An official fact sheet clarifies the rules for residents of the Greater Toronto Area neighbourhood:
— Maintain a list of full names and contact information (including phone numbers) for all attendees at the social gathering, regardless of age, in a private dwelling and/or commercial premises and, upon request, shall provide Durham Region Health Department (DRHD) with this information within 24 hours of the request, or other time specified.

— Maintain the list of names and contact information (including phone numbers) for attendees at the social gathering for a period of at least one month.
....good? Now that we have vaccines it's probably less urgent, but pre-vaccines this was a critical part of pandemic mitigation that the West was out to lunch on. It also would have helped to get people to better understand which activities were riskier than others.

Honestly it just sounds like Facebook and Twitter stopped selling Canada their user data and now Canada needs to try something else.

Two dose version of Johnson & Johnson shot 94% effective against Covid-19, study finds

Too bad people under 65 can’t have boosters because Science reasons

That has nothing to do with J&J.

OK.


Do you believe the feds will allow boosters for J&J but not Pfizer?

Maybe. J&Js initial shot isn't as effective as the Pfizer primary series.

Are they really expecting us to buy the whole 94% effective thing again?

Vail Resorts is requiring proof of vaccination for guests to dine indoors on mountain restaurants but you do not need a proof of vaccination to just use the same bathrooms.

That makes sense

and they are not requiring masks/proof of anything and will be loading the Gondolas/chairlifts as they were pre pandemic.

This all makes sense

I mentioned I had a high school friend due from covid in the past couple weeks.
His brother, a pastor, posted that he believes the blood of Christ will protect him and that if it’s his time to go it’s his time, whether he’s vaccinated or not. I’ve heard that rationale from other evangelicals before and for the life of me I cannot understand that way of thinking. Reminds me of the old line about two rowboats and a helicopter.

I actually think it's refreshing when someone still has faith in Christianity and is not covidian.
