Fellow Canadians, would you like to sign up to be a FluWatcher and help the government track covid and flu cases?

They send out one short survey each week that asks if you’ve had symptoms like a fever or cough. It takes me less than 30 seconds to fill out: cnphi.canada.ca/fluWatcher/reg…

' Often, when we give a blank map of the surrounding areas to Inuit who are helping us [they] have no problem recognizing and identifying features on the map, going only from their recollections of the land and what their families have described to them in words or in songs — without otherwise having used maps. They’ll even correct you, explaining something like, “there should be a lake there, but it’s not on your map.” '
