Does anybody else freak out every time their COVID Alert app goes off to give you that supposedly reassuring message that “COVID Alert continues to monitor for exposures on your behalf.”? I know what it’s trying to do, but every single time it goes off, I tend to review the last few days, go over …

ArriveCANT
Because I’m an optimist for thinking I would need this sooner than later, and a weirdo for liking to plan ahead, I decided to set up my profile on ArriveCAN. I tried once, but it assumed I was traveling right then, and wanted me to start filling out a big ol’ form. But later, I …
Hmmm…Here Comes Another Year…
So…um…2021 was a thing. It happened. Now it’s over, and I’m not really sure what to say about it, even though it’s now the beginning of 2022 and I should probably reflect on the year that was. It started off crappy, but the possibility of vaccines was there and I thought things would look up …
It’s Probably OK To Get A Flu Shot And A COVID Shot At The Same Time
File this one under good to know. It’s going to be especially handy if I’m right and we eventually move to an annual COVID vaccine to protect us from the mutation of the moment rather than running around like headless, planless chickens arbitrarily throwing boosters into people and hoping for the best. According to the …

I Have Been Boosted, Hopefully Not Busted
Not much to say except I got my COVID booster, so take that, piece of crap Omicron variant…and all the other variants too. I was lucky. I could walk to a pharmacy who was giving out boosters, so I got an appointment and zoinked one. I had to get Moderna, so now I’ve had two …

We Went And Did Stuff. I Hope We Get To Keep Doing That
Dear God! I’m in a theatre, doing normal people things! Hopefully it’s not the last time for a while. pic.twitter.com/ehaRc6jvzb — Steve Wettlaufer (@VC_Steve) December 16, 2021 I have no idea how good that picture is or isn’t. I just decided that a special occasion like being out amongst strangers for a common purpose for …

Something The Unvaccinated Can Do That Isn’t The Usual Thing I Tell them They Can Do
The willfully unvaccinated aren’t high up on the list of folks I would expect to knowingly do something for the good of others, but this is still handy to know. Canadian Blood Services is encouraging people to donate blood, even if they haven’t been fully vaccinated against COVID-19. Gina Leyva, the territory manager at Canadian …
You’re In Some Poo Now, Christopher Robin
Imagine being the guy in prison who has to tell everyone he’s in for lying on Facebook about having paid a sick person to lick food. A Texas man has been sentenced to 15 months in prison for posting hoaxes on Facebook that falsely claimed he had paid someone with covid-19 to lick items at …

The Holes In Your Mask Match The Holes In Your Brain
Mesh masks not appropriate PPE in classrooms, Brantford school board says How thick do you have to be to need this clarified? Good lord. Unless you legit don’t know what mesh is because your language doesn’t have a word for it and you can’t look at it or touch it for reasons outside of your …

We’re Not Done, Guys. We Could Still Use Some Help
Ontario rent freeze expires on Jan. 1 This crosses my mind a lot. Not just in the context of the rent freeze, but in a general sense. The pandemic is clearly not over. Yes, we’re in a different place than we were a year ago before we had vaccines, but aside from feeling a bit …
