I hear ya @SnowFlakey sadly it may never be the ones breaking the rules that contracts this virus, it'll be a person with compromised immunity.
oops, I tried to attach a Jimmy Kimmel video link but they said it was rated R??

Look under YouTube for Fauchi on A Cauchi...it's pretty funny. ( pronounced fowchi on a couchi )

Yes, they are big box as well.

Does anyone know, since Ontario is going into lockdown, are dentist offices going to be open for routine cleanings? I have an appointment next month, and I really don't want go! lol

Received an email from my dentist saying Dental offices were still deemed essential services and that they would be open as per normal.... sorry to be the bearer of bad news for you!

Dog groomers- can't see any reference to them - just pet food stores-no and veterinarians- yes for serious care. Anyone have any other info?

Well that's disappointing!

Our friends own a grooming shop and they're closing down

If the RCSS is a huge store or if the Walmart is a superWalmart, they can be like the big box stores.
Costco will be open for grocery items (and pharmacy?) but will have to rope off the nonfood section

So ON wants people to stay with their own household for the most part. Already heard 2 stories:
1. Granny took grandson for a sleepover so Mom and Dad could wrap Christmas presents without kids peeking. Next day, granny gets a call that a kid in grandson's class has the beer bug. So granny is freaking out now.
2. Guy goes to work with his crew. Next day guy gets a call that one of his coworkers tests positive. Guy was going to invite a few over for Christmas dinner. Now guy is getting tested and worried about wife and little kid.

Not a nice way to spend the holidays.

Stupid is as stupid does! That is all I will say!

From what I've seen so far at my store, all sections of the store are open still.... Not sure if we have to work the same way as Costco (I.E, close off Joe Fresh and GM), but we still have the whole store open for shopping...

Just silly how few vaccinations have been performed since December 15. I sure hope the Pfizer vaccines, which do have a shelf life, are not wasted.

Hope the Moderna starts soon.

And now we have to worry about the more contagious UK strain of Covid-19 which had arrived in Canada.
