Mask mandate lifted as of May 14
As heavily presaged already in the media, Quebec’s indoor mask mandate will be lifted as of May 14 except for health care settings and public transit.
Today’s Santé Québec numbers show 30 Covid deaths reported over the last 24 hours.

There are a dozen variants circulating in Quebec right now, with the most prevalent being BA2.
Omicron and Delta aren’t even on the list anymore…

Thanks jeather! I didn’t realize that at all.

My friend texted me, because I kept wavering about going to a walk-in clinic (apparently some are more picky). She saw it on twitter; there hasn’t been an announcement. It appears to be a very recent update.

It should come with a ruling of automatic 10 years in prison for anyone harassing someone who chooses to still wear a mask.

Absolutely Blork. The crossing guard for my daughter’s school says he was getting at least one harrassing comment a day while standing out there in a mask which he is required for his job to wear. Just infuriating.

I knew who Marie-Mai was (is?)! Do I get points?

Got my 4th dose yesterday. They allowed me to choose between Pfizer and Moderna.

My wife and I went today to get ours since she has health problems. The triage nurse made a big deal about whether I wanted Pfizer or Moderna as if it was Coke vs. Pepsi. I told her to sign me up for whatever her professional opinion thought was best. I’ve read some stuff from Science News about the difference but who the fuck am I to be making decisions about it? The nurse who jabbed me made a point of pointing at the label on the needle that said “Pfizer” and when I asked her why she did they she said that a lot of people are anxious about what exactly they’re being injected with, but then said “but it’s just a sticker, it doesn’t actually tell you what’s in it”. So much mistrust and self-doctoring going on.
