I guess this would mean remote schooling on Monday. This will be the recommendation and we'll see what the province does with it. My source (who is a teacher) has not heard of this yet. All of the teachers are heavily in favour of doing so though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rebusrankin Posted November 4, 2020 Report Share Posted November 4, 2020 Sadly I can see this government doing that. Most divisions in Winnipeg are scrambling to get to Orange Level with spacing etc and then you're going to announce this? Totally fits these asshats.

blue_gold_84 Posted November 4, 2020 Report Share Posted November 4, 2020 I'm not a Kinew fan by any stretch of the imagination; in fact, I can't stand him. However, it's good to see him call out Friesen for the donkey that he is. JCon and Tracker 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Duper Negatron Posted November 4, 2020 Report Share Posted November 4, 2020 (edited) Well, the good news is my son's result came back early, and negative. Only took about 36 hours. I wonder if the backlog is clearing up. The bad news is my lie about it being "just like a Q-Tip" has been exposed, so getting him tested again if he ever needs it will be a struggle.

They are talking about the risk of Covid-19 mutating in the mink, and going from mink to humans, and potentially affecting a future human vaccine.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracker Posted November 6, 2020 Report Share Posted November 6, 2020 A friend's mom was in the Maples nursing home and family was told this afternoon that she has been taken ill with COVID and is not expected to survive. Soon, there will be many families touched by this plague. Pallister started off well in handling this, but the scope of the crisis has overwhelemed his and Freisen's abilities to cope. Their response so far is to attack concerned physicians- a bad move. Noeller and JCon 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
