Regarding today's presser: It won't be enough. We remain in trouble. I was heartened by Dr. Hinshaw's exhortation for Albertan's to cancel holiday gatherings, but doubt if our "personal responsibility" will be strong enough to overcome our need to get together. 7/
most of the other half measures seem to be half measures. Most dont' acknowledge the problem of airborne spread. My favourite non-sensical one is that a venue with a 501 capacity is capped at 500. Also liquor curfew returns because???? 8/ Source: cbc.ca/news/canada/edβ¦
Very very glad to see an acknowledgement of the concerning airborne nature of the virus, but flat out misinformation that a medical mask can be well-fitting. Just not true. It's called the #wearareespiratorwave for a reason. 8/
