Oh well, I'll just go to the Vaxx clinic and talk to a person. Get there and the clinic is closed till tomorrow, however there was an actual phone number on the door. Write it down and go home to make a call. Make a call, wait 5 minutes and get through to an actual person, I think. Go through the whole, this is who I am, here is all my data/numbers, routine. I could feel real progress being made, until I said where I live. They can book me into multiple places Comox or Cumberland or Nanaimo, but nothing in Powell River. Not only nothing in Powell River but they have no idea when something might open up. So I get told to try again in a few days. lol. I wonder if my doctor will sign off on a Travel Assistance Pass, thus making my ferry ride free? I'm going to give it a week then see. Really hoping the Omi targeted vaxx is available. I would go back to the clinic again. You might get lucky. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brilac Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 4 hours ago, Sophomore Jinx said: Canada ending requirements for COVID-19 vaccines, ArriveCan app at border Sept. 30 (msn.com) Canada ending requirements for COVID-19 vaccines, ArriveCan app at border Sept. 30 OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has agreed to let a cabinet order enforcing mandatory COVID-19 vaccination requirements at the Canadian border expire at the end of this month. Canada ending requirements for COVID-19 vaccines, ArriveCan app at border Sept. 30© Provided by The Canadian Press The decision was confirmed by two senior government sources, who spoke to The Canadian Press on the condition they not be named because they were not authorized to speak publicly. The change will also bring an end to COVID-19 border testing, which is currently mandatory for unvaccinated international travellers and random for those who are vaccinated. Tourism Minister Randy Boissonnault would not confirm the decision Thursday afternoon, but he said if the order is allowed to expire, that would also eliminate the only mandatory component for the ArriveCan app. "So the mandatory piece is the vaccine piece, and because that's how people prove it through the ArriveCan, that's how the order is written, from what I remember," he said on his way into a cabinet meeting. ArriveCan began as a way for travellers to report their vaccination status and provide pre-departure test results to the Canada Border Services Agency. But it has morphed into a digitized border arrival tool, and now people flying into certain airports can use it to fill out their customs and immigration form instead of the paper version. Cabinet first ordered international travellers to be vaccinated against COVID-19 a year ago, and has renewed that order about every three months. The latest version will expire Sept. 30 and will not be renewed. The sources say the full cabinet does not need to sign off on a decision to let an existing order expire. One of them confirmed Trudeau has signed off on the plan. The federal government is still deciding whether to maintain the requirement for passengers to wear face masks on trains and airplanes. That rule is not contained in the same cabinet order as the border vaccine requirement, but rather is a ministerial order given by the minister of Transport. It's about time. Even though I am vaccinated and with a booster, the ArriveCan app, random Covid testing, and inadequate bus times to and from Vancouver were the reasons why I did not travel to Vancouver and back to Seattle. And knowing me, I would probably forget about entering my information into the app within the time frame and/or over think it, such as - is it three days, like Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, or is that 72 hours? Also I heard that the train service to Vancouver and back to Seattle is going to resume. Now only if the bus and/or train service had later Vancouver depart times such as 8pm-9pm, that would be great as well as earlier arrival times to Vancouver.

Ghostsof1915 Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 I was at Canadian Tire tonight. Some flat earther, was rambling to the girl at customer service how masks don't work, and the vaccines make you more likely to get Covid. I couldn't even be bothered to give him stink eye. I just felt sorry for the cashiers. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if you got a false positive? the new booster really seems to pack a kick, I know several folks who've had 3+ days of reaction to it.

It's been going through my school for a couple weeks and on Monday the district packed 2500 of us in a gym for an indigenous pro-d day, so I'm not surprised. I thought about the shot, but Ive got a pretty serious cough and congestion, which I don't think would come with a reaction to the shot. I think I'm over the hump, but I had a few pretty rough days 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too weird that we both timed our shots perfectly to also get covid we got lucky, so far not that bad, my wife is already over it so we must have got a pretty weak strain.

I'm now on day five and in a third phase of this thing and my gf got hit last night and is confined to bed........and she's been sick twice in the 12 years we've been together. Day 1-2 - started with feeling off and quickly grew to a severe headache, fever and then a severe cough and congrstion. Day 3-4 - fever, heavy brain fog, deep body aches, head congestion, but the cough eases off a bit Day 5 (today) - cough is easing off, not as stuffed up but the brain fog is unreal.......everything feels kind of surreal and my brain won't lete sleep for more than an hour or two at a time and though my body is pretty run down, I can't nap or get a good rest. It's been relentless for 5 days and that's with a steady 12 hour cycle of cold and flu meds, which make a huuuge difference. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me its been body aches and sweating like a mo-fo at night, with that interrupted sleep thing you're taking about. Congestion isn't too bad. Feel like I'm heading out the other end of this this am. One weird thing, I'm really hungry but don't have an appetite if that makes sense, just don't have any cravings for food whatsoever. Have to force down the chow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to force myself to eat so I've got SE energy to fight it, but I really have to force it down.
