They're not going to quarantine the pickers from Quebec, at least not yet.
https://www.oliverchronicle.com/no-q...fruit-pickers/ What attracts Quebec folks to these jobs? The times I have seen ads in the lower mainland, the pay doesn't seem great. My body is old and sore and I probably wouldn't last an hour doing it. |

People in the lower mainland seem to be getting less patient, more people out and about, more traffic, some businesses that had closed have reopened.
My daughter went to see a house that's for sale in Vancouver, there were 60 showings scheduled for the weekend. That'd be a house with flat surfaces and 120 people sneezing on them. |

Quebec youth have been coming to BC for fruit picking well before COVID so its not necessity, they could easily get a job closer to home most years that likely pays better. |

Just shows that if you have only limited cases in the first place, a strict lock down and closed borders works.....the virus has no where to go, so it just dies off, and of course if people tow the line and don't start protesting about rights and freedoms and all the rest of that rubbish.

Re: Coronavirus
With the increasing likelihood that we'll have to wear face masks in public soon, people may be wondering where they can get them from.
Amazon has proved unreliable with sellers disappearing - although your money is safe. But Walmart.ca is advertising them on-line from third party sellers. Maybe that will prove more successful. |

I went shopping on March 18th. Blood test on April 1st was the only time I went out since. 6 weeks tomorrow. Compulsory to wear masks in the hospitals in NB now but they'll be giving you one upon entry. |

Top tip: When shifting perspectives, throughly wash your adult entertainments. The casual wipe on the pillow is not sufficient "in these times."

Re: Coronavirus
New information released today about the virus.
NHS England has recommended health trusts assess Black, Asian and ethnic minority (BAME) workers as "at potentially greater risk" from coronavirus. The official guidance says UK and international data indicates "people from BAME backgrounds are also being disproportionately affected by COVID-19". https://news.sky.com/story/coronavir...-risk-11980713 But for some reason India has got off lightly? it doesn't make any sense whatsoever. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-52435463 |
