BC has sent rapid response paramedics to Ft. St James to back up local paramedics due to surging demand.

Looks like their primary job will be to transport COVID patients out of town (they only have one small medical facility) and back up local paramedics who are facing burn out.

Population of the town is 1,500 with at least 60 cases.

I don't think the restrictions are working very well.

28 deaths, 26 of them in LTC facilities.

So Canada starts jabbing a week after the UK. Not so bad after all then eh?

Wake me when they start offering to the general public. April or May from the looks of it at least in BC.

That warning is with every medication.
There were two reactions among the volunteers for the vaccine. Both were allergic subjects and carried epipens.

Update on the BC woman who had an emergency C-section while suffering complications from COVID, is still in the ICU and unconscious, a little over a month now.

Baby is doing well at home, gained a pound since leaving the hospital last month.

I think bats was simply pointing out (for those that maybe didn't read the article or heard about the reaction from some other source) that the reaction was nothing to panic about.

My stepdaughter has two days of pain in her arm every flu shot. One could easily describe that as a significant reaction and be put off. I mean, it's significant to her but it's not at the extreme level of those carrying epipens.

The two days of pain - to the point there's little she can do - doesn't put her off the flu shot and it won't put her off this one. But there's no doubt it's a significant reaction. bats just gave it some proper context.

I don't know what is going on in the interior but it's a little concerning and bulk of the cases this week appear to be mostly around Kelowna.


"Interior Health's numbers continue a trend over the last four weeks, where the rate of infection in the smaller health region is outpacing Vancouver Coastal and Fraser Health."

Went to Wal-Mart this morning, they updated the sign on the door, their capacity is now 1,200 people, and they have put up little fences to separate the entrance and exit. No line this morning to get in though, wasn't busy. Previously the capacity sign said 2,400.

UPS shared some photos of vaccine being prepared to ship from Germany to Canada.

I guess this in part explains the problem with spread in Kelowna.

I wish there was a 'shakes head' version to counter this one
