They are probably at home.

How long did it take to receive the results?

3hrs for a reg antigen test

Aren't antigen tests instant? (YVR airport)

I think they're like 20mins typically

But I went a day early cuz I didn't want to leave it for the last moment

So they said they'd process my test at the end of their day most likely, but got it a bit sooner

4000 strong

4,000 out of 126,000 total so yeah about 3%. I wonder how many of the healthcare workers that walked off the job in other provinces/states would want to take their places.

My sister is on-call every day now at the hospital for the specialty she does (not going to say for privacy reasons) because the only 2 people that full-time do that job both refuse to get vaccinated and can't work.

i get that there are legit reasons why some opted out after the 1st shot, but thousands in public healthcare that are totally unprotected?

it's like an engineer that doesn't believe in physics, botches up the math and hundreds die as a result, it's practically negligence

That's what I was thinking. Someone dedicates their career to medical science, then doesn't believe in it now? My wife works in healthcare and there are a few people in her area that were placed on leave.

A life guard that can't swim?:ilied::troll:

i think more like a life guard that doesn't believe that a floatation device helps / works

i'm flying back to HK tonight.

How much is the quarantine in HK?:pokerface:

NY has a saliva pcr test that is suitable for Canada reentry

I went to a snooty clinic in NoHo to get it done, and the lady, I dunno if I can call her a nurse.., was bare fingering the vial/lid used to collect the saliva and handing it to me, didn't even clean her hands prior to handling anything, felt like I'd catch something from her by spitting into the vial :lol Then she said she'd leave the room to allow me to spit/fill the vial myself

They're totally not taking anything seriously, I went to a snooty clinic hoping it'd be hygienic at least, but oh boy

Quarantine requirement for Hong Kong:


Undergo compulsory quarantine for 21 days in a designated quarantine hotel;
(of course, you pay for the hotel stay)

Undergo 6 tests during compulsory quarantine (professional swab sampling);
Self-monitoring in the subsequent 7 days; and.
Compulsory testing on the 26th day of arrival at Hong Kong at any Community Testing Centre (CTC)

The Hong Kong government does not mess around when it comes to Covid quarantine. :lol

I heard it was like a month quarantine but couldn't believe it, yeesh

Lol fuck..keep foreigners out while China takes control

Bro, China already has complete control over HK.

Except when you are a VIP.

They don't do that anymore... Only govt officials from China (with exceptions if they come from a place with that has active local cases) can bypass it pretty much, AFAIK

Also they just added a rule where if you are hospitalized for covid, you have to quarantine for 14 days after you leave hospital isolation. It's absurd!

The federal vax passport is available to BC residents now (health gateway save as pdf)

For some reason the federal passport says I had one pfizer and one moderna dose, but my vax card says I got two pfizer shots, n the day of my second dose the vax centre said it was pfizer doses so..... wut

Even Huawei lady had to quarantine when she got back, they don't want any of that Canada virus:troll::troll:

Was it quarantine… or were they waterboarding her to see if she gave up state secrets

SO much fun.
1) PCR test... HAS to be certified ISO. I'm sitting at the gate and the lifelab this lady she got the results from were not the HK recognized ISO.....

Was super worried if I should get rushed versus regular ($150 + tax versus 200)
2) Flight via Cathy $2,500 economy CDN
3) Hotel at the shittest hotel.. (40 of them are all booked); $20k HKD for 14 days.
