@ljt_17@WestJet Ugh that’s so frustrating! They cancelled a flight of ours in the summer for a wedding I was in and my husband and I had to drive there instead ��� 10.5 hours one way 😅
It’s absolutely wild to me that we’re pretending that the higher than average number of respiratory tract infections and the pandemic of adults with pneumonia this year is not a warning sign of immune impairment. This is literally how immunodeficiency would present.
@caitmcfarland Oh yes yes! How could I forget 🫠 Ugh, so irritating! I’ve been extra cautious having a little, given the current situation. But I’m also literally going to an appointment where they’re mandatory 😅 I hate people 😂
Me, minding my business, walking through a health building to an appointment for Brody. Some loser re: me wearing a mask. “Who are you saving with that? No one? Cool”. I’m just very confused why people are so butt hurt about a mask.. I’m not asking you to wear one??? 🫠
Dear colleagues, I appreciate the attempts to drum up public outrage over the worsening pediatric health crisis, but outrage alone won’t slow viral transmission. Try yelling for:
-Mask mandates
-Air quality regulations
-Mandatory isolation for respiratory illnesses, with sick pay
This is a really brilliant representation of Denmark’s RSV admissions data. It shows what I’ve been trying to explain for a while now. Delaying RSV exposure is *good*. The babies born in the 20/21 “gap year” experienced a net *benefit* by dodging RSV en masse as infants. 1/
I keep seeing people talk about catching RSV/influenza and being like “it’s way worse than when I had Covid!” And I want to be like.. that’s because Covid greatly impacted your immune system 😭😭
Really hoping I can win the lottery so I don’t have to send my son to dayhome in the new year, and avoid throwing him in to a mess of respiratory viruses.. especially with an overwhelmed children’s hospital 😢😭
Once again we are struggling for staffing
Many of us in healthcare have kids in school
With the illnesses ripping through right now, that means more of us need to be home with our kids or getting sick ourselves
All at a time where we are working hard to care for sick patients
Story: My daughter almost died when she was a baby of a "common" respiratory virus. We went to St. Paul's because she had a fever, severe vomiting & couldn't keep anything down for a couple days
