HardCoreBlue Posted December 22, 2021 Report Share Posted December 22, 2021 I wish the news media, you know journalists, would stop sugar coating things and do their damn job of finding out what’s really going on in whatever they are investigating no matter what side of the political spectrum they’re reporting on. Latest example Rachel Thomas Tory MP ‘touts false information about Covid-19 vaccines, wants unvaccinated to be respected, appreciated in the community’. No, Rachel Thomas is using a confirmed lie to push an agenda that has nothing to do with let’s be kind to one another regardless of vaccination status. Dig deeper journalists, find the true motive and start calling it what it is. Sheesh. Mark H., JCon and WildPath 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bustamente Posted December 22, 2021 Report Share Posted December 22, 2021 (edited) Lots of restaurants in the city are being proactive and closing as staff have the virus or have come into close contact with someone who has the virus, is a lockdown around the corner Edited December 22, 2021 by bustamente Noeller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why does this not surprise me? For those of you that get free masks, check inside to see the production date. I believe there is information inside the box that says they expire a year from production date. I was fortunate to buy a box of N95's the day before news of Omicron broke. https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/canada/free-kn95-masks-in-many-manitoba-liquor-stores-go-quickly-some-masks-expired/ar-AAS5E2J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I've read on Omicron is that previous Covid infection does little to provide immunity. Pretty much everything I've read on Omicron strongly cautions that nothing is conclusive and further study is required though. Noeller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best to take precautions and see what happens. Noeller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noeller Posted December 23, 2021 Report Share Posted December 23, 2021 so just out of curiosity, what are you folks doing in terms of Christmas gatherings? Aare you cancelling everything altogether, and staying within your own household? Limited gatherings outside household? No change at all? Just curious how others are approaching Omicron and Christmas... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
