Perhaps it's time for @nsgov to stop blaming 20-39 year olds for being the spreaders and start looking at the risks in its own school buildings. 50% of all cases since Friday have been in school-aged people, with the largest # of cases among those not yet eligible for vaccines.
Since Friday, there have been 84 new cases. By age cohort, they break down as: • 37 are aged 0-11 • 5 are aged 12-19 • 22 are aged 20-39 • 13 are aged 40-59 • 7 are aged 60-79 • 1 is aged 80 or older I realize that adds up to 85; I don't have an explanation

I'm sorry, I've listened to all the arguments and tried to understand people's right to choose - but when your choice means this for a child who can't get vaccinated, I'm done listening.
This three-year-old baby is fighting for her life at a hospital in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Her mother is a healthcare hero https://t.co/oTI5GMKmFi and has been documenting her fight against COVID-19. THIS is the price of "Personal Responsibility." Her name is Aurora, like the princess.

Today is a good day to remember residential schools existed in Canada in 1996. History is not so distant.

This is a complete and utter embarrassment. @nsgov and @nseducation are completely abdicating thier responsibility to keep schools safe. Last time I checked Principals were educational leaders - not interior design experts. #nspoli #nsed
Education Minister Zach Churchill says teachers should "get some advice from their principals" about how to "space out desks in their classroom." #SafeSeptemberNS #nspoli

I just noticed #Chrome now has a built in #QRCode creator located right next to the #SendThisPage button! Use it to instantly generate a #QR code for any website and download it as an image🦖 A nice way to share links in #Slides. @GoogleForEdu #GoogleEDU #GoogleET #GoogleEI

Whether this is your first year teaching or your thirty first year teaching - we are about to embark on the most important school reopening in history. Never has empathy, patience and resilience been more important. We must work together. Together we are better.

Once we return to school buildings, there is a 100% chance I will still tell students to mute themselves. #teacherlife
