22-year-old Manitoban offers warning about COVID-19 B-1-1-7 variant after getting it
Peter Soliman, 22, recently posted on Instagram about his experience being one of the first young Manitobans to get the B-1-1-7 variant. He was extremely sick. Here's what he said in his Instagram post:
"This picture of me was taken before leaving the hospital. Not many of you know this but last month I got extremely sick with the Covid-19 B117 variant (aka the UK strain).
I’m only writing this because I see many people who have never been touched by covid 19 starting to go back to normal and acting like the pandemic isn’t real or they’re just over it.
I’m 22 years old, previously healthy, i eat well and I have been staying physically active. Before this, I always thought yenno I’m young, healthy and have no other medical conditions, this virus would be just like any flu; it wasn’t.
The first week, I had very high fevers daily, my temperature would reach 40-41 degrees. My body felt like it ran a marathon and I barely got any sleep from the discomfort.
I thought yenno its been a week in, I should start recovering now... but no. I developed pneumonia and my oxygen saturation dropped to 70%, if you don’t know what that number means ask someone who does seriously.
I was bed bound and unable to get up to go to the bathroom. I was taken to the hospital not once but twice, and was told by a doctor my condition was worse than a 84 year old in the room next door with covid.
These variants are serious, if you believe being young and healthy got you covered it doesn’t.
I was one of the first young people in Manitoba to get it and I was told “we know nothing about this variant”, physicians were trying different med doses on me.
So I want you to imagine being sick and everyday you’re being told physicians don’t know they just hope you get better. An ICU doctor came and talked with me to let me know that if tomorrow my condition got slightly worse they would have to take me to the ICU.
I am not writing this for attention or sympathy, I am grateful and thank God everyday to be slowly recovering and trying to get back to my normal self; I am only writing this because I see how many people feel invincible, I see how many people are sick of watching the news and sick of the rules.
This isn’t the time to let go of this, with few peopl vaccinated it’s up to each one of us to protect ourselves, the ones we love and take some pressure off the overworked healthcare workers"

Surprising (and tiring) side-effect from being around people again...
I went golfing three times over the long weekend, and it was WONDERFUL to play the game I love and even MORE wonderful to see so many of my friends whom I haven't seen for months. But at the end of each of those days, I was asleep by 9pm! Exhausted, was I, just from being around people again and having to make conversation, so we turned to psychologist Dr. Rehman Abdulrehman to find out if others are experiencing this kind of thing thanks to pandemic isolation. - Brett

SDS - Underappreciated Christmas Films
Behind-The-Glass "Jingle" Gerry gives a list of "Lesser Known" Christmas Movies that he thinks deserve some attention. So, if you are looking for a festive film, but are tired of the usual suspects like It's A Wonderful Life, A Christmas Carol, Miracle on 34th Street, or even Christmas Vacation, here are a few to take a look at:
1. Christmas in Connecticut (1945) - Barbara Stanwyk starrs as a magazine Columnist who is the "Martha Stewart" of her time. Giving hints and tips to homemakers on how to do things properly. All is well until her editor invites himself and a war veteran to her house for Christmas... the problem? She has no idea how to do any of the things she writes about.
2. The Shop Around The Corner (1940) - Jimmy Stewart and Margaret Sullivan star as co-working shop clerks who can not stand one another. What they don't know is that they are each other's secret pen pal... who are about to meet face to face for the first time. Does the plot sound familiar? The Tom Hanks/Meg Ryan movie Youv'e Got Mail was based on this classic
3. A Christmas Wish (AKA The Great Rupert) (1950) - Jimmy Durante stars in this film about a down-and-out family who moves into a basement apartment not knowing that a trained squirrel has taken up residence in the walls, and has found some cash hidden there by "bad guys" and starts doling it out to the family. Early stop-motion animation with a stuffed squirrel make this a rare gem.
4. Fred Claus (2007) Vince Vaughn stars as Fred Claus, the underachieving, bitter brother of Nick "Santa" (who is played by Paul Giamatti). Fred has to move back to The North Pole and ends up helping save Christmas... wait... was that a spolier?
Honourable Mentions
If your tastes lean more towards the horror-side of things, you might want to give "Santa's Slay"(2005) a spin. This Horror/Comedy stars Bill Goldberg as Santa, an evil demon who lost a bet hundreds of years ago and had to deliver joy and presents on Christmas... well the bet is now over... and Santa is ready to return to his evil ways. A great supporting cast includes Robert Culp, Dave Thomas, Emilie De Raven, Saul Rubinek, Fran Drescher & Kris Kattan.
If you are more of an action lover, check out some Local Fare with the TBS made for TV movie "Christmas Rush" AKA "Breakaway"(2002). This Die Hard rip-off was filmed right here in Winnipeg and stars Dean Cain and Erika Eleniak along with Eric Roberts and Aleks Paunovic.
