With current half-measures: cases, hospitalizations and deaths will keep growing

We are in a disaster, which grows every day

The only proven way to do a U-turn is a lockdown with a strong financial support for individuals, businesses and vulnerable ppl https://twitter.com/GosiaGasperoPhD/status/1329600259106824194?s=20

If we decide that we want it, it’s just 8 – 12 weeks to get to #COVIDzero in AB.
We can save lives, livelihoods, healthcare system and the economy.
