@krassenstein As a non-American even I know that only U.S. citizens can vote in Federal, State and most local elections. Green card holders, permanent residents, migrants and immigrants can NOT vote. However I’m pretty sure they can all pay taxes.

@WillieHandler @SheilaEYoung1 So sorry to hear this. I got COVID in June after our return from Spain. Went on Paxlovid right away and tested negative after 4 days...then I rebounded and re-tested positive on day 7. Bummer. I would still do Paxlovid again though. I'm sure it accounted for a very mild case.

@BogochIsaac I can’t seem to get an answer to this question. Are boomers who had smallpox vaccines in the 50’s protected against monkey pox?

@TheAVClub I live to hear Anderson Cooper giggle.

[gofigure49 @gofigure49]

@BogochIsaac @CP24 Yes! Please! I’m going to end up going to Florida for booster the same way I went to Florida for 2nd. Seniors might rather mask up and sit on a plane for 3 hours to get their booster than wait for our leaders to look after us.

@Stonekettle Oppressed??? We are just about the freest country in the world! Free to be me, free to protect each other, free to protect our oceans and forests, free to love who we want, free to not need guns, free to access healthcare and free from men controlling women’s bodies.

@ianhanomansing Easy. Get the $40 antigen test at Shoppers. Results in 15 minutes while you wait. Coming home make an appointment on line at Walgreens for drive through For rapid ID-now. NAAT test acceptable in Canada. Results in a few hours. It’s FREE. Give your hotel as address.

@BillBlair Now three more things need to happen. Mixed doses accepted by US. Booster shots. Drop PCR requirement for fully vaccinated. Just do it. Get ‘er done.

[gofigure49 @gofigure49]

@IDSAInfo @BogochIsaac When will fly shots be available in Ontario? Will there be double dose for seniors? What’s the most prevalent difference in symptoms between flu and COVID?

[gofigure49 @gofigure49]

@BogochIsaac @amyjudd @LiciaCorbella Okay…got my 2 shots..got my receipts…got my QR code thanks to grassroots…just need my vaccine passport and my booster!

[gofigure49 @gofigure49]

@celliottability Boosters for seniors soon?

[gofigure49 @gofigure49]

@imgrund "Attesting" means taking their word. People lie. My 17-year-old grandson told me one of his cohorts tested positive and came to school anyway. This is YRDSB. WTH! I'm so pissed at the nonchalance. This is serious people.

[gofigure49 @gofigure49]

@GovCanHealth Why? Joke, right?

[gofigure49 @gofigure49]

@LisaBarrettID @BogochIsaac If not vaxxed, then PCR test PLUS rapid test at airport before boarding.

@SharkawyMD And botox fillers, collagen and silicone implants.....

@ScottGottliebMD @BogochIsaac I copied your tweet to my Naples, Florida NextDoor group at 8:00 am this morning and they’re still going at it. Over 200 responses and conspiracy theories rule. No amount of science will change their minds. Sad!

[gofigure49 @gofigure49]

@ScottGottliebMD Thank you for your stats. I have posted your tweet on my Naples, Florida NextDoor website. You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it stop watching Fox News!

[gofigure49 @gofigure49]

@CanBorder Just a heads-up to Americans returning to the States. You will require another negative test to return to the US. As of now there are no free tests (except a separate trip to the airport - parking, timeliness, etc.) available for travelers. $199 each through private clinics.

@davidkaplanmd @OntarioHealthOH If you received any of your shots out of province they may not be uploaded into CoVaxon. Minister Elliott announced on June 11 you could do so through your PHU. Not all are ready. Can't do it in York yet. Such brilliant IT minds in Ont. and we can't get our act together!

[gofigure49 @gofigure49]

@DrKateTO Minister Elliott announced on June 11 that we could upload our out-of-country vaccines to PH portals but it's still not ready yet in York Region. We have such brilliant IT minds in this province and this country, it's a shame we can't get any of these software changes right.
