Enough.

We have a deadly and disabling airborne disease just being allowed to circulate.

I now have a fever, cough, etc. I am sick. I care for patients. I am getting PCR testing, but we have to cancel/reschedule my patients booked for tomorrow and likely next week.

We have to stop pretending covid isn't serious.

We have to stop pretending covid isn't directly and massively contributing to our current health care crises.

We have to stop pretending individual protections are enough. They aren't.

2/7
Covid is serious, it's wrecking our health system, and we need society-level measures to stop its damage.

@JasonCoppingAB @GoAHealth we need:
1. N95 masks + mandates
2. Indoor air quality measures (ventilation, filtration (#crboxes #hepa), and air sterilization (far UVC)

3/7
3. full test(PCR)/trace/isolate
4. paid sick leave
5. a robust vaccination campaign and easy-access process

We simply cannot go on like this anymore. People are dying. People are getting disabled. People can't access the healthcare they need.



4/7
People can't stop covid on their own. We need governments to do their duty and use all the tools they have at their disposal to #ProtectOurPeople.

Happy update: all my testing (pcr rapid, pcr, rapid antigen tests) are negative and I feel well. Yay! Clinic next week will not be cancelled.

My concerns stay: covid is mutating, and we will have more and more waves until we do a good job of stopping it. (See tweet 3 above).
