Most important when will barbers and hair salons re-open? Who else is tired of their DIY haircuts? Doug Ford's daughter cut his hair recently, but John Tory's mop is still a mess. LOL
I've seen barber & hair salons in BC being open for months now. Where are they closed? Still i do DIY as i have for years. Why expose oneself with more deadly VOC running around looking for victims.

I'm starting to believe it will never end to be honest.

A year ago I would have never expected it to not only still be here, but worse than ever.

If we will require annual vaccinations as they are staying, we will be fucked because there simply is not enough vaccine manufacturing capacity in the world.

Oh but what happens when the vaccines can't protect us from all the variants from other countries. Hmmmmm. We already got the U.K. and Brazilian variants. With all the flights coming in from Indian I'm sure we'll get their double mutated variant. And seeing how Sweden didn't do a lockdown I'm sure their variant is on the horizon.
First off I agree NO NONE NADA non essential flights from any country should be allowed in or out period, full stop! The vaccines work, perhaps a few boosters here and there to address the variants. Get your jab, wear your mask and social distance so you can help get it under control and end it instead of spewing out nonsense and bullshit to try and inspire gullible folks into believing its just a flu and open it up.

Extended to may 20

variants out of control


they hope to vaccinate 100 k per day

that means 3 million more vaccinated by may 20


will that end lockdown?
The experts I trust say 80% of the population needs to be vaccinated for us to restore order...as the vaccination population increases more restrictions will be gradually lifted.

Our barbers and hair salons have been closed in the GTA (Greater Toronto Area) since November 2020. Other parts of Ontario they were only shut down only a few weeks ago with the most recent "stay-at-home" order restrictions.

we got 20 % already done in ontario

looks like 20 % every month at the 100k per day rate predicted but that could easily change

so 3 more months until 80 % according to my math

Only 60% vaccinated in Israel. Plus another percentage who got infected, recovered & have immunity.

Was reading the most recent study I could find on antibody duration in covid cases and found that the thing about people who have had covid and possess the antibodies is that for people who were asymptomatic their antibodies seem to start to decline at about 35 days and within 2 to 3 months have been found to be totally absent.
For people with mild to severe symptoms antibodies seemed to start decreasing at 3 weeks and depleted or absent at 6 months.
So immunity from infection lasts less time than the vaccine which if I recall was still around 90% effective after 6 months.

saw that Quebec had a confirmed case of a strain from India today yet another stain brought into Canada because the borders are not closed

COVID-19 update for April 21: Canada extends hotel quarantine requirement | Variant linked to India crisis detected in Quebec | CFL to start season Aug. 5 | Alberta premier 'respects' B.C.'s travel restrictions | 849 new cases and one death (msn.com)

thx pete

i got some good news

Biden has promised Trudeau, via a phone call, vaccine as soon as they vaccine their own

he did not say when but he also said he will supply central america so I do not think he would put us ahead of them

as their need is so dire as well as brazil

it looks like north and south america will get their help before the rest of the world


Did Trump actually do something right that got the USA ahead of us?


I find that hard to believe although he claims he did

we should be making our own vaccine then supply the world once we got our own done which should of be done by now


we got big country but small population

Trudeau fucked it up


the world would call us heroes and admire us for helping them out but we are the ones begging for help

Like I said in another thread " Canada will be responsive in that we will take action once the variant has a firm foothold by saying, "No use banning flights now, its already here". "

Except that new strains keep popping up so banning flights/entry to Canada would keep those out
