Covid-19 in Northern BC

I had planned to head out to edmonton during spring break to do some work I’ve been pushing back since last January. That didn’t happen either but I don’t think I want to spend my summer in AB so… maybe the fall?

I honestly just hope my parents are able to get vaccinated before someone kills them.

Do me a favor people, when you guys hear your friends talking about how nice it was to be out of town please tell them Jesus hates them and is disappointed in their life choices.

I hope they actually audit people traveling and setup road checks/whatever and not just at the ferries.

Not sure how useful it is to restrict people to their own health authority when Northern health encompasses half the province but at least we have a half measure!

Since Horgan is listening to me… can we get some road checks? I mean you can pretend they are for DUI if that makes life easier but keep people the hell home.

The ban restricts people from going outside their Health Region. Good luck, ours is half the Province.
Even if I can legally go visit the grand daughter in Terrace I haven’t seen in a year and a half, it would be pretty irresponsible to travel 600km to “visit”, wouldn’t it?
On the other hand, it’s necessary to go 175 km to see the eye doctor, any specialist, or get any kind of medical test from these parts. And silly not to mask up and hit Costco for twice as much for a dollar less while you’re at it. Goddam Jimmy P’s hiked everything at least 50% since this shit started and the stores still open here are as empty shelved as they were in Soviet Russia

Much better numbers. Good job Rupert peeps.

I believe it’s going to be broken down by regions not Health Authority from what I understand, though not really enforced. I think the main enforcement will be on BC Ferries to the Island.

They now say Northern Health people are OK in the Interior Health region. That’s 3/4 of the province!
I’ve always claimed that Area Code 250 is Beyond Hope. The Island can’t go to the mainland either.
Why not just say 604’s and 250’s can’t mingle…

Our friend’s 42 yr old son has been on a ventilator in Lethbridge hospital for a week now. They fired a 20 something at her work for ripping off his mask and shouting about Covid being bullshit in front of customers a few days ago. She said if the supervisor hadn’t canned his ass and hustled him out the door in two minutes, she would’ve beaten on the guy herself, she’d warned him a dozen times and wrote him up for not wearing the mask over his nose.
The girl who lives across the street and works at the Clinic took her kids to visit the inlaws in Alberta for a week, came back and went to work the very next day.
The assholes will always be the assholes.

Jesus. I wish all the best for your friend’s Son! I’m really god damn tired of selfish anti-vaxxers. Agreed! The assholes will always be assholes.

Zero cases of Covid-19 last week. Great news, Prince Rupert!!

Got the 2nd shot, no side effects (other than that arm feeling like it was punched)

Haha! Same. Just a sore arm for the second shot. I had cold symptoms with the first shot.

I was speaking to a cashier at Safeway this morning. She said that they were informed at a staff meeting that there are 2-3 Covid-19 cases in town. We’re not at zero anymore friends. I’m masking up in stores. The Wednesday numbers from the BC Centers for Disease Control will likely reflect this change.

It’s all over. No need to wipe down the shopping cart handles, sterilize hand baskets or dust and face the shelves. Staff can go back to fucking the dog.
Winos can resume jamming their face into yours and begging for change while the cops sit in the cat and watch.
*WTF can you even buy for “change” these days? At least the meth-heads understand today’s prices when they scratch themselves and ask for “twenny bucks, just twenny bucks man, I really need twenny bucks”… gee on that line of thought if I were King, you could only buy cigarettes from vending machines - ones that only took nickels. $20 worth of nickels…
