Breakenridge: For a government keen on avoiding lockdowns, why is Alberta's Omicron defence so apathetic?
With just over three months until Jason Kenney faces a pivotal leadership review, he now faces the prospect of going into that review as either the premier who botched a fifth wave so quickly after botching the fourth or as the premier who imposed another lockdown.Given the circumstances of Kenney's recent and current woes, either scenario would likely spell doom for his political fortunes. We seem further behind other jurisdictions in facing an Omicron surge and we shouldn't squander whatever additional time we might have.Perhaps we could borrow a page from Ontario's government, which has gone on a "wartime footing," as one official put it.Ontario is shortening the required interval for a third dose from six months to three months and has now made everyone aged 18 and over eligible to book a booster shot. Booster doses might not be enough to preclude a significant Omicron wave, but for a government so intent on avoiding restrictions, it's a strangely apathetic attitude.We were reassured by federal officials last week that there is sufficient supply to provide both booster doses as well as first and second doses to those still requiring them.

COVID-19: Your questions answered about masks, gathering safely, rapid tests and booster shots
Should we be using rapid tests in B.C.? What about N95 masks? And how can we gather safely? Infectious disease expert Dr. Brian Conway offers his advice.
Lisa Cordasco
Dec 21 2021
An N95 mask is the best but it's not for everyone because it is tighter and less comfortable than a surgical mask and if everyone wanted one, we wouldn’t have enough anyway. So it's best to always carry a mask and wear it properly.
