1. So, where are the threads arguing that almost nobody dies OF cancer? Instead, people die WITH cancer! You can argue it's extremely difficult to die OF cancer if you really determine to minimise it
In case you haven't figured it out yet, @fordnation wants ed workers to strike. That way, classes move online & Covid spread through schools gets a break. Then the gov't can blame ed workers, and eventually educators, for a breakdown in the system, and move in with privatization.
Just heard on @metromorning there were approx 30% more kids than usual seeking emergency care at Sick Kids on Monday. Ongoing staffing issues due to illness & people leaving the sector. What’s the plan @fordnation? #RepealBill124 to retain, recruit, and return healthcare heroes.
Spending least on health care of any province, the Ford government has a surplus! A surplus of people waiting for care, hundreds of frail octogenarians forced into for-profit LTC and an exhausted workforce in exodus. It’s time to push back, hard.
Rising cases of variants BQ.1 and XBB could make COVID drugs all but useless, study finds
COVID variants are evolving ways around vaccines and treatments, fueling deadly conditions for a winter surge ⚠️
So, let’s do nothing right ? https://t.co/F0StSVdxGd
If you’re all of a sudden having weird symptoms: extreme fatigue, numbness/pain, chest pain, acid reflux, irritable bowel, shortness of breath, dizziness, changes in senses, onset of diabetes or other autoimmune diseases, & you previously had COVID… you’ve now entered Long COVID
@kellycarmichae1 @sunlightwarden Horrific. Disgusting.
Ford gov't policies and inaction are killing people.
Everything is normal right @SylviaJonesMPP? #onpoli
How to manufacture consent:
1️⃣ Hide the data about high COVID transmission
2️⃣ Remove signs stating mask requirements in public spaces
3️⃣ Claim "the public is tired" even though polls show most people are willing to mask, if asked
4️⃣ Remove the mask mandate based on false claims
The realities of covid are horribly inconvenient.
I think this is why so many people are choosing to ignore it and pretend it isn't happening.
Sadly that won't make those realities go away.
No one is calling for lockdowns. I’m tired of the straw-man response from officials.
We’re calling for highly effective, low-burden, low-cost measures that prevent covid spread & protect our health system:
✅universal masking
✅testing & surveillance
✅open windows & clean air
INVESTIGATION: Ontario pledged to help Ottawa build a public $10/day #childcare system. Then the Ford gov't made concessions to for-profit daycares that pleased businesses & sparked a political standoff. This is how it happened. With @BKennedyStar
