'Several' members of premier's family also test positive for COVID-19

Premier Blaine Higgs says his symptoms remain 'mild' and are 'lessening' since he announced testing positive

Higgs announced Dec. 31 he had tested positive for COVID-19 with a rapid test and was isolating with his family while awaiting a PCR (polymerase chain reaction) lab test.

"I am certain I have COVID, and so I have not gone for a PCR test," Higgs said in an emailed statement.

New Brunswick now reserves PCR tests, which are considered the gold-standard diagnostic test, for people at the highest risk of being hospitalized due to COVID-19.

Higgs would meet the criteria, which includes people who are symptomatic and aged 50 or over.

He has continued to test positive on rapid tests, he said, and has been isolating since the onset of his symptoms on Dec. 25.

"My symptoms continue to be the same but are lessening," said Higgs, who was double-vaccinated with AstraZeneca and had received a booster shot.

"They are mild and much like those of a cold. I have a slight cough and some head congestion."

Higgs, who is married, has four grown daughters and at least four grandchildren, did not specify which members of his family have tested positive or discuss their condition. Nor did he say whether they tested positive with rapid tests or PCR tests.

       
There is always a contingency plan to ensure government will continue should I be unable to perform my duties. However, at this time that is not an issue.
- Blaine Higgs, premier

On Dec. 31 he indicated his wife, Marcia, and his "family members" were double-vaccinated and "boosted."

He also said he had made the difficult decision not to visit his in-laws during the Christmas holidays. "We wanted to protect them and now, given the circumstances, we know we did the right thing."

Higgs has continued to work, conducting all of his usual duties virtually, he said.

"There is always a contingency plan to ensure government will continue should I be unable to perform my duties. However, at this time that is not an issue."

"I want to thank the many people who have reached out to express care and concern," he added.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was among those who had conveyed best wishes for the premier's recovery, with a post on social media.

Sorry to hear that you’ve tested positive for COVID-19, @PremierBHiggs - though I’m glad your symptoms have been mild. As you and your family isolate, and as you recover, Sophie and I are keeping you all in our thoughts.

"... PCR tests, which are considered the gold-standard diagnostic test..."

There is considerable disagreement on this amongst experts.

Reply to @David Peters: Except the media is heavily influenced by Pfizer and the like.
 
 
Gerald Celente
Reply to @Timothy Walton: And Higgs is certainly not among them at any level. * "I am certain I have COVID, and so I have not gone for a PCR test," * So why do others need a PCR test? If I test positive with a rapid test, then a PCR test I am good to go in 5 days, if fully vaxxed? If I don't get a PCR test I must continue to test until I get a negative? What if I don't have a rapid test? What then?

Merry Christmas and more buttery goodness to you and yours,

'Several' members of premier's family also test positive for COVID-19


'Several' members of premier's family also test positive for COVID-19
Premier Blaine Higgs says his symptoms remain 'mild' and are
'lessening' since he announced testing positive

Bobbi-Jean MacKinnon · CBC News · Posted: Jan 06, 2022 6:53 PM AT


Premier Blaine Higgs, who tested positive for COVID-19 on Dec. 29, is
isolating, but has continued to work virtually. (GNB/YouTube)

Premier Blaine Higgs says "several" members of his immediate family
have also tested positive for COVID-19.

Higgs announced Dec. 31 he had tested positive for COVID-19 with a
rapid test and was isolating with his family while awaiting a PCR
(polymerase chain reaction) lab test.

"I am certain I have COVID, and so I have not gone for a PCR test,"
Higgs said in an emailed statement.

New Brunswick now reserves PCR tests, which are considered the
gold-standard diagnostic test, for people at the highest risk of being
hospitalized due to COVID-19.

Higgs would meet the criteria, which includes people who are
symptomatic and aged 50 or over.

increase in hospitalizations

He has continued to test positive on rapid tests, he said, and has
been isolating since the onset of his symptoms on Dec. 25.

"My symptoms continue to be the same but are lessening," said Higgs,
who was double-vaccinated with AstraZeneca and had received a booster
shot.

"They are mild and much like those of a cold. I have a slight cough
and some head congestion."

Higgs, who is married, has four grown daughters and at least four
grandchildren, did not specify which members of his family have tested
positive or discuss their condition. Nor did he say whether they
tested positive with rapid tests or PCR tests.
        There is always a contingency plan to ensure government will
continue should I be unable to perform my duties. However, at this
time that is not an issue.

    - Blaine Higgs, premier

On Dec. 31 he indicated his wife, Marcia, and his "family members"
were double-vaccinated and "boosted."

He also said he had made the difficult decision not to visit his
in-laws during the Christmas holidays. "We wanted to protect them and
now, given the circumstances, we know we did the right thing."

Higgs has continued to work, conducting all of his usual duties
virtually, he said.

"There is always a contingency plan to ensure government will continue
should I be unable to perform my duties. However, at this time that is
not an issue."

"I want to thank the many people who have reached out to express care
and concern," he added.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was among those who had conveyed best
wishes for the premier's recovery, with a post on social media.

Sorry to hear that you’ve tested positive for COVID-19, @PremierBHiggs
- though I’m glad your symptoms have been mild. As you and your family
isolate, and as you recover, Sophie and I are keeping you all in our

Reply to @rayma allaby: I don't particularly like his politics, but it
is unfair if you don't even know him and have a crappy opinion, have a

Pfizer and the like.

Gerald Celente
Reply to @Timothy Walton: And Higgs is certainly not among them at any
level. * "I am certain I have COVID, and so I have not gone for a PCR
test," * So why do others need a PCR test? If I test positive with a
rapid test, then a PCR test I am good to go in 5 days, if fully
vaxxed? If I don't get a PCR test I must continue to test until I get
a negative? What if I don't have a rapid test? What then?

Vaccine mandate for truckers could lead to mass layoffs and supply chain issues


https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/kitchener-waterloo/vaccine-mandate-truckers-1.6307154


Vaccine mandate for truckers could lead to mass layoffs and supply chain issues
'You're getting into some very critical areas of disruption of
service,' says trucking association

Joe Pavia · CBC News · Posted: Jan 08, 2022 6:00 AM ET

The trucking industry warns a vaccine mandate for its drivers could
slow the delivery of food and medical supplies across the borders.
(David Donnelly/CBC)

The trucking industry says cross border supplies will slow down even
more if a vaccine mandate for truckers goes through.

As of January 15, new federal rules mandate that truck drivers
returning from the U.S would have to quarantine if they're not
vaccinated.

A similar mandate is scheduled for January 22 for drivers heading into the U.S.

Mike Millian, the president of the Private Motor Truck Council of
Canada in Milton, Ont., says the supply chain slow downs being
experienced now will only get worse.

"While we're trying to protect the public's health and safety by
mandating a vaccine, we could be harming the public's health and
safety if we're mandating 20 per cent of the workforce to be gone when
we already have a shortage of that workforce," Millian said.

"They're the ones that deliver food, fuel, vaccines, medical gases,
blood, all the stuff that keeps our healthcare system going. Food in
our stomach and heat in our homes. We're going to create a bigger
public health risk if we're not careful here."

    Critics, industry call on Ottawa to reconsider trucker vaccine
mandate to protect supply chains

The trucking industry fears the vaccine will lead to an estimated
12,000 and 22,000 workers leaving the job when the mandate is
enforced.

Shelley Walker of Cambridge is president of the Women's Trucking
Federation of Canada.

She said in a coast-to-coast survey of the Women's Trucking Federation
of Canada where 181 responded, 56 per cent said they will not get
vaccinated to meet this mandate.

"For some of them, it's been too much miscommunication. For some,
[they say], 'We've been doing this for over two years, I haven't
gotten COVID. I'm in a truck all by myself.'  And for others, it's a
case of religious beliefs," Walker said.
Calls to delay mandate

Trucking organizations like the Canadian Trucking Alliance have asked
the governments on both sides of the border to keep the dialogue open
ahead of the first vaccine date.

Stephen Laskowski is president of the Canadian Trucking Alliance. He
says they've asked the governments of Canada and the U.S to work with
industries on both sides of the border and members of the supply chain
that rely on the trucking industry.

"Speak directly with those customers of the trucking industry
throughout the supply chain to understand their current problems in
managing their supply chains related to not only driver shortages, but
there are other issues they are facing," Laskowski said.

He said they also need to talk about "how removing a certain
percentage of drivers from the supply chain as a result of this
mandate would make a bad situation in the supply chain even worse."

Mike Millian is president of the Private Motor Truck Council of
Canada. (Submitted by Mike Millian)

Millian says at best, they're hoping to delay the mandate and offer
testing options for the truckers.

"Give us the option to get them tested a couple of times if the driver
doesn't want to get vaccinated," Millian said.

"At least in some way, we are still doing what they wish, which is,
trying to ensure we're not getting infected and spreading it around.
But at the same time, we're not moving these workers from the
workforce which both our economies desperately need."
