Omg. Supposedly she didn't work during the period so she shouldn't have killed anyone under her care, but she should obviously know better. Time for her to be retired.
Durham couple who contracted UK COVID variant charged after allegedly misleading contact tracers
A Durham Region doctor and her husband have been charged for allegedly misleading contact tracers about how they were exposed to the contagious coronavirus variant first detected in the United Kingdom.
www.cp24.com
Dr. Martina Weir and her husband, Brian Weir, who works in a non-patient-facing role for the Toronto Paramedic Services, each face two counts of "failing to provide accurate information on all persons that the defendant may have had contact with during their period of communicability for COVID-19" and one count of obstruction "by providing false information to the Durham Region Associate Medical Officer of Health in relation to contact tracing involving the UK variant strain of COVID-19."
Weir works as a physician at Lakeridge Health Centre and two long-term care homes in the region

Being untruthful with health professionals trying to trace their interactions is unacceptable for people in the work professions they are both in.Omg.

Really disheartening that there are so many people in significant public sector positions who clearly operate on a double standard basis. I suppose it's human nature but still very disappointing
Make stupid rules and people do stupid things to get around them.
Under Ontario's provincial lockdown laws, which came into effect on Dec. 26, film and television productions are allowed to continue operating.
"We're not offering haircut appointments, we're offering full auditions," Hirter told CTV News Toronto on Thursday.
Owner Alicia Hirter set up cameras, lights and microphones in her shop and said people who come in for haircuts are now auditioning for a part in a future TV show or podcast.
According to their website, clients can book adult auditions or child auditions. The booking details say the guests will receive a "complete haircut, neck shave, blow-dry and style all while candidly discussing life, its ups and downs and all in between."

I'm a new postal worker.
The covid lockdowns have done nothing but help me out -- I'm working towards the permanent part time... Still considered a casual worker until I hit 480 hours (3 months full time equivalent).
Many co-workers need to take extra time off to cover the parenting obligations. Regulars are shocked that the temps are still working this far past Christmas, all due to the lockdowns.
Yes, I understand the hardships of others, but I can't deny it has helped me out, at least a little bit.
I haven't been near the 401 in 9 months.But the local traffic here in Waterloo is very normal.Odd.
So is this finally the end for the Pounder? It's hard to survive on obscene levels of graft if the games don't happen.

Drove up the expressway a couple times today in what is normally rush hour.
No real slow downs between King St. and Lancaster at all. Normally it's a good 10-15 minute delay between those exits.
Loving the "work from home" traffic. I would estimate a 65% reduction in volume. Fantastic.
Roberta Place in Barrie that is being ravaged (last I heard 122/130 residents infected, 20 dead plus 60 staff infected) has a variant in it. They hadn't isolated which one yet.
Bojo just had a press conference on this topic. Early days but doesn't look good. Increased mortality across multiple age groups.
cp24.com/world/covid-19-variant-found-in-uk-may-be-more-deadly-than-others-says-boris-johnson-1.5278463
"If you took... a man in their 60s, the average risk is that for 1,000 people who got infected, roughly 10 would be expected to unfortunately die with the virus. With the new variant, for 1,000 people infected, roughly 13 or 14 people might be expected to die," he said Friday.
Vallance added: "That's the sort of change for that sort of age group, an increase from 10 to 13 or 14 out of 1,000 and you will see that across the different age groups as well, a similar sort of relative increase in the risk."
EDIT:
UK variant is confirmed at Roberta Place in Barrie
'I’m very concerned about the potential for its spread', UK COVID-19 variant detected at Barrie long-term care home
The United Kingdom COVID-19 variant has been identified at a Barrie long-term care home coping with a massive outbreak of the virus.
www.cp24.com
As of Friday, 124 of 127 residents and 84 staff tested positive for the virus and 29 residents have died. Two essential visitors and three external partners have also tested positive.
Last weekend, the home inoculated 135 staff members and 21 residents with first doses of Pfizer BioNTech’s COVID-19 vaccine.
However, on Thursday, SMDHU Medical Officer of Health Dr. Colin Lee said the home was supposed to get doses of the Moderna vaccine earlier but the doses were diverted to regions with a higher prevalence of long-term care outbreaks.
On Thursday, the provincial government said there were 15 known cases of the UK variant across the province, not including the now confirmed cases at Roberta Place.
