    Following the CDC decision, the NHL is reducing its Covid isolation period to five days. I can’t make out whether this reduction is based on science or on fatalism propelled by capitalism.

    Santé Québec had a fiasco with the testing system Wednesday, when its computer system suddenly cancelled a lot of appointments. And rapid tests are now unavailable.

    There are multiple outbreaks in CHSLDs and other old-age care homes around Quebec. And now health workers with Covid will be expected to work.

    I think we got a bad copy of this game. All the cards say “Déjà Vu, draw again.”

      Strangely, my parents got a call from their pharmacist and were able to pick some RATs today.

      With infected nurses being forced to work, can we now say Legault was right to be scared of them? /s .

      These clowns never fail to disappointment me.

      There is some discussion of these issues here.

      So when the science points to needing more restrictions, the mantra is ‘follow the science’ but when the science points to needing less restrictions, then the science is deemed suspect. Interesting.

      Hilarious that we fired about 500 health care workers that didn’t want to be vaccinated/tested, but now the known-infected are forced to work.

      Does the science point to reducing restrictions, Chris?

    A 17-year-old boy is in critical condition after getting shot in Cartierville on Tuesday evening.

      Park Extension has waited a long time to get an agreed pedestrian train crossing near Parc metro, and it’s finally officially open.

        I used it yesterday. 5/5 could cross

        I predict excellent Trip Advisor comments for the crossing.

        qatzelok, if you lived around here you’d understand why this is a significant concession by CP and an improvement for the neighbourhood.

        Not a concession, they were forced to open it following a 2019 binding arbitration decision from the Canadian Transportation Agency.

        Thank you, SMD.
