Today we're going to tweet stories of children who have lost their parents, and parents who have lost their children. These are heartbreaking stories. SK schools have a moral obligation to stop community spread and put schools online. @StoonPubSchools @GSCSNews

Single dad, Cory Charles, 32, tested + on March 29, on April 7 he died in his sleep. He leaves behind 2 school aged kids. School divisions have a moral obligation to stop community transmission by going online. bit.ly/3aIWKEy

An EA & mom of 2, from Moose Jaw died on Mar 31. She worked closely with a student who had difficulty masking. How do we look her family in the eye & say the safety of students & staff is our TOP priority?

Family with 11 kids, 1 COVID case at their school. Mom pulled kids & had them tested. 4 kids tested + with no obvious symptoms. How many parents catch COVID from an asymptomatic kid? Level 4 until robust school testing in place. bit.ly/3nnPaUH

Emily Viegas, 13, died on April 22. Her mother was in hospital with COVID, and her father wrongly assumed that she would be okay because COVID "doesn't really impact children". He had to call his wife to tell her. tgam.ca/3aDTw4U

Savannah Noon, 25, from Saskatoon died after COVID destroyed her lungs. @drhassoun says the virus affects everyone differently, & the idea of young people being safe from COVID-19 is not only untrue, it's unsafe.

How many of our families have new babies? After an infant died in a BC hospital, Dr. Henry said, "It reminds us of the vicious nature of this virus." bit.ly/3dSQaxe We have a moral obligation to stop the spread of VOCs. @StoonPubSchools @GSCSNews @stoonteachers /7

Vic Thunderchild, 55, father and teacher died in early April while he struggled for breath in a Prince Albert hospital. How do we tell his family @ colleagues that we have the safety of ed staff as top priority, when we clearly don't? bit.ly/3aF7Eev @SRPSD119 @NLSD113

Every week teachers, ea's, bus drivers, & parents contact us to tell us stories that defy logic. We want to share those stories too. We'll start with today's story: Teacher thinks one VOC case at their school. Get to test site to find out that they are outbreak #387. /9

The most alarming part- the note that went home said one case detected. Why is this information being obfuscated? @SKGov @SaskHealth /10

Ali Syed, 48, died from COVID complications in Regina just days after his baby was born by C-section. He leaves behind his wife, Misbah, and three young children. bit.ly/3vs6YRH /11
