How do you know you were positive?

Re: Coronavirus
 

My experience was the opposite was simple and easy for me to get tested, just required a phone call to the local facility, appointment made, tested, and results 24 hours later.

Re: Coronavirus
 

Bingo. It isn't just all that cheek kissing.

Really is tough on the teachers. I hope they recover quickly with no lingering symptoms.

In my area in north west France five recent clusters started up at the schools. :(

Re: Coronavirus
 

We are talking pubs here and no Northern pub would ever dream of serving creme brûlée. Bloody southern shandy drinkers its a bloody pub you know where you drink beer not serve fancy bloody desserts etc.

Re: Coronavirus
 

But....they do have brown sauce.......

Re: Coronavirus
 

...Pork pies?

Re: Coronavirus
 

I found a picture of FL having his last pint in a Northern pub to celebrate getting his visa for Canada.

'appy days, and not a creme brulee for 200 miles.

Re: Coronavirus
 

Haven't been uuup North for about 20 years, but from what I'm seeing on TV Covid reports of the city centres of Liverpool and Manchester, the times are a changin'. It's all starting to look quite flash. I have feeling it wouldb't be hard to find a creme burlee or maybe even a rocket salad in the local hostelries.

Re: Coronavirus
 

The first time I visited a particular dive pub in Liverpool I asked the barmaid for a bottle of champagne and two champagne glasses. Luckily over many visits in subsequent years she forgave me and we became good mates.

Same pub, I asked for a pint of lemonade. I got it, but it was the same price as a pint of lager.

And another pub, a more 'upmarket' one, I ordered two Irish coffees.

After a wait of about 10 minutes, 2 cups of black coffee were plonked down in front of me. When I started to protest, the bloke said 'it's coffee and the girl out the back who made them is Irish' :lol:

Re: Coronavirus
 

Not in the pubs, at least not in the ones I like to go to. But in the restaurants, sure.

Re: Coronavirus
 

Oh to take a trip back down memory lane and I am only talking 40 years ago and not a hundred like some people think when I started going into the local boozers in my town where I grew up. Anyone remember pubs having a Snug bar? The small room where women could have a drink as it was frowned upon having them in the main bar area. In those days would anyone approach Bill sat beside the fire with his whippet at his feet and tell him that his dog was a health and safety concern :lol:
Bottles of Mackeson or other similar stouts were on a table rather than a glass of some organic micro brewery concoction that you see today probably with a a few packs of Woodbine or Players No 10 by the ashtray. Knowing a few of the older landlords asking for a Mai Tai in those days would probably result in him taking his off and saying here have my tie. Cuba Libre oh you mean a Bacardi & coke. The dartboard mats used to have 2 oche lines marked out at 6' 6" and the newly invented 7' 91/4"
Want something to eat or snack on well choose your flavour of crisps, pork scratchings or pickled eggs and the really posh pubs had a warmer for pork pies. If you got hungry you went to the chippy probably a couple of doors away and ate whatever on the way back to the pub.
Bloody Millenials have no idea what they are missing and as for the Snowflakes well let's just say pubs should be out of bounds for that lot.

Re: Coronavirus
 

Your grandad probably called you a snowflake when you got an inside toilet.

Re: Coronavirus
 

One of my grandads houses never had an inside toilet until well after he died and I am talking about the late 1970's and he died in the 60's :lol:

Re: Coronavirus
 

One of his houses? And here's you letting on you were a street urchin... I bet your tin bath was solid silver.

Every Friday night, same time as Don Messer's Jubilee. The theme music (Till We Meet Again) and bath night are inseparable.

Re: Coronavirus
 

That's not so odd. My grandparents had no inside toilet until around1980.

The only toilet they had is on the left

821 New cases in Ontario.

In Hamilton, a Spin class created more than 70 new cases - including 6 staff members of a local restaurant my son used to be a manager at (1 staff member attended, passed it on to 5 others).

Re: Coronavirus
 

No surprise with the direction ON and Quebec are heading, and BC upticking slowly.



Australia, China, Japan, New Zealand, Rwanda, South Korea, Thailand, Uruguay and Singapore seem to be the only white list countries at the moment with the update, Canada, Tunisia and Georgia removed.

Re: Coronavirus
 

Well, we've been told haven't we.

Re: Coronavirus
 

First time BC has had over 200 cases in a single day, 203 to be exact.

Many cases being linked to linked to weddings, funerals and celebrations of life.

Re: Coronavirus
 

I know it's not a fair comparison, but did you see how many the UK got yesterday? :eek:

Re: Coronavirus
 

She has a point I guess.
Now that deaths are much lower the Gov can explain the risks, insist on mask wearing, and not go through a 2nd lockdown. God forbid, don't complain when you get into a car accident and need a hospital bed.

Re: Coronavirus
 

Or today ! Say 10% of 26,000, that's 2,600 on 6 MN people (about BC size).

Re: Coronavirus
 

I understand her late in life point, but in reality, a temporary lockdown is necessary to save lives. Virus is currently out 9f control. Thanks Boris.

Re: Coronavirus
 

We are doing better than 48 US states, only Maine and Vermont seem to be doing better, Quebec though, not doing so hot, Quebec is worse than 17 states now.

Re: Coronavirus
 

Yesterday's record new cases was shattered today with 274 new cases.

The current surge seems to be linked to social gatherings, such as wedding and funerals, with a smaller number linked to Thanksgiving dinners.

Dr. Henry states if problems with social gatherings continue, she may change the public health orders to further restrict gatherings.

Kelowna’s École de l’Anse-au-Sable School is the first outbreak in a school, but fairly small with 5 cases but that is up 2 since it began.

Wales to go into full lockdown at 6pm :(

Re: Coronavirus
 

If they decide to do more restrictions in BC, I really wish they would do it by health region and not province wide.

Really serves no purpose in say Kamloops having the same level of restrictions as Vancouver when Kamloops has so few cases.

Re: Coronavirus
 

They did it and are still doing lockdowns by region in Ontario.

Re: Coronavirus
 

We never really had lockdowns, but the restrictions we do get end up being province wide in most cases which makes no real sense since only 2 regions of the entire province actually have high caseloads.
