    You're late to the party. Here in Alberta the pandemic ended a couple of days ago. Kenny told me so.

    shit. our premier just announced that the pandemic is over. Mar 1st no more vaxxed cards, no need for close contacts to self isolate, Mar 15 no more masks. 
    Isn’t that a good thing?
    The virus decides these things, not politicians. I'm a bit wary of "mission accomplished" at this juncture. our test positivity rate is way down, our hospital/ICU admissions are holding steady/decreasing slightly. I don't think this is a great idea for our health care system. Maybe wait until it's warm enough out that people are congregating outside (mid april/may). We're still sometimes at arctic temps in Winnipeg in March. 
    Think it’s (an announcement about the future) being rushed to appease the truckers a little?

    What's your take- good idea?  Too soon? 
    Seems a bit overly optimistic to me. 
    I'm definitely more of a mind to wait at least until warmer weather when all viruses subside.

    no. this was the plan all along before the trucker convoy was even started. the plan was always spring for Manitoba. I just wasn't expecting a firm date to be announced this early.

    Massachusetts' mask mandate for schools expires on Feb. 28.

    Take that, Manitoba!

    It's not "mission accomplished"  unless you are speaking for the virus...

    It's the white flag.  And it's coming out all over...and in reality it's the logical next step as far to many people already waived it for the rest of us.

    To live between waves, quick decisions are required. I'm optimistic BC might open up for music venues next week. This didnt happen today while I hit the hill with the latest batch Ed cooked up for us?

    have a regular stop for "lunch" at a Hardee's within a Loves truck stop. Still masking but they opened up all tables where they did have every other one closed and all condiments,  napkins and cup lids are back out.

    guessing 25% or less customers masking.

    In most of the US the masking, etc is over. It just is what it is, so the learning to live with it is the obvious next step. Cause it’s what we have to do

    What do you need for it to be over? The US is probably about 3 weeks from getting back to pre-Omicron surge levels. After that it'll likely drop even more, and then we wait and see if there's another variant that's more virulent. Even outside of that, depending on where you are, there aren't any restrictions, or soon to be removed restrictions.

    US buys 600K doses of new COVID antibody awaiting clearance
    By RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVAR
    10 Feb 2022

    WASHINGTON (AP) — Addressing diminished treatment options in the omicron wave, the Biden administration has purchased enough of a yet-to-be approved antibody drug to treat 600,000 COVID-19 patients, officials said Thursday.

    The new monoclonal antibody from pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly will be shipped out to states free of charge if the Food and Drug Administration approves the company's request for emergency use authorization, said Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra. “We are going to try to be there to meet the demand,” he added.

    The government's move comes after the two leading monoclonal antibody treatments in the U.S. turned out to be ineffective against the omicron variant, which now accounts for nearly all COVID-19 cases in the country. Data indicate that the Lilly drug works against omicron, including the new BA.2 mutation. Lilly said the contract for its new drug — bebtelovimab — is worth at least $720 million. That name is pronounced “beb-teh-LO-vi-mab.”

    Laboratory-made monoclonal antibodies stand in for the human body's immune system by acting to block an invading virus. Delivered intravenously or by injection, the medicines are meant to be administered early in an infection to forestall severe disease and death. Former President Donald Trump received an antibody combination after he tested positive for the coronavirus in 2020.

    I’ll take a hard pass…fuck big pharma… Learn to live with the virus or not Mandate yourself, wear a n95 mask.. That’s freedom of choice… Your fear is not my fear. And you never wore a mask in flu season, even though you knew it would help…you are wearing mask because you are told..

    What is your trip, dude?  Trash every thread on AMT with stupid one-shot twitter posts?  Are you just lazy or do you really not have thoughts and opinions of your own?

    Awhile back HFD and Mickeyrat (thanks again, best advice ever) explained to me about trolling (you know before I was so savvy about social media) and I learned to ignore it.  Maybe that lesson applies here?
