Disclaimer: if your kids' vaccine photo shows up in my timeline, you get a ♥️. I don't care if we don't know each other. You're a good human and you deserve to know it.

it’s funny but really just sad cause with virtually any other preventable disease (polio or measles) we decided as a society that the number of children we were willing to accept in hospital or dead was: zero. with covid it’s lets continue to find out?

As a Saskatchewan citizen I invested an enormous amount of time & energy into the process that culminated in the creation of the SHA. I am deeply concerned about some of the things that are currently happening at the SHA. I believe all citizens should be concerned (1/21)

The SHA Board selected Scott Livingstone as its inaugural CEO. Trained as a pharmacist, Scott had served as the CEO of the Saskatchewan Cancer Agency prior to his appointment as SHA CEO. I have always had & still have a very high regard for Scott's leadership (10/21)

Today I am also calling upon my fellow citizens to pay attention to how the Minister's action may ultimately erode the quality of healthcare you may receive. If the integrity of our publicly funded healthcare system is eroded, we will all suffer! (21/21)

I am thankful that Dr. Shahab kept his KN95 mask on throughout the time he was in the Radio Room with Scott Moe . Hopefully, in future. Premier Moe will wear a KN95 mask and keep it n while speaking - they make a difference!

As Saskatchewan teachers, kids, HCWs, first responders are ALL being mowed down by COVID, #SK bars & nightclubs STILL at 100% capacity. We're prioritizing the comfort & convenience of privileged adults OVER the health of our citizens. Ethically, there's NO WAY to justify that.

As a teacher, I spend the entirety of my classes in a mask. I can speak loudly and clearly enough for all of my students to hear. I see absolutely no reason Scott Moe & Merriman need to take their masks off to speak to the press except to blow their little dog whistles.

We have reached a "watershed" in Saskatchewan in which a Premier with a farming background is claiming that his interpretation of the scientific COVID data is more valid than that of all medical experts. André Picard Dr. Alexander Wong Dr. Katharine Smart Canada's CPHO Sask Medical Assoc.

Today's wastewater data for Saskatoon is dismal: a 58.5% increase in viral load over last 7 days. Prince Albert? 358% increase. North Battleford? 319% increase. So no signs of peak yet in 2 big #SK cities. BIG increases in 'rural' #SK. LONG road ahead w/ Omicron in #SK.

A decent thread to help explain "endemic": When people ask, “When will we get to endemic?”, what they really mean is, “When can we reopen?”, “When can the masks come off?”, “When will COVID be less disruptive?”, and maybe, “What amount of disease and death is acceptable to us?”

The anecdotes of sudden death in young- mid age adults is like nothing I’ve seen in my career as a cardiologist. At what point does “anecdotal” evidence translate into urgent investigation & consensus documents to empower us to prevent these terrible outcomes? #MedTwitter
