We’re at this really strange split in Saskatchewan right now, where the Ministry of Health and Health Authority are giving wildly different messages about the pandemic.
We got these two letters in the same email from our oldest’s school today:

The first one is from the Ministry of Health. I want you to compare the tone of this one to the one in the next tweet. 
This is on the health authority website, linked to on the same email, and is signed by all the medical officers of health in the province.
They are VERY different messaging about the situation we’re in.

Ministry of Health: stick to public health measures, vaccination will save us
Public Health: Public health rules are the absolute bare minimum, don’t see anyone, vaccinations won’t save us fast enough!

Ministry of Health: We’ll be fine.
Public Health: We’re so fucked.

Everyone’s got to make their own decisions, but we’re at a real tipping point here.
Vaccines will be rolling in but not as fast as variants. These next 2-3 weeks are absolutely key.

We’re all tired.
We just need one more push.
Would be nice if the Ministry of Health and the rest of the government backed up the fears of its own health authority though.
