@nbcsnl This was like watching you trip a child with cerebral palsy over and over again and laughing at them. I love your show @nbcsnl but not this skit. You've helped raise the profile on mental health, racism, sexism...but not ableism? Seems like a missed opportunity to lead the way.

Dear @shandro,

My wife is a developmental pediatrician. Her department has lost 4 physicians this year. The department has had no applications after months of posting. Their department lead is calling graduates in hopes of recruiting. Even with bonuses no one wants to come here.

There are several things you can do to prepare in case someone in your household falls sick 🤒 from #COVID19.

Know your risk. Lower your risk.

[World Health Organization (WHO) @WHO]

We can only be free from #COVID19 when everyone is protected from it. That's why @thewhof launched the Go Give One campaign, which enables everyone, everywhere to donate to buy a vaccine, helping close the funding gap faced by COVAX.

Everyone in Alberta needs to realize that we can't actually staff 450 ICU beds in any meaningful way.
