My fever broke, but it still came back at 102.5F. I spent another 4 days with that. On Friday, it finally dropped below 100F. I also got my appetite back. Now, I'm waiting for the fever to completely go away. Today is the most normal I've felt in a long time.
Thank God, my wife didn't experience the severity of symptoms I had. She only had fatigue and a sore throat that came and went.

And bruh, BK > Wendy's, just saying.

BK in Langley is ghetto.
I know food poisoning from experience, and that wasn't it. Symptoms as previously listed.

I moved last month and have been waiting patiently to go back to ikea. I checked their websites to see if they’re open yet, and NO! The rest of Canada is all open but BC/AB remains closed.
Fucking excuse me?? You open up the east but keep the west closed? Number of cases are...
Bc ~2500
AB ~6000
ON ~25,000
QB ~50,000
How could IKEA think opening those provinces was okay but not bc/ab???

Order your shit from IKEA inline and pick it up.
IKEA is like a hotbed for germs everyone and their mother touching literally everything, their return policy is excellent if you build something and it doesn’t work, return it.
Don’t see the need to go in

Local Ikeas are now doing curbside pickup. The spots fill quickly, so you have to order your stuff at midnight each day to confirm your spot two days in advance. $5 flat fee for curbside pickup service.
I ordered some stuff on Thursday at midnight and got a pickup time on Saturday morning. It was a smooth pickup and I got my items within 5 minutes of texting the dedicated pickup line.

Curb side has been open for the last 3 weeks at least because my brother in law and his dad have a contracting company that use a lot of IKEA and they’ve been using them for at least the last 3 last I spoke with them

Went to Parallel 49 for a beer after walk last night, Jesus Christ this shit is wack af... fucking prison visitation 
Many, many places are going to fail because of the regulations they need to follow. I believe P49 can have 80+ people in this space normally. They did a great job and have good procedures for their space but have fun smaller breweries etc. That rely on tasting rooms. I know of at least 5-6 in East Van that won’t be able to have more than 6 ppl at a time now.

I went to dead frog brewery. It's weird.
1) please don't work around, just stay in your seat and look at the board above instead of coming up to the tilt.
2) Table is 20 ft long, 6 ft portion to seat 5 of us, 6 ft on the other end for 5 more, the 8 ft between is neutral, we will hand off food here and you can pass the food / drinks down yourself to your party.
3) we will only serve you one side only, you can distribute within your group.
It's really weird but hey... i understands things aren't back to normal.

So presumabely things will be like this until either A) they figure enough people either have it or have built up immunity to it that people can be in closer contact with strangers
or B) There's a vaccine.
Have fun restaurants.

I walked around Pacific Center on Saturday. Nordstorm doesn't look like to have a capacity limit, tho not that many people in it anyway. Jack and Jones had a 8 person capacity limit. Lululemon had a huge line outside of it, "if you need help we're only a hockey stick away".
The Keg on Dunsmir, Cactus Club in Richmond, Earls at Station Square, and Chambar, are all by reservation only. But I think True Confections takes walk in, either that or it's dead. I did not notice a COVID surcharge, but it also wasn't a cheap weekend.

went costco richmond on sunday at 330pm, was a mistake.
There was basically no wait to get in, and once inside there was pretty much zero social distancing with anyone in there. Was packed like pre covid.

Have fun restaurants. | Yeah realistically, like I said before at this rate 90% of restaurants in Canada will go under.
The other 10% will have to double their prices.

If places are choosing profit over safety they deserves to be reported and inspected. Bylaw officers have shown up there time and time again and clearly nothing’s been done

Imo places like P48 need to institute seating times based on purchase. We waited for about 10 minutes to get in while there were multiple tables still sitting with no food or beer in front of them, just chilling chatting.
I know some pubs and whatnot like Woody’s, Jimmy macs etc have a huge benefit in their design and layout because they have already segregated rooms built in, so it’s far easier to have more people within their establishments

I stopped by Superstore today and it looks like there is no need for lines anymore, once you step inside and leave to purchase your food. There isn't a need to be directed to a cashier. Just stickers telling you to maintain 6 feet apart. Feels like things are starting to relax as we get used to social distancing.
A lot of people not wearing a masks though.

Once inside though it's exactly as you described, zero distancing and crowded aisles. Random coughs here and there. Felt like I was playing paintball and trying to dodge landmines at the same time.

Also 99% of the clubs are going to be gone by the time we are stabilized, whenever that is. Would be a funny sight to see some dude trying to grind a chick from 6ft away haha.
I guess it's a good opportunity for new spots to open right away as there will be almost no competition, $35 Jagerbombs anyone?

cautiously looking to see if there's any spike in cases by next week before dining-in later this month
ikea richmond showroom and checkout was fine but marketplace was difficult to distance and this was with a short line-up by the entrance
anyone returning to gym already? how's the booking system working out?
