Likely the same in most countries, I suspect regular folk may not see it until 2022.

Sorry. I posted a political comment that could take this thread off topic. I thought this was the US 2020 election thread. Apologies.

Porter has extended its suspension until February. They suspended service in March due to COVID, and have extended it several times, if they do indeed fly again in February they will have been grounded for almost 1 year.

it is so sad to see the planes just lined up along R24. I can see them from my work desk.

It is indeed, and all the jobs lost.

My old workplace is still management only, they have gained a couple fights back, but they are still like 95% less vs normal.

How many of those cases have caused people to go to hospital or resulted in their death? To me, those are the important numbers.

I'm not trying to downplay the seriousness of the virus, but my brother in law lives in Brampton Ontario, and has somehow caught COVID. He is 49, tall and skinny, fit as a fiddle and said the worst thing about it is not being able to taste or smell. He had a high temperature for 2 days and felt run down but otherwise he said things were OK. Fingers crossed he makes a full recovery and there are no issues later on in life. That is my main worry right now.

My sister's husband is a year or 2 younger than 49, but he had the opposite experience of your BIL, but mine isn't fit as a fiddle so I am sure that played a role. 5 days in hospital, a couple weeks on oxygen, basically sick most of October, and still not back to full normal, and potentially has permanent lung damage.

Now my sister though, she never tested positive or showed symptoms, but did have antibodies, so the theory public health has, is my sister was asymptomatic and spreading it.

Last update in BC was Saturday at 1pm, today's update was 998 new cases, 133 hospitalizations, and 5 deaths. Hospitalizations are up around 30 since Saturday.

737 are in Fraser Health and 210 are in Vancouver Coastal Health.

Hospitalizations highest since April 13 and ICU admissions highest since April 23.

How's the vaccination for 'stupid' coming along?
Seems much of the foregoing can be attributed to this human malaise......

What i'd like to know is where the vaccine for the type of stupidity that seems to be pervase in China that gets this crap out into the world. Because if there was such a thing, we wouldn't be in this mess.

And how is China getting along these days? We seem to be getting little to no information on the news about China and the virus, it's like they do not have it and are carrying on as normal while the rest of the world ponders how long the next lock down should be.

Fair point. Even if they report that everything is fine I am reluctant to believe them. They are not above lying to other countries to save face.

Hospitalizations up 50% in BC vs 1 week ago.
