterday at 11... basically ran a fever all night, I'm burning up rn. Definitely a sick day. Be ready for some downtime folks...

A friend of mine had the same reaction when he got his second Moderna shot a couple weeks back. He was a double Moderna.

My family all got 2nd Moderna on May 15th and we were all sick for about a day and a half. 

extremely small price to pay....good on all of you for taking the first vaccine available. It's the right thing to do. 

It's time for the morons of the week

I’m not sure what I would do with a $100/month of weed but I am going to enter…

 

 

I can’t remember who the user is but operate some food trailers and now a stand at Riding Mtn.  Hopefully someone tags you or you have seen this. MB has re-opened the bridge grant program and is including seasonal businesses. Hopefully this gets you a little relief.

@CodyT

 

I'll be there next week!

I wonder if he'll do this slowly like by Province or something, oh but even if he does open the border, well.....it's kind of hard to read North Dakota's COVID Dashboard https://www.health.nd.gov/covid19vaccine/dashboard

Thank God!!  We seem to have passed the critical point where the number of new cases are well under 100. We can all breathe a little easier now.

Testing numbers are way down too. I won’t believe it until Thursday which often seems to be the highest day of the week. 

We need a week of low/declining TP numbers before we can declare that this horror is beaten as a pandemic. 

Seeing some vacancies at Walmart for Moderna appointments.

Might be best analogy for vaccine shopping

 

 

So... it looks like the delta variant is going to swamp the USA in a month.

muricans had their chance to get the shot so all those anti-vaxxers are on their own.

Except it will come here. Delta Plus - ARRRRRRRrrrrrrgh!

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.

For some reason I feel like this is going to be too much too fast and we'll be back to where we started again, my dad may be getting his second dose today but mine isn't coming for another month
