July 20, 2020

July 20th is the 202nd day of the year. There are 164 days remaining until the end of the year.

The Heat Warning has been lifted for Chatham-Kent, but it’ll still be hot.

Sunshine and a high of 30 today, humidex will make it feel like 36.

Sunny most of the week, maybe some rain on Wednesday.

Another busy Mobile COVID Testing Drive Thru in Blenheim last week and this week it’ll stop in Thamesville.

The testing will be set up at the Thamesville Area Public School on Thursday and Friday from 10-6.

Everyone is welcome to stop by for a test, must have a valid Ontario health card.

Well, I guess it’s not official.

The Toronto Blue Jays will not be playing home games in Toronto this season.

Despite being approved by the City of Toronto and the province, the Jays were denied their request for an exemption from the federal government to play games at the Rogers Centre.

Immigration Minister Marco Mendicino said that the health risk posed by constant international travel across the border is too high to allow the Blue Jays to play and host teams in Toronto.

The Canadian border is currently closed for all non-essential travel.

Instagram is launching a feature called Reels to compete with TikTok next month.

Much like TikTok, Reels lets users create 15-second video clips set to music.

It began testing the product late last year in Brazil; Facebook expanded that test to Germany and France last month, then to India last week.

Ikea is launching a vegan version of its Swedish meatballs this fall.

They’re calling them “plant balls.”

The balls made primarily with yellow pea protein, oats, potatoes, onion and apple are vegan and vegetarian-friendly when served on their own — and are meant to satisfy meat-lovers as well.

Over 1 billion meatballs are sold at Ikea every year. Plant Balls will be available in European locations beginning in August, North America late September.
