Oh yeah, there have been MLAs and MPs from pretty much every province/party. I only pointed out the UCP in Alberta because they had the highest %. Also because Jason Kenney knew about the travel and let it happen, and has only now kicked them from their posts because they were caught.

Apparently there is some concern that the new South African variant may not be prevented by the vaccine due to mutations in the spike protein? Nothing confirmed yet, only that it has a lot of mutations in that area, which is what the vaccine targets. So just concern at this point.

Alberta has the worst government in Canada, it's not even close. A bunch of their cabinet ministers were just caught traveling over Christmas to Hawaii and other places, as well.

For being contagious? Or before showing symptoms? It seems that people typically begin to show symptoms 5 to 10 days after being exposed, and become contagious in roughly the same time frame (and are often contagious prior to showing symptoms).

Realistically, millions have already received the vaccine, so random deaths (for unrelated reasons) are to be expected in the population, but should be looked into.

Then politicians will campaign through the "silicon belt" and go on and on about "bringing real American tech jobs back, just like our grandpappies!"

I don't want to get too excited, but based on the huge early turnout (with higher than ever black and youth early vote), the GOP would need to beat their 2020 in-person turnout by something like 300,000 votes in order to pull this off. Still just crossing my fingers.

Hundreds of Google Employees Unionize, Culminating Years of Activism - The New York Times WWW.NYTIMES.COM The creation of the union, a rarity in Silicon Valley, follows years of increasing outspokenness by Google workers. Executives have struggled to handle the change.
