As of 30 mins ago, about 50 doses at the old orchard shoppers remaining for walk in.

After seeing SSM's post, I called the pharmacy and the girl that answered said they can't disclose how many doses they had left but that they did and best I come right away.

I got there just after 4, got my shot at 4:26 and left at 4:42 after waiting 15 mins to see if I had an allergic reaction to the vaccine.

Can't thanks SSM and RS enough for posting the walkin info.

Thank you.

Man, it fucking blows my mind how many people I'm seeing on social media that have become anti-vaxers, skeptical of the vaccines.

Can't say I've ever purged so many people from my accounts in my life here.

It's been the ultimate excuse to cut someone off you rarely speak to anyways :lol

It’s also extremely disappointing whenever I load up any sort of social media and see friends just out hanging out at people’s houses and throwing parties. It’s never been easier to cut out all these selfish pricks

Canadians stuck in India. How stupid are these people.

Quote:

Nineteen-year-old Kajol Johal learned of Thursday's announcement of a 30-day ban from the federal government just hours after she arrived in northern India's Punjab province to visit her sick grandmother.

"There was no warning. I know that I wouldn't have gotten on my flight even if I knew a couple of hours before that there was potential for a ban," the Delta resident told CBC News.

Johal said she only booked off 10 days from work to make the trip, and will now have to start the next term of her university studies using her grandparents' spotty internet connection.

"It's obviously stressful because … I'm not home. I don't feel safe being here," she said.

Honestly I'm surprised myself. There are still people that think COVID is nothing more than a bad flu. That the flu kills just as many people as COVID in any given normal year. Despite the staggering number of deaths. Despite ICUs reaching capacity. And these idiots always scream the loudest in the comment section. FailFish

I don't even know what to say.

Glad I can help! I wish that producer didn't get the run around.

With vaccinations going on for months now and looking at trends in the US in terms of decreasing deaths in the same time frame. A response I heard is that it corresponds to the flu season. :rukidding:

So internation travellers are ALLOW to come INTO canada BUT you MUST be
1) Canadian citizen
2) dual Canadian citizen with a valid Canadian passport or special authorization permanent resident of Canada person registered under Canada’s Indian Act
3) protected person
Foreign nationals, including United States (US) citizens, can travel to Canada only if they’re eligible.

There are NO international visiting travel / visa allowed.

Summary, people who are coming and going... are all Canadian citizens (and / or special permit).

Regardless who comes in... you MUST quarantine at hotel. UNLESS you drive back from US, then you quarantine in your own home.


Trudeau plugged the loop hole, India + Paki, must legally ENTER another country, test negative, then test negative to leave on a flight; THEN come to canada and be negative again.

In a way, another country who's willing to take them in... then it's their problem ahahhahah smart *clap clap clap

“You MUST quarantine in a hotel”

Unless you just bypass the like and walk right out

Is this a new policy?

Who thought this was a good idea? I wouldn't be surprised if money was involved.

B.C. cancels West Vancouver country club's clinic offering AstraZeneca vaccine to members


Quote:

The B.C. government has cancelled a "pop up" vaccine clinic planned by an exclusive West Vancouver country club after it sent an email to members offering them doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine.

The email, sent by Hollyburn Country Club CEO Ed McLaughlin on April 22 and obtained by CBC News, said members could email and book their vaccine by providing personal information, including a club ID number.

"We understand that there are long wait lists for COVID-19 vaccines in our local communities. To offer some of our members a convenient way to get the AstraZeneca vaccine, we have organized a pop-up clinic at Hollyburn," the email read in part.

Lol impressive, I ain't even mad.

Would be a great idea for a gym to attract back members: free AZ vaccine with membership!

I don't think they have a lack of members. I think it's 40K to join and you have to know someone to join. I have been there twice and the place is really nice.

Playland opening next weekend.

VANCOUVER -- Vancouver's annual amusement park is getting ready to reopen with new COVID-19 protocols.

The amusement park will reopen on May 1 with significantly reduced capacity and only on limited days. Playland is urging people to comply with all health orders, including avoiding travel.

Like last year, physical distancing will be emphasized and all guests over the age of two will be required to wear masks, even when on rides.

^ seems like a really good idea. If anyone know anything about cleanliness, it’s the carnies.

I meant it was a good idea to use vaccines as a 'perk' for their members, and that it could be applied similar as a gym promo. Not that the country club needs more members.

twitchyzero 04-24-2021 05:44 PM

some interesting stats

land crossing testing (+) 0.25%

international passengers coming off flights (+) ~2%

yes it only takes one person to spread to communiti es but both are probably lower than what some of us are suspecting

How did you manage to get Pfizer? You over 60?

The Producer 04-25-2021 10:57 AM

Just waited an hour and half but got an AZ at superstore w my wife on lougheed in coq.

They’re counting doses now though and turning people away.

Thanks to vaccine hunters for the tip. Still crazy that this is the best we can do

EDIT: this is the twitter feed that hooked us up. everybody in the line up heard about it from here.

vaccine demand is waning in the US, some sites are closing

half of adults there have a shot, maybe start sending some up?

vixroar 04-25-2021 01:12 PM

To all those vaccinated: HiFive Chicken is giving away 2 free drumsticks if you show your COVID-19 vaccination card and ID

yray 04-25-2021 01:23 PM

trading vaccination for salmonella :troll:

Manic! 04-25-2021 02:18 PM

Not posting the video but it has gotten so bad in India people are literally dropping in the streets. you have groups of bodies just laying in some places.

68style 04-25-2021 03:13 PM

India government is just murderously negligent at this point.

We got people here comparing Henry to Holocaust doctors... those people should spend a day in fuckin India and see if that changes their tune.
