@bkives @dexmcmillan The lack of clear denominator is also super misleading.

@bkives @dexmcmillan This graphic is missing so much data and is normalized in the strangest way (-%). Just use the one below.

Congrats @davidnoelromas on completing his 2nd successful podcast series! Highlighting unique stories in businesses and now staff engineering.

Well, my friends... in the words of Chaucer and Nelly Furtado: good things, too, must end. Today's episode of StaffEng is the *final* episode. podcast.staffeng.com/1687069/978127… 🧵

@jeope @OlyBackstrom Thanks for sharing! We vaccinated 2 on the boulevard by our place on Sherburn and noticed some others down the block do the same. It was actually pretty reasonable considering how much we love the trees, but frustrating the city wont do this themselves.

@mmarginet So rather than a) do a u turn (correct move) or b) drive the wrong way down a one way, putting themselves in danger, people opt to c) drive a giant metal box next to vulnerable road users, including kids. Insane.

Great thread on cloth masks prevention of aerosols (>=1-2 microns)
Linsey Marr https://www.threads.net/@linseycmarr@linseymarr
We started studying cloth masks in March. Preprint now at medrxiv.org/content/10.110… Take-home: Cloth masks are not an N95, but they work reasonably well for aerosols 1-2 microns and larger, which is the size that we think mostly mediates transmission. See thread. /1

An open letter about the outbreak at Victoria Hospital, and how nurses and patients were put at risk. Everyone should read this.

At this moment, a city contractor is removing a massive elm from my back yard. It was sentenced to death by DED.
It was more than a century old. It provided shade for my entire yard. I could sit below it during a rainfall and remain dry.

Residents are not being widely tested for COIVD, just who CV deems a close contact. Why not be prudent and bring in a mobile site for a day to test everyone? These are not low-risk Winnipegers, as the article tries to imply @roussin_brent ctv.news/KPvZ2em

@CBCManitoba It is the responsibility of health officials, politicians and other authorities to be informed, and communicate rationales clearly to the public. No more withholding data, divisive politics, or anti-vax rhetoric. And do not discourage critical thinking. Obvi.

Manitoba premier's suggestion to "armchair critics" questioning pandemic/back-to-school response plan
"If you start questioning everything that the health leaders do, you're going to encourage your kids to be doubtful and fearful and that wouldn't be a good thing to do."
English
@ohryan @brent_bellamy That would harm the deep root systems of the beautiful old trees that line the boulevard. How about as a good compromise we keep a few roads for pedestrian/cyclists and cars can drive literally anywhere else?
English
@brent_bellamy Alternately, paving that footpath in the middle of wellington and maybe making it a little wider would be a good (albeit non-free) compromise IMHO.
English
Alternate headline. Winnipeg closes 80% of its open streets.
Pandemic is over. Return Wellington to its previous life as a car funnel. Don’t provide kids with any safe routes to get to school.
Are we the first city in Canada to give back its open streets to cars?

Motion passed to extend out pedestrian & cycling routes beyond Sept 7th Wolseley Avenue & Churchill Drive. (one existing route (Wolseley)& one net new since the pandemic (Churchill)) great team work at City Centre today @johnorlikow @cindygilroy
English
@CBCManitoba It looks like a motion to approve extension for the Wolseley and Churchill AT routes past Sept 7 went through. That means 80% are still on the chopping block. Keep voicing your concerns to your city councillors to keep all of these streets open!

@DaleEdmunds @SherriLRollins Note the timestamp on my tweet. Excellent that there is progress, although not for those who don’t live near Wolseley/Churchill drive. Hopefully more AT extensions coming!
English
English
@SherriLRollins @SwansonAnders Why no motion to extend them this time though? I asked what we can do, not what has been done and is no longer relevant. We’re filling out the polls, using the streets fully, sending the emails, advocating as delegates. Do you need another petition? What?
English
@LauraMel @SwansonAnders I’ve extended them twice by motions actually.
