The NS health folks at #ph24sp are so kind and inspirational! Loving the discussion and learning we are able to do. So many new connections! 😊 Looking forward to meeting many more people within NB and beyond like our neighbours in NS.

So grateful for the unpaid citizen advocates of PoP NB doing the job Public Health won’t do. You all are amazing🙏🏼 ☺️ 😷

A good journalist should have brought this up at the beginning of 2020. Why didn't that happen?

Really fantastic session by Dr. Becker on wastewater testing. Brief discussion of challenges we have wondered about in NB such as rural areas with septic systems. Flu and RSV wastewater testing will be happening for #nbpoli #ph24sp
