I published a paper with @GHunter_1 on #COVID19 infection fatality rates (IFR), based on work we did early in the pandemic. The specific estimates have been overtaken by new data, the variants, etc., but there are still some interesting lessons in it: https://t.co/kzNEKcMnzE

Some customers Ottawa may be experiencing an Internet or TV service interruption. We are working to restore service as quickly as possible. Thank you for your patience.

Here is a reality check about what Canadian authors actually earn and about the Canadian publishing industry because I think the public has some huge misconceptions about what even a bestseller means. 1/

@NCC_CCN Is the multi use path open across the overpass yet? Or do we still need to detour down through the beach and up the dangerous switchback? #ottbike

My spidey senses are telling me OC Transpo will announce the Trillium Line will launch over the Christmas holidays.

10:30 a.m. Friday media briefing.

[Matthew MacLeod @macleod199]

@Laskinator2 Trillium was okay this morning. Connecting to it…. Iffy

Trillium Line reopening date to be revealed Friday, Dec. 6 https://t.co/CwvFhJJwld

@sfyro Ah, here it is: https://t.co/7tiqgGQ3zN

The cyclist in front of me pressed the E-W button, so I snuck up onto the sensor for the light to actually change.

[Matthew MacLeod @macleod199]

A #PSA to anyone left on #ottbike and #ottwalk - the Trillium/Gladstone crossing signals are active. HOWEVER, the set of beg buttons closest to the bike path appear to be for pedestrians crossing the path E-W, not cyclists crossing the road N-S.

@Laskinator2 ✔️

@Teelin @grilledscheese_ One of the reasons we had problems challenging late pay with Phoenix is because the parts of the CLC that deal with that don’t apply to people hired under the PSEA.

[Matthew MacLeod @macleod199]

@Teelin @grilledscheese_ This may not necessarily be true. In the core public service the only part of the CLC that applies is the health and safety chapter. I don’t know the ins and outs of what Act CP bargaining and standards falls under.

@Laskinator2 @sfyro Biked my daughter to ballet today. Left turn at IPD so thankfully only catch the edge of that construction patch. The pinch at the SW corner of IPD/Richmond is still a bit cute.

@Laskinator2 @sfyro I’ve been going along Armstrong behind Tom Brown, but the melt/freeze cycle of the arena snow has started to make that hazardous. Can’t win!

[Matthew MacLeod @macleod199]

@smwgilbert Like a kickstarter where everyone contributes according to their income and we get roads and water and hospitals and stuff…

[Matthew MacLeod @macleod199]

@Laskinator2 Hatchie matchie. I’m starting to see more cement forms around both Carruthers and Bayswater, but still not totally clear how it’s going to all come together.

Hi #ottbike - our orange Yuba electric cargo bike was stolen from our building in Mechanicsville yesterday evening. The air tag on it was discarded in Chinatown by Bruyere medical clinic. Please keep an eye out! https://t.co/qb2hZNZTs3

@JLeiper Hi Jeff - I appreciate the update. I will say that I saw the “appropriate signage” this morning and it says “sidewalk closed.” In fact, the sidewalk is open, it is the bike lane that is closed. Mixed and potentially confusing messages are not great for traffic safety.
