icymi, Measles case in Moncton:
The measles exposure warning from the NB health dept was for ppl on Air Canada Flight 1986 from Toronto to Moncton July 7th, or ppl inside the Greater Moncton Romeo LeBlanc International Airport arrivals area later that night/early July 8 (from 12:30a to 3:10a) … also to anyone at The Moncton Hospital emergency department on July 8 from 6a until 12p.
1) check your immunity status (when were you vaccinated?)
2) monitor yourself for symptoms for 21 days ("high fever, cough, runny nose, red/sore eyes, and small white spots inside the mouth. A red blotchy rash typically follows 3 to 5 days later, starting on the face and spreading downward")
3) isolate if symptoms appear (please don't go to the emergency room unless it is an emergency, avoid the doctor's office/ clinic/ school/ or workplace. Instead call 811 to speak with Tele-Care for what to do next.)

icymi, the Province has posted about blue-green algae, just as a reminder that it happens around here and we all need to be mindful of it. It can be really bad for pets and also make people ill, and sometimes you can't even see it. So just a heads-up to watch for posted signs and online warnings this summer and keep your pets safe around the water. We also have the provincial blue-green algae tracker on our Summer Weather Page at NewCountry969.ca/storm.

If you bought beef sometime since 2015, you might want to check this out.
Some beef suppliers have offered settlements after some allegations. Basically, it's alleged that some meat companies secretly agreed to make the price of beef too high (paraphrase, not a lawyer.) If the settlement gets court approval (the judge has to decide if it's a fair deal), and you are eligible, there might be some cash in your future. Not yet though. There's a court hearing in September. Too be continued! See: https://www.beefclassaction.ca/
