Brentwood and Richmond… if I wasn’t wearing a mask I would have been the only one haha… didn’t feel the need to put it on to walk to washrooms at restaurants and stuff… It will come slowly I think… it will feel more real when the passport gets dropped after April 8 |

I'll take the fails from the usual suspects; it's still foolish. There's still a pandemic, people still die, and it will take longer to go away the more readily it spreads. The longer it sticks around, the more it has a chance to mutate into something weird. For instance now they're seeing people with a Delta/Omicron hybrid version of the virus. We're not at the endemic "treat it like the flu" stage just yet. And even then, I don't want the flu either.. It fucken sucks! LUL I actually have some weird cough right now and it's driving me crazy (it's not covid) Edit: Maybe 'foolish' isn't the right word though.. maybe more like reckless, or irresponsible |
You quoted me, but didn’t acknowledge the scenario I mentioned, where I’d literally be a medical anomaly to be studied in labs all over as the only person on the planet to get covid twice in a 2.5 month span while fully vaccinated. I have no problem with masks, but at this point in time, it’s not a step that can prevent illness or death in my circumstances. Like I said, in 3 months when variant 69420 hits I’ll have it back on. |

You’d be surprised. I’d say at my work, around 50% of people fit that category. The last wave absolutely ripped through the population here. Definitely it should be built around risk level. That said, the risk level was determined by dr bonbon that we are fine to do it. We should expect people to follow the guidance at the best of times or we can’t really be mad at the people not following it at the worst of times. Not that I’m saying it’s unreasonable for someone to not rip their mask off, but saying that if they say “no that guidance isn’t accurate” you can’t really say “dr bonbons guidance must be followed” 6 weeks later when you like it more. |
If you have a boat with 8 billion holes in the bottom then plugging 30million of them won’t make any difference. The only reason I wear a mask is out of respect to someone’s private property, the same way I’d take my shoes off if I visited someone’s house. I have yet to be charged with manslaughter for not wearing a mask. Until they find a way to give a booster to 8 billion people at the exact same time the cycle will continue. |
Goes back to Asian culture and mindset. Before anyone even heard of Covid, Asians wore masks during flu season voluntarily |

....so its not me feeling dirty breathing unfiltered air. |
Shenzhen, a city of 17 million people, had 66 positives so went into full lockdown last night, including public transportation. They'll test all 17 million people 3 times over the next few days and put all positives into isolation. Will be interesting to see if that cuts it off. This fucks me over because that's where most of our food and supplies come through.. When the border was closed for a day, it coincided with a panic buy over lockdown rumors, and there was almost no fresh or frozen food for days, only canned stuff. |
i doubt it's only 66 positive but meh... people are encourage not to leave shanghai.. good luck with that too ahhah |
I am going to assume that Chinese officials are not stupid -- they know their own vaccines offer very limited protection against COVID -- be it infection, severe cases, or deaths, so if they can't stop the virus dead in its tracks before it gets any bigger, the whole country would be thoroughly fxxked. Also, politically, Baus Xi has made it clear from the get-go that they are adhering to their COVID Zero strategy. To abolish it would mean a political failiure on Emperor Xi's part, and he would lose face to the 1.4B peasants in his country. So either way you slice it, they gotta try clamping down hard on it. But with Omicron, and with the number of cases that has already been established in China, I'm afraid the genie is already out of the bottle. Quote:

Most old people here use Sinovac, and only 10% of deaths are vaccinated. So Sinovac is fine. |

And then there is the impact to the economy. Certainly you've seen the impact of Welcome and Park'n Shop -- the 2 biggest HK supermarket chains, for those who don't know -- needing to close at 3pm because they don't have enough staff? And the goods delivery problem because warehouse staff are sick as well? And that the slaughter houses in Hong Kong all closing down because the butchers got sick? If Omicron hits China as hard as it is hitting Hong Kong, the results would be disastrous (for the CCP). |

34 weeks? I have to renew my kids’… hoping you’re missing a hyphen lol |
so road trips across the border will be hassle free now in terms of testing, or is that airports only? it wasn't clear to me in the article |

Otherwise you'll have to mail it in or bring it into service Canada who will do the same, and then they'll get to it when they get to it Friend said it took him two months, but that was last year I just wanted to drive over to get my packages didn't realise my pp expired :okay: |

Not sure if it's changed then. Mine was done online I believe. They do a questionnaire and it'll say yes you qualify for renewal or not. This was renewed in Dec. and it had expired the year before in October. |
