I know it's going to be tough for a few of my young international staff who are literally living cheque to cheque to cover rent. I tried my best to keep them on some shifts but I can't be just giving away money either...

All jokes aside, the vaccine has been a dinner table topic for the two of us quite often.
In my narrow sight of world, the process where we are vaccinating remote communities first is a very Canadian thing to do, where we are compassionate of every life. Those places do not have the medical capacity to handle an outbreak therefore we vaccinate them first to ensure they don't have mass casualties. Obviously that takes more time to and resources to do.
However my statistics mind tells me we should be vaccinating the big cities first. These big cities are how people are going to be contracting and bringing the virus to the small communities, if the big cities have immunity first and we stop the spread, then the small communities would have a smaller chance of having the virus brought in by accident. Vaccinating large urban centers first also means a much quicker roll out as people are more concentrated and have the right facilities and equipment to get it done; and things can go back to "normal" quicker, at the possible expense of people dying in remote communities.
Who am I kidding though... we can't even get frontline workers vaccinated at an efficient rate....

^ well if you need help offloading some delicious food you know where to find help!
On a serious note, that's awfully thoughtful of you to know the international staff have it real tough.
I was on the flipside, working internationally and with covid the absolute first jobs to go were all the foreign staff. Double kicker is that most people's visas were tied to employment and they'd have to uproot and leave, absolutely devastating to so many families.

The various restrictions really suck, but I hope people don’t have to go through what yray went through before taking the restrictions seriously. (Note: I am not saying that yray didn’t take the restrictions seriously)

Ontario is closing for a month starting Saturday, they had 2557 cases in a day and supposedly that was the trigger
They've got 3X our population and just 2.5x the cases

FALLKKK | The CEO/gf's boss should also get tested because you can still get COVID again even if you've been infected once already.

FALLKKK | How severe were their symptoms, and how are they doing? (Looking for positives and hopefully the correlation between easier transmission + weaker strain...)

Received first dose of Pfizer this morning. No measurable side effects yet. Coquitlam Poirier site was efficient. Too bad it was a 20min drive when I live within walking distance to two other sites, lol.

P.1 virus can do reinfection and the natural antibodies won't even take care of it a 2nd time as it neutralize antibodies from regular covid 19.
worst case scenario, vaccines could be redesigned and tweaked to be a better match - in a matter of weeks or months, if necessary.
we're in the beginning stages of this mutation, there can be more verison's of covid 19 in the future more resistant than before as its happening now.

I really, REALLY wish every single person who has read this thread could just for a moment walk past an ICU bed and see with their own eyes the suffering this virus has caused and is still causing.
Seeing video on the news, photos, etc really doesn't hit hard enough for a lot of people. Imagine for a moment that's your family member or someone you love with every fiber of your being. Someone you would die to protect. Then, have the realization that you are completely helpless in this moment because it's too late. They're already infected.
Recently, it's the young people as we all know. It's really quite devastating to see someone who is close to your age and is relatively healthy be incapacitated, intubated and completely at the will of a virus. I know we're all sick of this shit. It's been 12+ months but, it's a virus. Our feelings, frustrations, and fatigue mean nothing to it.
Please, do the best you can to protect yourself and others. And for the love of whatever god you believe in, get vaccinated once you can. Let's end this damn pandemic asap.
