Disappointing news.
1. There is decent data to support #COVID19 vaccine boosters for select populations (e.g. immunocompromised) but it's a stretch to extend this to everyone.
2. Billions in low/middle income countries are waiting for 1st doses while getting throttled by Delta.

Unless you have a 70% chance of surviving your intubation/resuscitation and ICU care you will be allowed to die.
This is coming from Critical Care Services Ontario in the days ahead.
We've all been put on notice.

I don’t think people are quite getting how significantly the arrival of the P1 variant has changed the game in Brazil, signaling a much darker phase of the pandemic, and what this means for the world.

I saw a tweet about how there isn’t enough discussion of what experts got wrong on COVID, so here’s a thread of things I got wrong.

“Doctors and nurses are declining the vaccine” is exactly the message anti-vaxxers want you to hear.
Retweet if you’re a healthcare worker who’s already been vaccinated or is eagerly awaiting vaccination.

She didn’t fail 6 rounds of chemotherapy. Chemo failed her. She didn’t progress, the disease progressed. She never complained about side effects. She reported them. She didn't become palliative, she needed a new way of treating her whole being as she lived #caregiver #WordsMatter

I was taking care of a patient the other day who was very seriously injured. And I stepped out to talk to his family briefly and give them an update. For context, he was Black. I told them what was going on quickly and asked if they had any questions. And this is what they said.

Process we used is incredibly important & I encourage all developing their own to do so w/ excellent intentions... then just make it happen. Not 100s of meetings or sign offs. There's no time. We rolled these out and literally used 6hrs later. #covid19 has changed everything.

Our #COVID19 Protected Airway process as of 03/22/20. We've broken it down into three steps:
1. Pre-brief as a team before entering
2. Call-and-response checklist during intubation, led by Safety/Logistics Officer
3. Pre-departure transport checklist
Share, revise, discuss.
