The title they should have gone with is "So far, 90% of everyone who received the shot is still immune." At least, in this case, means from the first doses were given until now. So this is great news. I'll have to see about getting a box fan or two. The main floor (one-storey w/basement home) is about 1,060 sqft, and has windows on all sides that can open. There are a bunch of ceiling fans, too, but I don't think those would make a difference. I'll keep the windows open and the air exchange in the furnace running the whole time people are inside, and then we'll likely give it an hour or two afterward before we go back in without masks.

Recent polls don't paint a good picture for O'Toole (new Conservative leader). It's anticipated that the Liberals are itching for an election to try and return themselves to majority government, and right now, it looks possible that they'd get their wish. I don't think they'll call it until fall, however, unless the oppositions parties force it. Trudeau Liberals surge ahead over Conservatives, as O'Toole's favourability dips across the spectrum, poll suggests WWW.HILLTIMES.COM Though the poll suggested that Liberals were the 'clear favourites' to preside over a majority, the temptation of provoking parties into triggering an election may be dampened by concerns about the spread of more contagious, deadlier variants, which have been steadily driving up infection rates and ICU admissions of late.

Yeah it will probably be between 5 and 15C at that time (41 and 59F), so we can keep the windows open while anyone else is inside, and we can wait outside or in the car. We take possession on the 16th, and that day we'll have a locksmith, internet tech, and blinds guy over (staggered). Then, 3 days later, the movers will move all our stuff. We won't be present except to open the door to both places. Same thing, windows open, etc, and we'll be outside and away from them. I know that we're learning more and more that it's hard to catch COVID-19 from surfaces (though we're going to do a cleaning anyway, since it's a new place), but how long is it thought to stay circulating in the air? Like, if we leave the house alone (with open windows) for an hour or two, I assume we'd be fine to go back inside without masks? We have an air exchange as well which we'll keep running.

My city is the worst-hit spot in North America for B.1.1.7, with near-full lockdowns and still-rising cases, and I take possession of my house in two weeks and will need to have movers inside, people to hook up utilities, etc.

Yep:

I liked his tweet from a while ago where he said Daniel Craig might have different accents in each film, but the movies would never explain it.

I agree. I think there is something morally wrong (and legally) about a 30-year-old sleeping with a 16-year-old (difference in life experience, brain development, wisdom of consent, manipulation, being evolutionarily sexually matured but not emotionally, etc), but it's also not the same as a 30-year-old sleeping with an 8-year-old.

Um

Wow, those are some big moves. I wonder what Johnson thinks. Probably doesn't care considering the payday he's going to have.

Exactly. And you can have more than one train on the tracks. You could have a train that goes back and forth non-stop, and another that makes stops.

The issue with any large-scale project in the US is that landowners have far too many rights to delay things. Some random guy with a shed in the desert could stop a maglev train project for years.

The more I hear about how great this is, the more I need to settle with the fact that the GOP + Machin will kill it.

Hmm maybe Tucker was there.

Two medical-grade, one cloth.

Also, generally speaking, there are almost no differences in government regulations or intrusions into the lives of Canadians compared to Americans. If anything, our system actually makes it easier to take risks like starting or expanding a business. The data shows this, with income/class mobility in Canada being higher than the US. Both countries have intrusions that the other lacks. In Canada a large number of those involve how employers can treat employees (on the side of the employee). In the US, a large number of those involve how a woman can or can't control her body. Personally, if choosing which produces less stress, I'd choose Canada. I get the point sbl is making, but I think reality actually supports that the US has a lot of laws and rules that result in more government control than in Canada. Heck, just look at drug laws. There are going to be situations where one or the other is better, but both are pretty similar.

Is this a Facebook share, or did you just type it?

Reasons to wear a mask, even if vaccinated: If your area still has a mask mandate (most places in North America, currently) If you don't want to cause anxiety in other people (who won't know you are vaccinated) That's it, and both are important and valid reasons.

Honestly the most surprising part of this twist is that it was a 17-year-old girl. I just assumed it would have been his "son."
