Oh. Right. He probably put evil chemicals in the vaccines too, so they hurt. Just for the lulz.

That bastard.

I meet him once for beers and tell him all the insane crap I'd do if I were 'Gates Rich' and he steals them all! Damned jerkface is what he is.
I've heard that they're putting upgrades into the vaccine for the eventual 6G technology.

Goddamit Dave....you're not supposed to tell anyone about 6G! Thats a secret!

Oh God Bill is going to be pissed! And I'm selling you out. I'm not covering for you again! Not this time!

Dropped into a DT pharmacy after lunch since booking is challenging this year for me (work schedule). No problem getting in but unfortunately only got the flu shot. Dude said they were out of the Covid booster, their initial supply had already been exhausted.

Given how very little I'm worth, don't expect a big payout. You probably wouldn't even get enough to buy a Turkish-made, children's Tylenol pill.

Got both flu and COVID shots this afternoon. I asked the nurse which version of Moderna they’re giving. She said it’s the bivalent which is the current one. I said that’s not the current one and I’d decline if it’s not the monovalent; cue dirty look from my wife. I declined, and she called a co-worker. They checked and I was correct. #feelingvindicated I didn’t correct her math when she said the flu vaccine at .7 is 30% more than .5.

the soonest we could get vaccinated at an AHS site is Nov 14. Are pharmacies quicker? If we just show up three weeks early and play dumb will they turn us away lol?

Got both today. Hit up the independent small pharmacies. Shorter wait usually.

I believe pharmacies are faster but you’ll pay. That’s what we were told.

Don't think that is the case. Last year was no charge and today (flu only) was not either. IIRC the RSV vaccine might be out of pocket but I'm pretty sure Covid and flu are not.

They had a clinic at work today so I got the double shot and was able to kill about an hour of work time while doing it.

The sore arm is just kicking in about 8 hours later.

No local pharmacy was able to take us right away but AHS could.

We’d have a $20 per person per visit.

Doctors and nurses are warning that Alberta's health system is already under strain as COVID-19 hospitalizations surge and the respiratory virus season has yet to kick into high gear.

Internal Alberta Health Services data obtained by CBC News shows the number of patients hospitalized with COVID-19 has surpassed 900 and has roughly doubled in about a month.
Quote:
"The concern for me is we're already hitting capacity issues and we're still relatively early on in the respiratory season," said Dr. Arun Abbi, president of the emergency medicine section with the Alberta Medical Association.

"The peak last year was about 1,500 to 1,600."
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calga...000171?cmp=rss

Can everyone please go get vaccinated to protect the vulnerable in their lives, and make sure your vulnerable loved ones don't slack off on this? I feel so bad for our HCW, it must feel like an endless slog for them.


And wear a damn mask if you are sick and have to go out.

Also really helpful the dashboard is 12 days out of date. Almost like they don't want us to be informed.

I've given up on that dashboard, while it lags by quite a few days I prefer the wastewater data for an idea of how things are going. I'm surprised we haven't seen a big bump in the Calgary area post Thanksgiving.
