There is also other side of the coin to consider - those students who at a higher risk because of remote learning. Those who won't have breakfast or lunch, those with parents who can't or won't supervise them, and those who are disadvantaged because they can't access technology.

I am not against closing schools if that's what the numbers indicate. There have been enough remote learning periods to show whether or not there was up tick of cases when schools opened again. And, more importantly, an uptick in severe outcomes.

The union is asking for all of January, so we'll probably have one week or nothing at all.

It's inevitable at this point. Anyone who's not vaccinated is basically a sitting duck. No amount of testing, isolating or lockdowns will make much of a difference. Omicron is going to find everyone.

The Winnipeg School Division Board Chair is calling for KN95 / N95 masks for all staff and students, rapid tests for all schools and a period of remote learning after Christmas. (CJOB interview) I hope remote learning doesn't happen - the focus should be on getting more kids vaccinated.

PC strategists are now saying Glover had ballot boxes all over the Bible Belt. Are we supposed to believe Stephenson didn't?

And perhaps a promotion to a coveted mod position. 😁😁

Contact tracing has to be impossible at this point, so I have no idea, and I wouldn't do it unless my workplace required it.

If rapid tests had been made widely available several months ago, it would have made a big difference I took a rapid test as soon as I noticed symptoms, tested positive, and immediately started isolating There was really no need to waste the time and resources of the medical system with a PCR test Rapid tests might give you a false negative, but if you're positive with a rapid test, you can be certain that you've got Covid

About pulled posts: sometimes I choose to exstiguish a fire before it starts. I do not pick on just one poster when I do this, and I don't always have the time or the energy to send a PM. Cheers.

Winnipeg dreams things that never were...and says...why not?

The same thing was true with Delta. They need to start reporting on the effectiveness of preventing severe outcomes - that's what really matters.

77 + 23 = 100

I have been noticing this for quite some time. It is not exclusive to the poorly educated or the religious, it exists in most groups of people, and in all walks of life.

He'll take a cut...and make up the difference with another Grey Cup championship.

I think that depends on what other eastern teams do at the QB position If it's a re - run / reshuffle MBT, Nichols, and VAJ / Harris, then I dare say Hamilton will come out of the east again

^^ And until that happens, I guess they'll keep dithering about group sizes.

Planes though - planes will keep coming.

Winnipeg was trending down, now Winnipeg is strongly in the lead again The only thing they could have done is keep all travelers out, which is not feasible.
