Re: Coronavirus
The Moderna vaccines scheduled for next week are delayed until end of the month possibly first week of May.

Pfizer will continue at 1 million per week through May but is due to ramp up to 2 million per week in June.

Re: Coronavirus
This is going to be more akin to the flu shot - booster dose every year or so to reflect variants in effect. At least until enough of the world is vaccinated to reduce the prevalence of variants.

Re: Coronavirus
Last time I checked, only 1/3 of Canadians get the flu shot, I wonder if this number will increase if it includes protection from COVID?

Re: Coronavirus
Most years I didn't bother with flu shot as it cost $30-$40 but if free sign me up. Although last year I never did secure one, every appointment I made was cancelled due to no stock at the pharmacy come appointment day.

Re: Coronavirus
Seems people in Whistler are still hanging out in groups in close proximity to one another.

Re: Coronavirus
Frighteningly high. Ontario’s numbers have, until recently, always been very good in comparison to other countries. Now they are getting out of control. Hospital doctor friends said before Christmas, they were preparing for a second wave at the end of March. They were spot on, so yes the latest predictions are very worrisome.

Re: Coronavirus
The situation in Grey County, slightly north of here, is alarming. Everyone is asked to stay home for 48 hours while the authorities attempt contact tracing of recent cases; that process is difficult because people routinely lie to them.

I saw that on TV...extremely worrying how quickly it accelerated.
