Parents and school officials are bracing for what a sixth wave of COVID-19 may bring to classrooms.

Bentley, a parent rep on the governing board of his children's school and a member of the Quebec English Parents' Committee Association, isn't as worried about his children falling ill from COVID-19, since Hunter, 10, and Annabelle, 7, are both vaccinated.

Though Quebec didn't reinstate a mask requirement for schools this week, Bentley believes masks would help — and he's not alone.That came a day after a group of 19 New Brunswick pediatricians Saint John neonatologist Dr. Alana Newman co-authored a letter with fellow New Brunswick pediatricians calling for a return to mask mandates in schools and for child-care workers amid a rise in COVID-19 cases in recent weeks.

Coupled with younger kids being much less likely to maintain physical distancing, "I think slowing the rate of spread in that environment alone can have an impact on spread in the community," she said.

It’s going to be so unfortunate when kids test positive and have to stay home for 5-10 days even though they aren’t feeling any worse than usual. Parents must brace themselves for this eventuality.

It is shameful how media keeps working for the government agenda. Enough already. Why such a big deal for a flu. Get over it people. Live and let us live

Keeping on with the fear…CBC the Canadian Cancer.

Bracing? Oh stop

Advise treatment cause it’s curable 99.9 % God save us!

It’s a cold now called COVID treatable and not deadly! God save the people. Common sense! Take cold and flu drug in stores for your symptoms!

Get over it….

Oh no!!!!! Not a few kids with stuffy noses!!!! Let’s pretend that the world is coming to an end. NOBODY will follow another lockdown. NOBODY.

Yay let’s scare kids some more!

during sixth wave of Covid-19 Venus will collide with mercury and Pluto will be a planet again. so brace for the impact. it’s not a drill.

Cbc and their fear porn. What horrific thing is JustinTrudeau doing that you are trying to distract us from.

Put the masks back on, access to tests and contact tracing.

Are we? Lol no we aren’t at all!!!

Daughter has 3 full classes at her school out. 6 really sick. This is beyond unconscionable. Our provincial leadership chased votes and to hell with people’s health. Unfuckingbelivable.

Absolutely despicable forcing children to wear face diapers. This is child abuse and those responsible must be held accountable

I thought opening schools in January was going to bring the Covid apocalypse, but it didn’t. Now hearing the same rhetoric and fears about schools again. Time to move on.

Leave kids ALONE!!! 6th wave only exists in Canada! Do YOUR job!

Let's just keep pushing this endemic delusion and worry more about inflation. Remove masks in schools. It's not like BA2variant is contagious with RO of 12 right?

Maybe if kids could vote Doug Ford would give a shit about them

I love how politicians and phos have forced this “normal” on society. It’s insane. I’m tired of bracing for the obvious outcomes of illness and suffering because of failed policies. Give us goddam clean air, TTI, and masks and let us live our lives.

Just stop it. It’s a flu. Your fear mongering propaganda is embarrassing. And pathetic.

Hey CBC, how about we move on…

Not at all. But you can GFY

Nothing...kids are not at risk

Did I miss a SARS 2 wave,? can the inform us as to the time periods of all the waves.. Break it down with variant , start date to end date.. This would be extremely valuable information against the fight against SARS 2 CPHO_Canada

Should read 'is already bringing'

We are in a sixth wave? 🤨

How many of those little darlings and parents have been out of Canada on their break? How many of them are adhering to the Government of Canada guideline? This needs a deep dive by Canadian media.

No one fucking cares anymore stop with the Covid bullshit it’s over

What are we going to do about the 3.8M anti-vaxxers in ontario refusing a third dose? cdnpoli onpoli Ontario

Sad to see so many Canadians so dumbed down and shackled by propaganda

Well at least the maple syrup business is back on track after a couple of lean years and that's what counts.

What do you mean we are in the 6 th wave right now.
