On Monday Nov 29, while I was in town with my sister, my wonderful 95-year-old best friend, my Mum, did not wake up. She has been declining for a couple of years and I am grateful she is not suffering any more. She was much loved. I will have to redefine myself without her.

Warning- Covid tests are illegal to bring into Mexico so don't buy one for your return to the US or Canada- it will be confiscated by Mexican customs.

Need a COVID-19 antigen test for your next trip? Enjoy the convenience of a self-administered rapid antigen test that you can complete from the comfort of your home and that does not require lab processing. This test meets requirements to enter the U.S., amongst other countries.

Sounded great so i bought it for trip to Mexico….when i landed customs agent said it is illegal to bring into Mexico and threw it right into the garbage. Bye bye $$. Perhaps @AirCanada and @SwitchHealthCA should warn purchasers that some countries will not allow this!

Warning!! I bought these tests for trip to Mexico.Took antigen test to travel thru US and brought PCR test to do on the way home. It is illegal to bring covid tests into Mexico and the customs agent threw it away! Goodbye $$$. Thnx Air Canada.

[Air Canada @AirCanada]

Have a plan! A lab member felt sick and went for a covid test and informed me. we moved lab meeting that day online and let people know so they could limit contacts until test results were in. we then made a plan together for how to do this. Test negative! But now we have a plan!

@TjShors @TronsonLab Congratulations Tracey! Well deserved!

@marktmaclean Every process in Workday is obtuse and seems to require an army of people to get thingd wrong repeatedly. Stuff that used to happen automatically now takes 3-5 emails and logins! Hate it!

@SenguptaLab @ctmurphy1 Same here- no testing mentioned. Limit to number of workers allowed, lots of cleaning rules, sign/sign out, online calendars to schedule rooms/equipment.
