AB—important (short) read! I’ve even annotated it for you!
Can we demand @CMOH_Alberta to change to this strategy?
-intelligent micro-lockdowns
-micro-lockdowns that still allow movement w/in a zone
-open micro-zone at zero COVID

We have a lot of advantages in AB that will let us succeed
- disperse population
- even within cities there is space
- great data
- micro-zones already defined (AHS’s geospatial map)
- strong testing tracing (needs to be even stronger)
- AB’s community spirit/intelligence

We certainly have challenges
- W/in each community there are still pockets of increased density—schools/workplaces/churches/retail
- We don’t believe we can eliminate the virus from a zone...but we CAN & already DO!
- Have to remain vigilant (eliminate outbreaks right away)

- *We believe we have to tolerate cases...no we don’t & we shouldn’t! We’re playing Russian Roulette every day in schools w/ CV19 devastating outcomes—brain/lung/kidney damage, permanent heart damage, ICU, long-COVID, death
- Open schools or lockdown forever = false dichotomy!

There is a better way!

Our current plan is unethical!

The">https://www.google.com/amp/s/the... defense is kids at risk are suffering as they are not in school
True.
#Go2Zero takes 4-6 weeks for a micro-zone, maybe less.
Do it ASAP so we can return to truly safe schools & actually focus on teaching/learning!

Please join your school’s parent council and talk about these ideas!
A leader from @endCOVID19 can even join your meeting to help explain how Alberta CAN take a more intelligent New Zealand approach
Start with your school, then your community, then your neighboring communities

A consolidated ground up movement CAN change policy!
If whole schools, whole communities, and whole regions agree,
and we DEMAND a different strategy,
the UCP *has to* change their reckless, unethical policy.
Mayors, we need your help! @nenshi @doniveson @TaraVeer
