A single person on ODSP gets $1169 a month, unchanged since October 2018. Meanwhile cost of living did that: Looking back further, we see that ODSP had moved in lockstep with cost of living from 2012-2018 before uncoupling. Had ODSP kept pace with CPI over the last 10 years, it would be at $1315/mo instead of $1169/mo.

Pandemonium in NYC this week as in-person schools resumed. About 33% of students were absent. Many schools overwhelmed by staff shortages just sent students to the auditorium where they did nothing all day. "At John Bowne High School in Flushing, Queens, nearly 40 out of roughly 200 teachers were out on Monday, according to a teacher there, requesting anonymity for fear of reprisal. About 45% of the school’s more than 3,000 students were out, city data show." ny.chalkbeat.org/2022/1/3/22865…

Delivery! Lots and lots of Pfizer in there. Anticipating a huge day here in Thorncliffe Park. I'll check back in at around midnight. They're planning to do deep into the night.

Happy Mother's Day to all the staff; I'm sure their mothers will understand. Two hours before clinic opened, the makeshift pharmacy was already in high gear, getting all the doses ready.

This week's Hot Spot Tracker:
Lots of progress in Toronto, esp Scarborough. Movers of the week: M1G, M1L, M1P, M3K, all with 9-10% gains. Pop ups by @SHNcares, @MGHToronto and partners made a difference, i.e. helped these laggards get to the midfield. thelocal.to/hot-spot-track… Not all parts of Scarborough are doing well. M1B (Malvern) and its sister neighbourhood M1X continue to lag. They, and M9M, M9V in Rexdale are postal codes of concern.

Mass urban vaccination in US has been hampered by lack of language diversity on vaccine teams and booking systems. Here are just some of the non-English/French languages spoken in Covid hotspots in Toronto. We ready?
socialplanningtoronto.org/languages_map Case Study: In this NYC neighbourhood, where 69% are Hispanic, no vaccine clinic staff spoke Spanish. Staff had to rely on the reporter from @THECITYNY to help translate. thecity.nyc/coronavirus/20…

Been talking with my Asian-Canadian friends about the fact that one of the officers in the Floyd video is Asian-American. Naturally, we feel a sense of shame and guilt about the silent complicity of "one of our own." In a deeper way though, such complicity in endemic within Asian communities in North America where the myth of being a "model minority" means fitting in to certain notions of success, and not rocking the boat while getting there.
