5 Things You Need To Know

April 7th is the 97th day of the year. There are 268 days remaining until the end of the year.

Starting at 8am this morning, Ontario residents aged 60 and older, as well as First Nation, Inuit and Métis individuals (and their non-Indigenous household members) aged 18 and over, will be able to book appointments to receive their fourth COVID-19 dose of the vaccine.

Fourth doses are already available to long-term care and retirement home residents, as well as those who are immunocompromised.

The province has seen an increase in hospitalizations and cases since public health measures were lifted.

Chatham-Kent Public Health will now be open 4 days per week to offer fourth doses.

Starting next week the C-K Vaccination Clinic (730 Richmond Street – the former YA building) will now open:

  • Mondays: 9am-4pm
  • Wednesdays: 1:30pm-730pm
  • Fridays: 9am-4pm
  • Saturdays: 9am-Noon

The clinic will continue to offer first, second and booster doses. These are available to walk in or by appointment.

Fourth doses will require appointments. To book an appointment go to GetYourShotCK.ca or by phone at 519-351-1010.

Long requested, Twitter has finally confirmed that they’re working on addding an edit button.

Billionaire Elon Musk, who is now Twitter’s largest shareholder and newly appointed board member, launched a Twitter poll on Monday asking users if they wanted an edit button. More than 4 million people had voted in the first 24 hours.

Twitter themselves joked with an April Fool’s Day tweet saying “we are working on an edit button.” They revealed this week that they’ve been working on it since last year.

Twitter will test the feature in its paid service, Twitter Blue, in the coming months.

The Masters golf tournament begins today.

One of the four major PGA tournaments, and the only one played on the same golf course every year. This is the 86 annual tournament. The winner receives over $2 million dollars and the coveted green jacket. Hideki Matsuyama is the defending champ.

Tiger Woods is the most surprising entry in the 2022 Masters tournament. In February of 2021, he was in a car accident in which he badly injured his leg, nearly losing it completely. At that time, he had said he would never play golf full time again.

You can watch the entire tournament on TSN or the final two rounds on CBS.

After a nearly 100-day lockout that delayed Spring Training and the start of the regular season, today is Opening Day for Major League Baseball.

The first pitch in the season-opening game is this afternoon at 1:05 in New York between the Yankees and the Red Sox.

The Jays and Tigers seasons begin Friday.
