    Ontario's new measures to curb #COVID19: 1. Limiting non-essential travel - helpful 2. Prolonging stay at home - helpful 3. Increasing hotspot vaccine - helpful 4. Defining essential work - helpful 5. Support for essential workers - absent 6. Limiting outdoor recreation - huh?

    Ontario's closure of outdoor recreational activities (including pickleball!) to control #COVID19 does not make sense. Outdoor activities are vital for mental & physical health, especially with stay-at-home orders. Science is clear: Outdoor COVID transmission is extremely rare.

    Writing is on the wall...Omicron will replace Delta and vaccines will still work, but 3 doses better than 2. We should open 3rd doses to 18+ to keep ahead of this variant in 🇨🇦

    1. Canada vaccinated over 400000 people yesterday (technically 400,489, or ~1% of pop). 2. Over 40% of adults have received at least a single dose. 3. We are ranked 3rd of G20 countries for % of population who received at least 1 dose. 🇨🇦 moving quickly in the right direction.

    ANYBODY in Ontario who lives in a high burden neighbourhood who is 18 years and older will be eligible for #COVID19 vaccination. This will help essential workers, families, communities, etc. A very smart move.

    Pfizer's antiviral COVID pill (Paxlovid) will be approved in Canada imminently. Fantastic news. We can put this to good use.

    To the people tapping on watermelons in grocery stores trying to determine if they are ready: WE know you don't know what you're doing. YOU know you don't know what you're doing. Can we stop with this charade?

    We're not going to '3rd dose' our way out of the pandemic just like we were never going to mask our way out. Vaccines (especially 1st & 2nd but also 3rd), masks, rapid tests, ventilation, sound policy, etc... ...each is a helpful tool providing additional/incremental benefit.

    183,399 #COVID19 vaccines were administered in Ontario, as of 8pm today. You read that right...>183K, the most vaccines administered in the province in a single day. By far. Happy Victoria Day long weekend everyone. (Darting Raven, by Kenojuak Ashevak, h/t @CanadaPaintings)

    Replying to @GovCanHealth
    Yeah, nobody cares. I'm still going with Pfizer, Moderna, & AZ rather than [unpronounceable], the name of a D-division volleyball team, and Vaxixkckerkrzvia.

    Locking down does not protect essential workers, who, by virtue of being 'essential', still have to go to work. Policies to protect essential workers protect the individual, the community & curb the pandemic faster (e.g. paid sick leave, creating safer work spaces, vaccination).
