JCon Posted April 8, 2021 Author Report Posted April 8, 2021 Does anyone know how far out they're booking appointments at the super sites now?
Tracker Posted April 8, 2021 Report Posted April 8, 2021 Quote It seems that an increase in the variant infections, and a sharp increase at that, is pretty much inevitable here. How bad it gets is the only question.
FrostyWinnipeg Posted April 8, 2021 Report Posted April 8, 2021 My simple solution. Shut it all down for 2 weeks and we're good. Don;t know why they dont do that. Bigblue204 1

Not sure about how far out, but my mom just became eligible yesterday...either phoned or went online....and got the jab same day at Selkirk. I am amazed it happened that quickly. Also got my step-dad in for the 20th. Extremely thankful for this. Bigblue204 and JCon 2

Seems like Winnipeg is about 3 weeks. Rural sites much less. Have a cousin in Carman that became eligible yesterday called and had an appointment in 40 minutes. Had to get in the car and hustle.

bustamente Posted April 9, 2021 Report Posted April 9, 2021 I see another lockdown on the horizon, don't think that there is an appetite for it but so few have been vaccinated, the variants are becoming the main strain and cases are starting to go up which means the hospitals will fill up again Wanna-B-Fanboy and Tracker 2

As long as the ICU numbers remain lower, they won't lock anything further down. Then, when it's really bad, they'll wag their fingers again and shut things down.
Mark H. Posted April 9, 2021 Report Posted April 9, 2021 We can't really tell a whole lot from the daily numbers. There is still a high number of cases from the north, so my first question is: are they still going into communities and testing everyone? Because with out the north, cases are under 100 today.
the watcher Posted April 9, 2021 Report Posted April 9, 2021 The big problem I see out here in the sticks is that the anti-maskers have been emboldened. Buisnesses aren't enforcing their policies partly because of a lack of support from city/town councils and therefore local police as well. They are all, afraid of upsetting the fundamentalist church crowd. When the 3rd wave hits it will come from the Southern part of the province. My shot on Sunday can't come soon enough.
