Covid-19 in Northern BC

Nice! We have Covid-idiots a plenty here on the North Coast. I really don’t get that mind set at all. I like what Quebec is doing; they’re requiring vaccine passports to get into liquor stores and weed dispensaries. In the future they’re going to require passports for shopping malls. I hope BC does the same.

Yes there are Covidiots here too. A friend of mine got his first dose, refuses to get the 2nd.
“In light of the NEW evidence”
whatever the hell that is…

Covidiots are just afraid to admit they’re chickenshit of needles like babies. Why the hell else would they make up such absurd excuses to avoid it.

their new evidence is , See even ppl vaccinated are getting it, but what they don’t realize is vaccines do no prevent you from getting it they prevent you from getting seriously ill, also the BC government or their msging is partly to blame too, why close down bars, nightclubs and gyms but keep casino’s open? especially if you have a passport mandate being enforced?

Yes. Even though I’m triple vaccinated I can catch Covid-19, but, I am far less likely to be seriously ill. The deaths are happening with the un-vaccinated. So get fully vaccinated folks!
Casinos bring in good tax dollars for the government.

I don’t understand why the BC government is in such a rush to bring K-12 students back into the classroom tomorrow… In my opinion I think this is a mistake; Omicron is surging. University students are doing remote learning for the next while.

Just finished a hellish 6 hour 4wheel drive in the snow to get the wife from PGH. Sending her home to free up the bed. Now I discover I have to drive her there and back again later this week for more tests.
Like we all just live down the street from a Regional Hospital.
But policy is policy is policy

There were 72 cases of Covid-19 last week, that’s a 200% increase from the previous week. Omicron is spreading rapidly. Protect yourself and get vaccinated. You’re less likely to die if you’re fully vaccinated.

Last week there were 90 cases of Covid-19. Stay safe folks, get fully vaccinated.

Covid-19 cases in Prince Rupert are declining. We had 70 cases last week, a reduction of 20 cases.

Covid-19 cases are up a bit from last week. There are 79 cases according to the data from last week. Get your shots folks.

My future son in law caught COVID in Terrace, he thinks. He’s doing a course for six weeks in Terrace, he came home for the weekend and took a rapid test in Rupert and tested positive. When he dialed 811 they said he didn’t qualify for a test. Thankfully his symptoms are mild. He received his booster shot a little over two weeks ago. My son in law and daughter are now isolating.
Get vaccinated!!

Our family had it a few weeks ago. It was pretty bad, almost as bad as influenza, if you’ve ever been unlucky enough to have that. Muscle pain, headaches, and just super tired. But no trips to the hospital, so that’s a good thing. And the two oldest kids had no symptoms and never tested positive.

Last time I had the flu, I was hospitalized. :frowning:

Just spoke with my daughter today ( she loved your IT instruction back in the day) and she has symptoms. A friend of hers dropped off a rapid test that she’s going to use tomorrow. I’m grateful that they’ve had their boosters; they shouldn’t get severe illness (hopefully).

So for Omicron, we consistently tested negative on the rapid tests. Once we started swabbing the throat instead of the nasal passage, then it was positive.

My 27 year old tested positive today on the rapid test. I’m grateful that she’s triple vaxxed. I’m a little frightened. This thing is very infectious. Get vaccinated and protect yourself.

Hopefully it won’t take too much of a toll.Fingers crossed.

Thanks! Covid cases are climbing again, there were 85 cases reported last week. If my family is an indication then the cases in town are under reported. My daughter and future son in law didn’t qualify for a test.

My daughter and future son in law are in the clear. I’m very grateful that they believe in science. Covid cases are falling, there were 64 cases last week.

Been away from site a while. Wife just passed away,
made the news again. Girl murdered in the meth house on the corner just over a week ago. Saw the cop cars that night after leaving the wife at emergency, Major Crimes officer came to door. Asked him how I could track down my son in Van, missed his usual Merry Xmas I need money call.
Started by calling Coroners Office, he overdosed on fentanyl, died Dec 17. Little bugger listed a street buddy as his “uncle” so no one ever called. Two days later they told the wife wshe had small cell cancer, way advanced. She passed 3 days later…
stll in shock

Oh my goodness, herbie! My condolences, mate. I’m very sorry for your loss. I can well appreciate that you’re in shock. Perhaps you can be with family and friends; get the support you need.
