Tonight's LTC round-up. We're going to start with this portrait of a happy 100-yo mum with #dementia, with her pup. This right here, this is what our elders deserve.

Instead, this this what we have. In two nights, we've lost 89 more people to #COVID19. Steady 78% of our deaths to date. Are our leaders treating it like an emergency? Sure doesn't seem so.

Tonight's LTC round-up. The count continues. By @NoLore's reckoning, 9,220 of 11,710 deaths in 🇨🇦 from #COVID19 are in LTC/RH homes.

That's 4 out of 5 deaths.

Please send info to @NoLore; BC/SK seem to be esp. bad with data.

On the other hand, ON's got a ton of data, and nothing seems to be changing. Nearly 400 people that were with us in the summer are now gone, because we didn't prevent their deaths.

Tonight's LTC update: the #BrokenHeartsEmptyShoes event was held on Parliament Hill, asking for improved LTC standards across Canada. By "Canadians 4 LTC Standards". What LTC staff are asking for is clear - better staffing, PPE, and a reduction in community transmission #COVIDzero

Tonight's LTC round-up starts with travel back in time to April 2020, with this happy article written on Kennedy Lodge in Toronto. It talks about how the home will keep residents safe, residents' favourite activities, food. Families. Check it out.

toronto.com/news-story/996… Here is Kennedy Lodge today. 31 residents lost to COVID-19, 128 infected. You see the pattern: Chain-owned, anonymous PSW, understaffing, inadequate PPE.

No names mentioned of course, just faceless numbers.

The right policies could have avoided this.

Today's LTC round-up: 101 cases in an LTC home in Abbottsford BC (ONE HUNDRED AND ONE), inc half the residents. 2 deaths. Theme of understaffing + burnout: 16-hour shifts on alternating days, 11-12 nonstop days, dirty face masks.

And this:
There seems to be a problem with transparency around LTC outbreaks in BC. See discussion about "govt blackout" below.

THREAD: /1 A #COVID19 infected individual releases infectious particles by talking, coughing, sneezing, laughing, etc., “Aerosol transmission” acknowledges airborne spread of the virus. It has different PH implications than droplet transmission.
