Oct 25: TAKE HOME

#Canada is performing similar to peers such as Germany in testing & controlling #COVID19 spread.

OUR FAILURE: When #Canadians get COVID-19, we’re more likely to die.

WHY? Longterm, congregate care, retirement homes.

See below.
81% of #Canada's #COVID19 deaths are in congregate living settings, primarily longterm and congregate care and retirement homes.

Here is what #Ontario #COVID19 deaths look like so far in the 2nd wave. Deaths are increasing exponentially.

#Canadians pay attention. We are NOT protecting those who most need our advocacy.

OK, #Canadian scientists, #science students, science influencers, scientific societies, student & postdoc unions, and everyone else who may know someone w/ science postgraduate training

We (@COVID_19_Canada ) and the province of #Ontario really need your help...every one of you.
Ontario needs to hire and train hundreds of people to work in #COVID-19 testing labs. This needs to be done w/in 3 weeks.

We are fielding requests from multiple testing labs who need scientists w/ the following qualifications:

1. At least a Masters or scheduled to graduate soon
2. Available IMMEDIATELY (in the next 1-3 weeks) for full-time paid work for temporary short-term contracts (at least 6 months, renewable, very likely to be renewed)

3. Live w/in commute distance of an #Ontario testing lab (throughout the province) or willing to quickly relocate

To respond to #COVID-19 misinformation & provide support to communities from scientists @COVID_19_Canada is now conducting kitchen table-style virtual discussions in communities & posting open access "explainers" translated into multiple languages covid19resources.ca/explained.html
Communities who would like to hold kitchen table-style #COVID-19 discussions (in any of all major languages spoken in Canada), you can request scientists here: covid19resources.ca/requestvolunte…

We try to place volunteers already connected to communities to build longterm relationships.
Media, newspapers, journalists etc in under-served regions, you can publish our #COVID-19 Science Explained pieces free of charge if you credit us (pls let us know).

Scientists who want to contribute pieces pls go here: covid19resources.ca/explained.html

#Ontario research & lab folk please share widely

Ontario has approved deployment of non-accredited, skilled staff to assist with #COVID-19 testing in accredited labs.

@COVID_19_Canada can get staff (3000+ members in Ontario) to centres in <1 wk from time of request.

See thread
We are developing a rapid response template for #Ontario testing lab staff requests, so that labs can submit simple requests to receive list of candidates in their region.

To request #COVID-19 testing staff go here: covid19resources.ca/requestvolunte…
If you are an #Ontario resident who has lab skills to help w/ #COVID-19 testing and if you haven't already signed up with @COVID_19_Canada , please sign up here: covid19resources.ca/Volunteer.html
