This round pits a film about a group of outlaws trying to pull off one last score against an electric performance by Heath Ledger in Christopher Nolan’s superhero flick.
From 72 hour book quarantines to constant sanitation measures, experts are saying it’s time to move past “hygiene theatre” – cleaning behaviours that give people a sense of security, but are actually unlikely to reduce COVID-19 transmission.
Research has repeatedly shown that the risk of surface transmission is relatively low and can be addressed through conventional cleaning, the scientific director of Ontario’s COVID-19 Science Advisory Table said.
The environmental impact of disposable wipes, the cost of disinfecting supplies, and the burden on restaurant and retail employees are further reasons to start being pragmatic about hygiene practices
In the coming weeks, Britain will continue its gradual reopening, driven by mass uptake of the Oxford-AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine – one of the fastest immunization efforts in the world
While health officials in many countries, including Canada, have voiced reservations about the AstraZeneca vaccine due to the rare risk of blood clots, Britain built its immunization campaign around the shot.
In recent weeks “more people have seen the news about the rare cases of blood clots but it hasn’t affected overall [vaccine] sentiment,” said Bobby Duffy, director of the policy institute at King’s College London.
The Pfizer vaccine was previously authorized for anyone 16+.
A trial of more than 2,200 youth in that age group in the U.S. recorded no COVID-19 cases among vaccinated kids. The trial used the same size doses, and the same two-doses as for adults.

Canada will cut its greenhouse gas emissions by up to 45% by 2030, Prime Minister @JustinTrudeau said today at a virtual Climate Summit hosted by U.S. President @JoeBiden.

Meanwhile, Toronto and Peel Region have issued orders that would close businesses for 10 days when at least 5 confirmed COVID-19 cases have been identified within two weeks that could “reasonably" have been acquired in the workplace.
The change in approach on sick days came as the province's COVID-19 Science Advisory Table issued a rebuke of Ontario’s recently announced pandemic measures.
The group called for closing non-essential workplaces and providing emergency sick pay.
