With heavy hearts and teary eyes, we parted ways with educators, parents and students with #Autism today as Giant Steps York Region closed its doors, following the reckless decision by @YRDSB to end the collaborative partnership, instead of expanding it. 1/3

@YRDSB #SaveGiantSteps we need more schools catering to the needs of those with exceptionalities, not less #AutismDoesntEndAtFord #AutismDoesntEndAtYRDSB

Housing prices to disposable income ratio has completely diverged. There is now no way a future income can justify these fundamentals until there is some return to the mean. The fact 90+% of Canadian net worth is tied to RE is worrying. Remember increase in cost reduces liquidity

[Martin Buckingham @martinbuck2020]

@YRDSB @yrdsbinclusion @yrdsbbcss meanwhile @YRDSB wants to close one of the best autism schools IN THE COUNTRY. Save your fake autism acceptance virtue signalling. #savegiantsteps

@StandingHannah @LizTurell73 feigned support for #SaveGiantSteps while showing her true colours using another account. All the while @yrdsb and @YRDSBDirector did nothing. What is it with this board and autism? What's their problem? #OntEd #onpoli

[Bruce McIntosh #FordLiedToAutisticKids 🇨🇦🇺🇦 @brucemcintosh]

Nothing but stonewalling from @YRDSBDirector and ridiculous excuses from the @YRDSB lawyer. @Sflecce will *YOU* #SaveGiantSteps ? #onted #onpoli

[Bruce McIntosh #FordLiedToAutisticKids 🇨🇦🇺🇦 @brucemcintosh]

@YorkRegion @YRDSB @YRDSBDirector the line "we're not closing the school, we're just ending the partnership" is the same as "we're not ending the marriage, we're just leaving it." #SaveGiantSteps #ontedu #onpoli

[Piragal Thiru @Piragal]

@YRDSB leadership has continued to lie to parents and the members of the public about how programs for kids with autism mirrors that of Giant Steps. Instead of expanding successful models like Giant Steps, they are knowingly pushing kids through the crack to fail. #SaveGiantSteps

[Piragal Thiru @Piragal]

Everything about @YRDSB's decision to end a program for kids with #Autism is backwards and lacks logic, let alone contrary to Provincial guidelines on integration. I am disgusted by both the Board's leadership and the silence of trustees. https://t.co/MNXy82CeXZ

[T K S 🌻🇨🇦 @AutismDoesntEnd]

From trustees targeting parents in a bombardment of harassment, to supports being taken from children with the closing of the boards school for kids with Autism, seems there is a larger problem @YRDSB & it may lie with the @YRDSBDirector

[Martin Buckingham @martinbuck2020]

.@YRDSB What is it with this school board and autism? The infamous autism troll swag_song is apparently a YRDSB trustee? Let's not forget @YRDSB is also closing a school for kids with autism IN THE MIDDLE OF A PANDEMIC! #ontpoli @Sflecce @OntAutism #savegiantsteps

[Jeff Jedras @jeffjedras]

Looking at where outbreaks are occurring, the answer is clear: workplaces. Workplaces are well ahead, followed by education and group/care home settings.

[Jeff Jedras @jeffjedras]

To see it a bit more clearly, let's pull out yesterday's data as an example. 12 cases were linked to travel. A fraction of cases linked to close contact, community spread, and outbreak setting. Outbreak setting, by the way, includes workplaces, plus schools and care homes.

[Dr. Jennifer Kwan @jkwan_md]

Remember when 200 #COVID19 patients in the ICU was considered the threshold at which things were very bad & would impact non-COVID19 healthcare?

ICU total: 851
ICU non-ventilated: 255
ICU+ventilator: 596

[Isaac Bogoch @BogochIsaac]

1/ Eventually we will see a decoupling of new #COVID19 cases from hospitalizations as population-level immunity grows (through vaccination & recovery from natural infection), especially among those at greatest risk for more severe infections.
