| 1624868821793218560 | NS is still rated severe by @MoriartyLab Canadian COVID Forecast. Maybe someone should tell the @nsgov and public health. https://t.co/WQ4Xdhnxgt | 17 |

| 1627692559483957255 | To learn more about the great things @MoriartyLab and @Wikisteff are doing when it comes to keeping Canadians informed on Covid-19, have a listen: https://t.co/SYAsLzELFI & https://t.co/b85cmRkW9l (2 parts) #WeNotMe #DataDriven https://t.co/4YUWfxkaJt | 5 |
| 1627817420282003456 | @j59841320 @MoriartyLab This is more about ***censoring speech*** about COVID-19 in the midst of its highest case count. I won’t be going but am not sure how I should respond to their “shut up about #COVID19 because it’s not convenient for me-me-me.” | 3 |
| 1627997803816402944 | Hi everyone - does anyone know a way of measuring your risk of catching COVID? For e.g., if you’re at a hockey arena, and the ventilation is x, and the number of people attending is y, and the prevalence of the virus is z….? @MoriartyLab @wikisteff? | 3 |
| 1627827259523596288 | @ElaineCarol3 @j59841320 @MoriartyLab The safest approach to anyone who is not concerned about COVID is from a distance. With evidence mounting on the damage done by repeat infections, at some point in the future you are likely to be sadly right about how wrong they are. | 3 |
| 1624892641296121856 | @MoriartyLab Thanks for your phenomenal work, Tara: it helps in our COVID-19 safety planning for staff. Too bad all our government funders keep telling us that “we are in *recovery*, get out there maskless, work on reserves & in high-risk communities and entertain us.” | 2 |
| 1627311177066770432 | @MoriartyLab @jvipondmd @CDCgov And the CDC says people should "expect" to get Covid 3 times per year??? That seems patently unsustainable across society to me. But what do I know anyways? 🤦♂️ | 2 |

| 1627810997024198658 | @ElaineCarol3 Maybe tell them you understand, but how can you go out to dinner.? You have to take your mask off and one in 43 people in Canada is infected with covid @MoriartyLab . But you could meet them outside (mask if you are vulnerable), not talk about covid. Perhaps climate crisis?🙂 | 56 |

| 1627818303426285568 | @ElaineCarol3 @j59841320 @MoriartyLab Ignore them. If they don't care about the topic, they sure wouldn't care if you became Covid+ after the dinner out. My reasoning for refusing to attend 2 memorials in 2022, seems very justified. | 32 |

| 1624892223958441985 | @MoriartyLab Many of these students are first year students, away from home, trying to navigate university life after a few years of disrupted high school and they are getting sick. Very sick. They don't understand why it takes so long to recover. They've been told it's mild, no big deal. | 18 |
