Hospitalizations: rising.

ICU admissions: rising.

Hospitals: In crisis, with many staff off sick.

Sure, Omicron may be less virulent. But the impact it is having on human suffering & our health system is anything BUT "mild".

Stop. Calling. Omicron. Mild.

I heard a new term yesterday that describes a common form of racism experienced by Indigenous people in the healthcare system: acts of omission. It is when basic elements of care like history-taking, physical examinations, testing, referrals and consultations are not done.

@amazon - while I can’t speak for all folks who identify as mothers, I think it’s a pretty safe bet that most of them wouldn’t list domestic labour items like vacuums/mops or @Nestle products for their children as “gift ideas” for Mother’s Day...😒
