I have decided, now that I no longer work in news, it is time return to Twitter to mainly spend my time complaining about being hungry and also still being mad that I was once blocked on this site by another Allison Bench in the world

@LawyerSteph Hi! Thanks for reading my article! Just as an FYI there are many others in ICU without covid. That's the whole point... If covid patients overwhelm the system many others with other health problems may not have beds. Our capacity info was direct from Alberta Health Services.

[Allison Bench @alliembench]

The thing about COVID, and working from home, is that sometimes I realize I haven't left my apartment building in 72 hours... #SafetyFirst

[Allison Bench @alliembench]

Sometimes stories I write really make me happy, and this was one of them!

@JonathanDenisAB Of course. My apologies for the error.

[Allison Bench @alliembench]

Does anyone else lay awake debating whether they should get up our of a comfy bed and eat or just go to sleep hungry? Both options are brutal

[Justin Trudeau @JustinTrudeau]

Stay home. It doesn’t matter that the weekend’s almost here - if you choose to gather in groups or hang out with your friends, you’re putting yourself, those around you, and our health care workers at risk. So take this seriously. Do the right thing and stay home this weekend.

@NicoleStillger I want you to know I opened twitter specifically to follow you tonight 💯💯💯
