The surgeon apologizes

@TheBlondeRN Also, when a family member tells you that something is wrong, believe them.

With infections surging due to the Omicron variant, physicians are now urging people to ditch cloth face masks and instead recommend pairing cloth masks with surgical models or moving on to stronger respirator masks https://t.co/Fy02Rbyz1z

@Tim_Bousquet I think most people have one of those friends. 😟 It's so sad.

[Bonnie Salsman @BMSalsman]

@Tim_Bousquet You've done a superb job throughout the pandemic, thank you.

@Tim_Bousquet Who could have guessed that a Conservative MLA would become a Deus ex machina for Rankin?

THIS WILL LIKELY MAKE YOU UNCOMFORTABLE, BUT IT REALLY NEEDS TO BE SAID.

Last week, the remains of 215 children were found at a former residential school. They were all victims of racism.

A few days ago, 4 people were murdered in yet another act of racism.

Keep reading. (1/10)

This is a fantastic piece by El Jones: Meet the African Nova Scotian woman doctor who is fighting vaccine misinformation one post at a time https://t.co/qskusQ0GKr

@bluenos74444141 @Tim_Bousquet True and it's probably affecting productivity across the province with people checking and rechecking to see if numbers are posted. They clearly know the numbers earlier in the day why not release them?

@Tim_Bousquet Seems like there was a big spread in the case positivity rate between Saturday and Sunday. Are Public Health still having issues getting the data entered in a timely way?

[Bonnie Salsman @BMSalsman]

@Tim_Bousquet At Central Library yesterday was advised to get tested twice a week! We need more people to get out and do this.

@Marnie33571815 @RufinoPDeLaS @Tim_Bousquet And since children under 12 can't be vaccinated yet we need an even higher percentage of adults to step up.

[Bonnie Salsman @BMSalsman]

@Marnie33571815 @RufinoPDeLaS @Tim_Bousquet A high percentage of the population needs to be vaccinated in order to reach herd immunity. That's how smallpox was eradicated and that's how we can end this pandemic. Every person who decides not to get vaccinated reduces the chances that we can win this battle.

[Bonnie Salsman @BMSalsman]

@Tim_Bousquet I think we need to ask more questions about why 200 people with Covid have not been notified. I don't believe that a "special skill set" is required to call people and reinforce that they AND their households need to self-isolate.

[Bonnie Salsman @BMSalsman]

@Tim_Bousquet @drodenhiser This reckless behaviour is maddening, and I agree with fining people for violations if they are caught in the act. But fining people on the basis of admitting the truth to public health authorities will only hurt all of us in the end.

I'm a baby boomer but this is also me! (except for the hot lips). First one down, bring on the second shot #AstraZeneca

[Bonnie Salsman @BMSalsman]

@Tim_Bousquet I agree with the vast majority of your Tweets but I don't think this headline is entirely fair. It's a complicated issue...

[Tim Bousquet @Tim_Bousquet]

Missouri had 2,161 new cases of the plague yesterday. Nova Scotia had 1.

Dorian has not even made landfall yet. This is not good. @ Halifax, Nova Scotia https://t.co/CmEdHp3NIb
