A sadly ironic aspect of #CancelDavidFisman is that he's already not included in many of the tables and spaces where his advice would have helped with our pandemic response in Canada. If you are interested in Covid and don't follow @DFisman, you should.

The “first dose fast” strategy was the right approach for the initial phase of the vaccination campaign.

But with greater supply, it’s time for older adults to get their second doses.

With @NathanStall and Dr. Allison McGeer.

COVID has caused nearly 13% more deaths than we’d normally have expected in Ontario – directly & indirectly. We’ve analyzed cremation data (this comes earlier than StatsCan mortality data). We have to end the pandemic. #COVID19Ontario https://t.co/AO3gPE1yuW

We spending the $$$ to fly a #COVID ICU patient 919km from Toronto to Thunder Bay....but @ongov won't provide #PaidSickLeave.

This is a must-watch. @DrKaliBarrett on COVID-19 in Ontario.

[Nathan Stall @NathanStall]

#Ontario decision-makers and public health officials must stop shaming and blaming the population for their pandemic behaviours.

We have failed to support vulnerable populations who cannot follow public health measures, and have often communicated inconsistently and confusedly.

[Rishi Bansal @rishibansalMD]

This morning, we sent an open letter to @fordnation @celliottability and Dr. Williams on the behalf of over 600 medical students advocating for #PaidSickLeave in Ontario.

We’re at a breaking point in this pandemic, and things won’t change unless our policies adapt.

Great talk hosted by @ChooseWiselyCA today on "Time to Talk: Encouraging Serious Illness Conversations" campaign. As a med student (with no training on this so far) 100% nervous to have these convos. Great tools provided by CWC https://t.co/TDT5xzZkK9

Ways to improve HC system post-COVID w @sacha_bhatia
1. Modern communication
2. Sweat the unnecessary small stuff (it adds up!)
3. Give DRs data
4. Focus on outliers
5. Evidence-based social policy
Similar themes from my time @OntarioHealthOH (Quality)

Can't imagine how hard this would be to go through for both husband & wife, but glad to see the right to access MAID is being upheld.
