The "omicron is mild" narrative is so pervasive, I'm now hearing stories of parents of kids who are covid+ deliberately not isolating siblings from them, in the hopes that they get infected so they'll be "done w/ it." Sort of like a chicken pox party.
This is NOT a good idea. 1/

TODAY'S FACT: Men are naturally better at looking after kids, cleaning the toilet and doing the laundry. Women are naturally better at reading the news on their phones in peace. Thanks science for that one.

Apparently in Luxembourg your commute is part of your workday and that made me wonder how cities would look different if the employer was obligated to pay you for your commuting time. The difference it would make in the kinds of infrastructure that is prioritized.

Every time you plan to meet up with other households, travel to see people, or visit busy places, remember to do a lateral flow test before you go. You can get them from test sites, pharmacies or online. Thank you for playing your part and living safely this winter.

We asked families of disabled children and youth about #BackToSchool in #bced, in light of the #Omicron variant. They want overwhelmingly for their children to not be left out and excluded from their education. 1/?

If you want to stop the virus from shutting down the country, the best way to do that is to implement multiple public health measures that slow transmission and support people when they are sick.
Not to rush people back to work without adequate testing or protection.

You made it worse @CBCNews @cbc 🤦🏼♀️ - what’s “staggering” is a judge acknowledging an ex-husband is likely to murder his wife, & the only steps taken are to give her $ for security. This story is about #ViolenceAgainstWomen not cash. Fix it please 👇
