    Which begs the question. Will a person be aware of being ignored and by whom? :scratch:

    Our province has been locked down tighter. Only essential errands for food or meds. Both of which are regular trips for me so no change to the way my days have been for the last month or so.

    I will probably be eligible for a jab in September as I'm not 70 yet. Big difference between my country and others. Our PM, Mr. Dressup is dragging his heels on placing orders for the vaccine and at the same time trying to blame the provinces for poor delivery of what has been supplied even though most locations have run out. And the feds are saying "you can't actually run out of a known definitive supply as it just means you didn't pace it out properly" :rolleyespink:

      Lori, this bought a smile to my face. No names, no pack drill but. Another well known, for whatever reason, gardening forum. Has I believe an ignore button. It amazes me how I get flawed when posting. By who? By those who have decided to ignore me. I find that so strange. Answers on a post card please.:wallbanging::wallbanging::wallbanging::wallbanging::wallbanging::wallbanging:

        The "ignore" function is for the benefit of the member placing an "ignore" on another member. So when the ignored member posts the other member won't see any of their posts on Alerts in any thread they are both contributing to. I did give the wrong advice to a member(s) where I'd forgotten that anyone wanting to ignore any member of the Admin Team couldn't because that would cause problems in a dispute.:wallbanging: And to that/those member(s) I apologise.:love30:

              Just as an FYI, cases of the new strain of the virus are described by our media as "first reported in (country)" and I am glad that this distinction has been made.

              And a Quebec couple who went out after curfew last night got a $1,500 fine each for breaking the rules. Essential workers and dog walkers are allowed out after 8 p.m. The wife put a leash on the husband and walkies they went! So glad they didn't try some other doggy tricks in public :heehee:

                I have just ordered 20x15Ltr pots from Oakwood Gardens. Great firm to trade with. IMO.

                  Nope. It's not you. There are people who post responses which have zero relevance to the discussion no matter what the thread. And how sad is that in a gardening forum for someone to lose the plot? :heehee:

                  Oops but I went off corona virus chat... :roflol:

                        Some more good news - a treatment currently on UK trial:

                        Early findings suggested the treatment cut the odds of a Covid-19 patient in hospital developing severe disease - such as requiring ventilation - by almost 80%.

                          Well, it seems now that the USA, after first disagreeing with the UK's vaccination policy, has decided to release the reserve stocks of vaccine that they were holding for the 2nd jab and will now use them to give more people their first jab. They will give the 2nd jab using future produced vaccine up to 12 weeks from the first.

                            I received a call on my Landline today which, if people don't identify themselves, I don't pick up. But having had two calls of the same type I was curious so I did a 1471 to identify the originator and it turned out to be my Surgery. So I called them back and got through straightaway, which is a miracle in itself, and asked what they wanted to call me for.
                            Their reply was to offer me the Jab on Friday afternoon at the Surgery, which is only a mile away, so I've taken up their offer. Now, I'm not even close, at the moment, to 80 years old:old::heehee: so I was surprised to get the offer but I guess they've managed to get through the first priorities first. I did ask, out of curiosity, which Jab it would be, Pfzier or the Oxford, and the Receptionist very patiently replied that they wouldn't know until the day of the Jab.
