SOME OF OUR TWEETS HAVE BEEN LIES
Yes, it's true. Some tweets were lies. But they were small lies & they served a purpose.
We'll get to that...after we chat about today's numbers.

No one would blame you for being startled by today's numbers. It's a normal reaction. 151 is a big number.
There are only a handful of times when we've had daily numbers this high.
Plus, our % positivity and cases per 100,000 are now deeply into the Red zone. Not good. (2/12)

It's very easy to see this and be overwhelmed.
And it's also easy to see this and feel numb. In the world of crisis comms, we call this alert fatigue.
You can only hear us warn you about the need to be vigilant so many times before it just becomes an "Ok, sure" moment. (3/12)

The lies were small, btw.
Being tired of this is normal. The ups & downs of the COVID-coaster are brutal. But it won't last forever.
Yes, you're tired of hearing this. And frankly, we're tired of saying it. We can't wait to tweet about something else!
Condoms? We're in. (4/12)

And please know that the lies didn't really hurt anyone. They were mostly harmless.
Anyhoo, even though we're all tired, we have to see this through.
And we WILL see this through.
Today is a hard day, yes. But there is also hope all around us. We just need to look! (5/12)

This week we hit a milestone: 100K vaccine doses administered in Ottawa! And we broke our 1-day record by giving 5,621 doses yesterday!
Remember 2020? When vaccines were a "next year" thing?
Now they're here, & every eligible resident will be able to get one in due time. (6/12)

And even though we do feel bad about the lies, we feel incredible about the vaccines. They are a source of hope. A literal dose of goodness into our arms.
This sentence is a lazy segue.
The problem now is that we need to hold on until the vaccines can have a real impact. (7/12)

Things do not have to get worse before they get better. And all of our actions can help that.
We checked, and winter is officially over. So, we can get outside & enjoy the fresh air more safely.
We can support our local businesses by ordering curbside pickup & takeout. (8/12)

We can go to restaurants w/the people we live with and go get haircuts (be sure to #WearAMask & provide contact info).
Oh, and be kind to the people who take care of you at those places, btw. They didn't make the rules.
They're just trying to keep you, and them, safe. (9/12)

We've been here before, Ottawa.
We've seen numbers rise, we've read these ridiculously long threads & we've heard from Bruce.
And each time, we brought it back. Because our actions matter.
Even our lies matter. We've lied 173 times on Twitter, & each one was necessary. (10/12)

Basic actions work. Wearing a mask, keeping your distance, sticking to members of your household, washing hands & staying home/seeking testing if you're sick.
It worked before. It'll work now.
We WILL bring this back & we WILL see this through.
That's the honest truth. (11/12)

Ok, the lies. Sometimes we write things as bait to get you to reply. So...
...every time we said pineapple doesn't belong on pizza was a lie.
Every. Single. Time.
Hawaiian pizza is a delicious national treasure.
All those tweets were lies. We are not sorry.
-OPH out. (12/12)
