Hey @VancityReynolds we see you in Markham 👀

[MarkhamCITY @MarkhamCity]

@NaheedD We all do. Mine is not going anywhere anytime soon

@nationalpost The pandemic is not over just because we are over it

NEW: I’m not sure people appreciate quite how bad the Covid situation is in Hong Kong, nor what might be around the corner.

First, an astonishing chart.

After keeping Covid at bay for two years, Omicron has hit HK and New Zealand, but the outcomes could not be more different.

[Michael Warner @drmwarner]

#COVID is an airborne disease.

~70% of Ontario kids 5-11 are not fully vaccinated
100% of kids < 5 are unvaccinated

My elementary aged kids will continue to mask at school to help protect unvaccinated school mates and the vulnerable family members they may be going home to.

PSA: If Canada Post can reliably deliver the junk mail flyers I get every single day, then Canada Post can reliably deliver rapid tests by mail to every Canadian too.

Some personal news: After almost two years of avoiding this whole #COVID19 thing, I finally got it. Almost certainly omicron. I'm double-vaccinated, yet I've had symptoms for nearly a week. 🧵

Addendum: The high water mark for COVID-related illness in Ontario ICUs was ~900. Major policies to curb transmission in the province were enacted at the ~550 mark when it was clear that we were going to overwhelm our ICU capacity.

[Isaac Bogoch @BogochIsaac]

2/ Ontario's ICUs were significantly stretched during Wave 3 when ~550 patients were admitted with #COVID19-related illness, so you can see why >750,000 unvaccinated 50+ is concerning.

(Remember admitting adults to paediatric ICUs? I do)

Important to continue vaccine outreach.

[Isaac Bogoch @BogochIsaac]

1/ Impressive data from Ontario demonstrating how #COVID19 vaccines reduce infection & keep people out of hospital/ICU.

But there are >750,000 Ontarians aged 50+ who remain unvaccinated. They are at greatest risk for severe illness in the 4th wave.

We’re entering a phase in the pandemic where nearly all activities will have some level of risk. People need to decide what risk they are comfortable with by considering their household's medical circumstances and the value of the activity to them.

I agree with this article https://t.co/9XkOlcK72b @rrobfarrington

[CBC News Alerts @CBCAlerts]

Canada to require proof of COVID-19 vaccination for anyone who gets on a commercial plane or a cruise ship or an inter-provincial train. Will also apply to the entire public service, Crown Corporations and other federally regulated sectors. https://t.co/SksR3CLzxf

[MarkhamCITY @MarkhamCity]

@BogochIsaac Great move! Mandate better than vaccine passport. Now let’s mandate vaccines for all teachers, childcare workers, provincial and municipal workers.

[MarkhamCITY @MarkhamCity]

@SafetyInfoCan @BogochIsaac Several LTC residents died from people bringing it into the homes. It was from two sources - visitors and workers because the residents not leaving the building so it was brought into the residence.

[Isaac Bogoch @BogochIsaac]

Smart move, Ontario.

“Ontario to mandate [#COVID19] vaccines for hospital workers, give booster shots to the vulnerable, and halt further reopening”
