With valid concern for #LTC, DO NOT FORGET residents of retirement homes and assisted living. We find the same immune (humoral) profile. 👇 @CovidInltc Dawn Bowdish COVID-19 Immunity Task Force What's good for #LTC is good for all high risk seniors who get services in congregate care!

Kudos to Len Gray who has been a significant mentor to me, and many! Was fortunate to spend time in the precursors to UQ Centre for Health Services Research early in my development as a scientist in geriatric health services. Grateful to work with Len Gray and team.

Kudos to the Local, again. Pls use their RAT tracker so we have some level of reporting.

A wonderful thread on #Omicron dynamics (esp. UK).👇 Very glad for vaccine acquired immunity to blunt the deaths/severity in Canada, but infection pressure on our frail health resources causing its own devastation. We continue to neglect our heath human resources at our peril.

👇 + saw some encouraging real world booster/3rd dose VE (delta) data from 🇺🇸 today. But doesn’t change the fact that #LTC staffing challenge is massive. 🤞

@VBoscart Thank you Veronique! #Respect #love Let's keep the focus on those doing good, caring for the vulnerable.

Really excited about this! The best is yet to come from our team of caregivers, care recipients, care coordinators, content developers, and developers. It shouldn’t be this hard to navigate home and community care, and digital navigation is possible. Carers Canada Health Canada and PHAC
