@DavidStaplesYEG Dr Tipples is the unsung hero of the pandemic. We would lost without his leadership and foresight.

@DarrenBurchill @DavidStaplesYEG Lucky for you I am a PhD in infectious diseases and they are testing it. But trying it doesn’t mean it works. So maybe don’t suggest trying unproven “cures” on Twitter

[kim simmonds @KimSimmonds]

@DarrenBurchill @DavidStaplesYEG The same way that antibiotics don’t kill viruses, anti malarial drugs have no evidence they kill virus. Malaria is a single cell parasite- not a virus. I am not sure how to be more clear.

@Mikeggibbs In AB the Alberta Dental Association and College has a defined list of procedures. I suspect ON is the same?

[kim simmonds @KimSimmonds]

@CTVNews This recommendation is not coming from the medical experts. It leads to confusion among the public.

[kim simmonds @KimSimmonds]

@DarrenBurchill @DavidStaplesYEG Malaria isn’t a virus. That’s an infection where we us chloroquine as a prophylactic.

@AlbertaGrl @DavidStaplesYEG @sheilawalker73 So anecdote is not evidence. The plural of story is not data. I actually know about date. I’m an epidemiologist.

[kim simmonds @KimSimmonds]

@robfarmeryeg @DavidStaplesYEG Rob -it might work. But there’s no evidence it does. I don’t know a single health professional who’s taking chloroquine. I think it’s a rumour MDs are taking it.

[kim simmonds @KimSimmonds]

@DavidStaplesYEG Health system indicators or transmission of COVID? Your indicators seem to be focused on the disease not health system.

@hebunbam It’s 6 of the 119

Flashback to 2017:

CDC gets list of forbidden words

"vulnerable," "entitlement," "diversity," "transgender," "fetus," "evidence-based" and "science-based."

@ipracademic Nice work Jared!

[kim simmonds @KimSimmonds]

@Larry_Svenson Are you saying they don’t want me and my awesomeness? I used to feel special....

[kim simmonds @KimSimmonds]

@ipracademic That’s me! We only get a few kids so we need to reward the parents.

Hidden deep in the UCP budget that never was mentioned by Kenney in his press release or interviews.

Public school funding is frozen... EXCEPT FOR THAT $400 million for private, charter and religious schools... WTF!!

If you expect empathy and action when your industry/sector experiences very real challenges, then cheer when your fellow Canadians lose jobs in a different industry/sector, you need to rethink a whole bunch of things.

[JustJen🙂 @PePPerish71]

Don't rely on the polls.

Don't rely on social media.

Don't rely on your friends.

The only way to win an election is to vote!

Get out there and do your civic duty Canadians!
