You have to believe the reason we are tops in the UK variant is all those UK snowbirds we get every year. The Canadians are using extraordinary tactics to get around their travel restrictions. https://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/border...g-in-1.5196426 |

Speed, the auto-contradicting senile sociopath, blabbered, again: Quebec 1200 deaths per million Ontario 450 deaths per million It appears to mostly be due to the stupid Quebecois thumbing their noses at masks and social distancing and staying home for the elderly. Yeah, senile Arsetralian arsehole, keep ALSO teaching those Canucks about how things are in their country, just as you do so competently with the Brits and the Yanks!

In theory it could be a dramatic difference in the use of nursing homes and retirement villages, but there isnt any evidence of that. In fact both are adjacent in the spending per person on those and they both have the same proportion of covid deaths happening in those places. |

You can close this page without losing your place in line. You are now in line You are in line for Giant Food COVID19. When it is your turn, you will have 10 minutes to enter the website. [very clever progress bar, green segments with a little walking man in the right most segment!] Expected arrival time on the website: 5:17 PM EST Your estimated wait time is: 4 minutes (It started at 5 minutes. ) Status last updated: 5:14:56 PM EST Leave the line (You will lose your place) Queue ID: 255f2a41-d329-495b-9c20-7809cac36e6 So there are two ways to leave the page, one which keeps my place in line and one which loses it. -- Look how many numbers they use for my Queue ID! Ever since computers were invented, American consumption of numbers has increased tremendously. Except for a,b,c,d,e, and f, all the other numbers 0-9 are Arabic numbers and they are imported from Saudi Arabia and other Arab-dominated countries. SO, after waiting 10 minutes, I was redirected to the Giant Pharmacy website, where it said: There are currently no COVID-19 vaccine appointments available. Please check back later. We appreciate your patience as we open as many appointments as possible. Thank you. To see if they ran out of places while I was waiting 10 minutes, I started over, and at first got the same message, no COVID-19 vaccine, and then tried again right away and got Rejected queue number There has been an error, and your queue number has been rejected. We have reported the issue, and apologize for any inconvenience. Unfortunately, you will need to click the button below to get a new place at the end of the queue. Get a new place in line And again I'm waiting 10 minutes!! Will it be different this time? Only my life hangs in the balance! This time, despite the hard-coded 10 minute message, the progress bar actually only asks for 5 minutes. This is exciting. It's like going to the horse races, but instead of betting 2 dollars, I'm betting my life! Five minutes are up!! "There are currently no COVID-19 vaccine appointments available. Please check back later. We appreciate your patience as we open as many appointments as possible. Thank you." I'm tearing up my betting tickets right now, lying down, and preparing to be attacked by corona. If I awake tomorrow, maybe I'll try again. |

John T. The last time I looked most of our Covid deaths were old sick people too but the stray 30 year old is the one that makes the news. I don't know. Is Quebec a generally older population than Ontario? I really don't know. I have been to Ontario in different areas a couple of times but I wasn't looking for old people. The kinds of outdoor things we do tends to draw people younger than us. |

I'll try RiteAid tomorrow. I don't know if I have to go to a place in my county or not. Frederick County is more rural, which means more pro-Trump, which might mean they aren't getting vaccinated as much and maybe they have room for me. |
