Re: Coronavirus
It's good to put signs up, even if it's old news. Having a cop on the Trans Canada and another on the #3 to scare tourists off might be better, but expensive. I'd target them; relay video of campers rolling in to units on the BC side then check them out and ticket the bejeesus out of anyone that shouldn't be there. The country's most lucrative stop check.

Looks like CBC wasn't fully accurate, appears anyone over 40+ if you can find a pharmacy with AZ can book an appointment with the pharmacy directly now.

Re: Coronavirus
Travel restrictions begin on Friday with police setting up random road blocks similiar to DUI check points.
Effective Friday no travel outside your health region will be permitted. (kind of makes no sense considering the Lower Mainland is comprised of 2 health regions Vancouver Coastal and Fraser Health, but someone in Burnaby can travel as far out as Boston Bar apparently but going from Vancouver to Burnaby or New West isn't permitted)
Keep those lower mainland Lepers away from the smaller cities/towns in Interior Health.

I registered with shoppers drug mart, but no appointments available at the moment, other pharmacies still have outdated information that its 55+ maybe once everything is updated will see, but at least I am registered at Shoppers and chose any location to widen my chances.

True that. When the law put a fence around Grace Life Church near Edmonton 2 weeks ago the parishioners weren't happy, but then last week protesters from all over Alberta converged on it. A restriction to keep them in their own health districts would have made them liable. A neighbour said none of the protesters were locals.

Re: Coronavirus
Starting tomorrow North Dakota will offer free vaccines to Manitoba truckers who transport goods across the border.
There is no cost to the truckers or Manitoba. US Government covers the cost of the vaccine and cost to administer it.

Re: Coronavirus
7 day rolling average continues downward.
483 people are in hospital, 164 of whom are in intensive care.
The travel rules and clarification on what is essential should be announced Friday.

Some hints on the travel restrictions. The lower mainland will be treated as one health region (it's actually 2 VCH and FH) and road blocks it sounds like will be at BC Ferry terminals, and somewhere near Hope mostly, and wont be widespread.

Very distressing.
It did seem logical that highly populated areas would be hot harder, I for one do not understand how it has been delayed, a new mutation? Why did the UK and the US get it so hard? Perhaps it is just a question of time before things even out.
