Ontario's closure of outdoor recreational activities (including pickleball!) to control #COVID19 does not make sense.

Outdoor activities are vital for mental & physical health, especially with stay-at-home orders.

Science is clear: Outdoor COVID transmission is extremely rare.

[Isaac Bogoch @BogochIsaac]

Risk of outdoor #COVID19 transmission is tiny.

If you can't separate by 2 meters, put on a mask.

Simple.

Schools in ON closed Dec 18, case count 2,357 that day, 14% of those aged 0-19yrs. Jan 8 case count was 3,443 and 0-19yrs were...14%. With schools closed 3wks, cases climbed 46%, kids carrying exact same portion. Still think schools were driving transmission?#COVID19Ontario

@SterkenJan @MenezesCharles @Travisdhanraj @globalnewsto Jan if only the quality of your education had been higher. Or your level of privilege lower. Then you might have an inkling if what this means for parents.

@randomteacher5 @CaddySh4ck @Travisdhanraj @AM980News @globalnewsto @randomteacher5 that is the most naive, tone-deaf, and stupid thing anyone could say about this impossible situation. How many jobs can you do while assisting a kindergarten child with online learning and caring for a baby?

@dave62 @calphonso That’s my read as well Bryan, so I’m wondering where this organized enthusiasm for the closure is coming from

[gordon mowat @Gordeaux_M]

@dave62 @calphonso Everybody all at once, but teachers first? Is that what’s behind this push- teachers want the vaccine before everyone else?

[gordon mowat @Gordeaux_M]

@dave62 @calphonso So this IS about teachers and the vaccine. @calphonso can you confirm that teachers are asking for vaccinations before reopening schools? Personally I am just wondering what’s driving the push for extending the closure.

[gordon mowat @Gordeaux_M]

@calphonso And what is your plan?

[gordon mowat @Gordeaux_M]

@calphonso You are clearly pushing to extend the closure in Ontario, using rumours from Quebec and experts from Alberta to back your argument. Do you have any suggestions for parents who need to work thru that time? For teachers who are also parents, expected to teach a class and parent?

[gordon mowat @Gordeaux_M]

@dave62 @calphonso Shouldn’t we vaccinate the kids too Dave?

[gordon mowat @Gordeaux_M]

@BradMBradford I’m hearing that fencing has been installed on the tobogganing hill at East Lynn Park. Is this true? Who’s decision is this? What is this meant to achieve? #topoli @TorontosMayor

@TorontoHydro power just went out at M4C near Coxwell/Danforth

@JoshMatlow Mr Matlow it is our job to be confused, your job to get us an explanation.

@CPHO_Canada Also no playgrounds, daycare, preschool or family visits. The kids are living under martial law, while adults are encouraged to continue walking their dogs, enjoy their daily jog, and ride the crowded Dufferin bus to work for minimum wage (and still pay a fare!). Lockdown or not?

@CorrinPhil @MLB They use them in football, seems to work fine.

[gordon mowat @Gordeaux_M]

Hey @MLB, here's an idea- just give the pitchers and catchers earpieces, so they don't have to show their signs. Then nobody will see them to steal them. #buzzergate
