johnny Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Well... I’ve come down sick. It might just be a regular cold though. I have a sore throat and nasal congestion and that’s it. Will be interesting to monitor. I’m actually having a video meeting with my doctor tomorrow for a different reason so I guess it’s good timing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fever and night sweats galore. Pediatrician said he’s seen a lot of it going around this late summer and heard similar from doctor friends in other parts of the country.

AbsolutSurgen Posted September 8, 2020 Author Share Posted September 8, 2020 Ontario halts reopening following spike in COVID-19 cases: 185 new cases as schools reopen across the province Quote Ontario is halting further reopening in the province, following a spike in confirmed COVID-19 cases, especially in Ottawa, Toronto and Brampton. .... Premier Doug Ford noted on Tuesday that three regions, or “hot areas” – Ottawa, Toronto and Brampton – were of particular concern. “If you add all those cases up, they’re the vast majority of the cases in the province. “It’s frustrating because it affects the rest of the province when everyone’s doing so well in small, small groups within communities, and Ottawa, Toronto and Brampton (has) the vast majority of the cases.” The premier wouldn’t say whether the province might revert to Stage 2 regulations in those three areas. “Just follow the guidelines,” he advised. “Don’t have these big parties. Don’t have these big family gatherings.” He urged neighbours to call the police on partiers, and police to lay charges. “We have to start putting the hammer down on people that don’t want to follow protocols and guidelines because it’s going to affect every single one of us.” Ford also expressed worry that newcomers to Canada and Ontario are not self-quarantining for the required two weeks, and promised action if people don’t comply. “If you aren’t sitting on your couch, we’re coming after you,” he said. Fuck Brampton/Toronto/Ottawa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThreePi Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 I was sick as a dog about a week ago. Fever (hit 104 at one point), sweats, chills, muscle aches. Was tested last week and came back negative, doctor has said it was probably just the flu. Definitely felt a lot worse than any time u had the flu in the past.

CitizenVectron Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Disney covering up cases, putting employees back to work while still infected. Quote On Aug. 2, Wilson alleged in a text message that just five days after he tested positive for COVID-19, Disney had cleared him to return to work. At this point, Wilson claimed he had not isolated the recommended 14 days, nor received a negative test result. Nevertheless, he wrote, he returned to work on Aug. 3. The following day, according to the text messages, two more members of the 12-person team had reportedly gone home, leaving just Wilson and one other worker. Not evil! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this blows up big enough in social media or the press it will come crashing down on the highest ranking person who “cleared” the employee(s), even if pressure to improperly clear somebody came from higher up. In other words the people most responsible won’t be held accountable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AbsolutSurgen Posted September 8, 2020 Author Share Posted September 8, 2020 Coronavirus: Social gatherings above six banned in England from 14 September Quote "It is absolutely critical that people now abide by these rules and remember the basics - washing your hands, covering your face, keeping space from others, and getting a test if you have symptoms." No 10 said any group of seven or more people gathering anywhere "risks being dispersed by police or fined for non-compliance". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The AstraZeneca/Oxford initiative is regarded as the most promising, most rigorous of all the current programs so taking this step when an unexpected situation arises -- which may be COMPLETELY unrelated to the vaccine itself -- is to be expected and not a cause for alarm.
