It’s getting SPICY in here!
Re- IPAC/Testing Fails #DrWilliams #LTCcommission ImageImage
John Callaghan for the win. ⤵️⤵️ ImageImage
FYI: This leads to a spicier exchange on WHY they did not decant residents to alternative settings given the obvious difficulty in some homes with ward rooms. Refers to knowledge from Hong Kong/Dr. Lum.
This is REALLY bad everyone.
✔️Sending TEST results by MAIL.
✔️Cohorting policies that proved deadly that he didn’t bother to amend.
✔️Staffing Shortages that meant decanting facilities weren’t used & instead of hiring people & using these alternate settings, residents died. ImageImageImageImage
The double talk is next level with Williams. Ps. I love Callaghan. Image
So CMHO WILLIAMS knew staff were so underpaid in LTC that they were taking extra jobs on the side at restaurants “making pizzas” yet they didn’t want to outright BAN this or PERMANENTLY RAISE WAGES WITH THE BlLLIONS IN FED. FUNDS they had to reduce this clear risk. Image
This is literally the opposite of the precautionary principle given he admitted earlier these homes had no proper IPAC processes in place #firewilliams Image

The LTC Commissioners just released @celliottability's testimony. So far, I've noted some interesting commentary around regulating PSWs & involvement of OPSWA (before her lawyers jump in and try to halt further questioning🤔).

P.S This is EXACTLY why an Inquiry would have been better. They are choosing what to discuss and what not discuss, evidently.

Callaghan for the win again.
(And watch @celliottability try to argue this wasn’t the reality in the face of cold hard facts 🤦‍♀️) Image

DEAR LORD I AM SO CLOSE TO PROFANITY RIGHT NOW⤵️
"A whistleblower at a Courtice retirement home says management removed the door handles on rooms of COVID-19 positive residents, “trapping” them in their suites for days in a bid to halt the spread of the deadly virus."
"The employee, who wished to remain anonymous, tells CityNews that a manager at the White Cliffe Terrace Retirement Residence ordered maintenance staff to remove door handles on some fourth-floor assisted living suites last week."

Spending my Sunday morning w/ the @TorontoStar #LTCJustice
Some excerpts:
From Dr. Jean Skillman:
“The homes often scrambled to schedule enough staff, what she saw as the result of business decisions by the homes’ owners and boards that undercut the quality of care residents received.....cont ⤵️
“Homes relied too heavily on part-time staff to avoid paying benefits, paid low wages for the work and had to spend too much time on paper work to meet ministry inspection requirements, Skillman said”
