It's basic physics... saying masks don't work (they literally filter aerosols containing the virus!), is like saying gravity is a myth.

Kids are testing positive for Influenza + RSV at the same time. Probably also Covid. Now would be a superb time to get your kid the Flu vaccine against Influenza, the Covid vaccine, and to mask away from home. There are ways to help kids wear KN95s with ease, and free suppliers.

BREAKING: Nov 24 Ford Asking #HealthcareWorkers to work harder is beyond tone death. It's abusive

Hi @RobinMartinPC - I’m a peds ER doc. It sounds like you haven’t spoken with any staff on the frontlines of this crisis. You or your team are welcome to contact me if you want to chat. It’s hurtful to see you mocking a situation that scares us all (and we don’t scare easily)

BREAKING: Nov 23: Ford will be CUTTING more COSTS!! in healthcare staffing again as the entire system is in crisis @pressprogress Criminal

@DocMCohen @theresaboyle @ONThealth @OntarioCollege @OntariosDoctors @SGFP4FamilyDocs @afhto @SylviaJonesMPP @fordnation Ministry of Health is expecting high demand this winter bc of the pandemic, but are doing NOTHING to prevent it?

Asking drs, nurses, other HC pros to cover for their inaction makes me apoplectic. It’s inhuman and puts us all at risk.

[Dr. Amit Arya @AmitAryaMD]

Good Morning & Happy Tuesday to everyone who is wearing a mask indoors wherever possible. Everyone who recently got their COVID booster & flu shot. Everyone who is trying to stay home when sick.

Thanks for caring about the healthcare crisis. You rock. ❤️

[The College of Family Physicians of Canada @CFPC_e]

Last year a patient poll found that 86% were able to get in-person appointments (though in some cases with restrictions), and that number has only grown over 2022. Family physicians are doing their part. https://t.co/211fvD3l82

It seems Twitter is removing 100s of followers from progressives. I'm one of them but not alone. Let's take back Twitter by retweeting every progressive...

If you're mad about what a billionaire is doing to destroy Twitter, wait until you hear what billionaires are doing to destroy the planet.

If you care about the crisis at pediatric hospitals caused by the tridemic, please wear a mask, get vaccinated and stay home if you’re sick.

I'm at a loss for words. Lisa is among the very best at what she does. I know surprisingly arbitrary decisions can be made in this business but Lisa, you deserve better than this. Way better.

[Andrew Boozary MD @drandrewb]

it is not “burnout” when a broken system is lighting its workers on fire.

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

Of course, we are driven by self-interest, it's necessary to survive. But we need wise self-interest that is generous and co-operative, taking others' interests into account. Co-operation comes from friendship, friendship comes from trust, and trust comes from kind-heartedness

[Jeff Kwong @DrJeffKwong]

Right now, your healthcare provider is either: 1) sick with COVID; 2) on a well-deserved vacation; or 3) covering for colleagues in grps 1 & 2, on top of his/her usual duties. I spent the w/e in grp 3. Go easy on your healthcare providers (we are all hurting) and please mask up!
