A coworker observed that an occupational hazard of working in a place where we hand out rapid tests kits is the risk of people over sharing *why* they want the tests. This gives you this wild anecdotal taste of how widespread Covid is right now – business owners, parents, students, neighbours on each side of […]
One of the hardest things about the pandemic is trying to keep up with the latest news/developments/theories (and the fact these are ever-changing gives a lot of fuel to anti-vaxxers which is a different discussion.) Even as a trained librarian who’s pretty obsessively following the latest in Covid news, I’m the first to admit I […]
I’ve been thinking about writing a longer post with some thought about how people’s personal social media (and blog?!?) posts are increasingly having repercussions on their work life. This was especially relevant after the Sask Health Association sent out some fairly chilling messages to staff who were posting thoughts/opinions/information about Covid a few months ago. […]
Especially with there still being so much uncertainty around Covid, it’s such a relief to finally have everyone in the family on their way to being fully vaccinated. I know kids are generally at lower risk from Covid but I also know that even though your odds of winning a lottery are one in a […]
I get why “attend” is important for kids who miss school regularly (even before Covid, schools were doing an “attendance matters” campaign) but I’ve always hated this implied pressure to show up to school no matter what without the consideration that a) it’s okay for kids who are sick to stay home and b) even […]

This tragic series of posts by an anti-vax single mother as she catches Covid, is hospitalized, sees her condition worsen, begs for people to donate money and take care of her family if she passes then eventually dies could be an effective public service announcement *in favour of* vaccination. This is one of the top […]
This thread probably isn’t a good one to read ever, let alone on the scariest day of the year! “Scientists of Reddit, what’s a scary science fact the public is generally unaware of?” Happy Halloween everyone! This one is of particular interest to Saskatchewan… If you think the pandemic was bad, this is possibly the […]
