Even Queen Elizabeth supports the concept of #frailty: "Her Majesty believes you are as old as you feel (i.e.function),as such the Queen does not believe she meets the criteria [to be an "oldie"] https://t.co/194STuhF7n Even at 95, she is a good solid CFS 1!

Today a 70-something year old told me that they liked my pins. Then they came out to me. They are not out and have a good support structure. However they had never talked to their previous health professionals about who they are and this part of their life.

@Buddy_Bhardwaj @VaxHuntersCan Does it matter?

[Lorraine Trecroce @LTrecroce]

@KaarinaLosey @imgrund @Sflecce Interesting perspective - and totally possible! Exactly why I hoped @imgrund could provide more context on numbers of test for younger kids. It would shed a light on how behaviour changes when school is in vs out, and if that behaviour affects our + rates.

[Lorraine Trecroce @LTrecroce]

@imgrund @Sflecce Just saying, I imagine many more test were performed for elementary school kids while school was in...

[Lorraine Trecroce @LTrecroce]

@imgrund @Sflecce No, but parents decide when their kids get screened. If I need a - test to send my kid back to school due to a sniffle I may go get them tested, but if they’re home anyway I won’t. I would only go if I thought they were actually sick.

[Lorraine Trecroce @LTrecroce]

@cityoftoronto @epdevilla It is misleading to compare cases from spring to now when both testing capacity and screening requirements are completely different. You are comparing apples to oranges in what looks like an attempt to increase fear among your citizens. You should know better

[Lorraine Trecroce @LTrecroce]

@ASPphysician How do you define “winning” and “losing”? And how do you measure losses secondary to the strategy proposed? I think that’s probably the least defined part of this thread. A bit more clarity on this front might be helpful.
