Quote tweeting and pinning so I can join in signing. Although I'm a retired PT, I still work full-time in healthcare, have a disability and am also now on immunosuppressive drugs, so I have more than a little "skin in this game", so to speak.

I'm taking a needed break but I am working on an open letter for health care professionals to sign, requesting the Ontario Human Rights Chief Commissioner, conduct an immediate inquiry per Section 31, OHRC RSO 1990 CH19. The premise is the following:

@Wise your card is not very useful in the Netherlands. So far it has been declined wherever I have tried yo use it. They refuse Visa debit. Only want Maestro. Very frustrating.

Missed this, good read. Economists get it, don't work in 4yr election cycles. Who said "it's the economy silly"?
"The policy of dropping COVID mandates meant to improve the economy may actually be working to extend the economic costs of the virus, they said." 1/4

@SensicaCommon @mynamesnotgordy It all depends on who is providing the massage and the technique. An hour long deep tissue massage will leave you battered and bruised for weeks 🙈

@placentadoc @AshleyFoxRPN Perhaps the police need to be reminded that Bill C3 exists to protect healthcare workers from threats and harassment. Assault is assault and they should have taken this seriously.

@Potentiadeus @alandrummond2 Ironically, profits will suffer along with the economy if the health of citizens is not protected. One needs a healthy population for economic stability and growth.
If everyone is sick, who will do the work?

Someone gets it.....now we need a leader like this in Ontario.

@MaggieM00021130 @DFisman Dr Vivian has never put herself forward as a medical doctor, to the best of my knowledge. Her tireless advocacy is well grounded in the sociological arena in which she is an expert. Lilley is plain wrong.

@Newftck @ccleighton If you don't see the wide wave we're in, it's because the information is suppressed. More people are dying now of Covid than at the same time in 2020/21.
What will happen to our hospitals when schools are back, weather cools and people move indoors again?

@jm_mcgrath @JulieMDPanneton Let's just call it what it is: A political not-so-sciencey mouthpiece for the Ontario Conservatives.
If they cannot present facts and data, and all communications are to be vetted by the Min. Of Health we will be served misinformation obfuscation and lies.

@K8Stott Sorry you are so exhausted from travel, but even if the results are not good, at least you have answers. Hope you feel refreshed soon.

@CaressantL @jenndavi_ "Most" is doing a lot of heavy lifting.
Your tone is rude and dismissive. Perhaps the positive steps that should be made should come from Caressant: learning how to deal with the public with professionalism, empathy and actually hearing their concerns and making improvements?

@IngSocIsHere @JohnFraserOS @fordnation They shouldn't. However, not every ALC patient needs LTC. Many should be returned to their community w/ home supports, nursing and personal support care for a period of time, or to rehabilitation hospitals but there are too few spaces. Both services were decimated by Harris.

[Still Sandy 🌻🇺🇦 🇨🇦🇿🇦🇳🇱🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @ssinca95]

Such an important point. With limited data (and becoming moreso) how can we reasonably assess our own risk?
As an immunocompromised person, this information is vital so I can lead a normal fully integrated life.

[David Fisman @DFisman]

If the provincial pivot has been for people to start assessing their own risk, the province needs to provide tools that make that possible. Public sharing of data should continue, whether it comes from @PublicHealthON, @COVIDSciOntario or via file sharing on ministry websites

[Still Sandy 🌻🇺🇦 🇨🇦🇿🇦🇳🇱🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @ssinca95]

Think, Ontario.
We have seen it already with Covid outcomes in LTC, where outcomes were/are worse for residents in for-profit LTC than in public LTC. Yet, somehow for-profit LTC still paid massive dividends to their shareholders. 🤢

Just over a year ago, I read a paper which showed that when private equity buys nursing homes, death rates go up 10%. I was a med student at Stanford, but I halted my studies to investigate. Today, that investigation was published in @NewYorker https://t.co/cQzbWggk46

@PCPressOffice No. You created this situation. Things have been stretched starting with Harris's deep cuts in 1997, but you didn't mitigate against Covid. You let it rip, didn't mandate 10 sick days, didn't repeal Bill124, adding moral injury to HCW. Now you treat sick &elderly w/ disrespect.
