Don't test, don't know, don't treat, don't care. The story of COVID-19 in Ontario and Canada. "Far too little effort has gone into informing the public about the long-term health hazards posed by repeated COVID-19 infections". By @DrGorfinkel https://t.co/yWMtaWxx3X

As much as I have enjoyed connecting with so many interesting and supportive people here, I am planning an exit , or at least a dramatic reduction. Anyone who wants to find me where the grass is greener and skies are bluer, please do.

I got it. 75% of ppl felt like US was not “on the right track” and for 2 yrs Biden���s approval was ~40%. With “that headwind … it would be a miracle” for the incumbent to win (Chris Wallace CNN). And most ppl don’t understand economics but do feel rising cost of food, gas, rent.

Can someone please explain what just happened in the US, and what I can do to prevent a similar thing from happening in Canada? I genuinely do not understand.

@KashPrime @BarterDee Peds resp admissions were largely BELOW prepandemic historical rates ‘til mid Mar 2022 when mask mandates ended (⬇️ in pic). Since then, peds rates have largely been above prepandemic rates. The 2y rolling avg (since Aug 20/24) offers false assurances. The kids are not alright.

Yes, could we please get some detailed guidance for primary care from an infectious disease specialist who does not minimize the role of Covid and does not blame immunity debt? And can we get some swabs to test? Previous answer from public health was a loud no.

Pediatric admissions in Ontario are much higher than historic average now (black line below). Colleagues are seeing high levels of Mycoplasma infections, which is in line with recent outbreaks reported in the US and Europe. Thinking out loud: - Mycoplasma doesn't respond well

Thank you for publishing my essay on the cognitive dissonance and the discomfort when you’re still masking and most of your colleagues are “vaxing and relaxing”.

Dr. Bonnie Henry just now: "If you've had covid recently, you've had a boost to your immunity. So that's a good thing." No, Dr. Henry, getting covid is NEVER a good thing. It won't help or improve your immune system. Your immune system isn't a muscle, and covid isn't the flu.

I think a short article to @CMAJ or Canadian Family Physician written by a few physicians who use ventilation, filtration, and respirators/masks in their offices would be so great!! Please share if you agree 💕
