This is what many have been concerned about. If we try to open up in September, without having reached the herd immunity threshold, we’re likely going to trigger a 4th wave. New modeling by Caroline Colijn (who holds a Canada 150 Research Chair) #COVIDzero is the fastest way out.

breaking: there are more COVID patients in the ICU than ever in the pandemic this morning. we need government action now –– this isn't about young people partying, this is social policy failures in motion.

[David Juurlink @DavidJuurlink]

This would make a lot more sense if AZ didn't work (it does) & clots were common (they're rare) & variants weren't surging (they are) and people in their 40s and 50s weren't ending up on vents (they are) and we had other vaccines to use instead (we don't) https://t.co/DM0YJeLxbz

This. Is. Different 2/7. Ontario is in more danger than before. New data: VOC are now dominant and lead to 62% higher risk of hospitalization, 114% higher risk of ICU; 40% higher risk of death. #COVID19Ontario https://t.co/acV1xJooBj

The virus which causes #COVID19 can be transmitted via aerosols, and can be considered #airborne under certain circumstances.

I highly recommend this excellent resource by @jljcolorado and colleagues, which explains how to stay safe.

No longer an academic debate about #Covid19. This means MASKING AND DISTANCING are critical. "AND" not "OR"! The importance of this indoors cannot be overstated. #WinterIsComing ALL 3 W's #WearAMask 😷

👇🏾”Statements of commitment to antiracism can...have paradoxical effects...[R]eferring to racism as what an institution is ‘against’ could even be used to block the recognition of racism within institutions”. True in hospitals & academic medicine. https://t.co/XDqU9W2vTh

Let's be clear:
1)Turning away old patients from hospitals is like turning away kids from schools
2) Letting parents stay with sick kids & not letting adult kids stay with sick parents is #ageism

SO CUTE! 😷 Victoria RT and her daughters made the cutest figurines to brighten up our unit during this pandemic 😌💙 Note the Heliox bag extubation! (Sinai fam, they are accepting requests lol) @SinaiHealth #respiratorytherapist #nurses #ICU #COVID19

[Stephen Lapinsky @StephenLap]

ONTARIO - not looking good!
@criticalcareON & hospitals are working hard to prepare for the surge of respiratory failure, but you’ve got to #FlattenTheCurve.
Every contact with someone outside your home puts you at risk of needing a ventilator!

[Stephen Lapinsky @StephenLap]

To the people of @cityoftoronto:
Current modelling suggests our ICU resources could be overwhelmed by mid-April. The ICU patients admitted during this upcoming chaos are those of you being infected right now!
Help avoid this surge: keep your distance, wash your hands, stay safe!

"Wuhan Virus", "Chinese Virus", COVID-19. Doesn't matter the name - my hometown will forever be known for that and only that. I drew this comic to shine light on what people don't know: the beautiful culture, rich history, and strong people of Wuhan. 加油!
