Wanna-B-Fanboy Posted April 17, 2021 Report Posted April 17, 2021 4 hours ago, the watcher said: Ontario is sure going into a hard lockdown. Some people are questioning the power they have given the police to enforce it but their hospital situation is desperate. I just wish that were stopping traffic going out as well as in. There's no way Manitoba dodges this. Get ready. By the way I read about a variant of the Brazilian variant that has shown up in Brazil. The big noticble difference is it also seems to be hitting children as well. Its also hits mildly to start then after 10 or 12 days hits very hard. Sorry I have no link as I can't remember where I read it. Maybe the Guardian. this? https://abc7chicago.com/covid-chidlren-variant-coroanvirus-coronavirus-vaccine/10486843/ "Osterholm previously supported sending children back to school. He said the virus was not a major threat to children. Now, the situation has changed. "Please understand, this B.1.1.7 variant is a brand new ball game," Osterholm said on NBC's Meet the Press. "It infects kids very readily. Unlike previous strains of the virus, we didn't see children under 8th grade get infected often or they were not frequently very ill, they didn't transmit to the rest of the community." Tracker 1

B117 is the UK variant I believe....definitely dangerous for all ages. Not AS bad as Brazilian variant (P1) but still really bad...really contagious. Wanna-B-Fanboy and JCon 1 1

blue_gold_84 Posted April 19, 2021 Report Posted April 19, 2021 https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/pimicikamak-cross-lake-cree-nation-shares-vaccine-doses-teachers-front-line-workers-1.5992729 Quote In Thompson, Man., almost every teacher is now at least partially vaccinated against COVID-19 after a nearby First Nation shared hundreds of extra doses with people outside the community last week. Educators and front-line workers, including police officers, were among those surprised with a chance to get immunized when Pimicikamak, also known as Cross Lake Cree Nation, ran a four-day vaccine clinic to dole out a stockpile of extra doses, Chief David Monias said. By the time the clinic wrapped on Saturday, 850 people had been vaccinated — including 180 teachers. Pretty awesome news! Bigblue204, rebusrankin, Noeller and 2 others 3 2

Noeller Posted April 19, 2021 Report Posted April 19, 2021 it's really starting to speed up now...more and more Canadians becoming eligible every week, it seems. And there'll be more vaccine brands coming on market soon, too. The JJ 1-shot is going to make a huge difference once it starts arriving... JCon 1

Noeller Posted April 19, 2021 Report Posted April 19, 2021 I've got an appointment for Moderna/Pfizer on Saturday night, but if I can get a AZ jab prior to that, I'll likely take it.... Alberta doesn't start taking 40+ appts till tomorrow morning so we'll see how it goes. GCJenks 1

Super Duper Negatron Posted April 19, 2021 Report Posted April 19, 2021 Any concerns about the doubts of the AZ vaccine efficacy vs. the variants? That is the only reason I am hesitating right now...
bustamente Posted April 19, 2021 Report Posted April 19, 2021 It sounds like people are taking advantage of the new criteria, good get as many jabs as possible into arms as fast as possible Noeller and GCJenks 2
