With Canada very slow on their vaccinations, the US may actually be the ones to keep the border closed.!

Couple of reasons why Canada’s vaccine roll out is slow are:
1- we don’t make any COVID vaccine in Canada.
2- although Canada has a number of huge orders of vaccine from around the world it doesn’t mean we are getting it. Meaning the deliveries of the vaccine have in the past been delayed for one reason or another, so we wait.
That’s not to say we aren’t getting vaccinated, because we are. At 63, l’m not scheduled in B.C. to “make” an appointment until the end of April beginning of May. The shot will come after the appointment is made when vaccine is available.
Let’s all hope this gets behind us, so we can all hug our grandkids, family and friends again soon
Stay safe everyone.

You’re still quarantined yourself from even family? Really?

Yes.
We have a bubble with my elderly sister and my elderly mother inlaw. Those are the only people we are keeping close.
We have three daughters within 20 miles of here and have only seen them in our driveway at birthdays and Christmas when they and our 7 Grand kids came by to sing to us.
And those three daughters and their families came by at different times so they didn’t break their bubbles.
Our area of BC has next to nothing ( numbers are picking up now with variants) for COVID cases for the last 2 months. However since the variants and number of cases are rising we are hunkering down for phase 3 ... or what ever they want to call it.
Like I said at my age my wife and I are not scheduled to make an “appointment “ to get our shots until the end of April begining of May.
So we are do everything we can do, to keep us, our loved ones and community safe until we all have the option to get our shots.
And it’s called a bubble, not a “ quarantine” which means you lock yourself in a room and watch Netflix 24/7.
We still go get grub once every 2 weeks, we go snowmobiling / ATVing/ camping, work in our garden and go for walks in the bush, we still do just about everything we used to do except travel outside our medical region and hug our family ( besides my wife)
Stay safe
