“Insufficient facts always invite danger.” - Captain Spock
A tweet from famed Canadian astronaut Colonel Chris Hadfield and resulting response from Ottawa Public Health. The initial tweet shows three of the main characters from the original Star Trek (Bones, Kirk, and Spock) with medical masks superimposed on their faces and another crew member, wearing the red shirt which is often jokingly said to mark a character for death, in the background without a mask. The response from Ottawa Public Health is the addition of a quote from the famously logical character of Spock: "Insufficient facts always invite danger." This is possibly a reference to those who are claiming masks are ineffectual or even dangerous based on limited or untruthful sources- a section of the population with which the Public Health unit deals frequently. -

One World Together At Home
Probably most of us saw the propaganda on our social media. The event was co-planned by Lady Gaga in conjunction with WHO and Global Citizen Global Citizens Organization. It aims to help unite and inspire medical personnel in this special period, and to increase support in combating the COVID-19 virus epidemic. There are several world-famous celebrities attend this concert, such as Tylor Swift, Jennifer Lopez, Lizzo, and Celine Dion. Despite those, there are some artists from Asia also involve in this event. The concert will include celebrities’ speech, video recording, and performance. Besides that, every country will share their current situation to the world. Most celebrities use limited resources to do their performance. This is a really amazing moment in a year that everyone is connecting to each other, regardless of where you are. The concert was held remotely, and every celebrity does the performance at home. At this moment, everyone is doing their best to overcome the virus. Most of my friends look forward to this event that shares the moments they love during the concert. I saw some celebrities do the online streaming in their bedroom, with the messy bed as background. Everyone is facing the same situation and have the same goal to make the world back to normal. Together! Stay home! -

A text from my dad telling me John Prine was in critical condition was the first thing that actually made me cry. Googled it and this was the first article that came up. #HIST5241 -
