Health-care workers on the verge of burnout are grateful for the sharp jump in vaccine registrations this week in B.C., and want to see it continue.

Case in point
This Delta outbreak happened in Marin County, CA, one of the most highly vaccinated in the US, starting with an unvaccinated teacher.

No mention of rapid tests in this @CDCMMWR report
Yes on ventilation, masking, 💉💉 of course

Another busy groovy day at work in #pediatrics where absolutely ZERO kids complained about wearing their mask.

#WearAMask #MaskUpBC. Why? Scientifically sound. AND thank you @VanIslandHealth to all the youth, yet unvaccinated, who wore masks, until we, their elders, could be vaccinated. Watch Clarksville Elementary. “We Are the World" music... https://t.co/8XQL8jqWEW via @YouTube

Leave it to Canada to show how to vaccinate their population.
First, despite a late start, they exceeded the % 1st dose ceiling set by Israel.
Now on a tear for 2nd dose, and moving faster than any other major country or EU

We are deeply disturbed to hear reports of Indigenous specific racism following a Shelter in Place order by Cowichan Tribes leadership.
What matters most is that we're all in this 𝒕𝒐𝒈𝒆𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓.
