Not everyone does. Aspirin is not something most people keep at home although they should.

Given the rate of clots was highest in women between 18-50, it's likely not a factor. How many 30 year olds are taking daily aspirin to avoid a stroke?

That is just the NACI guideline. It is still up to the Ontario Government to extend eligibility.

They just said they will not.
Don't worry... June 2022 is not far off and the people will remember.

Big gap between 18 and 30.

I feel better, now that I've been vaccinated for 2 weeks. I guess I'm in the height of immunity now, as far as first dose goes anyway.

I just got back from a 15 km bicycle ride around downtown east. As I sat on my bike at Sugar Beach I thought to myself the happiest residents during Covid have to be those that live permanently on the Toronto Islands. You’ve got no visitors, and a huge park to enjoy.

I’m sure Biden has a lot of “empathy” for India.

Empathy is one thing, domestic reality is another. I am sure Biden can probably send some AZ - which they aren't going to use anyways - to India. Not enough to make a difference for a population of 1.4B (seriously, who can make a real difference at that scale without completely compromising their own vaccination program?), but it's a good gesture (Also, this is going to have a geopolitical dimension as well).US Covid Vaccine News: First obligation is to Americans, says US on India's request for vaccine raw materials | India News - Times of India

To be frank, Modi need to take some personal responsibility for leading his own country into a failure of this scale as well. He ****ed up, and his country is paying the price for his errors.

Right......of course.......but w/loopholes galore.
Canada bans flights from India and Pakistan but there's a loophole
In an effort to stop deadly variants of COVID-19 from entering the country, Canada just banned all incoming flights from India and Pakistan for at ...

Freight is allowed of course............. (and I have no concerns over transmission via freight..........but the flights are not un-staffed).........
But also there are no controls for passengers who take a two-stage (non-direct) flight...........

It is a rare form of clotting and the regular treatment for clots makes it worse, so you have to be very alert.

First Nations in the U.S. sharing their surplus vaccine w/Canadians, in Alberta.

First Nations reach across Canada-U.S. border to share vaccines, leaving some ‘giddy and crying’
More than 450 Canadians visited a drive-thru clinic hosted by the Blackfeet tribe at an Alberta-Montana crossing this week. They were granted a quarantine exemption in an agreement one representative called ‘a sign of reconciliation.’

You kinda missed the point that very few people in the age group this is happening to are going to be on a daily regimen of aspirin. That's usually not recommended by doctors until you're in your fifties.

Before we perpetuate any more freakout/anti-Indian sentiment, can you tell me what the double mutation does differently than "base" covid? Why we should be so concerned about it?With packed flights landing in Toronto over the past week, watch this number grow..

No?
Thought so.
Even the WHO doesn't consider it a Variant of Concern.
For all we know, the mutations have tamped down its lethality or transmissivity. If it does, guess which variant we'd actually prefer to have running around?
Right now, B.1.117 should be the biggest concern here, as it's 90% of our cases and is far more virulent than the original strain.
