Hey Ontario. Our healthcare system (and all the good things that flow from it, including the economy) is about to collapse. It's about powerful people not making hard choices that ultimately benefit everyone they are supposed to serve. What can YOU do? Empower YOURSELF. Read on:
1. Don’t spend time with people indoors if they're not in your household. If you have the privilege to follow this rule, follow it! Cosy up with your hunny bunny. Cuddle your kids. Facetime with all the people you love who are ?NOT in your household.
2. If you have to be indoors for essential tasks, keep 6 ft away + mask. Essential tasks = your job (though ask yourself... is it REALLY essential that you work indoors?) or life and death stuff. LCBO does curbside pickup, FYI.
3. Really miss the people you love who are not in your household? GET OUTSIDE! Transmission isn't zero, but it's low. Mask up if you get closer than 6 ft. (Masking up is always good. It's annoying, but less so than intubation, or no intubation cause we have no ventilators left.)
4. Get the vaccine offered to you when it’s your turn, help others get theirs when it’s their turn. When it’s not your turn, wait for your vaccine. Talk to your trusted healthcare professionals if you have concerns about vaccines. They're safe, they're essential.
If you've detected that I'm using lighthearted GIFs in this thread because I'm actually scared out of my mind, heartbroken about the inequity and science-denialism that has gotten us into this mess, and grieving for all we've lost... you know me well. Post-COVID drinks on me.
And follow the @COVIDSciOntario Science Advisory Table. We're an independent group of scientists volunteering our time - and we're your neighbours, family, friends. We care about this province, and we're trying to help by giving you the facts you need to get through this. /FIN
