BREAKING April 2: Now healthcare workers are testing positive Why? Because many caught it from their children attending schools with no mask mandates. This is one of the ways everyone's health is affected by #UnsafeSchools

Thanks Ford.

@imgrund We've been testing everyone at the LTC I work at upon entry, every single day since ~October. The amount of people we've stopped from coming in based on faint lines like that (that are later PCR confirmed) blows my mind. Grateful for my eagle eyed testing team!

the way she stayed at the top of the charts for 2 years straight

I just provided care to an elder in LTC who is severely immunocompromised.

If the health workers around her can be unvaccinated & unmasked, her risk of dying from COVID will increase significantly.

So...how will having her do her own "individual risk assessment” protect her?

So let me get this straight: The Ontario government literally underspent by $5.5 billion this year (including $1.3 billion unspent on healthcare & $1.1 billion unspent on social supports like ODSP) during a COVID-19 crisis, overdose death crisis & a housing crisis?

Enraging.

Retweet if you agree that Ontario needs to end the wage suppression of nurses during this deadly pandemic where many people are suffering & dying due to a shortage of nurses. #RepealBill124

[Mayor Cam Guthrie @CamGuthrie]

It’s time:
1. Admit we live with the virus
2. Permanently expand ICU’s
3. Hire new healthcare staff
4. Provide free rapid-tests
5. Min 1yr of Business supports
6. Get $10 daycare in place now
7. Further vaccine availability
8. Support non-profits
9. Be kind
10. See #9

Who else is exhausted by the Ontario government's inept and delayed response to COVID-19? ✋🏽

Way to go @SchlegelVillage! #WRawesome #LTC #kitchener #waterloo

UK: Plans to vaccinate 1 million daily & give free rapid tests to all.

Ontario: ~4 million vaccines in freezers & 24 million rapid tests on shelves.

Ontario must mass mobilize HCWs/volunteers to vaccinate & distribute rapid tests ASAP.

Empty the freezers. Clear the shelves!

[Dr. Amit Arya @AmitAryaMD]

Welcome to Ontario, where the rich can afford to protect themselves for the holidays by buying rapid tests for $40 each, but the poor are left to hope for the best while COVID cases rise & the government lets 23 million rapid tests sit in warehouses collecting dust. #FreeTheRATs

[Dr. Amit Arya @AmitAryaMD]

QUESTION: If the 3rd dose of the COVID vaccine is critical to protection from Omicron, why is the Ontario government waiting until January 4th to expand 3rd dose eligibility to everyone 18 and up?

[COVID Test Finders @C19TestFinders]

A must read: the Minister of Health sharing that PPE, vaccinations, rapid tests have all been given to the provinces for free with the hopes they would be distributed to their residents for 🆓

Thank you @MarieTattersall

[Dr. Amit Arya @AmitAryaMD]

So let me get this straight: Cases & ICU admissions are rising...but the Ontario government is refusing to distribute free rapid tests to everyone in spite of having 23 million rapid tests sitting in warehouses?
