Here in Canada there is a growing number of covid deniers and anti maskers that is fueling the virus. Along with ignoring government protocols, they are also marching in large protests. As a result of these uneducated ( except for Facebook) the government is implementing targeted lockdowns. Seems to be the same story all over the world.

pianotuna,

Those numbers tell me again that the best use of the vaccines is in the US itself. This is where the biggest payoff will be.

[pianotuna]

Fisherman bad is subjective. Here are some numbers.

Total cases per million souls in USA 36,539
Total cases per million souls in Cdn 8,338

Total deaths per million in USA 780
Total deaths per million in Cdn 297

Unfortunately Canada seems to be doing its level best to catch up to USA.

Yes it's getting bad here too. Unfortunately the lemmings of society can't wrap their heads around 6 feet and a mask. Students in large close quartered groups, no masks. Schools are slowly being closed again, go to the mall, same thing although they won't let you in without masks. I think it's going to explode in the next few weeks. Stock up on food and gas and hibernate.

You might reconsider going to Canada.

I guess a bunch of folks from Quebec are flying south and then shipping their RV's. Cost is $1600.00

My assumption is the ban will stay in place until the vaccine is widely distributed.

My bet is shortly after the political situation officially changes...but they may claim it's the vaccine even when it's only distributed to 2% of the population...so they can claim it's not political.

It is the safe move for our neighbors to the north.
