@inspq Trying to find detailed data for Quebec to split out the pediatric population for data analysis. Similar to this...
https://t.co/UyfoFeP2uQ Merci, en avance!

@Global_Montreal Is there a reason that there has been an apparent spike in the number of identified pediatric cases of COVID19 in PQ before the schools reopen? My preliminary analysis of the data sets show a >3X increase from 905 cases on May 13 to 2917 cases today.

Does anyone have guidance on when and how they safely let grandparents get their first cuddles with a baby in this phase of the pandemic?

[Tom Lacroix MD @drtomlacroix]

@CBCOntMorning I hope it will be to help people trust by being transparent and not spinning this politically. To help people be realistic in the days to come. And to be pragmatic when difficult decisions need to be made.😪

@andrewjtagg Thank you! Signed up

Any #pediatricians who have seen the surge in #COVID19 cases: What should we expect to see on our peds wards? While I know that kids are less likely to develop severe disease, are you filling up with pneumonia, bronchiolitics who need O2? How bad in NYC for kids? Staffing? Thx

@StClairChild Could you set up a virtual drop in? We could set one up together

Two @UofT_dlsph epidemiologists, @ishaberry2 @JPSoucy,
have build an amazing dashboard tracking Canadian #coronavirus cases. It's much better than my back-of-the-envelope counts Everyone should bookmark this: https://t.co/8MLis6t9Tj via @GermHunterMD #COVID19

Important COVID-19 closure notice for St. Clair Child & Youth Services. We are committed to doing our part to slow / stop the spread of the virus.

@martinurology @OTNtelemedicine @OntariosDoctors @ONThealth @drmsgandhi @celliottability How do you like #Doxy? I signed up and it seems very intuitive. Plan on seeing patients with it tomorrow.

[Tom Lacroix MD @drtomlacroix]

Today, we only saw virtual patients at my Pediatric Office, answering COVID-19 questions and several other visits by videoconferencing apps. Trying to figure out the best workflow to scale up... #OTN #ZOOM #FBMessenger #DUO #8X8

Very sad to see postpartum depression program cut @StClairChild. This undermines all of the effort we put into early identification. There won't be any programming to send these mothers to. Very sad.

This does not bode well for the Fall flu season in the Northern Hemisphere. Will need to keep an eye on our friends in the land of Oz. https://t.co/ZDuBZ5LXBk

[Tom Lacroix MD @drtomlacroix]

The tool used at https://t.co/XlCCr7OM1B is great but suffers from a significant design flaw. It is better to read the online tool from bottom to top. Why not format it this way? Most non-pediatricians read it incorrectly

@berthagarcia5 Horrible. Terrible. Unfathomable. Unimaginable...
