Honourable Premier @PremierScottMoe ,
Honourable Minister of Health @MerrimanPaul,
Honourable Chief public health officer
I am trying to be positive reading some of the leaked changes that will be announced shortly but I am extremely disappointed in 4 flaws in our plan (1/6)
Those flaws can damage our efforts to get ahead. I love that the changes to the bubbles are effective immediately and I love all the categories that are added to the more immediate vaccination efforts.
But I still want those four flaws hone
The four flaws are: (2/6) #COVID19SK
1- Places of worship like mosques and churches shouldn’t have a maximum capacity of 30. That is simply unacceptable and extremely risky. An appropriate alternative is five or ten and certainly not 30. (3/6) #COVID19
2-We need a massive effort to vaccinate teachers and those supporting staff of teachers.We can’t keep schools open otherwise.Vaccinate the teachers now.Vaccinate them quickly and aggressively because this will help our kids and keep parents working without isolating(4/6)
3- Vaccination efforts need to be expanded to close at midnight or even 24/7 all 7 days a week.We need to steamroll our way out of this with vaccines.Let’s get creative and use all health care workers (pharmacists/doctors/nurses)and fighter fighters to administer vaccines.(5/6)
4- Bars needs to be closed right away. Businesses and schools will pay the price of bars continuing to be open. Help those that are affected financially so that they can close their bars immediately. (6/6)

In 1875, an eleven-room house was rented for $320 a year by a Toronto women's bible study group led by Elizabeth McMaster Opened on March 1 they set up six iron cots and "declared open a hospital 'for the admission and treatment of all sick children.'"
For over 145 years The Hospital for Sick Children treated kids ONLY. Now the hospital is taking adults into their ICU and for the first time in 145 years. In Saskatchewan, Regina has a COVID variant of concern that spread so dangerously that the situation is fully out of contro
If you think this is a Toronto or a Regina a problem then you are wrong. This third wave is underway in a massive way and if we don’t get this third wave under control then the major asymptomatic spread happening will serve as the nucleus for a horrible fourth wave in few months
3 years ago Saskatchewan was struck with the worst tragedy. A bus full of lives and dreams crashed. Lives were changed forever. I was the ICU doctor on call in what I would describe as the longest night of my career. I was a witness to the greatness of humans despite tragedy(1/8)
In an ICU room,I witnessed the greatness of Logan Boulet who registered to donate his organs shortly before the bus crash.I witnessed first hand the generosity of Bernadine and Tony Boulet and the values they raised their kids to have. I saw the tears of others and felt mine(2/8)
Despite the tragedy that took his young life that night, Logan decides to save the lives of others and to inspire millions of Canadians. Logan will always be a role model to me and an example of what greatness, selflessness, and generosity looks like(3/8)
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.
