Re: Coronavirus
In the UK stage 4 was the final stage and because of surging new cases was delayed. But now it's going ahead even though new cases have surged even more than the original surge that delayed it.
I was thinking stage 4a could have happened followed by 4b, but stage 4 with some bits added to a stage 5 to come would have worked too.

Most of Ontario is moving to Stage 3 a few days earlier than planned…next Friday 16 July. The exception is Waterloo because of the high Covid cases.

Edit: Stage 3 was supposed to be the last, but Stage 4 has now been added.

Re: Coronavirus
No I've not seen an official statement about stage 4. I'm basing it on, and I could be wrong, that there is no indication of how long stage 3 will last. We know we'll go to stage 3 on the 16th, but when will we come out of stage 3, and what will that look like? Back to pre-covid normality with all restrictions lifted? Something tells me that won't be the case,

Re: Coronavirus
The virus is so imbedded in the population and testing is so widespread this is no surprise .The good news is that the increase is not being replicated in hospitalisations or deaths. I do fear however for those who have completely shut themselves away as to how weakened their immune systems may have become though having had no exposure to every day bugs and germs for 18 months.
Anyone fancy a bet on whether BJ cancels the ending of restrictions on Monday? He’s damned if he does, and damned if he doesn’t.

Re: Coronavirus
It is a surprise and certainly very bad PR for the health secretary but to be fair the vaccine has never claimed it prevents you catching covid.

I wonder if they'll say which variant he has, and it remains to be seen how sick he gets. If something new takes off que sera, sera, (pardon my French).

Of the six households of people I have remained in touch with in the UK - 16 adults - only two people have had tests, one because he's part of a study and tests weekly and his wife after their live-away son returned home with covid.
I make no claims that they are representative but only 2 from 16 having had tests makes me think that everyone being recommended for regular testing doesn't necessarily translate to everyone being tested.

And then there are the potential variants that are likely to develop from the spread.

Re: Coronavirus
Shortly after Scotland played at Wembley there was a rise in cases in Scotland with two-thirds linked to travel to London that day.
I keep hearing of this widespread testing, people being encouraged to test regularly, symptoms or not.

is more representative of the UK situation or not but in my experience and as I said previously widespread testing in the UK is a fact.

Re: Coronavirus
I received my second Pfizer jab on Thursday and I was sick as a dog the day after. Serious case of 'man flu'.
Zero energy, zero appetite, felt cold but had a temperature. Fast forward to today, feeling 100% again now.
