I’m gonna give 10 random people that repost this and follow me $25,000 for fun (the $250,000 my X video made)

I’ll pick the winners in 72 hours

The @ongov expects people to do their own risk assessment and "live with the virus" yet:
-the CMOH is absent & provides no guidance
-minimal public data & no metrics to adjust plan
-non-discretionary activity is no safer than discretionary
-testing/early therapeutics hard to find

The number of #COVID ICU patients in Ontario has not only stopped decreasing, it's starting to rise.
Up by 7 day over day, an increase we haven't seen in many weeks.

[OSSTF PSAT D30 @PSATD30]

More details will be shared soon.

[Dr. Brian Goldman @NightShiftMD]

The first casualties of the casual "personal responsibility" approach to #COVID19 are health professionals who have to work in place of colleagues who become infected due to loose policies in public places OUTSIDE of hospitals. It's already happening.

[Michael Warner @drmwarner]

Tomorrow masks are optional in public schools.

Tonight I'm thinking of Thorncliffe Park, a community I serve, where ~14% of kids are fully vax'd.

Most kids won't get sick, but as W1-5 has shown, less privileged families living in multigen' homes, will again be more vulnerable.

March 17 - Critical Care Services Ontario is reporting 196 adult #COVID related critical illness (CRCI) patients in ICUs. 96 CRCI patients were ventilated. There were 5 new adult admissions. The 7-day rolling avg. of CRCI patients in ICU is 217. #onpoli #onhealth

Every Wave those in lower income neighbourhoods have died at a higher rate vs. those in rich areas.

We have been told to perform a "risk assessment" as a way to reduce #COVID risk.

However, baseline risk has varied with income, which isn't something people can willfully modify.

[Dr. Amit Arya @AmitAryaMD]

Why are governments so eager to remove masking...when masking is one of the most impactful, least disruptive and cheapest tools we have to keep us safe during a deadly pandemic?

I just don’t understand why. ☹️

COVID cases are once again on the rise in many parts of Europe and Asia.

We *may* be in for a spring wave (or wavelet?) as well in Canada.

Keep masks on in schools.
Waning 3rd shot immunity could soon become an issue for elderly.

[Michael Warner @drmwarner]

Data from other countries foreshadow W6

Ontario hospitals and HCWs have yet to recover from W5

Delayed & deferred non-COVID care costs lives

Masking is a reasonable protective measure to help blunt transmission so we can maintain capacity to provide timely healthcare for all

[Michael Warner @drmwarner]

Pre-pub study March 9 on school transmission of Delta for >1.2mm K-12 students/staff in 9 US states:

"Among districts with universal masking policies, secondary transmission was reduced by 72% compared with districts having optional masking policies."

If school boards aren’t the experts then clearly members of this group asking to review data 2 weeks post March Break, are.

[Michael Warner @drmwarner]

Two studies released this week demonstrate that masking significantly reduces COVID transmission in school

I haven’t seen the evidence which supports simultaneously dropping nearly all COVID mitigation strategies in elementary schools filled with un/under vaccinated students.

[Michael Warner @drmwarner]

Ideally, the healthcare system has capacity to urgently deliver delayed & deferred scheduled care before politicians set arbitrary dates for lifting #COVID restrictions which may imperil access to such care.

[Gabriel Fabreau MD, MPH, FRCPC @gabefabreau]

Our hospital is so full that much of our emergency department has been displaced to our tent (aka temporary field hospital). We have admitted patients in the tent also.

It’s v. busy. Prudent would be to allow us some breathing room before the “Best Spring Ever!”

[Michael Warner @drmwarner]

The concerted effort to re-educate those of us who complete death certificates on a daily basis in the hopes we will reclassify #COVID deaths is confusing.

The form itself acknowledges that death is due to antecedent causes, of which there is often more than one.
