#Thread The severe disruption caused by Covid 19 globally has escalated daily over the past week, and resulted in increasingly stringent measures to safeguard populations around the world including the Jamaican population.
The Covid crisis will certainly have adverse economic implications for the world and for Jamaica.

The good news, however, is the the Government of Jamaica is providing a $25 billion stimulus, the largest stimulus in Jamaica’s history that could not come at a better time.
Pumping $25 billion into the economy at a time of uncertainty like this helps to support economic activity in Jamaica.

The reduction in GCT by 1.5% from 16.5% to 15% puts $14 billion back into the hands of consumers and supports consumption.

As we navigate unprecedented times, we must take unprecedented action to help our residents & our economy now & in the future. That’s why I am launching an Economic Support & Recovery Task Force to help protect Toronto’s economic success in the wake of the #COVIDー19 pandemic.
The Task Force will identify immediate and longer-term economic recovery strategies for residents and businesses, with a focus on supporting those segments of the economy that are most strongly impacted by #COVIDー19, such as tourism, hospitality and entertainment.
The focus of the Task Force will be on quickly determining what current supports and stimulus work needs to be done. The City will be working with industry partners to identify actions to support businesses, workers, and residents in responding to the economic impact of COVID-19.

This is an incredibly inaccurate headline and article.

Bottom line: the Canadian government - led by Prime Minister @JustinTrudeau - has been acting to protect Canadians since the very beginning of #COVIDー19.

Here's a bit of a timeline... 1/
When the disease became a real concern for Canadians abroad, the government acted to get hundreds of Canadians home safely. 2/
rcinet.ca/en/2020/01/29/…
During that time, Canada's top public health official, Dr. Tam, (@CPHO_Canada) and the Minister of Health, @PattyHajdu, began sharing with Canadians the best public health practices and measures to follow.

And they still are. 3/

#Thread AG Barr on Section 230 & Big Tech

"Today online platforms have become essential to American's daily lives, often serving as the primary conduit for how we receive & share information."

Barr then discusses how due to Big Tech's changes, Sec. 230 needs to be looked at. 1/
Attorney General Barr on Big tech Censorship

"The lack of feasible alternatives is relevant in the Sec. 230 discussion, both for those citizens who want safer online spaces & for those whose speech has been banned or restricted by these platforms." 2/
AG Barr: "The goal of firms is to maximize profit, while the mission of the government is to protect American citizens & society...law enforcement can not delegate our obligations to protect the safety of the American ppl purely to the judgment of profit seeking private firms" 3/

Starting "Voices without Frontiers" #VoicesIWS
A program by @IWS_Network to promote awareness about the challenges & lessons learned by #Immigrant and #International #WomenInScience

I was born & raised in Chicoral, Colombia. A tiny town in the middle of the Andes Cordillera.
I attended Nuestra Señora del Rosario school, located in Espinal, 15Km away from Chicoral. Due to the high heat by noon, all schools start really early back home. This meant, I had to wake up at 5am to attend school every morning since I was 4 years old. #VoicesIWS
I did well in math and science in elementary and high school, so I chose to study clinical microbiology. Although coming from a low-middle income family, I was able to attend university, thanks to my parents’ effort to prioritize education over other commodities. #VoicesIWS
