People with no local political power to lose:”the pandemic is not over”. Local politicians who don’t want to lose their base: “but feel free to ignore all the health behaviours that would make it over”

They're literally cancelling surgeries at children's hospitals. But wearing a mask or avoiding unnecessary gatherings right now is too much to ask of grown-ups.

The CMOH doesn't follow his own advice on masking.
How is this supposed to make the parents of sick children and burnt out healthcare workers feel as the number of PICU patients continues to exceed PICU capacity?

Only in a society in which selfishness is a virtue would masking be a personal choice.

Ontario’s Minister of Health said that masking is a “personal choice.” But the people who are sick & dying from COVID, RSV & influenza right now were most likely infected by someone who chose not to wear a mask. Bad "personal choices" can have grave consequences for others.

Is not the definition of prevention. Had you ever been preventative we wouldn’t be in this position.

And yet there’s nothing posted about todays outage in Toronto. Have to scour the internet for other sources of information.

Please take a moment to vote. I'd like to see if there is a quiet majority that favours masks to protect kids.

“Wait and see” is NOT preventative medicine. Preventative medicine reduces health care costs in both money and lives. @TOPublicHealth

As researcher on how young women respond to gender discrimination, I wish Iliza Shlesinger’s special Hot Forever was required viewing for my students. But as @iliza says, I should probably be on TikTok dancing to get that message heard by those who need to hear it.

1. A reminder to everyone that earloop respirators are generally not much better than surgical masks. Please upgrade to N95 (or better) and abandon using KN95/KF94 mask (like you gave up bandanas and scarves in 2021) journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…
