@Pascucci015 I agree, would have gone for 2 for sure in that situation.

[Kristjan Paulson @LeukemiaDoc]

@bkives Absolutely true - but in an 11 person field in an open election, it's about as impressive as you might expect.

[Kristjan Paulson @LeukemiaDoc]

@ScottBilleck You reap what you sow. It's reassuring to see.

[Kristjan Paulson @LeukemiaDoc]

@MmeJuliaJBM @misstetrault Congratulations!!

[Kristjan Paulson @LeukemiaDoc]

@CTTC_ORG Best of luck to the new President - I know the organization is in great hands!

@mikemcintyrewpg We had tickets tonight and chose not to attend at the last minute - too much COVID going around. I'm healthy/boosted but as a doctor that looks after cancer patients I didn't feel right about the risk of passing it on to a patient.

@Todd_Friesen @bkives I've been a doc at HSC for > 10 years now - discharges are slower over the weekend, so Monday numbers are always going to be skewed higher.

[Kristjan Paulson @LeukemiaDoc]

@Lauren_J_MacK Well said Lauren - it's so hard to watch families separated and people dying for no good reason other than the whims and ego of a madman.

[Kristjan Paulson @LeukemiaDoc]

@ScottBilleck Private PCR testing is always an option for that scenario - something like the RT-LAMP kit sold by Switch Health you can do at home while symptomatic (proctored), or one of the other private testing sites in Winnipeg shortly after symptoms resolve.

[Kristjan Paulson @LeukemiaDoc]

@__m_pereira @Todd_Friesen @JolBjl Some PCR assays will give a pretty strong signal that a positive sample is from a variant - in Omicron s gene is negative for example.

[Kristjan Paulson @LeukemiaDoc]

@Todd_Friesen I got 6:10 PM on Thursday - any reports of any Wednesday bookings? Or is Thursday the first day?

[Kristjan Paulson @LeukemiaDoc]

@bcshaffer I appreciate that we need to have our own independent review. But c'mon Health Canada. This is an easy call. Anything longer than a week delay from now is unacceptable.

[Kristjan Paulson @LeukemiaDoc]

PfizerBoosted.

@WPGMurat Looking forward to hearing what Chevy and Copp have to say. Maybe this is the optimist in me - but I wonder if they have some informal agreement in place to extend him in January. Pay him slightly less this year, make it up in the following years.

[Kristjan Paulson @LeukemiaDoc]

@CancerCareMBFdn Way to go Isabella!

[Kristjan Paulson @LeukemiaDoc]

@WinnipegNews With all due respect to my colleagues - numerous other jurisdictions with lower vaccination rates than Canada have reopened without an increase in hospitalizations. The plan Roussin proposed seems sensible. We have to move forward at some point.

@mikemcintyrewpg If it were me:

Connor-Dubois-Wheeler
Copp-Stastny-Ehlers
Perrault-Lowry-Appleton
Vesalainen-Thompson-Lewis

There are probably very few NHL teams that could survive the loss of a 1C. The Jets are one of them. Clearly it's a huge loss but that forward lineup is still impressive

[Kristjan Paulson @LeukemiaDoc]

@bkives It's pretty clear that fully vaccinated individuals are very low risk for transmission - the public health rules should reflect that. People are more likely to get that second shot if their lives can go back closer to normal after. This is a good step in that direction.

[Atlanta Thrashers @NotThrashers]

The Thrashers and Leafs have advanced to the second round the same number of times since 2004
