@Medpoiesis Rob was an incredible leader and inspirational teacher. I had the good fortune to get to know him with our weekly MTP training through the DOM in early 2000s. His razor sharp wit, desert dry sense of humour and impeccable timing kept us all on our toes.

@drbobbell Walter/Bob, Great work at getting the key piece of underlying info ("Crowding") to this devastating tragedy. Next steps: Hybrid models - thoughtful accountability with appropriate policy and effective business models ($'ly sound) AND FULL TIME, educated & compassionate care.

Multivariate analysis of (FP vs. NFP) LTC & variable of 3-4 bed rooms shows that multi-resident rooms (p=0.002), not ownership (p=0.4) was associated with C-19 mortality.

3 & 4 bed rooms must be eliminated. That means urgently rebuilding 31,000 beds.

Globally, in 2019, 2.41 billion individuals had conditions that would benefit from rehabilitation.

👉That is 1 in 3 people on the earth 🌎🌍🌏

The number ONE cause is #lowbackpain

Thank you so much @CanadianPain for this very prestigious award. I feel very blessed🙏
