Recently I posted about the unavailability of #vaccination pop-up clinics around the #GeorgianBay area & the Twitterverse responded with a fair amount of disbelief, attempting to correct me based on inaccurate propaganda

I was validated when @SMDhealthunit subsequently announced it's CANCELLING #VACCINATION CLINICS & APPOINTMENTS that were already booked for mid August, as it winds down abruptly & prematurely with a 💥55% completion rate💥

#Hi everyone, I am a #dentist. I have been following the #pandemic and #economy very closely. I have been posting stories on #COVID-19 on my Instagram and YouTube. I will now add my #thoughts and #research here.
The #rateofspread is very concerning. If #dental personel were worried in March/April, #July could be much worse.
We should not be too concerned about #aerosols; we need to be concerned about #communityspread. If July results in a #outbreak, #dentaloffices will be more at risk than ever, just from the odds of more infections in the population.

Love him or hate him, following @narendramodi's life can be instructive. He personifies the adage "if you do you're damned, if you don't you're damned". Before, March 22nd eminent opposition leaders said they would be "disappointed" if he doesn't order a countrywide #lockdown 2/n
2/n once he declared #lockdown it was said he did it in a hurry #Covid19 rates in India didn't warrant a national clampdown. Then came the new line "we must learn to live with Covid" can't keep the economy fast. Now, one is beginning to hear - #lockdown being lifted in haste. 3/n
3/3 We're on the verge of (or already entered) #CommunitySpread) and government risking lives of citizens succumbing under pressure from business lobby. First, why no planning for migrants to return; Now, why were they allowed to go? Who will bring them back. The list is endless.

His name was Dennis Wilson. He was a retired school superintendent. He went to Urgent Care 3 times and was denied a test because he didn’t fit the “criteria.” The last time he went in an Ambulance. He died 5 days later because in Kansas sick people can’t get tested.

We hear these stories daily now.

Americans are dying because by the time they are tested , it’s too late to save them. If you or your family gets sick, you will likely not get a test. You won’t fit the #CDC guidelines. Isn’t it time to change the rules?
We know we are beyond guidelines. We have #CommunitySpread everywhere. Yet, we have few numbers to show because we don’t give the tests to know. What can we do? What can WE DO NOW to save lives? The talking points of POTUS today was save the economy.
Can we just save people 1st?

Its been drilled into us the importance of #PPE & proper disinfecting to limit disease transmission. Off the job, its proper #HandHygiene, #SocialDistancing & self-monitoring of symptoms. #FlattenTheCurve or the hospitals will be overloaded.
Here is why #COVID19 worries me!

Named for the crown-like spikes on their surface. Coronaviruses are zoonotic, meaning they are transmitted between animals and people. Like MERS and SARS, #COVID19 is an infection of the respiratory system.

First identified in Wuhan, China in Dec 2019. #COVID19 has reached 169 countries, with ~235,000 cases and ~10,000 deaths. And it is spreading quickly. It took over 3 months to reach the first 100,000 cases, and only 12 days to reach the next 100,000.

THREAD.

I just visited @Tesco Ashford Park Farm.

Checkout operated by lovely middle-aged woman who has worked in this store for years.

Today, as I queued, I observed her coughing repeatedly.

/1
While the customer in front of me paid, she peeled off her gloves and took a few tablets.

"Are you ok?", I asked.

"No," she said. "Feeling rotten. I have a temperature and chest infection."

/2
"Should you be here?" I asked.

"I asked to go home, but was told I couldn't as it's Saturday. And @Tesco won't pay me if I miss hours. They don't care about us."

While we talked, she kept coughing into her gloved hands and used same hands to handle my shopping.
