🙏🙏🙏
Shoutout to healthcare workers working their asses off this long weekend. Things are hard: COVID still spreading & adding to your workload...but you keep showing up for Manitobans.

You inspire me to work harder every day to find ways to help make work better for you.

One of the most sacred duties of a physician is “Do No Harm”. Dr Atwal’s statement “It’s OK to get infected” is irresponsible and dangerous. COVID still has the potential to cause serious illness and death. Please, wear masks indoors and get vaccinated. https://t.co/KWSsZy9AV6

I try to buy local but I sure don't buy Friday's PH advice. Live your life & please also try not to get covid. I know our govs have not made it easy to avoid infection, but keep listening to top sources like @EricTopol @AbraarKaran @DFisman @meganranney.

Parents in MB were able to take kids 5-11 for booster shots as of yesterday. Parents of kids 5-11 are mostly 18-49. Why didn't province open up fourth dose to all 18-49, and max the opportunity to give booster #2 to parents at same visit? We're not making this easy for families.

What about:

-mitigations and protections for employees who must continue to face the public and each other?
-encouraging employers to keep ppl working from home where possible?
-mitigation in the places all people must go?
-a clean air strategy?

“One of the biggest ironies...is no one can (assess their own risk), because we don’t give anyone any data. The public has no information about (risk).”

🎯Can't blame the public. But I sure do blame gov and their officials.

@manitobahydro There was an accident on St.Anne’s in front of Leo-Remillard school. The pole took down the line in one section & hydro crews were on site shorty after.

When you’re an employer with a poor reputation, trying to recruit and retain professionals, you’ve got to pull out all the stops. Bungling incompetence and mismanagement are not great employer pitches. The provincial MS program is in danger of closing and 1/

It is a commentary on the deep, deep brokenness of our system that the average person has no idea what's going on.

An ER expansion is good news. But one of the prevailing issues throughout the pandemic was staffing for ER beds. More space doesn't do a lot of good without the folks to staff them.

[Jennifer Kleinsasser @KleinsaJennifer]

The only way most ordinary folks know there's a problem:

1. They follow ICU docs/nurses or researchers like @MoriartyLab Twitter.

2. A local HCW tells them there are zero beds available at the hospital.

3. Hours/days of waiting for routine work/tests/procedures to be done.

[Tara Moriarty @MoriartyLab]

Once again there are more new daily hospitalizations in Canada than in any wave before Omicron, but we're all still acting like COVID is over.

BTW--the apparent dip in numbers in last day or two--that's because most provinces haven't reported since last week.

Let’s be thankful for the continuing PC tax cuts that are sure to resurrect our ailing healthcare system. A policy of austerity has not improved healthcare over the past five years. The workplace has significantly worsened, causing valued professionals to leave in droves 1/2

[Dr. Jillian Horton @JillianHortonMD]

Govs forced ppl back to workspaces and schools for 8 hours a day without guaranteeing basic PH protections in those places - or tending to the *air*. How many hundreds of thousands of cases of LT disease will result? Who will be held accountable?

[Nicole Ireland @nicireland_news]

I don’t know if there’s ever been a time when so many people realized the need for reliable data + good science communication as during #COVID-19. As many people are trying to navigate their risk in the 6th wave, they aren’t hearing what they need. https://t.co/vPgLDk4LoP

On the bright side, Winnipeg will have a whiteout this April.

[Dr. Jillian Horton @JillianHortonMD]

Very sage counsel from a very sage voice.

How many government offices have mandated employees returning to work in office space?

How many ppl were covid free for 2 yrs, only to get it once they were told they had to come back to work due to gov messaging?

[Dr. Amit Arya @AmitAryaMD]

Retweet if you think that your government should bring back mask mandates. 😷
