Anyone else surprised to see debates still raging on which exclusive strategy will solve the worst PH crisis in 100 yrs? Dichotomizing this a big reason why we're here & why we risk prolonging unnecessary hardship. Short memory = #LongCovid 1/
Of course we are not going to "_____" our way out of this, whether it's (solely) vaccines/masking/ventilating spaces/therapeutics. I don't know of any credible science/evidence to support this oversimplified dogma. "All or none" was never the best plan. 2/
Polarizing messaging has been very damaging from a public trust POV from early days. While we may disagree on (relative) impacts of one risk mitigation tool vs another, dismissiveness of their value altogether only erodes trust. 3/
Let's be real. Whether you invoke the "with" vs "for" #Covid19 debate is besides the point. Hospital ERs weren't closing with this kind of regularity pre-pandemic. The burden of care has changed. Denying it will make things far worse. 1/
When patients either present with or acquire it in hospital, outcomes are often worse. As an internist, I see frail, elderly patients admitted w/ dehydration or a serious fall. They didn't just "happen" to have Covid too. It has actual implications. 2/
Just having to isolate a patient for infection control protocol means additional limitations for space/cohorting; greater demands on nursing care, infection control staff, never mind heightened risk & anxiety re: transmission for everyone. 3/
It's March 790, 2020. TL; DR. I'm leaving the #Covid19 ward again wondering why, how & if we will look forward to a day when we can (confidently) say "it'll be better next year". A 𧔠on what a "new normal" is & when it might happen. 1/
First a look back on the history of major pandemics. Even w/ a fraction of our present day resources in medicine & health infrastructure, the flu pandemic of 1918 had its share of similarities to this one because, well - humans are humans. 2/
1918 Flu was due to an H1N1 variant w/ Avian gene influence but the origin was not known till well after infecting 500 M people (1/3 of global population) & killing at least 50 M too. Doubt of origin fueled doubts of existence & potential threat. 3/
Good afternoon @Conservativesđ
In the last week myself & countless colleagues + 1000s of wonderful volunteers have been BOMBARDED by requests to DROP EVERYTHING & help w/ the mission for all adults to #GetBoostedNow, many of us giving up much needed days off.

Volunteers are needed for everything from car park attendants, to clearer uppers, through IT/admin experts to cliniciansâŠ.there is a job for literally anyone (other than Mark Francoisđł), who can spare a few hours!

So, could I make a polite request & ask (with absolutely no due respect) that rather than offering đđđs with one hand & the perfect storm of unmitigated uncontrolled #COVID19 spread & an #NHS in crisis with the otherâŠ

Shall we play @Conservatives #COVIDIdiocy snap @AdamBienkov ?
Anyone can playâŠ.
Guess which of the 38 #Tory MPs who voted AGAINST requiring đ·s in most public spaces during a pandemic ALSO voted for schools to have NO MITIGATIONS & are indeed PRO-#COVID!

You wonât be surprised to see this lot grinning back at you.
@SirGrahamBrady & his #UsForThemUK cheer leader pal @stevebaker (of ERG/CRG fame), @DesmondSwayne (âmore ppl are killed in car crashesâ).
Ofcourse IDS wouldnât be @MPIainDS if he didnât vote against the common good.

Donât be fooled by their smiles.
With the knowledge that #COVIDisAirborne & a new variant on the loose, only a dangerous or selfish fool would want to remove all protections 10 days before #Christmas!

On the Omicron variant, our CEO @DorisGrinspun says: "What is clear is that is transmits a lot faster. Even if a small percentage get it, I think our ICUs will be full. #onpoli #COVID19
On the Ontario government's sluggish response to #COVID19, our CEO @DorisGrinspun says: "If feels a bit like last Christmas. It was too little, too late. I'm afraid that the same will happen after these holidays. Am I concerned? Yes, I am very concerned." #onpoli
𧔠Healthcare workers & public health professionals have born the brunt of the #COVID19 pandemic for 18 months. We also have clear expertise & personal experience in reducing transmission. And in #Arizona we are shouting from the rooftops for additional mitigation in schools. 1/
1,067 physicians, healthcare workers, & public health professionals in #MaricopaCounty sent a letter to @maricopacounty Board of Supervisors last night, imploring them to adopt a resolution requiring universal masking in K-12 schools in the county. B/c schools are in crisis. 2/
What does 1,067 HCWs advocating together look like? It looks like 28 pages of signatures, plus 8 more pages of individual comments & pleas from the heart, in addition to all of the evidence-based expert recommendations and research outlining the efficacy & safety of masks. 3/
1)Sally, w/ respect, why arenât British children able to tolerate what children around the world are doing during a pandemic, WITHOUT COMPLAINT?
This virus can kill & cause long term debilitating illness.
It has caused devastation across the globe physically & economically.

2) Why wouldnât we say -
âThis is a difficult situation for us all.
We all want to come out of lockdown w/out causing more illness, death & effects on the economy.
To do this safely EVERYONE MUST HELP REDUCE TRANSMISSION.
We hope you want to be part of this.â

3) This is what Iâd say to my children if they were still at school...
âJust for a few hrs a day, to let you all be in school together, PLEASE JUST #WearAMask & accept itâs not 100% comfortable but #MasksSaveLives & YOU can be part of the solution.â

Angesichts der nun all-tĂ€glichen #Milliarden an #Staatshilfe fĂŒr Konzerne drĂ€ngt sich die Idee einer am #Gemeinwohl orientierten #BundesBenchmark auf - Auftakt der Debatte hier - und heute #Konkretisierung: (1)
Morgen beim #Autogipfel wird erneut intransparent und ohne BĂŒrgerbeteiligung ĂŒber Unsummen entschieden - diese werden fehlen: FĂŒr #Daseinsvorsorge #Bildung #Gesundheit #Klimaschutz #Europa u.v.m. (2)
Warum sind uns #AutoprĂ€mien wichtiger als funktionierende #ZuschĂŒsse fĂŒr SelbstĂ€ndige und #KMU? Wie nutzen wir die #Coronakrise als Chance, um genau jetzt unsere Industrien auf #Klimaziel von 1,5 Grad zu transformieren? (3)
Little more than a week before January ends, and Iâd really like to be at 1K followers. Hereâs a little bit about me in a thread so you can make an informed decision about whether following our campaign for the US Senate to take the seat held by @KamalaHarris is worth your time;
1) I am for #MedicareforAll/#M4A. Hereâs a pic of me in Sacramento, supporting the passage of #SB562 which would have guaranteed #healthcare coverage for all #California and provided universal healthcare. It is the moral choice, it saves us money and we support a nationwide plan.
I am for broadening the pathway to legal citizenship for all people interested in coming to #America and allowing us to prosper. I have marched with @UFWupdates @UFWF in the past and plan on doing so in the future. Rights of Mexican-Americans are my rights, porque somos familia.
