To me, the ongoing pandemic isnt JUST about science. It is about morals and ethics.
It is acting on the evidence and the HARM that sars2 is causing. There is evidence of harm.
There is ONGOING evidence of harm
The is evidence of ONGOING transmission of sars2
CLEAN THE AIR
Do no harm

Just saw someone angrily blustering on Facebook that if the scaremongers were right, 30% of people would have long covid by now!!! And welp…
www.cidrap.umn.edu/covid-19/stu...

Studies across 14 nations show 25% to 30% rate of long COVID

Among the 25% of participants in 1 study who said they experienced long-COVID symptoms, 13% reported sleep disorders.

FYI
ON teachers are required to complete annual medical training.
Part of that training involves recognition and policies/practices related to in-school communicable diseases.
All ON school boards continue to ignore COVID-19 as a communicable disease & in-school cases are NOT reported.

"Let's be objective"

No. Well I am, but we are humans and I have feelings!
I don't want to be ill. Is that emotional? DAMN RIGHT!
STOP SPREADING ILLNESS.
HUMANS HAVE FEELINGS AND MOTIVATIONS!
