Calling the spouse of a young COVID-19 patient to update them on their spouse’s status and hearing the sound of baby in the background is a reminder that what we are doing is not enough/not working. Young people should never be in the ICU to start with.
Young people filling up ICUs across our country, this disturbing trend is Unacceptable. We must do more to provide financial support so people can stay home if it’s the safer option instead of going to work in places that has known outbreaks because people are financial desperate
We are also in need of a pivot in our vaccine strategy to ensure that essential workers are not asked to work everyday without being protected with a vaccine. Our age based vaccine strategy is not a bad one but it should be adjusted and tweaked.
New moms and dads, newly graduating from university students shouldn’t be fighting for their lives in the ICU. I hope to never ever fill up another death certificate with a birthday that is younger than mine. We can do better Canada and we should.
