The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids)

There is no validity to recent claims that children are being transferred from our intensive care units to hospitals in the US. While the volumes in our PICU are exceedingly high, we continue to mobilize resources to meet the clinical needs of these very ill patients.

@SickKidsNews @Billius27 It’ll happen eventually. There are high schools in California with half their students out sick (1,000+ kids) with mysterious flu-like symptoms. Once this COVID season reaches it’s peak there will be plenty of hospitals running out of space.

@SickKidsNews @Billius27 But “the volumes in our PICU are exceedingly high” is alarming itself

@SickKidsNews You may not be sending kids to the USA but I don’t for a second believe all is safe and as it should be.

@SickKidsNews @MamaToronto For how long… how many children aren’t receiving the care they need currently with 33 hrs waits or further delays to their operations well beyond the clinical recommendation wait.

@SickKidsNews @age_stupidity “Mobilizing resources” means taking them away from other clinical areas such as surgery

@SickKidsNews We need your advocacy to bring back masks in schools NOW. AAP made their case that masking is completely safe for kids back in August. This is getting worse and worse. Be part of the solution.

@SickKidsNews Each one of my daughter’s visits to PICU she was treated with the best care from Sick Kids highly trained and hugely compassionate physicians and nurses as well as any other members of her team. How sad this is happening. We need to bring back masks before winter comes.

@SickKidsNews @EarlGreyTea_pls Bring back masks in school. We wouldn't be stuck with Covid from the kid who was coughing and snottinb on everyone cos his parents dropped him off with no F's given all while the teachers didn't GAF. My kid wears one. All of them can.

@SickKidsNews Perhaps you are not sending the kids to the US, but are you sending them to other childrens' hospitals in Ontario, say to Mac, in Hamilton.....
