hi montreal
10:12 am

you can play as a guest or set up a name. it has this crazy ratings system based on your score vs. the score of other players in the round, but if you play as a guest you don't get or lose any ratings points.
10:12 am
hokie carla
hey monty
10:13 am

Hi everyone. Just wondering how this omicron variant of Covid is affecting people in the US. Here in Ireland, pubs, restaurants & all hospitality must shut down by 20.00 hrs. The numbers of people getting infected is sky-rocketing, as they are in the UK. What’s happening over there? Is omicron a huge problem?
2:23 pm
welki
hi soodle - it's increasing at an alarming rate in the US, and starting to do the same here in Canada. Some provinces (in Canada) are ramping up restrictions again, but here, in Alberta, our moronic premier has decided to ease them. It'll be mayhem in a few weeks.
2:23 pm
mab
We are still dealing predominantly delta. but omicron is of course doubling day by day. we will be, i read, dealing with both for some time.
2:26 pm
mab
yep. what weiki says, kind of chaotic. everyone doing what they want - some worry i think of how the idiotic people would deal with return of restrictions.
2:27 pm
mab
sorry not a word
2:30 pm
Soodle
Thanks for that Welki & Mab. This wretched virus seems to be gaining the upper hand here in Europe, despite huge vaccination numbers.
2:40 pm
mael
seems omicron evades the vaccines quite a bit but boosters help. Hopefully this protects some of the most vulnerable who have had access to boosters already (in Europe, here in the US all can get boostered 6 months after the first dose)
2:42 pm
mael
I know I'm glad my aunts and uncles in their 90s in Italy have had their boosters
2:46 pm
mab
so great mael. Itialy suffer so horribly early on.
2:49 pm
mael
hopefully everyone can keep the hospitals from getting overrun
2:51 pm
mab
so terrible when heartbreaking decisions have to be made - i hope too. we just passed 800.000 lost, more than any other country.
2:53 pm
mael
it's been a tough couple years
2:53 pm
mael
and seeing people reject a lifesaving vaccine is horrendous
2:55 pm
mab
it scares me that medical people are just so tired, some too tired to continue doing their work. I can see how that would happen.
2:59 pm

my daughter is a clinical educator in a hospital - for the last year and a half, she's been regularly called into work in the ICU and ED because of staffing shortages. worries me, since she still has to do her job, take care of her children, work on her phD - she's going to burn out, too

here, we can pick up rapid tests at pharmacies (for free) - as long as supplies last. program started today
3:05 pm
welki
must be hard for you, too, mael, with the kids. i don't recall how old they are now, probably around 5 and 8?
3:06 pm
72 Temple Owl
no, no...one of my teammates tested positive. not a prolonged exposure. all should be well, i want my pedigree for the upcoing holiday.
3:06 pm
72 Temple Owl
rapid tests not readily available and they cost
3:08 pm
72 Temple Owl
following doctor's advice, +. given timelines, nearly out of range, which is why this is so hard to control. by the time you find out, it's possible to be infected and contagious
3:08 pm
welki
they will here, again, once the people who simply HAVE to have them (because they're free) deplete our supply
3:08 pm
72 Temple Owl
the clinics who do rapid testing do not accept anything but $
3:09 pm
welki
are they expensive?
3:09 pm
72 Temple Owl
so, welk, i can see why people want to have one on hand, although WHEN to test is key
3:09 pm
72 Temple Owl
about $180
3:09 pm
72 Temple Owl
to BE tested commerically rapid test. Cunty PRC tests are free, which is what I will do

3:12 pm
welki
i was close, mael - and you're 100% right. you have to juggle, that's for sure
3:13 pm
mael
and school has been so necessary for them, hopefully there are no more closures
3:13 pm
mael
if we can avoid them...
3:13 pm
72 Temple Owl
mael: SOOOO many people here with kids, both unmasked. we had to sweatr we were okay and wear masks to be on U of P property each friday. that was no dounbt helpful when one of us tested positive about a week later
3:14 pm
72 Temple Owl
this area has first case (that they know of) of new variant
3:14 pm
welki
i'm going to have a cup of tea - later, folks

even if one is okay, the pass to be on Penn property lasts less than 1 day

Hi babblers. Popped in to wait for the flip, but can give quick clues if needed. I'm from UK as those of you who know me, know and I was just pondering on what our Queen might say in her Christmas Day address this year. She's had a truly sh*t year, as have many of her subjects, but I bet she will find something positive and uplifting to say. It won't be easy, but she'll do it. Bless her.

It has to do with young birds learning to si4/6.
