Watch this. It shows why we should all do the right thing and stay home to the fullest extent possible. All of us can help slow the spread of the virus, protecting the elderly, the vulnerable, and each other. washingtonpost.com/graphics/…

All mortgage payments and rent should be deferred by at least a month. Self isolation requires a home to do so. If people can't work they risk losing their home. Defer all mortgage and rent. #COVID19

In order to stop #Covid19, the US - like every other country - needs to fight the virus within its borders not at the border. That means building up the capacity to diagnose cases, trace their contacts and isolate them.

Public Health is . . . safe food.
Fun fact: there are more than 90,000 food and drink establishments in Ontario. Public Health Inspectors inspect them all, working hard to educate food handlers and enforce laws to keep you from getting sick while dining out. #WeArePublicHealth

Buried deep in the budget is the cut of 25 public health units across the Province (from 35 to 10). These units oversee water quality, regulate food safety, conduct vaccination programs, & coordinate disease prevention. It’s an absolutely devastating plan. globalnews.ca/news/5158688/o…
