Keep people sick. Those are dangerous front line jobs.

I am hoping that the front line jobs are filled by people who know how to do them well and how to protect themselves because of their education and training

And corporate posted that jobs filled after March 16 don't qualify for pay protection rate. And one will be put into a job when demand/need arises.

Actually, McMaster University's fourth-year nursing students are asking for early release into careers without having to write the college nursing exams but department is not rushing the process.

Usually healthcare students have to wait a month after finishing last semester to write exams then wait a couple or few months for registration until pass results are attained.

I know in Italy that medical students in the same situation (last year of studies) have been released into the medical field. I'm sure they will have to make up that exam in the future.

In related healthcare news, a Halton doctor announced closure of office during pandemic and June retirement via newspaper classified ad. I'm sure there are patients gnashing teeth right now.

Ohh man, this pandemic and this stupid virus has actually destroyed the lives of a lot of people and even a lot of people have lost their jobs due to the impossibility to do the job from home. Even i lost my job, despite the fact that i could actually easily do it from home, as i was working for a digital marketing company. All the respect to the people that risk their lives to keep ours in safety!

Yes.

CERB and EI can help a bit. But if you're a high income earner and accustomed to that lifestyle it won't help much.

But something is better than nothing.
