I woke up very tired, achy, sore throat, cough, sneezy etc. Couldn’t really taste breakfast this morning.
I called right at 08:30 to book a drive thru test and they called back within a few minutes. Got me in for 09:45 time slot. Can’t eat or drink within an hour.
just woke up from a 2 hour nap and got a text saying result is negative... I guess she’s just a bad cook!
this was a true story except for the breakfast joke. I actually had no problem tasting the gruel she made me today.

If this isn't a canary in a coal mine I dont know what is. 60 to 70% of Yukon has had their second dose.
Parents are being told to keep children home from daycare for two weeks, and an outbreak has been declared at the Whitehorse Emergency Shelter as Yukon continues to experience its "first true wave" of COVID-19.
Dr. Brendan Hanley, Yukon's chief medical officer of health, reported 44 new cases — the majority in Whitehorse — over the weekend, in a press release Sunday evening,
"COVID-19 is being widely transmitted throughout Yukon, primarily affecting unvaccinated people and is now present in most Yukon communities," Hanley said in the press release.

He characterized the situation as Yukon's "first true wave" of COVID-19.
As of Sunday evening, there were 124 active cases of COVID-19 in the territory, with 44 of them reported since Friday afternoon.
Yukon has had a total of 308 cases since the start of the pandemic. Nearly two-thirds of those cases have been reported in the past month, with a Whitehorse-based outbreak associated with high school graduation events and parties the main source of infections.
Hanley's recommendation for parents to keep children home from child care programs — not including day camps — comes after several day cares have become COVID-19 exposure locations. One Whitehorse daycare has had at least four children test positive for COVID-19 so far, with some parents concerned about the fact that it took days between the news spreading by word-of-mouth and a formal notice and recommendations coming from health officials.
Yukon hospitals will also be tightening measures for at least two weeks in the wake of the first wave. Yukoners are asked to only go to hospital emergency departments if they need urgent care and, beginning June 28, no visitors or support people will be allowed in with limited exceptions. As well, some non-urgent services, including surgeries or appointments for lab tests, may be postponed, and anyone entering a hospital will be subject to COVID-19 screen questions and will also have to wear a hospital-provided mask.

15 cases at shelter; hospitals for urgent care only
Meanwhile, approximately 15 cases of COVID-19 have been confirmed among Whitehorse Emergency Shelter staff and guests, according to Sunday's press release. The shelter has a COVID-19 operational plan in place, is working with health officials to "ensure practices align with the evolving COVID-19 situation," and is offering COVID-19 testing to staff and guests on an ongoing basis.Yukon hospitals will also be tightening measures for at least two weeks in the wake of the first wave. Yukoners are asked to only go to hospital emergency departments if they need urgent care and, beginning June 28, no visitors or support people will be allowed in with limited exceptions.

COVID-19: No mask needed for indoor public spaces from July 1, as pandemic fizzles in B.C.
The COVID-19 pandemic is fizzling out in B.C. as the provincial health officer prepares to lift more restrictions on Canada Day — giving people a choice of whether to wear a mask in public indoor settings.All this good news means B.C. will move into Step 3 of the four-step restart plan on July 1.
Step 3 will see a return to normal indoor and outdoor personal gatherings, fairs and festivals can be held, casinos and nightclubs can reopen and all indoor fitness classes are allowed.
There will still be restrictions on the numbers of people allowed in casinos and nightclubs and other public safety measures, however masks will no longer have to be worn in public indoor spaces.

To be honest the mask wearing I kind of got used to, until the heat this week. It just feels so suffocating.

I hope grocery stores keep the mask going. I don’t like people coughing on produce. Other than that, I could care less for masks
Got my second moderna jab yesterday. Feeling better than after my first poke. A little bit nauseous but I’m fine. I think the key is to drink a ton of water. After my first shot, I was a mess for like 4-5 days

I actually kind of enjoyed the mask - I could walk around quietly telling myself jokes and laughing without anyone realizing just how insane I am.
Seriously though I do often walk around smiling just because I'm naturally cheerful.
But any hopes of a convincing mask of sanity were dashed by the beard, anyway.

Someone told me that supposedly if you were hurting after the first that means you had the vid. Hurting after the second, no vid.

just thought this deserves mentioning as almost no one batted a lash at this. To put this I. Perspective 1750 people on bc have died of COVID.
In B.C., at least 486 sudden deaths were reported over five days during the province's heat wave, the BC Coroners Service said Wednesday.
