So if I understand this correctly...here's what I should do NOW as a parent: If my child has a headache or a runny nose...don't run and get a #COVID19 test like we were supposed to a few weeks ago...call the doctor. Also...new today...my child clears these symptoms after 24 hours...they can return to school WITHOUT a negative #COVID19 test

Lessons in staying home if you have flu like symptoms #covid19 .@VeraEtches just described to city council one person with flu like symptoms who attended a cottage party

Thanks for the challenge @tobi_nussbaum here’s my #MoveWithUsChallenge a beautiful 50km loop in support of @bgcottawa Having been challenged to show some moves here’s the approach to Blair Hill. a bit of a killer ! #MoveWithUsChallenge

Breaking: tragedy growing in Almonte.
CTV Ottawa confirms there are now 10 residents dead at Almonte Country Haven that has seen an outbreak of #COVIDー19 more here ottawa.ctvnews.ca/10-covid-19-de… This home has 82 residents. 20 confirmed positive for Covid with 6 swabs still waiting. 10 are now dead. It has spread in a devastating way. Unthinkable for families. These people are our most vulnerable citizens.

New stats from @ottawahealth on who is sick with #COVIDー19 43% of people are young: 20-44 years old 38% are between the ages of 45-64 #COVIDー19

I believe Ottawa’s Medical Officer of Health @VeraEtches This is not hysteria. She’s trying to save the lives of vulnerable people. Do what she says. Nothing else matters now. Italy, Spain and France all have universal health care. Thousands are dying. This is not the time to hide from numbers. It is coming.

7 trains this morning. Contract awarded based on 17 trains #OTTlrt @OC_Transpo 17 somehow turned into 15 (never fully explained) so weekday peak became 13 with 2 spares.

Breaking: express buses from Hurdman and Tunney’s going for rush hour tomorrow clearly full trains are not going to be in place by tomorrow #OttawaLRT John Manconi says the buses will create space on trains. Drop offs will be Albert and Slater. Costs passed on to RTG. This is a major return to express buses as LRT remains compromised.

.@JYakabuskiMPP Minister of Natural Resources on 2019 flood report by expert: “He found that nothing pointed to human error or negligent operation of water control structures as the cause of flooding this past spring” For months people affected by the spring floods speculated that human error and dam mismanagement played a role. Not true.

Manconi says testing of @OC_Transpo trains did not result in "systemic" breakdowns they've seen when passengers arrived on the trains @ctvottawa @OC_Transpo @ctvottawa Manconi and @OC_Transpo management blaming RTG.

Thread: I just spoke with a transit rider who was in the @OC_Transpo train that was the original problem this morning. He says train was packed at Bayview station and a passenger approached a closing door. He pushed the outside button and the door opened.

Just returning from City Hall here is what we know on today’s disastrous commute @OC_Transpo 2- Same problem 2 days in a row. 2 different passengers rushing to make 2 different trains...pry open doors and break the doors.

The story of one door....one bad decision...by one passenger....thousands of @OC_Transpo commuters affected in Ottawa @OC_Transpo 2. 8:05 am at UOttawa station customer "pushed open" doors while exiting train...door can't close @ctvottawa

1. So here's what we know about this so far: someone complains about noise at b-ball net...but won't admit it. City Councillor says taken down for safety...b/c late at night ruffians causing trouble. 2. Then we did the story @ctvottawa and all hell breaks loose...a star player with the @WNBA condemns @LeoRautins weighs in...so did @CanBball saying taking down the net was a terribly misguided move.
