"Preparing an aging world for emerging infectuous threats" - Day 2.
A morning of impactful talks by @jencandlish, @DougOliver19, @marlabeauchamp, Arthur Sweetman, Lauren Griffith, and Jonathan Bean.
Thank you to @MIRAMcMaster for hosting "preparing an aging world for emerging infectious threats". Listening to some of my heroes, @picardonhealth, @zchagla, and @chandri_mac speak was the most incredible return to in-person events.
Check out our newest pub- Mobility screening for fall prediction in the @clsa_elcv- which shows that optimal test and cut-off value varies by age and sex Cass_DAmore @MayhewAlexandra @parminderraina @MIRAMcMaster https://t.co/xlJ91BovgR
Language and province of residence are independently associated with incident chronic cough. Geography, cultural factors, as well as equivalence of questionnaires in French and English need to be considered when studying chronic cough.
@Spotify I'm disappointed in your continued support of Joe Rogan. He was spreading lies and misinformation long before COVID-19. I won't be using your service again unless you stop giving Joe Rogan a platform to undermine public health and wellbeing.
“It will be a very difficult January,” Dr. Kieran Moore said Thursday. “I hope and indeed pray that we will be able to provide care to all Ontarians if and when they need it.”
Oh good. We've entered the "thoughts and prayers" stage of the pandemic.

Kids, parents, and educators are burnt out and exhausted. Now you're asking these burnt out people to navigate (at least) two weeks of online learning, many of them while doing essential jobs.
Counting down the days until the June election.
"Schools will be the last things to close and the first things to open".
Sure @fordnation.
I can get my hair and nails done but kids can't have a decent education. The switch to online learning coincides with closing the very essential movie theaters and sports arenas.
We should have been instituting new public health measures a month ago when the expert modeling clearly showed that cases and hospitalizations were going to skyrocket.
I would personally give up anything to ensure that kids receive the education they deserve.
@FurnessColin I really appreciated your letter to Dr. de Villla. Given that kids under five cannot yet be vaccinated, would waiting an additional two weeks to send kids to daycare have the same benefits as delaying in-person learning for primary school students?
At this stage, it's unforgivable that our government still hasn't figured out that exponential growth is exponential, lagging indicators lag, beds are useless without HCWs & that a highly transmissible variant, even if less severe, can still overwhelm our healthcare system.
@AllanaLeBlanc @AndersonLauraN I'm very excited to read it when it comes out and curious about your overall conclusions... is peer review worth it? Is there a better alternative?
There are few things I dislike in research more than spending hours formatting a paper for a specific journal that I'm 95% confident will not pass my paper on to reviewers.
