Don't believe Terry, he's actually not sorry. HH

The CDC has listed Canada as a no go zone! https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/notices/covid-4/coronavirus-canada HH

We now have 11 confirmed cases at my local Metro, where my kids work. After the initial infection hit the store, virtually ALL cases can be traced to contact in the lunch room. Metro says they are mandated to provide a space for people to eat their lunch. They feel they have mitigated spread by setting up plastic shields, air conditioner and air filtration system. Unfortunately for some, that hasn't worked. Metro hired a private firm to test any and all employees who wanted one. The two recent cases are of students, who have been the greeters at the store entrance. They used the lunch room. Folks, as "Uncle Doug" would say, your best bet against infection is to stay the h e double hockey sticks out of confined spaces. the other thing that has become apparent is Covid fatigue, folks just plain tired or restrictions, masks etc. Don't let your guard down! Be vigilant and let the vaccine catch up to the virus. There will be an end to this... HH

I wanna see those sorted rivets! LMAO HH

No problem Cliff. There is no play book for this type of thing and as such, we see conflicting reports from various sources. People in the know are learning as they go along and passing what they find out as they learn it. The only thing we can be sure of is that isolation and distancing do work. Science is playing catch up with a disease that is not static, hence the conflicting messages. My suggestion to all is to connect with your doctor if you are not sure and follow their advice. HH

There is a lot of confusion Cliff, I might have some answers for you... -post infection immunity does not mean that you can't get it again, there are many cases of folks getting it numerous times over a period of time -people who have been infected and have recuperated should get the vax, to prevent severe infection, should they be re-infected -I have not heard of rebound effect for people who have had it and been fully vaccinated. I do know of people who have had it numerous times, have suffered from long term "brain fog" only to receive the vax and have those symptoms go away within days of receiving the vax. -Anti-body tests are far more difficult to develop than vaccine, they are in process -nursing home tests are not the same as the full blown test at the clinic... they are less reliable portable units. Similar to what the airports are using. They are however, better than nothing You are correct in being concerned and cautious, the "variables of concern" are much more dangerous, especially when you consider that it is now taking out healthy people in the prime of their life... 35 -50 year olds. Watching the Jays game in Texas... get ready for numbers there to spike! No masks, distancing, nothing... just like when the winter storm hit them, money before people. HH

Well, this story just keeps on getting better.... On Friday, we got a call at the house from Toronto Public Health, they were looking to speak with my son. (If you recall, my son has been working non stop for the pas three weeks all the while two members of his department have tested positive) they informed him that he has now completed his "mandatory" 2 week isolation period! Well, that was news to us as he had not received a call from public health until this call! Needless to say, we are infuriated! I spoke to the store manager who explained to me that public health was made aware of all "potential" transmissions and that he should have had a call from P.H. three weeks ago. I have tried to reach public health to discuss, but they are CLOSED today! HH

Way to stay classy Crimsongulf! HH

They go down, until they don't. HH

It makes zero sense if you believe that folks in the higher infected regions will stay there. That has not been the case so far in the pandemic. People have been moving around the province at will, so with the active variant running rampant, a lock down is required. HH

Total cases at my local Metro, 8 confirmed. All can be traced back to department managers who removed masks at any opportunity they saw fit! It's maddening! It also look like "Uncle Dougie" is going to lock us down again for 28 days. Announcement at 1:30 today. HH

Virtually every commercial vehicle on the road today has tracking systems built into the vehicle. I see nothing wrong or different in Dan's approach. And given that Dan's business is responsible for the employee, the vehicle and their actions, while driving his company truck, he needs to cover his behind or end up paying insurance through the ying yang. HH

And if you can help Brian with hooks, perhaps you could provide a link to a good beard trimming device at a good price! LMAO HH

We are at three confirmed cases now and I expect more to come. HH

Getting back on track... my local "Metro" has two confirmed cases, that may end up being a lot more. To make matters even more "interesting, both my teenage kids work in that store! One confirmed case of a deli worker, the other is in the produce section. My son works in the deli and my daughter, produce! Little to no direction coming from the store. They did do a "overnight deep clean" last night. We contacted public health and will be getting both kids tested after a 7 day waiting period. So here's where the stupid are dragging us around. One of the deli co-workers decided to make and drop off some soup, to the confirmed case in the deli. No problem right.... no, big problem as they not only dropped off soup, but decided to stay, in the house, for a visit! I swear, the stupid are going to drag us all down with them! HH

Left to it's own devices, the virus will double the number of infected every week. So, I am sure you can figure out the math here. HH

Well, with numbers continuing to climb and discussion of a third wave, it's likely that we'll be locked down, before we open up more. March Break for the kids was moved to mid-April and there are discussions that they may finish the school year with everyone going virtual. 32% of current cases have been linked to schools. HH

Curious as to why you continue to go on about the border opening when you have already told us numerous times that you have no problem legally coming into the country. I am not trying to be a Richard here, just trying to understand your motivation? HH

Gov has announced the border will stay closed at least until April 21st. Also, the U.S. has agree to supply Canada with 1.5 mill AstraZenica doses. Apparently, they are not using them and they are nearing their expiration date. They are also sending a bunch to Mexico. HH

The question becomes when to add the sauce! HH

Who needs a stove? This could keep Brian busy for days! HH

Or shiver! LOL HH

So the other day I was at the grocery store and by mistake, I bought a package of "Maple Bacon". Having made that mistake in the past, I tried to unload it on a neighbour. I couldn't give that crap away! They made the same face I did when I realized the err of my ways, kinda like they were sucking on a bottle of vinegar! I did eventually find one who would take it, so i gave them a nice big ripe tomato for their troubles. God I hate maple flavoured anything! HH
