They must have opened up a bunch of spaces at RBC, when it went to 24+ earlier in the week they were booking as far as the 28th. The earliest my son could book was the 22nd in Selkirk.

It is a legit warning and is required. I have some American friends east of the Mississippi that are worried about shortages because of the Ransomware Attack on the Colonial Pipeline. One of them shared a pic of a local WAWA station where a guy was filling large plastic garbage cans lined with garbage bags with gas.

I believe you can walk up to some of them but if you want an appointment call them number and talk to someone. They can look for available slots for you without cancelling your existing, online you have to cancel the existing before searching for other dates.

Likely all tied to number of tests completed. Saturday 4234 Sunday 3787 Monday 2920

My 24yr just booked his first dose in Selkirk on May 22nd.

Now that you mention it this does seem plausible, it would go along with the rapid dropping of age eligibility. They really do have a messaging problem and have throughout the pandemic. For instance today I was having a conversation with one of the before and after school staff that I have had before. There is a bit of a prevailing attitude that the government has ignored them and left them out to dry. I reminded them that the government continues to provide full funding to the centre despite us operating at 50%,that they have all been fully paid during the shut downs unless they asked for the time off. In response to “we should have been a higher prior for vaccines” I ask if any one has been sick with COVID and suggest that the fact they we were not included as a high risk zone as a complement and evidence that they have done an amazing job keeping everyone safe.

Here is my take, likely not the most popular opinion but is based on my observations at a couple school yards and parks that I pass through daily. In school / daycare isn’t a major concern as it is. Young kids with full supervision tend to obey the rules and sanitize regularly. Transmission is happening in older years because kids hang out. Around school, at the park anywhere they can. Always unsupervised, often massless and certainly social distant as the suck face on the picnic table. In many ways it seems that this full closure was done just to appease all the people asking and demanding that they do something. It won’t really do anything to bend the curve back down, we’ll see a decrease in cases mostly from more and more people getting vaccinated. I expect MB will do the same no later than Friday.

As the parent of a grade 3 student I am torn on this decisions. He didn’t suffer academically last year during remote learning but the social struggle and isolation was very hard on him I am just hoping that in 3 weeks we are sending him back to school and he gets to reconnect sooner than last year. As one of the board members of a before and after school program I am not excited about the flurry of parent inquiries over the next couple of days. Thankfully the centre is allowed to be open and all our staff will be able to be paid. I am thankful that we have pre-planned what parents classify as critical and whose kids will still attend.

Manitoba announced they will start booking 2nd dose appointments May 22 they day after all residents age 12+ become eligible to book. Appointments won’t begin immediately but will run concurrently with first dose appointments. Priority list will be released later but all immuno compromised will be near the top. All second doses should be complete by end of July.

I suspect they realized it can’t be done in a day and will be announced next week. I hope as someone said Elementary stays in person and all other go remote. Although I. Not really convinced it does anything. Make this kids remote and they will gather and socialize more...

Who would you consider proper leadership? I'm just wondering as I can't think of any on the municipal, provincial or federal level that I would like to hand the reigns too. I am beginning to think that The Visitors might be our only hope at this point.

I was working next to a McD’s in Thunder Bat in 95, they still had the pizza there after it left MB. I used to get it quite often, nothing like pizza with a side of fries.

I think it’s going to be the McRib... Anyone remember when Wendy’s usually starts the $0.99 Frosty promo?

This isn't 100% true. One of his supporters posted a video on Youtube last night of him being served two tickets by plain clothed officers after the rally at The Forks. I will see if I can find a link again. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SoKQESCvBk8

Out of curiousity do you anything to cover or protect your eyes?

Far too many skeletons in my closet to enter politics. Got my Jab this morning, was very disappointed the pharmacist didn't have any stickers...

There was plenty of time to do something about this before it got to the size it did. The lack of proactive enforcement is just disturbing. There should have been a team of people that greeted Chris Sky at the airport and escorted him to an isolation facility. There could have been a couple cruisers on the lawn at The Forks broadcasting the message that it was an illegal gathering and to disperse or be ticketed. Child and Family Services should have been on site handing out notices to parents that their parental competency was not under official review. I have been very quiet and purposely not criticized the experts as I know they have information we don't. I can no longer sit here and watch people destroy what chance we had at a normal summer.

That is great to here. Early last week Dr Joss Reimer was tweeting that they still had appointments for that same afternoon, pleading for people to call and make appointment. I am greatly embarrassed to be from Winnipeg for the first time in many many years. I like the enthusiasm and public shaming may be the answer but for these idiots they would wear it as a badge of pride. Oh how I wish that somoene started a grass fire and the fire department had to show up and hose the all down...

None. Glad to see you booked one. I believe it was the opposite. Oxford university conducted studies on all ages and in England had a higher proportion of elderly in their studies. As has been said just about all have near 100% efficacy against severe illness or death. Give me whatever jab I can get as soon as I can get it. That is AZ on Monday.

Was so disgusted with the first period I decided to take the dog for a walk. Quite enjoyed Paul Edmonds call of the second period.

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.

Winnipeg has its own share of Covidiots too. Two videos circulating of incidents of a couple attending a Canadian Tire and a Home Depot without masks. https://www.reddit.com/r/Winnipeg/comments/mkabrc/anti_masker_at_home_depot_polo_park_gets_taken/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf https://www.reddit.com/r/Winnipeg/comments/mk8ae8/anti_maskers_in_grant_park_canadian_tire_being/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

Seems to me that Ehlers has been pretty quiet this week. I feeling that changes tonight.

I can’t remember where I heard it but I am pretty sure I heard that the Flames have been shorthanded more than any other team in the league. Dirty or poor discipline? I’ll let you decide.
