I tested negative this morning, but have symptoms.
We've been out and about, and haven't been masking. Vaccinations up to date and no health issues, aside from Dad's age.
Sister's place, PWHL game, Dad visits his gf at the LTC home regularly, it's had a COVID outbreak, but I think it was a couple months ago...local restaurant, etc etc.
@johnefrancis Assisted living and other senior centers are the absolute worst for covid. My father was in one for a year and a half and got Covid 3 times. Everyone got covid several times.
since the provincial govt. has hidden away all public health information in the name of economic prosperity...I'm not really sure what the current rates are.
@NuanceRhymesWithOrange I'm on septic, so my wastewater doesn't get measured. I suppose I could make a deposit at the local pub, but I don't want to make anyone sick there, even though I tested negative this morning...
@NuanceRhymesWithOrange a wastewater analyst must've sneaked into the tank when I had the lids off for pumping a couple years ago. They're very dedicated.
@johnefrancis Here are two links for you. Both are local to Ottawa. They seem to use the same data, but it is represented in different ways.
Both take forever to load and you need to scroll down a bit.
This one - you need to expand the graph because the scale on the left adjusts and it can look like zero when it isn't. https://613covid.ca/wastewater/. Note that they no longer publish flu-b which is the high one.
The controls only work at reducing community spread when there is a high level of compliance, and that's long gone. So the idea of "doing my part"...that's over for me.
Masking for my personal risk level doesn't work for me, but maybe I'll reconsider if I get moderately ill or worse.
