In today´s briefing, May 26th, you said you were being somber, I say you were being very realistic and we thank you for that. Much has to be learned and going around the bushes does not help anybody.
Thank you again

Given that there is still a lot of COVID-19 unknowns, these briefings are extremely useful in generating and exchanging ideas which can be acted upon as part of a community based response which can complement the nationally driven top down public policy actions like lockdowns that have been especially harmful to older adults, resulting to the high fatality rates among this sector of the population.

I meant to mention on today’s briefing that May 11 to 17th is Nurses week in Canada. Today is specific to nurses; Florence Nightingale’s 200th year of her birth, May 12th 1820.
Today’s briefing was particularly helpful in preparing to be COVID Ready, thank you. Each one building on the previous one, and yes, it does encourage me to come back for the next one! I enjoyed meeting David’s family, online, at the end of today’s briefing.
Thank you and keep up the good work, Best wishes, Tracy, Vancouver
