No charges for CHSLD Herron
There will be no criminal charges against the owners of now‑closed CHSLD Herron over 47 Covid deaths early in the pandemic.
Doctors in Quebec (and no doubt elsewhere) are losing patience with vaccination resisters, as hospitals are once again forced to delay other procedures to keep Covid patients alive, most of whom have not been vaccinated.
Public health is warning that we’ll see a surge in Covid in response to school starting up again. Schools will become risky as many students between 12 and 17 have not been vaccinated.
Hearings begin in Quebec City Thursday over mandatory vaccination for health workers.
Daily Hive obligingly presents a list of activities you can do without a vaccine passport.

And every student under 12 hasn’t been vaccinated either.

Thanks, Daily Hive, a list of activities I don’t want to do! Weird that spas are exempted.

Libraries and museums are odd too, although I don’t think they’ll be much taken advantage of by the anti-vax crowd. I suspect “spas and saunas” fall into a semi-medical essential category.

I can see why libraries might get exempted, museums seems unnecessary, especially as school groups are automatically exempted. Real shame about the massages, I would otherwise like one.

I’m not really a spa person, but I’ve enjoyed a couple of visits I’ve made to Bota Bota. I wasn’t planning on going again anytime soon, but I did inquire and they said they were not requiring vaccination (for workers or customers). It’s such a physical experience that I can’t imagine feeling at ease there in a sauna or pool with possibly unvaccinated strangers, or getting a treatment from a possibly unvaccinated masseuse.
