They're all working under the same guidelines. My appt is for Saturday, and they told me they will call on Friday to review the protocols. I heard of one place that has doubled their price.
Mine is adding $5 as a surcharge, which is fine, it's always been a bit more expensive a place because it's in the PATH. They will give me a free mask though as a part of that. The only protocol really is "show up on time" because they are carefully staging appointments so only three are inside at once and, obviously, no walk-ins means they can't replace lost revenue from late-shows or no-shows.My guy went up $2 - I can live with that. Didn't ask the missus if she had any increase.
Yeah as of now my wedding is limited to 40 people and i deferred my reception to April as I hope a 2nd wave will be gone by then.
About why people wont take a sacrifice ...
Dont want to sound like a boomer and i am third of an age of one, but as someone who looks at history, we as a society are very individualistic and very soft. We have not faced many real hardships such as wars that killed 100s of thousands of our people or great disasters that destroyed parts of our nation.
Like there has been a disease that has killed 500k worldwide and my personal focus is trying to get married this year (oof). Like that is selfish but to me I have not lived in a world where the idea you have to put life on hold for 12-18 months for such an event.
With regard to leadership and jurisdictional responsibility take testing. My understanding is that infectious disease expertise, laboratories, and research is predominantly a Federal responsibility. I’m no expert so maybe I’m mistaken.
From this the Feds stated Canada should be doing 60,000 tests a day to function normally. I assume this number came from their expertise. Even if testing is a provincial responsibility the Federal executive should still be making sure we hit this metric. If they don’t (and they are not) it‘s an abdication of leadership. Otherwise what is the point of the Federal Health expertise or for that matter Federal leadership at all?
How does a Federal leader get the testing metric reached even though it’s a provincial government responsibility?Through the art of leadership. Canada it seems has no Federal leadership of note.
P.S. If you look at Canada’s testing it’s still not up to speed or ready for a potential second wave or ready to deal with a higher caseload with a greater level of opening. Funny enough Ontario is now doing much of the heavy lifting on some days doing 50-60% of all the testing in Canada.
If you think testing is currently sufficient think about in September if kids go back to school as people go back to work. Anyone with kids knows there is a tsunami of (non-COVID) disease transmission in the fall. We are going to have to go back to test rationing because how can you tell who is spreading COVID and who is just spreading regularly circulating respiratory viruses?
Alvin, sorry you misunderstand my post. I was not conveying a belief that the Federal government was responsible for routine testing, I was talking about who had the nation’s expertise on infectious disease at the higher order. Why formulate a national testing goal at the Federal Level, communicate it to the public at the Federal Level, then not follow through to meet that metric? The feedback seems to be how? How is leadership.
Most people when they get a job just do what they are told doing the minimum within the boundaries of their function. Leadership is about creating a strategic direction or vision, taking the responsibility to see that vision through, and implementing the actions required.
