No worries. That is so sad to hear- for his wife and children. These are the difficult stories facing those in the medical community every day. I can't imagine how tough it's been. Thank you for reaching out.

@cbcJillDempsey Thanks for your reply! For some reason my husband heard twice (2 diff’t reports) “25,000”, so he got concerned & just asked me to bring it to your attention. But maybe he missed the “1 hundred (and 25 thousand)”. We know one of the 8 VIIT victims, a 41-yo dad of 2 small kids 💔💔

Hi nice to hear from you. The preliminary data we have is one per 125,000. The new calculation is one in 60-thousand. We have tried to be clear all morning about the increased risk. I hope this helps.

@cbcJillDempsey Hi Jill, it’s been a long time! Still love hearing your voice. My doctor husband asked me to let you know that the risk of AZ was initially 1 in 250,000 (your reports stating 25,000...you’re missing a zero) and now it’s 1 in 55,000. The risk is going up, not down.

@GlobalBC @NeetuGarcha Hey @NeetuGarcha, it's great that you did this! I've seen this struggle in me & many others...names mispronounced, and by ourselves first! It's an issue I've always wanted to explore on my podcast "Desiland". I'd love to have you on as a guest. Please get in touch! :) Niru Kumar

What's in a name?
Global BC reporter @NeetuGarcha explores that question as she describes how she’s been saying her own name wrong most of her life, why she’s decided to stop and how to say it correctly.

Along with vice-president Kamala Harris, 15 other Indian-Americans are headed to Washington, DC after being named to key positions in the Biden administration. Needless to say, our friend @NiruKumar of @DesilandNA is thrilled. desiland.ca/desicabinet/ #Desiland

@StandUpAli 😂😂 Most people don’t stand a chance coming out of this looking “normal”.

Been doing this since I was 22. These guys think they can just step into the game, no experience, and make themselves presentable? FAT CHANCE.
(Also, just shave your head. It’s easiest)
