Excellent public health messaging from New York City!!

Be the happy peace sign waving emoji instead of the sick and sniffling emoji.

How can you do that?

Wear a mask! Ideally a respirator like an N95.

It’ll help keep you and your community safe.

Nova Scotia teachers should do the same. We should have fought when this happened to us, and we should be part of the fight now. @halifaxcitylocal.bsky.social
The B.C. Teachers Federation is donating $1 million to support the ATA!

The suppression of charter rights is a huge deal and should only ever be used as a last resort.

Shame the…

premier of Alberta doesn’t get that.

Protect each other! It's a good idea to wear a well-fitted (N95 or equivalent) mask, meet outside when possible, open the windows if you need to be inside, and run those air purifiers.

Nova Scotia once was a leader in clean air in schools. People retired and knowledge was lost, it seems. Political will isn’t there. Even if you don’t care about the kids and staff, preventing all this illness, would result in a better functioning economy. People are functioning at lower levels.

The "AI" responses that Google gives about me and my work are consistently error-prone, which I know because I am me. If I know Google's "AI" responses give incorrect answers about things I know about, I can't trust it to give correct answers about things I don't know. So, no, I don't use it.
I’m surprised you don’t use ai answer engines in research you currently do with Google

As we head back to school, Nova Scotia's Covid Forecast outlook is high and about 1 of every 69 people is infected. You can reduce the spread by staying home when sick, wearing a well-fitting mask, meeting outside when possible, opening windows, and running air purifiers. Take care of each other!
