Amid the weather and travel carnage, there is also a nationwide shortage of blood products. Please make #BloodDonation the most important gift you give this Christmas

As the monkeypox virus (MPX) outbreak continues, a lot of data emerging in real-time & being rapidly disseminated (as well as misinformation). I complied the unfolding scientific data (with direct links to papers and threads) on what we (don’t) know so far. #IDTwitter 🧵(1/n)

#OntarioVotes June 2. Health Care is the single biggest provincial expenditure. @OntariosDoctors have issued a 5-point #Prescription4ON developed with broad consultation. How do the parties line up?

If anyone knows the person in this photo, I suggest reporting him to Ottawa Police Service. Read this whole thread - this person stepped over the line between “public nuisance” to “willful endangerment”

This proponent of “freedom” is standing on the grave of a man who died for it. The grave Nathan Cirillo died guarding. Every protest has its idiots, but this is abominable

If anyone is looking for that type of slightly hysterical laughter that can only happen when you have accepted that horrible things are happening …

Big Weather says there’s a snowstorm coming, but have you gone outside to do your own research? There is no snow!🚫❄️ Wake up! #ONStorm

FYI, if you made plans for in-person schooling based on the Thursday update, you need to revise them. This will be hard on those without childcare options

BREAKING: @ongov to announce (imminently) schools will go online for the next 2 weeks. As bitter a pill for some who will struggle mightily during this time, this will afford some needed time to upgrade safety measures, defuse the surge of Omicron.

@DrGregRose @aspatrick @DrAmirPakdel @OttawaHealth Last data point in Ottawa is 27DEC and it's expected the next few days will be much higher. One day makes a huge difference. Due to the holidays we won't have processed those dates until midweek. It suggests that transmission much greater in Calgary around 20-24DEC vs. Ottawa.
English
@aspatrick @DrAmirPakdel @OttawaHealth Yes, it is definitely rising now, but we have been at record-breaking local case numbers for the last 13 days. If this was like prior surges, the wastewater numbers would have broken records 3 weeks ago
English
@DrGregRose @DrAmirPakdel @OttawaHealth Hmmm. The graph I see for Ottawa today is showing a huge increase in viral signal.

@AntibioticDoc I am the designated wet blanket for my hospital. Who do you have in Edmonton? 😉
English
Throw a wet blanket over the whole area.
Also: highly at risk people, immunocompromised, medically complex elderly, older unvaccinated- get tested, you’re eligible for PCR- you might be a candidate for early (within 3-5d) treatment to lessen hospitalization risk.

Well, this is another truly alarming piece- another indicator that #omicron is riproaring through fairly well people, and severe outcomes are going to be climbing. Switching analogies- it’s a grass fire, and it’s not time isolate each flaming stalk, it’s time to throw

Good news: We’ve flattened the curve. Bad news: It’s against the y-axis.

@parsnipper As a society we idolize heroic last-ditch medicine ("Don't you die on me dammit!") and shun sensible day-to-day stuff. But the latter works better. Maybe the next MCU movie could be about a dietician, or a public health nurse?

And there you have it. Numbers nearly doubled in one week. Gonna be a rough winter. Get your boosters if you can, reconsider the Xmas parties, and go back to basics

@curtisharvie Best case scenario is a highly transmissible, rarely serious infection that burns quicker than we can control it, but causes little harm. That seems unlikely however

@DrGregRose The extent of my understanding of this thread is basically, "Ugh, this is really going to continue to suck."

A very sobering read, suggesting very strongly that #Omicron will have significant #ImmuneEscape. Not welcome news

A short thread with some thoughts & calculations of mine about Omicron. Still preliminary, so don't take any figures as final, but it's a start... 🧵
