Pandemic recovery?! 😡 We are in the midst of a 6th wave that is starting when we are ALREADY at 120% capacity-which btw, we are managing with NO NEW RESOURCES to manage this overcapacity. Recovery cannot be possible without acknowledgement, support or ACTUAL frontline change.

That sound you hear is the gnashing of teeth of every leader in healthcare bracing for what’s coming after the firing of Dr Verna Yiu. She was smart, fair and insightful. She kept our heads above water. The UCP will install yet another crony to strafe the churning waters.

I know many of us who have been sacrificing to be careful for so long worry it was all a waste if we get Covid now anyways. But here’s the thing: it wasn’t just delaying getting Covid. It means you will have reduced the total number of times you get it - which ABSOLUTELY matters!

It is NOT “just the Flu”! Our study is out in JAMA showing that children with COVID in the #pedsICU have greater disease severity and health care burden compared to Influenza. True in otherwise healthy children and those with comormidities. jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman…

“At this point Covid in only a problem for people w/ preexisting conditions and/or weakened immune systems.” Even if that were true, a lot of you are missing one key point: If you’ve already had Covid before (which the majority of you have,) guess what that makes you now? 😶
