The test I took yesterday didn't actually need to do the nose thing. I actually asked the guy, "what, you're not going to scrape the back of my sinus?" and he laughed "ha ha, no, that's ooooold school." These days, it seems just a thorough mouth swab after induced coughing is enough.
Of course, this is Canukistan.
If we can drop anything off for you during your quarantine, please let us know.
Thank you!

I should have said something. I bought TP last week and it was almost all gone. I thought, "Not this shit again." Welp, it's this shit again.

Panic buying of toilet paper hits U.S. stores again with new pandemic restrictions
Toilet paper aisles are emptying again as COVID-19 curfews and shutdowns in states from California to New York send pandemic-weary shoppers on a new scramble for essentials.

Three things you won't hear anywhere else:
- Yesterday (the 20th) was Arizona's highest one-day case total since July 1st - which was the highest one-day case total for this entire pandemic.
- Arizona should be up to 300,000 total cases by Tuesday. Original projections put it at the beginning of December.
- After an initial plateau of new cases back on July 8th, Arizona's new case "balance" is back where it was at the end of June. (A "plateau" is considered here as being fewer cases, on average, in the 28 days after a given date than in the 28 days prior to that same date. The balance "flipped" back to negative, where there were more cases in the 28 days after a date than before, on - ironically - September 11.)

The results took longer to get to me than they had said, but hey, what do you want for free?
Anyway, they came back negative. It was just a cold after all, and despite a THIRD coworker now being quarantined due to an immediate family member testing positive - and this third guy being in my department - I seem to have dodged the bullets so far.
Well, after a very stressful 36 hours, I woke up this morning to a negative test result in my e-mail inbox. So, yay!
36 hours? Shit, we are back into it then for sure. It was a few hours turnaround in the summer.
That either means you are negative and not a priority to inform,I took my test on the 19th, and still no results.
same - she literally was like “ok, no news is good news, bye.”
Yup - one of my congregants mentioned that when she was tested just a few weeks ago, she heard back in ~18 hours (basically overnight). So we've already increased turnaround time by a day in less than a month.
And every day the list of exposure sites gets longer.
I am so glad that we decided to do Dec. 24 all on-line well in advance, because I would hate to be having to plan to maybe-maybe-not at this point.
Our provincial premiere and chief medical officer have been holding (practically) daily COVID briefings since March.
I have never listened/watched.
I happened to today and apparently as of this Thursday, it's all being shut down again for at least two weeks. No restaurants (take-out only), no sports, no faith gatherings (or more than 5 people).

And hobos get to shoot people who violate the order.
Kill it with fire! Manitoba is a cesspool of covid! They have 10,000 cases/1,000,000 people! They locked down last week!
