Bookmarking section 217.1 of the Criminal Code (in force via the Westray Law) that creates legal duty on people overseeing work of others to take all reasonable steps to prevent bodily harm to those others

Perhaps there IS crim liability in this mess ...

Crim Code and direct link to section here, for reference.

While I am here perhaps it is time to start a discussion around criminal negligence causing homicide for bad medical advice/studies provided to the public.

?
Just going to bookmark a few other threads here.

Doctors have ethical obligations to put forth the truth, etc., in their statements

Short thread discussing the engineering act (engineers need licence to practice) - is air/ventilation and engineering practice? Should doctors shut up?

And CMA and ethics on Canadian doctors again to put forth true and accurate information.

Canadian Medical Association (CMA) Code of Ethics and Professionalism

Article about medical ethics and its history

Thinking out loud, but when guidance is promulgated from a gov department that businesses must absolutely follow, and that guidance is negligent/wrong, I fail to see how the government dept can escape liability.

Similar thought, and consider product liability cases ...
Great irony:

In this case plaintiff dismissed from job because wouldn't wear N95. (He won $3000 for that being a reprisal)
- Ryan Reed v Allan Pipe Fab Inc., 2021 CanLII 18880 (ON LRB) canlii.org/en/on/onlrb/do…

MEANWHILE, every health care worker ever ...

A quick thread.

Literally, because I opened this PDF.

Viruses able to be spread by airborne can also spread over short. Image

Asking again why we have 34 indep medical officers of health handling pandemic response (or supposed to), with CMOH on top, then provincial political layer, then federal PHAC, and fed political layer ...?

VS

one central command like Taiwan (1100 cases, 12 deaths)
Taiwan:
Or Vietnam, one command

19 person outbreak at the Public Health Ontario labs.

Same PHO that says surgical masks just fine.

Same PHO that wrote that biased snobby and insulting summary of the aerosol conference in November.

Can't even make this stuff up.

"Wondered"?

Whether "community spread" or whether "somehow acquired through an infection from laboratory tests itself"

I'll tell you where from ...

"I think this is an airborne virus and it's more infectious than we give it credit for"

My God, it's full of stars.

Math modelling suggests may take as few as ten virions for someone to become infected with SARS-CoV-2.

Order of magnitude more infective than SARS.

Also blows up the 6 foot rule. Those babies from that stupid 1981 study gonna be upset.

That would be BANG on this dose response for SARS-CoV-1

Magic measles spreads just like COVID-19.

Imagine that.

Childcare, home, etc major settings.

Of course contact, because you need to at some point be near a sick person, but 40% unidentified locations.

nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…
Not all that useful, but this is the data we get in Toronto:

Ppl can do their own research since it ain't me saying droplet for one BREATHOUTABLE virus and airborne for magic measles.
And this is how stupid this debate is.

Lancet in 2017 says measles "predominantly" droplets.

On the airborne argument, fundamentally the reason they won't agree to ever change.
From UK IPS
Note the concern with breaking ranks from national guidance, which of course would apply similarly at national up to international level.
