“I continue to support public health in making those decisions," said Dix. “The issue is if you're sick, stay home."
When asked to confirm that adults who feel better can stop isolating without a timeline attached, he replied, “That’s right.”
Insanity. It’s fucking crazy that we continue to have restrictions on gatherings etc. when this is the guidance.
It’s getting to the point where it feels like Bonnie and Dix are behind the scenes giggling seeing how much longer they can flex their power over the masses

So he was "right" but nobody of any significance was claiming he was "wrong"
US prison system treats prisoners with covid with ivermectin though so I dunno
Now there is no isolation if you gave symptoms but not been tested ...previously, it was, 'assume you have it and isolate for 5 days'.
I'm a good soldier and all but how can the government expect us to first of all, keep track of all the revisions, and secondly, comply any more ??!! Really making those cuckoo protesters at the Art Gallery look good.
I feel like this is an attempt to keep the schools (subsidized daycare) going so that teachers can keep on spreading...aheem teaching and schools won't have functional closures anymore.

Uh, if you're referring to the recent news where some buttfuck prison in Arkansas gave a prisoner Ivermectin without permission, whoever was involved is going to be in a world of hurt.
To take that and say "they are treating covid with Ivermectin" is
Can we ask China or some other country to do experimental drugs on prisoners? Like let them do something good back for the society. ... just kidding before people pop off.

And then China will just return with whatever test results that the testers ask for -- this experimental drug is 94.85% effective when your hypothesis suggests a 94.86% effectiveness. Now give us your money for the certification.
Wait... am I talking about materials safety tests for all sorts of general merchandise, or are we talking about testing experimental drugs now?
Booster shot is kicking my ass with the side effects. Nothing but a sore arm from the first two.
2nd shot I had a mild headache for a day and I was good. 3rd shot I felt basically bed ridden for 2 days with muscle soreness and nausea. Most of the people I know don't have any side effects though.

Police in the US are searching for a monkey that escaped after a truck carrying 100 of them was involved in a crash.
The trailer, which was carrying the monkeys to a laboratory in Florida, collided with a dump truck on a motorway in Pennsylvania.
No-one was hurt, but four monkeys managed to escape.
Three have since been found, but one monkey remained unaccounted for on Saturday morning
Monkeys used in covid testing were being transported but the transport vehicle got into a crash, and four monkeys escaped, three have been found, but one is on the loose

Seems to me that the new 'no longer forced to isolate' is them letting people use their discretion on whether they are still sick enough to be in public after getting covid. It must be frustrating to recover from covid, and you're no longer infectious, but you have to isolate additional days for no reason.
At the same time they don't want to have huge gatherings that turn into super spreaders. Say a Canucks game becomes a super spreader event. It could either be 16K (or whatever) people spreading it from there, or 8K with restrictions but not shut down. With 50% capacity, life can be somewhat normal, but they still want to avert total disaster.
Isn't that what you wanted? Actual sense is being used. Would you rather them just give up and let covid takes its course and just hope it isn't a total catastrophe?
So hold on.. actual sense is you have a fever, and 30 hours later your back at work because you deem yourself not infectious? Literally DAYS after the guidance is to wait 3 days after symptoms arise to take a rapid test?
There is so much hypocrisy in this thread from you Covid die-hards lol. Like literally anything released by public health etc. is this gospel and then when logic dictates somthing else it can’t be questioned.
We’ve seemingly given up anyways, the people filling up ICU’s are not allowed into Canuck games, so yes, I’d prefer things are just opened up over these half-assed, convoluted messages that are open up to interpretation.
At some point it was very clear the public couldn’t be trusted to make their own decisions so the govt. steps in and puts in the vaccine passports, mandates, etc. now that their system has completely fallen apart TWO YEARS into this, it’s now up to the public to make a judgement call as to whether they are infectious or not? Lol!
This isn’t a matter of putting trust in the public’s hands, this is a utterly pathetic system that was barely functioning before omicron completely falling apart and them having no other choice.

Now BC is allowing Covid +'ve patients in the same room as someone who is double vaccinated! This is kinda shocking but I think they must be so full of Covid patients, they don't have enough separate wards?
B.C. to allow COVID-positive and double-vaxxed patients to share hospital rooms
Policy due to hospitals being overwhelmed with new cases, officials say.
Due to record-high hospitalizations, patients who have COVID-19 are being placed in the same room with double-vaccinated people who do not have the virus, British Columbia health officials said.
B.C. Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry confirmed the policy at a Friday news conference, responding to a specific question about the policy's use by the Fraser Health Authority.
It is unclear if the policy is limited to hospitals in Fraser Health, the province's largest health-care authority with 12 hospitals, and which hospitals have the policy in place.
"I can't believe they make everyone get tested and isolate. "Dr. Bonnie" doesn't know what she's doing. She should follow Boris Johnson and let the people make their own decisions. Trump was right."
"I can't believe they are letting people make their own decisions. "Dr Bonnie" doesn't know what she's doing. Covid die-hards."
Almost like no matter what decision is made, the same people will complain and call everyone else a "covid die-hard" and bring up Trump for some reason.
What is the one thing that is the right decision? Oh you don't know? Nobody does? Exactly!
The one right decision sure isn't singling out a couple of industries yet letting tons of others go ahead just fine. 50% capacity at Rogers arena = thousands in an area where no one actually wears a mask and half the crowd is lit VS going to a gym trying to stay in shape = sorry shut down without providing any data on their decisions. Just pick a lane and go with it, are we open or are we caring about the spread?

You say enough things you’ll be right sometimes. He’s still the fuckin retard that suggested people inject bleach. He also didn’t come up with the fuckin idea of remdesivir.
You think he made the vaccines too?

Was Trump talking about Remdesevir before or after doctors determined the effectiveness? If it was before, it doesn't matter if it turned out to be correct later on, because he was pulling it out of his ass when he was saying it.

They even arrest ppl who don't have/show their vax pass, there's recent viral vids of like 5 police officers throwing a lady into a paddy wagon bcuz of it
What's the deal down there for her? Like quarantine wise?
Guessing she needs a new negative test xx hours before the next flight now?
Me and two buddies going down in 2 weeks, to Sayulita 1hr north
Quick trip report.
We're back now, a total of 33 days in Puerto Vallarta, it was a breeze.
All in all the entire COVID experience down there was non-existent.
Rules for quarantine in Mexico are pretty much non-existent if you're asymptomatic and vaccinated, we played it safe after a few days and stayed to ourselves anyways.
I definitely recommend you get insurance though, it doesn't cost much more -- and covers your ass for food/accommodation.
Swoop were awesome -- they moved our flights to a later date (12 days later) without any cost, and neither of us purchased insurance on the flight portion. If you test positive they simply allow you to change flights once, carte blanche. No idea how these guys are making money, the flight was half empty the way down, and back.
I surmise travel insurance providers will revamp their COVID travel coverage rules in the near future, given it seems all these people traveling down to these destinations are catching COVID left and right. At a cost of an additional $50 or so, it's definitely a loss leader.
The irony of the whole thing? I tested negative with my GF testing positive the 1st time, and on my 2nd PCR test before flying back, negative once again. I still will never understand how she caught COVID being triple vaxxed, and me being double vaxxed, not at all.
We have a feeling we know when it happened, hanging out at a music lounge with a buddy who lives down there and his GF who is a nurse in Mexico. His GF ended up being sick with a "cold" a few days later.
What is fascinating is that you're almost better testing positive (if in a couples situation with the other person testing negative). With her testing positive, she didn't have to retest before flying back 12 days later, and by testing positive, she can fly and travel anywhere without a returning PCR test for the next 180 days. Isn't that crazy?
Had I tested positive for COVID on my 2nd PCR test before leaving, I would've had to stay (even while testing negative initially, and staying with a person who tested positive), and she would be fine to get home having tested positive 10 days prior.
Not going to lie, I was definitely nervous that the 2nd test would come back positive.
Maybe it's the weed smoking, it kept the COVID away?
We plan to attend a birthday in Arizona in April, and Cabo in May, she won't need a PCR testing returning home from either trip, meanwhile I will (as per my negative results). Who would've thought that catching COVID would be beneficial for travel purposes?
Fun fact -- I ended up getting a night and morning of diarrhea after drinking this very Pina Colada on Playa Las Animas, only time I really got burned drinking blended drinks the whole trip
If you hike there, stick to the beers. Needless to say I wasn't smiling on the boat ride back to Boca De Tomatlan
All in all, I say travel, the experience was fine, if you're on the fence, why waste another year of your life waiting?
