The numbers are one thing — the stories are another. Ontario has been led into a humanitarian crisis and it's time to make our leaders face the stories of those impacted by their decisions. #MyCOVIDStory #COVID19ON #ONPoli

Why should I care about these new COVID lockdown rules?
Why should I support employees to stay home when they have symptoms?
Consider the rising cases of COVID that are taking over the ICUs across the province. Find out more at howsmyflattening.ca #CancelledCareON

What a great initiative and delighted to see that trainees can put their details in to sign the #JohnSnowMemorandum as well! A science-based approach is the ONLY way forward.

Happy to join a growing list of physicians, scientists, and public health specialists signing the #JohnSnowMemorandum - outlining a rational and science-based approach to #COVID19 control, and does NOT rely on mass natural infection to drive immunity.
