    Got a text yesterday morning from a co-workers saying he had tested positive. 
    Got myself tested by 11:15 a.m. and at just after  10 p.m. got my negative results. PHEW!

    That's a pretty quick turn around time for the results! Where is this?

    I was surprised as well but when I got to the drive-up testing are there was 1 other car.
    So maybe a slow testing day in the Midwest.

    That is the rapid test. I took that once and got my results within 2 hours.

    With Canada requiring this test for entry, I looked into how easy it would be to obtain after a San Diego cruise which I had rebooked last March to this upcoming March. They give results to passengers on debarkment. (I read the 40 page pdf on their new conditional sailing provisions.) Anyhow this is quick result time too, for a PCR test!

    I had to decide: Eat the airfare, and not travel; travel and hope for the best; or get covid prior to trip. 

    Fortunately, the airline did another about turn and gave me a new credit, non-expiring, and transferable! I quickly rebooked the Disney Cruise again to Spring 2022 and will look forward to a land/sea vacation snorkling and Snuba off the British Virgin Islands. Here's to fingers crossed for Plan C which has me smiling!

    My brother is a chef in a care home.  On this  coming Wednesday he will be getting the Oxford vaccine im proud . On a negative  a neighbour who has was disabled from birth and in an iron lung as a kid is in hospital with covid.  This is like the hunger games. I won't be eligible for months so I just keep saying 1 more day in hell.

    Now the line to get vaccinated is getting longer & longer, I was lucky to get it done this past Saturday but people in my office have to travel to other sites to get vaccinated! Some of these sites don’t have any openings till next December..

    Our facility is providing the first dose this Saturday. We got an email today that said that our numbers were trending in the right direction, so we are modifying operations and can start wearing cloth masks again after being required to wear N-95 masks for the past month.

    I don't know how this country  organises anything.  Brexit=shambles
    Covid=disastrous 
    Our vaccine roll out is just not good enough like most things this government  do.

    ^I feel very sad for health workers rationing care and supplies. This is yet another reason for all of us to do our part!

    You can travel to Florida and get the vaccine.  Canadians who spend the winter in Florida are getting vaccinated in Florida.
