@yarrowgillis We were booked for 1st appt @ 9. @ 9:30 I inquired & was told 30-45 late was the norm :(

[Robin Miller-Dewit @rangegirl001]

Love this perspective. Anyone else see this play out daily?

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

As you gain power and status, you lose some of your ability to judge character.

When you're in a position of influence, people are more motivated to impress you.

The least prominent person in the room is the most likely to see everyone's true colors.

This!!!

@RobMacIsaac Booked as soon as I could. Sunday the 25th!!

@petersversion @VaxHuntersCan I’d call if I could but Rogers down all day @Rogers

[Naheed Dosani @NaheedD]

4,447 new #COVID19 cases in Ontario today. What will it take? 749 in ICUs. What will it take? Essential workers dying. What will it take?

#PaidSickDays
Paid time off for vaccination
Send AZ vaccine supply to hotspots

What will it take?

Action today will save lives tomorrow.

[Robin Miller-Dewit @rangegirl001]

@erinpepler And with Rogers down I can’t even begin the onerous task of doing this @Rogers

[Robin Miller-Dewit @rangegirl001]

@Rogers I’ve been down all day. I’m finally eligible to get a vaccine and can’t book because I have no cellular service. You are impacting our safety! Not ok.

[Robin Miller-Dewit @rangegirl001]

Yes! Lots of holes in this framework.

[Liz Rose @LizRose34]

@rangegirl001 So horrified by this. Where are people with significant disabilities who live at home and rely on attendant care (PSWs) who have a high risk of exposure. Compounded with non-safe covid triage protocols and AWFUL DNR changes these people are perhaps the HIGHEST category of risk

[Robin Miller-Dewit @rangegirl001]

I am #thatparent and I am part of the care team. Please treat me as such.

[Healthy Debate @HealthyDebate]

The hashtag #thatparent is sometimes used by #parents who find themselves labelled "difficult" because of their #advocacy in the #healthcare system.

Why do we make them feel uncomfortable for trying to be the best parents they can be?

Here’s the vaccine plan. How can we get caregivers to children who are at high risk of dying added to stage 2 number 7?

[Isaac Bogoch @BogochIsaac]

Updated #COVID19 vaccine prioritization guidance from the National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI).

I suspect most provinces will not veer too far from this framework & we will see overlap of Stage 1 to Stage 2 as vaccines are⬆️available.

@drfoxrob @HamHealthSci @YWCA_Hamilton So well deserved!!!

@MaggieKeresteci @JustinTrudeau @PattyHajdu @nilikm @DrVivianS @NaheedD @Ctzen_Improver @AmyTanMD @ElizabethMuggah Amazing!!!

[Robin Miller-Dewit @rangegirl001]

@SolidFooting Story sharing is an extremely effective way to teach. It is impactful and allows for two way dialogue which increases learning.

[Robin Miller-Dewit @rangegirl001]

@TCOrobin Done!!

[Dr. Brian Goldman @NightShiftMD]

It's time to say that leaving it to the provinces to distribute #covidvaccines and make sure all Canadians get their doses is an inadequate approach. We need a universal and national system.

[Robin Miller-Dewit @rangegirl001]

@picardonhealth @beewatz @CBCNews @jodyvance Great news and acknowledgment of the importance of caregivers!!
