You all love my food content so in honour of the St. John’s downtown burger battle a couple friends are trying 4 of the restaurants as takeout #dtburgerbattle2022
We all kinda have a sense of what we ordered but have also forgotten so it’s also semi blind. Here’s the first one!

It has pork belly in it which we like. We like the flavours. Has Asian flavours. It’s a little salty #burgerbattle
It’s option number 2! It’s hard to snap pics before they’re snapped up. It’s quite sweet, lots of mushrooms (I’m biased not an mushroom fan) the crispy fried unions are nice but it’s a meh
It’s burger number 3. Doesn’t come with fries. It’s very cheesy but we like it, got some spicy to it. Great bun #burgerbattle
It’s burger #4! Some nice flavours we think it might be Miso. I thought it was tough but other people liked it
And the winner is this burger from Piatto! There’s arancini (only downside is you get no fries)
Second is the burger from Sinaing Filipino (the first one)
The other ones were Yellowbelly and Liv (in that order)

For the first time in almost 2 years, NL is not in a public health emergency because of COVID. Restrictions for mask wearing and capacity limits are gone
So what does living with COVID look like from here? Here are some common questions a 🧵 #covid19nfld
cbc.ca/news/canada/ne…
This ending is now what most people were expecting. For most of the pandemic, low covid meant low restrictions, but what happened instead is that COVID is now more contagious but less severe (largely thanks to 95% of the population being vaccinated, but also Omicron)
The ending of the health emergency doesn't mean COVID is over, in fact the chances of you catching it have almost never been higher.

What's changed is that if you do get it, you're much less likely to end up in hospital or die

Yes we're having more deaths, because we're having A LOT more cases

March 2020-December 2022:
-2,000 cases
-18 deaths
(so 1 in 110 cases was fatal)

Dec 2022-present
- 20,000 cases
- 45 deaths
(1 in 444)
#covid19nfld
A couple things to keep in mind, the number of cases since December is actually a lot more than 20,000 (since not everyone can get a PCR test), which means the death rate is actually lower than 1 in 444
Why has COVID become less deadly? Yes the more mild nature of Omicron is one reason, but most people getting COVID now is vaccinated, which has left them better protected from hospitalization and death #covid19nfld

NL and the Federal Government have signed a term sheet agreement on Muskrat Falls rate ministration. Details are very similar to what was announced last July $5.2 billion restructuring #nlpoli Image
The goal is still the same. Keeping rates below 14.7 cents (instead of going to 23 cents) is still the goal. In the first year alone there’s about $500 million going into reducing rates #nlpoli
A chunk of this money (around $200 million) is money the federal government receives from Hibernia and it’s turning it over to the province to pay for electricity.

The province is also giving up some revenue for they money it put in to find construction #nlpoli
