Increasingly, we see this pandemic is just as much (more?) about a chronically underfunded #ONhealth system rather than about #COVID infections specifically. https://www.intelligencer.ca//hpe-declared-a-yellow-covid- Ontario Medical Association #ONpoli #CDNhealth FordNation Christine Elliott

In Canada, #Influenza ("the #flu") kills 3500 per YEAR. #COVID19 has already killed over 9200 in just 6 MONTHS... (DEATHS, not "cases") In other words, it's a big deal. https://www.myhealthunit.ca//fact-sheet-flu-grippe-faits-f https://health-infobase.canada.ca/covid-19/epidemiological-summary-covid-19-cases.html

I have been wearing a mask in stores and on the job (and limiting my trips) since end of March when this whole thing went down. I’m not sure how being considera...te to others for the common good is now being mocked by some who are calling it living in fear, but it needs to stop. When I wear a mask over my nose and mouth in public and in the stores/Supermarkets/Pharmacies/Offices - I want you to know the following: I'm educated enough to know that I could be asymptomatic and still give you the virus. No, I don't "live in fear" of the virus; I just want to be part of the solution, not the problem. I don't feel like the "government controls me". I feel like I'm an adult contributing to the security within our society and I want to be an example to others to do the same. If we could all live with the consideration of others in mind, the whole world would be a much better place. Wearing a mask doesn't make me weak, scared, stupid or even "controlled". It makes me caring and responsible. When you think about your appearance, discomfort, or other people's opinion of you, imagine a loved one - a child, father, mother, grandparent, aunt, uncle or even a stranger - placed on a ventilator, alone without you or any family member allowed at their bedside... Ask yourself if you could have helped them a little by wearing a mask. I copied and posted. Who else will do the same? See more
