Happy Sunday! ❄️ Bad news: this new variant is spreading quickly & our current restrictions don’t seem to be enough. Xmas & NYE going to make it worse. Please be cautious & keep distancing/avoid indoor/crowded places!! Just need to get through this hardest period until Spring.
We all want schools open. But the challenge is keeping schools open with high transmission. Cases will keep arising in schools & bubbles sent home repeatedly. That’s not sustainable education. We all have to work together to break chains of transmission & get our numbers down.
What should govt be doing? Clear messaging is the start and using the tools we have: vaccines, mass testing, supported isolation, enhanced restrictions with economic support, pausing schools (except for certain groups) for 2-3 week to assess latest evidence & travel restrictions.

I realize how hard this is. Jobs being lost, kids out of school, loneliness and depression, feelings of isolation and loss. But much better days ahead. We always knew winter months would be the worst. Take it day by day and look ahead to Spring. Reach out if you’re struggling.
Final reflection: no amount of spin, twisting of words, waffle or bluster is going to get us through this crisis. This virus is no joke. We need clear strategy, decisive leadership, attention to detail and logistics, transparency & honesty with the public & trust and solidarity.
