"Be kind, be calm, and be safe." — Dr. Bonnie Henry
This was going to be for We're Here! today, but I see the theme is "landscape" during the coronavirus. Must rethink!!
Edited: Ha! I see others didn't do landscapes, so I'll add to the group. Livin' on the edge...lol
Part of my daily routine is watching Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's daily address, followed by the COVID-19 update from Canada's chief public health officer Dr. Theresa Tam.
The PM is encouraging and calming, and Dr. Tam offers straightforward, evidence-based information that helps us feel we know what's going on.
But the highlight of my day comes at 3:00 in the afternoon, when our provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry gives her daily COVID-19 update. She tells us the numbers, explains what they mean, reminds us of our duty to stay home, explains why it's important, and she always finishes with, "Be kind, be calm, and be safe."
It's her catch phrase, but we know she really means it. She has become a bit of a rock star here -- people have posted musical tributes to her, poetry, public art, you name it.
Recently local shoe designer John Fluevog (if you've seen those fab patchwork boots in my photo stream, those are his, from the 70s) has designed a Dr. Bonnie Henry shoe -- two-tone pink, with the catch phrase written on them. She's a big fan of his shoes, so it was a perfect gesture. Only 200 pairs are being manufactured, and they went online the other day. The website crashed almost right away. The $300+ shoes sold out in short order, and profits went to the Food Bank.
