5 Recommendations to encourage us in the time of COVID from Dr. Abdu Sharkawy

Ok, let’s all take a deep breath now …preferably a fair distance from anyone who’s coughing π
Some basic recommendations to keep yourself safe AND sane:
1. Distancing. The idea that staying home means never breathing oxygen outside 4 walls and a ceiling is neither sensible nor tenable. Walks are both acceptable and necessary to maintain our health and well being! BUT… this means only with whomever lives in your household and NOBODY ELSE, NO EXCEPTIONS! (Cousins and neighbors count).
Keep a distance from others at all times. And no parks, playgrounds or anywhere others will inevitably join you.
2. Masks. You don’t need one in your home unless you are sick personally and want to protect others or you are providing care for an elderly or immune compromised person.
You also don’t NEED one to go out to the store for groceries or at work IF you can maintain strict distancing and hand hygiene. However, this is challenging if you can’t completely avoid separation from others eg. At the cash register. For this reason I would recommend wearing a mask for these situations. A surgical mask is not needed for this. Save these for health care workers please.
You can make your own from cotton, antimicrobial pillow cases, vacuum bags, and pretty much anything that can cover your face and withstand humidity. I personally recommend cotton or pillowcase material since this is easy to wash and reuse.
3. Food. Coronavirus doesn’t thrive in food or packaging. You won’t die from your takeout pizza or drive thru coffee, I promise you!
It does not aerosolize from these surfaces or materials. When you retrieve your food or groceries, do so with clean HANDS and avoid touching your face. Doing this is more than adequate for protection.
Want to put the takeout box and grocery bags in a dedicated garbage? Fine, but not necessary by any means. And save your wipes for places hands go all the time: table tops, counters, light switches, PHONES, tablets, remotes, game controllers, door knobs, faucets and taps. This is the viral hood!
4. Mental Health. Everyone is anxious, uneasy, worried. Some are depressed, overwhelmed, even panicked. It’s ok to admit this. It’s important. Try not to judge but instead to help and support whomever you can. Talk to each other! Listen to someone. Donate something to a homeless shelter or a community mental health organization. Giving will give you back so much more than you could imagine.
5. Breathe. As daunting as this is, it will end at some point when our containment strategies pay dividends, the virus runs out of susceptible people to infect and enough exposed and recovered people become immune. Take this time to reframe life habits and a perspective towards minimizing waste, maximizing time for those you love and need you, and learning that humility and patience are our greatest teachers and guides.
I wish you all health, safety, and sanity. These are dark times, but there is light in our eyes and hope in our hearts. Never forget.

Canadaβs health department warns COVID vaccine injury payouts to exceed $75 million budget

Fr0m LifeSiteNews
A Department of Health memo warns that Canadaβs Vaccine Injury Support Program will exceed its $75 million budget due to high demand, with $16 million already paid out.
COVID vaccine injury payments are expected to go over budget, according to a Canadian Department of Health memo.
According to informationΒ publishedΒ April 28 byΒ Blacklockβs Reporter, the Department of Health will exceed their projected payouts for COVID vaccine injuries, despite already spending $16 million on compensating those harmed by the once-mandated experimental shots.
βA total $75 million in funding has been earmarked for the first five years of the program and $9 million on an ongoing basis,β the December memo read. βHowever the overall cost of the program is dependent on the volume of claims and compensation awarded over time, and that the demand remains at very high levels.β
βThe purpose of this funding is to ensure people in Canada who experience a serious and permanent injury as a result of receiving a Health Canada authorized vaccine administered in Canada on or after December 8, 2020 have access to a fair and timely financial support mechanism,β it continued.
Canadaβs Vaccine Injury Support Program (VISP)Β was launched in December 2020β―after the Canadian government gave vaccine makers a shield from liability regarding COVID-19 jab-related injuries.
While Parliament originally budgeted $75 million, thousands of Canadians have filed claims after received the so-called βsafe and effectiveβ COVID shots. Of the 3,060 claims received to date, only 219 had been approved so far, with payouts totaling over $16 million.
Since the start of the COVID crisis, official data shows that the virus has been listed as the cause of death forΒ less than 20 kids in CanadaΒ under age 15. This is out of six million children in the age group.
The COVID jabs approved in CanadaΒ have also been associatedΒ with severe side effects such as blood clots, rashes, miscarriages, and even heart attacks in young, healthy men.
Additionally, aΒ recent studyΒ done by researchers with Canada-basedΒ Correlation Research in the Public InterestΒ showed that 17 countries have found a βdefinite causal linkβ between peaks in all-cause mortality and the fast rollouts of the COVID shots as well as boosters.
Interestingly, while the Department of Health has spent $16 million on injury payouts, the Liberal governmentΒ spentΒ $54 million COVID propaganda promoting the vaccine to young Canadians.
The Public Health Agency of Canada especially targeted young Canadians ages 18-24 because they βmay play down the seriousness of the situation.β
The campaign took place despite the fact that the Liberal government knew about COVID vaccine injuries, according to aΒ secret memo.

Freedom Convoy leadersβ sentencing judgment delayed, Crown wants them jailed for two years

Fr0m LifeSiteNews
Years after their arrests, Freedom Convoy leaders Tamara Lich and Chris Barber are still awaiting their sentencing after being found ‘guilty’ of mischief.
The sentencing for Freedom Convoy leaders Tamara Lich and Chris Barber has been further delayed, according to the protest organizers.
βIn our trial, the longest mischief trial of all time, we set hearing dates to set hearing dates,βΒ quipped Lich, drawing attention to the fact that the initial sentencing date of April 16 has passed and there is still not a rescheduled date.
Earlier this month, both Lich and Barber wereΒ found guiltyΒ of mischief for their roles as leaders of the 2022 protest and as social media influencers, despite the non-violent nature of the demonstration.
Barber noted earlier this month that the Crown is seeking a two-year jailΒ sentenceΒ against him and is also looking to seize the truck he used in the protest. As a result, his legal team asked for a stay of proceedings.
Barber, along with his legal team, have argued that all proceedings should be stopped because he βsought advice from lawyers, police and a Superior Court Judgeβ regarding the legality of the 2022 protest. If his application is granted, Barber would avoid any jail time.
Lich has argued that the Crown asking for a two-year jail sentence is βnot about the rule of lawβ but rather βabout crushing a Canadian symbol of Hope.β
Lich and Barber wereβ―arrestedΒ onβ―February 17, 2022, in Ottawa for their roles in leading the popular Freedom Convoy protest against COVID mandates. During COVID, Canadians were subjected to vaccine mandates, mask mandates, extensive lockdowns and even the closure of churches.
Despite the peaceful nature of the protest, then-Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his Liberal government invoked the Emergencies Act to clear-out protesters, an action a federal judge has since said was βnot justified.β During the clear-out, an elderly lady wasβ―trampled by a police horse and many who donated to the cause had their bank accounts frozen.
The actions taken by the Trudeau government were publicly supported by Mark Carney at the time, who on Monday won re-election and is slated to form a minority government.
