Dead 4 Ed: 1

[sabotabby]

I will be chronicling the deaths of every education worker and student in Toronto who dies as a result of the Ford Regime's murderous decision to reopen schools in the middle of a pandemic. This will continue until the numbers grow too great for me to keep track of, the pandemic ends, or I die.



Death toll: 1

What we know so far: The victim was a Child and Youth Worker, employed at St. Frances De Sales Catholic School (Toronto Catholic District School Board), in Jane and Finch, one of the poorest and hardest-hit corners of Toronto. CYWs work with some of the most vulnerable students and make an average of $42,023 per year. Her name has been withheld.

Excuses given in the media: The victim was 67 years old and had underlying health conditions. Although there is also a student in the school who tested positive for covid-19, they are claiming that she contracted the illness through community transmission.

Quote: "We have consulted with the Chief Medical Officer of Health as well as the Public Health Measures Table and have determined that an extended winter holiday is not necessary at this time, given Ontario’s strong safety protocols, low levels of transmission and safety within our schools." — Stephen "Goatfucker" Lecce

Don't forget, don't look away, and always remember that this was a choice.

*bears witness*
*wishes I could do much more*

I'm sure there is more I could do if I had the energy, but that's the point of the workload increases—getting us so worn down that we can't fight back.

You are already doing SO AMAZINGLY MUCH.

I want to scream.

Were it not for concern for my lovely neighbours, I would be screaming all the time.
