A big shout out to all the kids who didn’t win an award, make honor roll, and barely made it through the school year. A big hug to the moms, dads, grandparents, caregivers, and foster parents that stuck by them as they maneuvered the school year.
For all those - Just GOING to school is a BIG accomplishment.
To the kids that didn’t get invited to the prom, didn’t get a scholarship to college, and perhaps have to go straight to work out of high school....you are still worthy of a pat on the back and a Facebook post with people talking about how amazing you are.
Some kids have to work twice as hard as other students just to get a C. Their achievements deserve recognition.
Don’t forget those kids.
Kindness, creativity, and generosity....those attributes sadly don’t get the accolades they deserve.

RSV & flu are spreading. Everyone in Ont. has a role to play in protecting babies/children & slowing the spread of infections. Pls wear a mask in crowded indoor spaces, adhere to public health guidance such as handwashing & get your flu & COVID shot. If you're sick pls stay home.

Respiratory illnesses are rapidly spreading, leading to growing pressures on EDs & hospitalization of patients in pediatric hospitals like @SickKidsNews. Children's surgeries are being postponed to free up space/staffing. Pls wear a mask in crowded indoor spaces & get vaccinated.

[Colin D'Mello | Global News @ColinDMello]

BREAKING: Emergency Departments in Ontario are being instructed to prepare for an "extreme surge" amid the "triple threat" of respiratory viruses.

Masking in all indoor public settings is now being "strongly recommended"

Notwithstanding the heroic efforts of hospitals and HCWs, Ontario's pediatric healthcare system is in an unprecedented crisis.

Access to acute/critical care is imperiled, yet crickets from @ongov.

It's shocking that our elected leaders simply aren't showing up for our kids.

COVID-19: The actual current state of the pandemic

Many people are claiming the pandemic is over but this long thread highlights the impact all around us that is rarely reported in the media. Image by @c_9. 🧵1/

From a colleague at McMaster who asks that I amplify on their behalf, @CBCQueensPark @KenyonWallace

This memo now received:

"Due to the overwhelming bed and staffing pressures on the PICU, ED and inpatient wards at MUMC, some urgent surgical activity is being diverted..."

[Lady Grey @tothesea7]

Getting sick didn’t make her healthier or stronger or help her avoid future illnesses. It resulted in an asthma diagnosis. And inhalers. And made her predisposed to developing pneumonia anytime she catches a respiratory infection. Don’t fall for the BS that kids need to get sick

[Sabina Vohra-Miller @SabiVM]

The amazing @DrSamiraJeimy and I collaborated on a post because we are both tired of seeing the term ‘immunity debt’ being thrown around.

We also get into why we are seeing a record number of pediatric hospitalizations, so stick with us.
