Seraphim Posted June 20, 2021 Author Share Posted June 20, 2021 We have come out of the third wave here thankfully and dropped from almost 5000 new cases a day in the province down to 355 a day. Our vaccine program has taken off as well. Link to comment

Some people still had masks on. Most retail and groceries still require masks which is fine with me. I will wear mine inside stores and when I might be around lots of people. Link to comment

Here in Ontario we only started in phase 1 of our endless phase open one week ago. We might not be fully open until the Fall. Link to comment
Seraphim Posted June 26, 2021 Author Share Posted June 26, 2021 Fully vaccinated as of today! 2 Link to comment

I think this would be a bit strange, after all we've just gotten used to living life at home during quarantine and now we're allow to go out. I can't even remember the things I did before covid. 🤣 Not yet but I had huge side effects with my first shot . I was sick for about 3 days. My first shot was AstraZeneca, my second was Pfizer. We will see if mixing the vaccines makes it worse side effect wise. Where I am we’re still pretty locked down but freedom it’s coming, some day. 😒 Link to comment
Seraphim Posted June 27, 2021 Author Share Posted June 27, 2021 21 minutes ago, hoshi said: Hmm. I got both Pfizer. The side effect I got for it is a fever and a headache but it went away. Did anyone said it's okay to mix it? I never seen anyone got different ones. This is being done as a matter of course in Canada because they want to get rid of AstraZeneca, so if you got it for your first dose you are most likely getting an MRna for your second. 1 Link to comment
Seraphim Posted July 9, 2021 Author Share Posted July 9, 2021 We are going to stage 3 opening 5 days early ! Link to comment
Seraphim Posted July 14, 2021 Author Share Posted July 14, 2021 Our province goes to stage 3 opening this Friday. I am expecting too they will open the border with the US on the 22 but no unvaccinated people, only fully vaccinated and a negative Covid test. Link to comment
Fudgie Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 I anticipate a border opening as well. I'm planning a trip for August. I'm fully vaccinated and I can get a test easily before crossing; my insurance covers all that jazz in full and I'll get the results electronically. Fingers crossed. 1 Link to comment

It is still too inconvenient for day trips because you need a Covid test leaving and coming back. Yeah, nah. Link to comment

I will have to check as the time gets closer but I believe I only need a COVID test prior to admittance to Canada but I don't need a test to get back home over the border. Keep in mind, I'm using land crossing, NOT air travel. For Canadians though, yeah, a test both ways, which sucks. Link to comment
Seraphim Posted July 14, 2021 Author Share Posted July 14, 2021 It makes me want to roll my eyes because if I was negative earlier in the day I probably am later in the day. Link to comment

Yeah, even if you were exposed that very day you wouldn't test positive for at least a few days. To me it's like businesses and workplaces that exclaim "We do temperature checks! We have HAND SANITIZER!" Neither of which do anything to prevent the spread. It just makes people feel safer, I guess. I am glad to hear things are getting better in your area, @Seraphim . My state (and most of the US) is having a post reopening big surge but it's almost exclusively the unvaccinated who are getting sick and are hospitalized. Link to comment

Yeah, we are down to about 150 cases a day in the province from 4800 a day in March. We have been locked up literally forever. We are fully vaccinated and my son has his first dose, most of my family now is fully vaccinated. Link to comment
boltnrun Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Indoor mask mandate is reinstated effective Saturday in my area. Too many unvaccinated people parading around inside shops and restaurants maskless and spreading the delta variant. I already wear mine indoors (well, not at home) so no big deal to me to wear it. But it's not so great that the cases are going back up. Link to comment

The very same people who refuse to get vaccinated also refuse to wear masks indoors. They are the ones spreading it but expect the government to do nothing about it in the name of "freedom". I honestly wouldn't care if they were just spreading it to each other but they're causing yet another crisis for health care workers. I think after this surge things will settle down again in about a month. In the meantime lots of unvaccinated people will get sick and die. A real shame. Link to comment
Seraphim Posted July 17, 2021 Author Share Posted July 17, 2021 The other day our Prime Minister was saying most likely Americans that are fully vaccinated can visit mid August. Link to comment

I wonder if that will change due to the fact that all 50 states are seeing a huge surge in cases. Even with some fully vaccinated people. I for one will not travel anywhere unless and until this surge is under control. Link to comment

I am expecting we will see a fourth wave as now all provinces have vastly removed a lot of restrictions. They are expecting it this Fall. However, this will be with us forever so we just need to keep moving. Link to comment
