How was the game?
Temps are a wee bit nicer here this week. Maybe I can get something done.
I wore a mask for the over an hour yesterday; my longest continuous wear time ever. I honestly don't know how people do it all day long. The docs office did not have a no-contact thermometer so I refused having my temp taken. I don't think they liked but tough s***.
Our team won. Waaaahooo! Series tied in a best of 3 series.
Our weather is significantly cooler here too - for a couple of days, then the heat is back.
Here, we're in what is termed "Phase 3", which is a regional approach to open businesses as well as health related matters, which is a very careful and methodical approach to "opening up". Each province has their own rules, and certain areas within each province may have their own special rules depending on the covid stats in a given area.
In terms of going to the doctor's office, I've not been since late February. The doctor/patient protocols are now "virtual meetings" for general ailments/follow-ups etc. I think if its something urgent, but not critical, they'll see a patient. Otherwise, it's virtual or they suggest going to the ER if higher level issues.
For non-critical issues, what I can say for sure, is that phone consults are normal, as I've had more than a few of those. Whether there are other online methods like skype or zoom or some medical community app, for higher level needs, I can't say. I don't know much about skype or zoom security/protocols, but I would assume that any face-to-face consults would have to be on a very secure medium.
