[June Pearce @JunePearce17]

@THE_Russell People pay big dollars for private health insurance so if needed they can have their surgery/procedure dealt with in a timely manner. Policies now effectively cancelled and worthless.

Are you anxious or just fully aware of the many threats that exist

Now they have taken everything away. What am I doing in this place and who am I?

I am Consultant Paediatrician and I am triple jabbed. Even if I do contract Covid, if the vaccine keeps me out of ICU, that’s better for me and for the person whose cancer surgery would likely be cancelled due to lack of an ICU bed

[Old Soldier @OMGTheMess]

The only Covid patient I know is still in hospital
She’s fine
Says it’s like a cold
But she’s not allowed out

Meanwhile elective surgery is cancelled?

Not someone I know personally, but the family of someone I went to high school with. I am literally sick to my stomach reading this post. The family has asked for this information to be shared widely. @Travisdhanraj @ColinDMello @CP24

Surgery next week has been cancelled. 😭
This is so emotionally exhausting.

[message of sis @messagemesis]

my cancer surgery was cancelled for today after a 2 month wait. the hospital is full of covid patients. My health is being put on the back burner so that people recently sick can go first. Get in line - behind me. There's no point in early detection when you wait months.

[John Smith (son of Harry Leslie Smith) @Harryslaststand]

My surgery was cancelled 48 hours before my scheduled operation. The hospital had cancelled all “elective surgeries,” because they were concerned that people newly infected by COVID 19 would overwhelm their ICU. I knew I was fucked https://t.co/hgpTkmzicX #Omicron #cdnpoli

@DonnaCurran9 @VicGovDH Same, I feel your frustration. My surgery was cancelled today, 17 hours before it was due to start. I’m infuriated.

[Ben Weston @BenWWeston]

🫁If the surgery to remove your cancer is cancelled.

🧠If you get injured and need an ICU bed that's not open.

🫀If you have a heart attack and arrive to an ED with no beds.

You may not h͟a͟v��e COVID, but #COVID d͟o͟e͟s affect you.

I can't accommodate antivaxxers b/c I know what it's like to have my cancer surgery cancelled due to covid. #DougFord https://t.co/hgpTkmzicX

[David Marriott @tuxisalum]

Your “personal choice” should not result in my surgery being cancelled. #COVID19AB

[Denis Coakley @deniscoakley11]

@celticbandit @liamherrick @ICCLtweet Don't understand what you are trying to say but numbers are clear - unvaccinated people 10-11 times more likely to end up in ICU than if they were vaccinated. That is causing urgent surgery for others to be cancelled and rest of us to be in restrictions- whose liberty matters ?

Unlike my father, who “actually invented Skype”, and my boyfriend who “actually invented PayPal”, I’m taking screenshots of all my ideas that will be huge in 10 years but never spent 5+ minutes of actual coding work on.

@lenadunham You and Alissa have to do an episode on Veronica Lake! 40s femme fatale who turned her back on Hollywood and spent her last days in Florida day drinking with 30 cats. Just read her autobiography. https://t.co/01TrMOaCqd
