It actually made me very sad to see people younger than me in the cancer ward during my treatment and medical appointments.

Youths, kids and everything in between was heartbreaking.

Back in 2015 I used to stay with my mum in the hospital during the last few weeks of her life (cancer).
I remember this one time I saw this little kid (maybe 4 or 5 years of age) running around happily and laughing etc.

All that came to an abrupt end when they caught the kid, forced chemo / injection into the kid - all while the kid was crying etc.
Damn ninjas cutting onions at the time...I had to walk away as I couldn't hold it in.

Times like those make me wonder if there really is a God.

Boxers have short hair, easy to keep clean (easy to spot tics), I use no tears baby shampoo on mine and people have actually said my dog smells good :LOL:
Boxers go around the mud puddles that Labs roll in, but Boxers do need a life jacket to swim. Every one has a very unique personality.

My Uncle had a boxer when I was growing up. Ugliest thing you ever saw. Had been shot, and had a huge scar/lump on its side from that. Had been hit with an axe on the head and had a weird skull shape and marled eye. Drooled all the time. Was my favorite pal, and it loved me, others not so much. Have pics from the early 60s of me and him. Still miss him after almost 60 years.

Good questions. I understand new home builds are essential, everything else isnt.

But that hole in my roof, leak in my pipes or short in my panel is essential.

Anyway the announcement is idiotic...no leaving house for non essentials, but 5 person limit in gathering outside....wtf?

What comes first, the chicken or the egg?

If the roof or plumbing repair is necessary so are the supplies and the trip to get them.

The new build argument that would be hard to win is for a new restaurant.

I hear they can't pour footings or foundation walls :unsure: guess you are good to go if you are building slab on grade.

If the hole is there IMO you need to do the footings and foundation walls. A buddy was having an addition put on a few years ago. Just after the hole was dug it rained buckets and the sides collapsed.

I would also want something to tie the top of the foundation together so the first floor goes on.
 
Brampton is at 350 new cases per week per 100,000 residents and climbing fast (last week was 280). USA average is about 525 new cases per week per 100,000. I know, comparing the average of the US to a Canadian urban centre is not exactly correct but it was more to provide a relative magnitude.

Peel’s hospital system ‘on brink of catastrophe’ as positivity rate tops 17 per cent in Brampton: Loh

Nearly one out of every five COVID-19 tests conducted in Brampton is now coming back positive and Peel’s top public health official says that it has become clear that we are seeing a “holiday surge at the worst possible time.”

they will send overflow to other hospitals
until they are all full, then you will be trying to figure out how to make that iron lung if you need it

In general places with higher density in apartment buildings and even worse yet more people per household (SFU or MDU) will have a higher infection rate. Imagine a household with one or two working adults mostly online vs one with maybe 5 or more that are working jobs they need to go to.... Pockets of Toronto and other regions are having the same issue. In most cases people are just doing what they need to do but their situation is creating the risk.

Bingo, easy to assume a majority of the population in said areas are traditionally multi generational homes.

They were leap-frogging to leave space. Orillia was getting a lot of covid patients from the grey zone leaving room at hospitals further south as presumably they would organically fill sooner.

I'm not blaming the brampton people (for the most part) as I suspect your are mostly correct.

The Peel MoH was saying this was a holiday spike though, which would likely make the jump substantially related to avoidable behaviour (either Toronto travelling to the Outlet mall to shop and infecting staff or people congregating on their days off).

The base rate of 280 would be related to the living arrangements. Obviously, it would escalate from organic growth but I do not know where they are on the curve to know if they would have been at 290 or 340 without the holidays.
 
So now the province has admitted that at least some hospitals f'd up prioritizing the vaccine. Some hospitals are still playing with BS excuses like we vaccinated our whole work from home executive team because otherwise we would have had to throw that vaccine out. I say throw the executive team out, they are incapable of effective leadership.

'Speed trumps perfection,' Hillier says of non-frontline hospital staff getting precious COVID-19 vaccine doses

The head of Ontario’s COVID-19 vaccination task force says hospitals gave some doses to non-frontline staff, even people who work from home, because it was better to do that than to let the doses expire, and it may continue to happen.

At this rate there will be those sad stories about dead people being stored away in trucks
:cry:

Those poor medical professionals.
 
Meanwhile in Toronto, which has theoretically been in lockdown for what seems like forever, everyone get and vote Friday because we need an election to replace Jimmy K after he got caught with his hand in the cookie jar.

Ward 22 byelection in Scarborough-Agincourt deemed ‘essential,’ will proceed as planned Friday, city says

A byelection being held to find a new Ward 22 councillor will proceed as planned despite the fact that it is scheduled to be held a day after a provincial stay-at-home order goes into effect.

In a perfect world antibody tests should be conducted first and the vaccine given to those that have none....

Maybe but I don't think so. If you had it badly before, you remember and you probably have a pile of antibodies. If you didn't have it badly, you may have insufficient antibodies so you need the shot to improve resistance.
