Diseases expert says pandemic planning must put a dollar value on life.
"Collignon told ABC radio Canberra on Wednesday that health economists generally valued a life at about $50,000 per year of good-quality life."🤦♂️

Dr. Bonnie Henry, last week, telling BC that there is no need to keep doing rapid tests until you get a negative result.
She (wrongly) says that a positive test doesn't mean you are still infectious to others. She claims that if your symptoms have resolved you're not infectious.
@JeromeAdamsMD I just came here to say thank you for all you do. I know many people shared many impassioned opinions about air cleaners. My first was a full-sized Corsi Rosenthal box with many iterations since. The fact we are all having this conversation about Indoor Air Quality is the key. 💪
I did NOT expect this post to take off the way it did. 🚀
Glad to see so many people are opening up to the idea of cleaner air. 💨
It has benefits far beyond covid, and doesn’t require constant and individual effort, or “mandates!”👍🏽
@pan_accindex@UCSFHospitals@UCSFMedicine This is a disgusting and baseless attack by Vinay Prasad.
@xoxo wisely required masks by policy:
"All XOXO attendees are required to wear a high-quality mask at all times while inside our venues" https://t.co/bzoJ9OQhrs
@pan_accindex@UCSFHospitals@UCSFMedicine@xoxo I say masks per their terminology, but they really specified respirators which is even more important:
"Masks should be N95, KN95, or KF94 (or equivalent government standard), cover the nose and mouth completely, and worn properly while inside our venues."
We’ve returned to Queen’s Park. I had the privilege of reconnecting w @OntariosDoctors! In #tostpauls, the top health concern: people w/o a family doctor! OMA has solutions and they are EAGER to work w the ONgovt to implement them to help support urban & rural patients. #onpoli
A large teaching hospital in Toronto has taken an important step. But masks should be required in all health care facilities. There's lots of people with cancer, babies with weak immune systems, and others who need that protection.
💉My family health team NOT offering COVID vaccines this fall/winter. So I did what they told me to do. Within 25K of where I live in downtown Toronto there are no public health clinics, not even for people high risk. Yes there are pharmacies. No thanks.
Dr. Bonnie Henry just now:
"If you've had covid recently, you've had a boost to your immunity. So that's a good thing."
No, Dr. Henry, getting covid is NEVER a good thing. It won't help or improve your immune system. Your immune system isn't a muscle, and covid isn't the flu.
Does your child attend a @tdsb@YRDSB or other Ontario school with inadequate ventilation and have they contracted COVID since the beginning of the school year as a result of likely exposure in their classroom?
Get on it, @YRDSB!!
My kid was surrounded by students with “bubbly coughs” last week.
And guess who’s got covid now?
I will NEVER forgive the soulless IPAC/PH ghouls who denied airborne spread nor the politicians playing “covid theatre” instead of ACTUALLY making schools safe!
@ONSchoolSafety Has anyone successfully provided guidance to Ontario schools about opening windows, especially during active COVID outbreaks in their classrooms? We know they don't accept air filters, but how about windows in classrooms?
When will schools in Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area start opening their windows to reduce the spread of respiratory viruses, including COVID-19, tearing through classrooms at the moment? @tdsb@YRDSB?
