Fizzzzle Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 In Portland, I'd say we're like 90% back to "normal," and I don't know how much more we'll get to beyond lifting the mask mandate. Restaurants and bars are allowed to stay open till 2:30 again, but a lot of them just don't want to, and that doesn't seem like it's going to change any time soon. A lot of businesses have just closed altogether. I think it'll be another 3-5 years before things are fully back to the way they were before.

So things may be more back to normal for you as a person, but clearly the state itself is failing in controlling the spread and resulting deaths as a result of its policy. Comparing death rates /100k: Texas - 0.68 Saskatchewan - 0.38 Ontario - .027 The death rate in my county is way lower than that, and lower than SK and Ontario too. But historical numbers aren’t important in my current daily life. It isn’t vaccinated people kicking the bucket now. 1 hour ago, skillzdadirecta said: We're required to wear masks in every indoor space where I am including the hallways and lobby of my apartment building so no... we're not "back to normal" here.

Air_Delivery Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 One thing I noticed is that fast food joints will randomly not be open even though its still business hours. I'm guessing worker shortage is hitting all shit jobs hard everywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbsolutSurgen Posted October 18, 2021 Author Share Posted October 18, 2021 Restaurants are at 50% capacity here. I need to sign a document that my kids have no COVID symptoms every morning. I need to sign a declaration that I have no symptoms to enter the office. I need to wear a mask in all inside areas. My wife’s family had our Thanksgiving dinner as a picnic in the park, because even though everyone over the age of 12 was vaccinated, people were too scared to do it inside. Things aren’t normal here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one thing I'm not clear on is if you didn't get Moderna for the first two, will you get a full Moderna dose or a half-dose like for the people who already got two Modernas? Because I think the mix and match study was looking at people who received a full Moderna dose after J&J or Pfizer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

69los Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 My bar trivia night has been back for the past month and I was there day one. I've missed it so much. It's just mentally pleasing to be there. If you're sitting, you don't have to wear masks. If you're standing/ordering at the bar, you do. Unfortunately, they got rid of my street tacos when they homogenized their menu to be more bbq/burgers. All they really need are the tortillas though since I only ate the carnitas. They got rid of their cheap/specials menu but I actually don't mind putting money into the bar. Hopefully, it comes back though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbsolutSurgen Posted October 19, 2021 Author Share Posted October 19, 2021 The most vaccinated state in the US, Vermont, has 70% of its population fully vaccinated. The only Canadian provinces that are less vaccinated than that are Saskatchewan and Alberta -- both at 65%. The only US states above 65% are Conneticut (69%), Maine (69%), Maryland (65%), Massachusetts (68%), New Jersey (65%), New York (65%), Rhode Island (69%), Vermont (70%). So the North East is basically the US's version of Alberta -- you guys are fucked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's in response to Absolut's post, then he was referring to total population, whereas this article is referring to adults. If we're talking eligible population, then: Eligible population fully vaccinated (12+). This data is a week old, so it's probably about 1% higher now, for each: Quebec - 85.8% Newfoundland & Labrador - 85.5% Prince Edward Island - 85.5% Nova Scotia - 83.6% Manitoba - 83.5% Ontario - 82.1% British Columbia - 82.0% Canada Total - 81.9% New Brunswick - 80.5% Saskatchewan - 75.0% Alberta - 74.4% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
