Vaxxed players getting back to normal, nonvaxxed gotta go through the hoops etc etc... NFL teams have the facilities and money to accommodate those extra hoops though. I'm sure Adams would also like to have the same salary cap as the NFL but that's not going to happen either. Noeller and Bigblue204 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rebusrankin Posted June 27, 2021 Report Share Posted June 27, 2021 I more frustrated with Winkler's Mayor and their MLA Friessen making excuses for their low vax rates. 15% lower than the rest of the province is a joke. Heck Downtown Winnipeg an area with plenty of people who are transient or face other barriers has a much higher vax rate. IMO those jerks need to be called out and shamed. the watcher, Noeller and WildPath 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck Downtown Winnipeg an area with plenty of people who are transient or face other barriers has a much higher vax rate. IMO those jerks need to be called out and shamed. So 6 months ago or so my wife asked the Winkler Super Store manager why he was letting people in without masks and not dealing with them according to the rules. His answer was because if he called the Police they wouldn't come because the city council told them not to respond to those requests. Take that with a grain of salt because the guy is generally non compliant and it easily could have been BS. Or not. There were and are other buisnesses in town that rigidly enforce mask policy and I don't believe they have lost many customers. We among many, many others now limit our business in that community. I go when I have to and only to places that have at least attempted to follow the rules. Probably less than 1/4 of what we use to. On OB 68 Winklers mayor said Stanley was at %17. So when I think I need to go there I'll just remind myself that if I walk by 10 people not even 2 of them are vaccinated. F-ing awful.

Tracker Posted June 28, 2021 Report Share Posted June 28, 2021 Dire warnings as COVID Delta variant runs rampant in unvaccinated Missouri First detected in India and now present in at least 80 countries across the globe, the ultra-contagious Delta variant of Covid-19 is now running rampant through communities in the United States, with the most devastating impacts occurring in areas with low vaccination rates. Missouri—where less than half of the population over the age of 18 has been fully inoculated—has emerged as the U.S. hot spot for the Delta strain, which officials say is fueling the alarming surge in coronavirus infections and hospitalizations that the state has experienced in recent weeks even as cases decline in the U.S. as a whole. Missouri currently has the highest rate of new Covid-19 infections in the country. Dire warnings as COVID Delta variant runs rampant in unvaccinated Missouri - Alternet.org Josh Hawley demands Canada be added to religious freedom watch list In Alberta, Canada, some pastors were arrested after openly defying COVID-19 restriction, and Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri is claiming that the pastors, James Coates and Tim Stephens, were victims of religious persecution and is asking the Commission on International Religious Freedom to consider placing Canada on a special watch list. In a letter sent on June 26, the far-right GOP senator wrote, "I am troubled that our Canadian neighbors are effectively being forced to gather in secret, undisclosed locations to exercise their basic freedom to worship.

rebusrankin Posted June 28, 2021 Report Share Posted June 28, 2021 Southern Health is roughly 15% lower than Interlake, Northern and Prairie Mountain (54% instead of 69%) and 21% lower than Winnipeg which is over 75%. Even areas such as Downtown Winnipeg and Point Douglas where there are more transient populations or populations that may lack vehicles, net access or phones have much higher rates than Winkler, Morden and Stanley among others, in fact as the entire Southern region so no twisting speaking truthfully.

Colin Unger Posted June 28, 2021 Report Share Posted June 28, 2021 You're never going to see rural area having higher vaccine rates than urban areas. My hope is that Steinbach can reach 70% fully vaccinated which is alot better than most other areas of southern manitoba. Also better than pretty much any American state. I think Canada and Manitoba are going to end up being world leaders in vaccination rates. And that will be to our benefit as the last thing we need is another lock down. It's time to start enjoying life again. I find it funny that my anti Vax friends are all of a sudden worried about an extremely rare risk of complications. I tell them I'm getting vaccinated because I want to live my life and if it kills me it kills me. Same thing they've been saying about the virus but somehow they are now changing their mentality.

Their remarks are red meat for their dimbulb followers and them, alone. Secondly, there have been reports out of the US, that hundreds of thousands of doses of vaccine have been allowed to staledate themselves out of usefulness, and I suspect that there will be a lot more to come.
