In the last two decades, three major pandemic threats have been triggered by coronaviruses. In 2003, there was Sars, which killed 774 people. This was followed nine years later by Mers, which has killed 858 people to date. In 2020, along came Covid-19, which so far has killed more than 2.5 million people. If recent history is anything to go by, it’s a given that more coronaviruses will spill over from animals into humans, potentially triggering another global crisis.
Scientists are already working on ways to stop the next pandemic before it has a chance to cause so much death and destruction. One approach is to create a universal vaccine: a jab that can protect against a whole range of different viruses, or virus variants.

Team Saskatchewan has made their way to Calgary and have entered the Curling Canada bubble as the 2021 Brier is just days away.
Team Dunstone arrived on Tuesday in the bubble and are currently quarantining. Round one of tests have also come back, and fortunately they are negative.
Prior to making their way to the bubble, Team Dunstone had to do a 14-day quarantine, and that stretch may have given the group and edge heading into the Brier. Thanks to some help from Dustin Mikush and Scott Comfort in Wadena, Team Dunstone was able to practice while waiting out their quarantine.
