You aren’t wasting your self-isolation – you are engaged in one of the largest acts of care in human history GlobeDebate

2: The solitude you’re running from wants to tell you something.

The only way a writer ever gets something written is by paying close attention to their own distraction and learning how to game it. We learn to spot the tiny moment when fear of stillness abates and good work again becomes possible. Does it come after the morning coffee? Between two midnight cocktails? Whenever that brief period may be, we make it sacred and safeguard it because that hard-to-handle solitude is where new ideas emerge.

Phone calls – voice-to-voice interaction – have made a come-back in the age of COVID-19, even among the millennials who were supposedly terrified of that intimate technology.

Trudeau defends new flights bringing Canadians home from across the globePrime Minister Justin Trudeau says Canadians being flown home from abroad must subject themselves to 'rigorous' and mandatory 14-day self-isolation to keep their fellow citizens safe. More of our money wasted. Sock boy will do anything for votes. When is he going to stop hiding and come out and be a leader. His wife has been cleared for a week now and he was not living in same place as her while she was in quarentine. Why is he still hiding? Who are these people? How long have they been away? Are they coming back just to take advantage of our health care system i.e. they might be Canadian in name but haven't lived here in years? The same bunch who think they should vote in our elections.

Toronto announces stricter measures to enforce physical distancing amid COVID-19 pandemicDr. Eileen de Villa said the order was necessary, as there have been reports that people who were supposed to be in self-isolation had not been following the recommendations Government didn't act until too late despite reports indicating the human to human tx, aerosol for hours, surface survivability for days. When people called for our borders to be shut Trudeau and his lackeys called them xenophobic racists. NOW, 'stricter measures' for citizens.. Still short of this measure; ANYONE WITH SIGNS/SYMPTOMS OF COMMON COLD/FLU MUST ALSO BE INSULATED. SOME MAY HAVE COVID BUT THINK IT IS COLD/FLU, so they go out anyway, as we all do with cold. Those who develop temperature may have COVID. Utter and complete draconian nonsense - the numbers don't equal the actions.
