An #Immunology Bedtime Story: A few days ago I got my flu shot. The needle breached my skin barrier and deposited inactivated pieces of selected strains of Influenza into my system. This breech sounded the alarm and my immune system went into action.

Dear @HaltonDSB @MordenHDSB, please read this important thread.
Dear @tdsb, @TDSBDirector ; I know the province has screwed you over. But we're all in this together, and here are some immediate, low-cost steps within your power to reduce the spread of Covid-19 in schools. Given high community spread in Toronto, speed is of the essence. /1.

“Our new normal is always feeling a little off balance, like trying to stand in a dinghy on rough seas, and not knowing when the storm will pass. But humans can get better at anything with practice, so at least I now have some ideas for working on my sea legs.”.
I hit a wall in June/July. It started before that, then got worse. I wasn't alone but felt like I was. Thx to @acsifferlin, who saw potential in what I'd shared in a group, I turned my frustration into a story for others experiencing it too. Hope it helps

Interesting feed on the #wickedproblem of getting kids back to school.
THREAD: This wk, @SickKidsNews published a proposed approach to return to school. It generated a spectrum of opinions on social media & TV/radio. I'll discuss how this is a wicked problem and a #design approach should be used, at least in part. 1/
