Canada loses measles elimination status after three decades, health agency says Canada has lost its measles elimination status after nearly three decades due to its failure to curb a year-long outbreak, the country's public health agency said on Monday.

Canada has just lost measles elimination status. The U.S. will undoubtedly follow shortly.

Elimination means that there is no continuous spreading of measles within the country for a year or longer.

Canada and the U.S. have blown it, and it’s largely the fault of the anti-vaccination movement.

I have always worked much more effectively at home. Offices just aren't that comfortable to me, and I find the buzz of campus really distracting. Besides, at home, I can get from bed to coffee to work in less than five minutes!

It was very pretty this morning!

A wee thread 🧵: Everyone I spoke to at Dalhousie today was upset by the president’s “short Friday note”: faculty, staff, students, unionized or no.

The main reason? 1/6

Unbelievable, and admittedly written under pressure. Ugh.

Like all of Dalhousie, I’m excited to be back in class, if anxious about being ready.

I’m also angry & tired.

I’m angry with administrators who should’ve apologized & resigned.

But I’m tired b/c the real problem isn’t the dipshits in charge.

It’s a structure that allows dipshits to be in charge

Wait for the vote! There is a full membership meeting this aft, but status quo till then.

Senate Leaders & Deans need to speak out to protect Dal’s mission. Sr Admin & Board have abandoned their responsibilities:

Their lockout started this;

Their refusal to bargain in good faith prolonged this;

Their incompetence threatens Dalhousie.

Demand they sign a deal and resign. #KeepDalStrong

Mind if I share on Fb and tag you? Too good not to share!

Hard to be worse than Deep, but I think you're right.

OMG dyin' over here.

And the third to last week of my career. I am so angry and frustrated with this over the top morally bankrupt bullshit. And what about our students? It's all so unnecessary and so unfair. I suspect the NS govt directed the admin to make an example of us -- AT THE EXPENSE OF OUR STUDENTS.

Gorgeous!

😞

Very convenient! <3

Good luck to you and sweet Fred! Are you going to the new one where the coffee was? :)

Lol. Not a chance!

Goes both ways. I once overheard a professor telling students that all present participles are gerunds. Eep.

Emily does amazing work! www.emilycourt.com

I watched it yesterday, too -- and around the same time! Quelle coincidence!

Infuriating!

Do.it.

How I love this! She is soooo sweet! ❤️

Have a great trip!

It's so much easier. Ditto for taking off -- top down ftw!

I often find it much easier to step into tight yoga tops and other workout gear rather than trying to pull them over my head!

I couldn't agree more. Midterms midterms blah blah blah. It will be much much too late by then.
