Interestingly interpretation of the following tweet. It may suprise the good doctor that the working class have taken on the chin, absorbing lockdowns, the stuttering of their businesses, the destruction of their financial security. They were thrown to the wind. 1/

This is documented in the public health/economic literature. Perhaps the good doctor could take some time to read this body of work, lay summaries of which can be found on Global Collateral. This website is run by world class epidemiologists deeply concerned with the damage.
The good doctor seems unaware that members of the OST have also highlighted the class based shortcoming of Canada's C19 response. Many of us started raising this issue 13 months ago and it was widely ignored. 3/
Through the destruction of financial predictability/security, Canada's C19 response has fueled despair and accelerated death. This is readily noted in Canada's all cause mortality data (see Statistics Canada). 4/
The working class do see the C19 response differently and it has little to do with race or political orientation. It may surprise the good doctor that politicians, like Bernie Sanders, routinely discuss this issue in detail. It weighs heavily on his mind as well. 5/
So perhaps,this is a good place to start and to consider the consequences of our ill conceived C19 response. Our mistake aren't trivial and it will impact this country, particularly those of the working class, for a generation. End.
