What do "No mow May" and the Freedom Protests have in common? Sometimes doing nothing is the best chance we have.

I have had only minor criticisms of Public Health throughout the pandemic during the past year. But after the announcement about AstraZeneca on May 12th, I'll say what Dr. Strang hasn't.

Lots of chatter and excitement about the Leafs and the Habs in the Stanley Cup playoffs. But fighting back against the pandemic is a bigger "sport" that has spawned some strange pivots.

As we all lean into the second massive lock down in this third wave of Coronavirus, it's easy to forget we're all in this together.

As the Nova Scotia wave three lock down continues, there are people claiming the rule followers are wrong for following the herd. But we know how that works for zebras and why blending in can make all of the difference when it comes to survival.

As the positive case count continues to hit new records and anti-lockdown protestors are planning more rallies, I'm optimistic. And a chewing gum commercial is a great source for inspiration.

Doctor Strang and the Nova Scotia Department of Health and Wellness didn't do much to help us sort out the mixed messages about AstraZeneca and the mRNA vaccines. Telling people to discuss it with their health provider or pharmacist didn't help the two people who died from COVID this week.

It's so easy to be sure of everything when it's so easy to find people who agree with you. And for COVID deniers and free speech advocates, we sometimes have to know that we just don't know everything.

The agency tasked with giving advice on immunization in Canada is delivering mixed messages when it comes to AstraZeneca and the so-called preferred vaccines. But isn't the reward still greater than the risk?

It's a hyper-aggressive social media moment where we just can't accept opinions that differ from our own. While people can be upset when it threatens herd immunity, I say let's just stay physically distanced if we can't agree on the basics.
