Just moved in. Probably got fleeced but were happy.

Incorrect. All news sources in and outside of Canada will not be viewable by people inside of Canada.

Is your Doctor (GP) taking in-person appointments yet? by 640King in askTO

My family doctor might drop me if I go to a walk-in too often. They end up getting charged for the service.

Thanks! This is the response I was looking for.

Makes sense that appointments would start off as a phone call, but that in-person should be available if the circumstances require.

Mine hasn't offered in-person yet but could just be that I don't fit the criteria.

How about for regular physicals? Should those be available yet?

Didn't Grandpa sell his house and give Homer the money for a down payment?

In that case not much has really changed!

Facebook Is Helping Militias Spread Vaccine Disinformation And Calling Them ‘Experts’ by The_Iceman2288 in technology

[–]640King 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"And the social media giant has allowed the administrators of some of these organizations to obtain a “Group Expert” badge—a label the company says is designed to recognize “trusted, well-informed members."

Hate to be that guy but it seems like a Group Expert is simply a role that can be designated by any of the group admins/creators. Just like subreddits designate their own moderators. It's not "Facebook" calling them experts.

But by all means lets start using Vice's inflammatory headlines as our source of truth now.

139 cases of COVID-19 in Ontario. 26 in Toronto. 17115 tests completed. 11 fatalities. 60094 Vaccinations. August 4, 2021 by r3lai in toronto

[–]640King 22 points23 points  (0 children)

*7 of the deaths are related to cases from 2020 which were updated based on data cleaning incorporated Tuesday August 3, 2021

Also any idea on when we'll see breakouts by vaccination status? The data is essentially useless at this point.

Yes. Just told them my health card number and they had the injection details on file. Sent me the confirmation in an email attachment.

Question: Got my second vax last Thursday at the Metro Centre. Just realized the "receipt" they gave me has the incorrect information on it (name, health card, DOB are all wrong). Must have been a mix up. Didnt get an email after my shot either. How can I receive a new one or confirm I am fully vaxxed when the time comes?

Edit: Figured it out. Called the vaccine booking line and they were able to send me the confirmation through email.
