Deadly accidents down over holidays
A beneficial side effect of lockdown: this holiday period had fewer serious road accidents than in years.
Has anyone reading this even had a cold since March?

Colds are definitely still circulating through daycares…

I was thinking about that just last week. Household of 4 and not a single cold since last February.

Yes, everybody who had kids got sick in September.

True enough, no kids here. Thanks for reminding me of that fact of life!

My jobs require me to be out in the public a lot and I’ve still managed not to get a single cold or flu since the pandemic started.

I have kids and nobody in our household has had a cold in months.
I had *something* in the late spring, but I think I’ve developed allergies to whatever trees are at my in-laws’ home.
There are hardly any reports of Influenza across Canada this year, but Quebec has the lowest level of testing in the country. Which is weird, because the combo tests for Influenza and Covid started being used in November.
So I suspect the bureaucrat in charge of that fax machine forgot to reload paper or something.

There’s this double track, where many Montrealers are thrilled to not have to work and/or to be allowed to work from home . . . but at the same time, take a special pride in shaming those who have different lifestyles.

And by different lifestyles, I mean that they’re not staying home at all times because, say, they need to work, or they have already had covid, or they’re just extroverted and can’t help themselves.

Like, avoiding a cold is super easy if you’re taking government cash or working from home, not so easy if you’re a person who actually has to work every day out of the home, or has had covid, or just will go crazy because if they stay home for five or ten months in a row because they’re not internet creeps like we are.

@david
My wife and I have never stopped working outside the home… but the “if you have the sniffles, stay home” rule has had a huge effect. That’s the one thing I hope continues once the pandemic is mostly over in a year or two.
