Around the world, the COVID-19 situation continues to evolve rapidly. I want you to know that we’re working around the clock & doing everything we can to support our economy & keep you safe. And yesterday, we announced additional measures we’re taking to do just that. ⤵️
.@MarcGarneau announced we are delaying the start of the cruise ship season until July 1st at the earliest, and we are not allowing any cruise ships to dock in Northern communities this season. More on how this will help prevent the spread of COVID-19: bit.ly/2QeGaSI
.@BillMorneau also announced that we are providing $10 billion in support to Canadian businesses through @BDC_ca and @ExportDevCanada. This will help stabilize our economy & protect workers right across the country. Get more info on this support here: bit.ly/3aZLl0N
.@FP_Champagne has advised that you avoid all non-essential travel outside Canada. We’ve also enhanced screening & detection processes at all international airports, and land border, ferry, and rail ports of entry to slow the spread of COVID-19. More info: bit.ly/3aPseX0
These are significant steps - and we will do more if needed - because protecting our economy & keeping you safe is our top priority. We’ll continue to work with all orders of government, businesses, and public health officials. And we will get through this together.

As COVID-19 continues to spread, we are taking every precaution to minimize the health, economic, and social impacts of the virus in Canada. And today, we announced a billion-dollar COVID-19 Response Fund to address the impacts of the virus on our country and to keep you safe. ⤵️
This fund will provide money to the provinces & territories to support our health care system. That’s more money for surgical masks, face shields, testing, and equipment they need to address the outbreak. It will also help fund vaccine development & support clinical trials.
We’re also going to support workers and businesses impacted by the virus. We will waive the one-week waiting period for Employment Insurance sickness benefits to kick in. And we will enhance the Work-Sharing Program to help employers who are facing a downturn in business.

Yesterday marked 100 days since the new Cabinet was sworn in. And in that time, we’ve been focused on building a Canada where everyone has an equal chance to succeed. Check out this thread to see what we’ve been up to over the past few months: 👇
We cut taxes for the middle class. It was the first thing we did as a government in 2015, and it helped to lift more than 1 million Canadians out of poverty. And that’s exactly why we did it again in 2019.
We recently lifted a drinking water advisory that had been in place for 17 years, the 88th long-term advisory lifted since 2015. 149 short-term advisories have also been lifted. But our work will not be done until every person living on reserve has access to clean drinking water.

Hier marquait le 100e jour depuis l’assermentation du nouveau Conseil des ministres. Et pendant ce temps, nous avons fait une priorité de bâtir un Canada où chacun a une chance réelle de réussir. Suivez le fil pour voir nos réalisations des derniers mois : 👇
Nous avons baissé les impôts de la classe moyenne. C’est la première mesure que nous avons prise en 2015, et elle a aidé à sortir plus d’un million de Canadiens de la pauvreté. Et c’est exactement pour cette raison que nous en avons fait une autre en 2019.
Récemment, nous avons levé un avis sur la qualité de l’eau, en place depuis 17 ans… le 88e avis à long terme levé depuis 2015. Nous avons également levé 149 avis à court terme. Mais aussi longtemps que des gens n’auront pas accès à de l’eau potable, nous serons là.

We’ve increased tests in UK for Coronavirus #COVIDー19 5,000 in one day on Friday, and at least 37,746 overall. We’re testing well above most countries (save Italy / China / S Korea).

I’ve had some questions on why we’ve changed the testing approach. I’ll try to explain here 1/
Firstly we need to prioritise testing the most vulnerable to ensure we understand their care needs and what treatment they need.

Secondly we’re testing medical / caring staff to limit the spread of the virus to most vulnerable 2/
The test is not 100% accurate (no test is and this is a new virus) and can give false negative results as you need a certain viral load to get a positive test. 3/

As the US and many other countries brace for an uptick in new infections, hospitalizations, and deaths due to #COVID-19, here is one other problem almost no one is talking about: long-term chronic illness.
It can often be triggered by a severe viral infection, could be a far more common outcome than death, and yes, afflicts the young.
This study found that of people infected by Ross River Virus, Epstein-Barr Virus, OR Q fever (three completely unrelated infectious agents) 11% met #MECFS criteria six months later ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/16950…

Day 8 of aggregating information on what goes on with #COVIDー19 in Iran.

Picking up from yesterday:

As stated before:

Finally authorities are putting Mazandaran province on quarantine: only fuel and food trucks are allowed. This late, its effectiveness will be limited.

The same authorities have had argued for quarantine to be "non-scientific" and "from middle ages".

Earlier this week we were notified by our local health department partners of a Chicago resident who had returned from Wuhan on January 13.  The individual did not have symptoms while travelling.
More recently, the individual began experiencing symptoms, called healthcare providers and ultimately was admitted to the hospital and placed in isolation.  As the patient did in this case, we ask that any individuals who begin experiencing symptoms and...

The current dialogue about #DACA affects everyone in the US. How?

#Racism & #scapegoating & affect all minorities.

Deporting #DREAMers & undocumented #immigrants will have very negative impacts to the #economy. That affects everyone else. THREAD 1 #DreamActNow #immigration
The sociological concept of the “other” is important to this discussion. If you haven’t heard of it before, here is a brief overview from othersociologist.com/otherness-reso…. 2 #identity #race #sociology #Science
People in power define social identities as they have the means to control the narrative – news coverage, platforms to broadcast their platforms, & the power to influence law enforcement and legislation. Social identity affects how people perceive themselves and others. 3
