Eileen. In honour of our lovely 3 legged pup we adopted from the @BC_SPCA 11 years ago. She went over the rainbow bridge last month. She was our joy. We named her Eileen (Ili) after @DreverEileen and because she leaned on us. She was missing her left front leg. ❤️

That's why, at EVERY news conference, Dr. Bonnie Henry reminds people to "be kind, be calm and be safe." Don't judge others. Don't shame strangers. We're all in this together. Those reminders are as important as physical distancing, washing your hands & not touching your face.

The thing about the next phase of #COVID19 is that even though the government will work to ensure collective activity doesn't surge past the "60% of normal" level, each individual will have their own comfort level — both for themselves, and for others. There's gonna be tension.
