The Ottawa-Carlton District School Board, the Toronto Catholic District School Board and the Toronto District School Board will continue this remote learning in 2023-24.

The Durham, Peel and Lambton Kent District School Boards have also planned to continue virtual learning. For the coming year they are conducting surveys to ascertain the priorities of the families. This is being done to find out if families are still interested in it.

“There are 700 elementary students who want to do remote learning and 280 students are ready to study in secondary virtual school,” said Brendan Browne, director of education at the Toronto Catholic Board. He said that this demand still remains so we must make this offer. We want to reach out to every student. In February 2022, Ontario decided to provide virtual learning, but this decision has not yet been made for 2023-24.

The TDSB, however, is not waiting for this decision. Toronto Public Board spokesman Ryan Bird said he was aware that the TDSB and some other boards were moving forward with a virtual option this year as well. Meanwhile, there are several boards that are awaiting provincial guidance before drawing up their plans for the next year.

Scientists have long believed that the immune system comes back to a stable level after a viral infection. However, a recent study published in the journal Nature has shown that it depends on the gender of the person.

The researchers, including those from the US National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, systematically analysed the immune responses of people who received flu vaccines.

They then compared this analysis to the immune responses of two types of people. On the one hand were people who were never infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus, the father of Covid-19, and on the other, there were people who contracted covid-19 mildly but recovered from it.

The team found that the immune systems of men who recovered from mild covid-19 infection responded stronger to flu vaccines than women.

“It’s absolutely amazing,” said John Tsang, an immunobiologist at Yale University in the US.
