December is nearing the mid point. People in the know are ruminating on a fifth wave of COVID. Yet \u00a0 our editor, Sonja, and her team found the time to \u00a0produce this issue for you. World-wide, the Omicron variant threatens to be even more transmissible than the Delta. Here in Canada, changes have been somewhat eased by our vaccination levels (the third – a booster shot – gets underway this month) and a close adherence to common sense guidelines. Children under 12, and of school age, are being \u00a0 vaccinated now.<\/p>\n
