Mask up

[Nate Silver @NateSilver538]

Very cool to see an actual randomized control trial on mask- wearing, which finds positive effects.

[Megan E O'Connell @MeganEoconnell]

Excellent idea

[Dominic Beaudry @DhkBeau]

Francis Pegahmagabow was one of Canada’s most decorated war heroes. We need a new name for Ryerson University. What about Pegahmagabow University? Pegahmagabow’s Anishinaabe ancestors lived in the university region.

Sad that it has come to this.

With high hospitalization rates for delta variant and vaccine rates too low, our healthcare system in SK might experience an unprecedented challenge. And they dismantled the field hospitals….

[Kyle Anderson @DrKyle]

Saskatchewan's 369 cases is the 5th highest daily count ever. Considering our government is doing nothing to get this pandemic in check, we will probably break the 439 record from Nov 21st soon enough.

[Megan E O'Connell @MeganEoconnell]

Helpful data for those of us impacted.

[Eric Topol @EricTopol]

What about the risk of automimunne conditions and Covid?
An excellent new review @TheLancetRheum

[Dr. Thomas Hadjistavropoulos @DrThomasHadjist]

Sask has the highest COVID-19 hospitalization rate in the country. As experts have been saying to non-expert decision-makers, our current measures are inadequate and prolong human and economic suffering @PremierScottMoe @SKGov @mearaconwayNDP @ryanmeili @MMandryk @LynnGiesbrecht

[Raymond Spiteri @rjspiteri]

“You don’t want to discover 6 months late that you have an epidemic of a strain that escapes vaccines.”
Geneticist Tulio de Oliveira (collaboration monitoring emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants in Africa).

Why we need to get the pandemic under control sooner rather than later.

Saskatoon is in for a scary month

[Kyle Anderson @DrKyle]

Saskatoon has now erased all progress we've made against covid in the last 2 months. Our incidence is over 15, and that hasn't been the case since early February. Hospitalizations are increasing, & this is just the start of weeks of VoC admissions. %pos also shooting up
