Tonight's LTC update: the #BrokenHeartsEmptyShoes event was held on Parliament Hill, asking for improved LTC standards across Canada. By "Canadians 4 LTC Standards".
What LTC staff are asking for is clear - better staffing, PPE, and a reduction in community transmission #COVIDzero
National trends in LTC cases and deaths // @MoriartyLab
We leave you with this merciful display of compassion and empathy by @ottawahealth MOH @VeraEtches as she talks about direct and indirect deaths due to COVID-19. We need to keep the human focus, to guide policy with morality.

Tonight's LTC round-up starts with travel back in time to April 2020, with this happy article written on Kennedy Lodge in Toronto. It talks about how the home will keep residents safe, residents' favourite activities, food. Families. Check it out.

toronto.com/news-story/996…
Here is Kennedy Lodge today. 31 residents lost to COVID-19, 128 infected. You see the pattern: Chain-owned, anonymous PSW, understaffing, inadequate PPE.

No names mentioned of course, just faceless numbers.

The right policies could have avoided this.

If we truly decry the Great Barrington Declaration, we must acknowledge the unethical nature of 🇨🇦's unscientific and ageist policies. #COVIDzero is the only moral approach for a society that values the lives of its disabled, elderly + less privileged.

Today's LTC round-up: 101 cases in an LTC home in Abbottsford BC (ONE HUNDRED AND ONE), inc half the residents. 2 deaths. Theme of understaffing + burnout: 16-hour shifts on alternating days, 11-12 nonstop days, dirty face masks.

And this:
There seems to be a problem with transparency around LTC outbreaks in BC. See discussion about "govt blackout" below.
As with ON, we see in BC an insufficient reckoning of daily deaths.
One may be excused for thinking PH officials lack the courage to face the toll of their poor policies.

Now is the time to improve ventilation in Canada's schools!

We at #Masks4Canada @covidschoolsCA have compiled a primer, best practices + success stories to help YOU drive advocacy. Feedback welcome!

A #COVID19 infected individual releases infectious particles by talking, coughing, sneezing, laughing, etc., “Aerosol transmission” acknowledges airborne spread of the virus. It has different PH implications than droplet transmission.

Important: The virus is NOT naked in the air. It is encased in droplets or smaller aerosols (10-1000X bigger than virus). Aerosol size impacts efficacy of masks + air purifiers, *and* how deeply particles penetrate the respiratory tract.
