We hear from our Health Minister how bad Fraser Health and Surrey is for COVID infections. Yesterday, Fraser Health had 600 new cases. Vancouver Coastal Health had 211 in comparison. The rest of the province is much less! I am happy they have finally vaccinated all the police, fire fighters, EMT, teachers, bus drivers and many other essential workers in Surrey. Our vaccine centers are huge. Appointments start at 9 AM and are available until 8:45 PM every day. They are really doing their best to get everyone vaccinated at the clinics quickly. Here's a list of our clinics:
- The former Best Buy store on King George Blvd.
- Guildford Recreation Center
- Cloverdale Recreation Center
- South Surrey Recreation Center
- South Surrey Park and Ride drive thru
- Surrey 66 Avenue drive thru
Getting an appointment at a pharmacy doesn't seem to be a problem here, which is really good. Appointments are available at Save On Foods next Tuesday and Wednesday! In the really bad areas that have been identified by electoral districts, if you are 40 or above you can make an appointment at a government clinic now. We live in one of the bad areas, oh what a surprise!
I go on the BC CDC website to see the businesses that are closed. Brown's Social House, Wendy's and Cactus Club very close to us have all been closed! Today I see the barber in the adjacent mall is also closed. Here is the notice on the door:
We stay home unless it's necessary to go to a grocery store. We chose our time when it's senior hours or not busy. I look forward to the day when we return to some kind of normal, whatever that will be.
