Workplace outbreaks have been a critical source of cases throughout the pandemic. Policies like #PaidSickLeave can help protect the disproportionately low-income and racialized essential workers and their families who continue to be the most affected by COVID-19.

no one told me that in med school I’d spend the same amount of time in (and learn as much from) webinars/events as my actual classes not to mention that there are 192863457 other events that I’d like to attend but overlap

Important to know that Canada plans to pass on surplus vaccine through COVAX to support vaccination in less wealthy countries. So in the case of the Canadian vaccine buy up: that's a global win.
