Quebec so far this week:

• Synagogue firebombed

• Imam says Jews should be exterminated

• Pro-Palestinian screams "kike" at Jewish student

• Professor calls Jewish student "a whore," says go back to Poland

• Two Jewish schools hit with gunfire

And it's only Thursday.

@GermHunterMD I went to the high school attached to UTT (one of the schools shot at). Sadly, to your point, even the commentator above me couldn’t control themselves.

Thankful to be part of this very nice study by @MattHer67388802, @VivianaSimonLab, Harm van Bakel and Mia Sordillo. SARS-CoV-2 arrived earlier in NYC than people thought. https://t.co/yz4Pig7ux2

@morah_sarah @JohnSkylar The study they refer to doesn’t separate indoor and outdoor dining. However agree with John, given nyc hasn’t seen a bump despite widespread outdoor dining, it is probably minimal risk
