Land Border Opening?

[newdeal]

I suspect Texas will be next. Did you see the stadium where the Jays played

unlikely, Michigan had amongst the tightest restrictions. Places with less cases previously are going to have more now it really comes down to that. 20% vaccinated sounds great but it still means 80% susceptible. Texas has way more natural immunity by people getting infected before the worse variants started spreading

Wow, 317,000 vaccinations in Canada today!

Looks like being fully vaccinated could come even sooner. Lately they've been saying we could all be fully vaccinated by end of September. Now it could be by Labour day or before:

Just over 360,000 vaccinations yesterday. That means probably just a little less than 1% of the population got their first dose yesterday:

COVID-19 Tracker Canada - Vaccination Tracker (covid19tracker.ca)

Hopefully that brings you to the correct page. Also the following page shows Canada on a fantastic trajectory compared to the US, although the more people that get vaccinated, the slower progress will be. Just look at Israel and UK as examples. Canada isn't part of the initial list, you need to add it if you look on the left hand side of the page. Type in Canada and check the box.

https://ourworldindata.org/covid-vaccinations
I think with our current vaccination rate and the current lockdowns going on, we'll see some serious progress dealing with the current wave. Canada is expected to receive a lot of extra doses shortly so as long as the population keeps getting their vaccinations we should be in a very good position soon.

Edit: One more webpage for you. I google searched Israel and although they had a few more cases yesterday than average, no deaths:

Disney World December is my hope!!!!

February Busch Gardens Tampa is my hope.

March at the Poly is my hope!!! Come on vaccines, do your thing!!

Recently our Premier (NB) mentioned 75% vaccinated as the rate when which we can all take a breath and have a much closer to normal life. I'm hoping the US border might be a part of that as I know he is negotiations now for more vaccines from Maine in the promise of opening the border faster. Dr. Tam mentioned 75% today too as her goal for a more normal summer. Feeling hopeful for next spring.

I think it's 75% with one shot, 20% fully vaccinated, start reopening things. But if less than 55% of people get any shots, likely recurrence in the fall. So let's hope people get vaccinated.

It is going to be very interesting to see what percentage of Canadians get vaccinated.

She also said mid July to august . I’m at my breaking point I can’t do this until august . And another wave in the fall when I’m supposed to send my kid to a hot spot for school?? Seriously debating heading south and hunkering down down there at this point.

I hope that the big jump when it opened to 40+ is indicitive of those younger people being eager and willing to get it. Considering how fast those appointments booked up, I'm hopeful.

I do agree though with @TammyLynn33, doing this until August is going to be HARD. I hope we see improvements and things opening back up well before then

Until children can get vaccinated I have a hard time seeing vaccination rates to be where we want them to be.

 

[bcwife76]

NACI is now recommending opening up AZ vaccinations to 30+. Wonder which provinces will follow suit? Right now BC is running out of supply and will have exhausted our entire supply by next week sometime.

Just curious what you mean by heading south if you can share? As a family we thought about leaving Canada for few months, with work and school online we could wait this out somewhere else. In theory... then I panic. I hear you though, my entire family is at our breaking point too, or near it, if come end of June we are still told nothing changes, continue with all public health measures, don’t play sports, don’t socialize, don’t travel (I’m talking locally even) etc etc - that will be my own breaking point. Trying hard to stay strong and positive for my kids... they are not stupid though. Even if we are, everything out there is negative. And while I’m not the jealous type I am very envious of my friends that live in the States (some in FL and some in NC)... yes they are still wearing masks but vaccinated and trying to live with covid until it’s no longer a pandemic. It’s a huge difference in mood and while light is at the end of the tunnel here too, those few more months for us will be hardest.

I'm thinking our best bet would be what we had last summer. At this point I will take it.

I think supply will be the issue at this point for AZ. I am sure if we had it, they would open it up. Of course we also have still got 40+ people on waiting lists to get it so... maybe they'll wait for that to die down? who knows any more...

@NewYKRunner I believe Pfizer has applied with Health Canada to get approval for use in 12 - 16 year olds. Hopefully soon on that.

Then we have a real problem because a lot of parents have no desire to vaccinate their kids for the time being. Parents and adults will get it (including ourselves) but I keep hearing most often no for the kids.

I'll be getting it for my son, he's on board. I mean he's vaccinated against everything else so I don't see the big difference here.

Same. My 12 yr old (13 in August) says she absolutely wants to take it and both my husband and I have no qualms about it. Our youngest is still 10 (11 in November) so who knows when she will get it.
