Thinking about the CMOH/Shandro presser today & I am really struck by the staunch defence of the oath of confidence re: cabinet discussions.

As a tax payer w/ some common sense & a detestation for paternalism, the lack of respect for transparency is a bit distressing.#COVID19AB

Feel obligated to comment on recordings and revelations of political interference in healthcare re: #COVID19 in Ontario, Alberta, same as we have heard about LTC.

The elephant in the room for me as a patient, and a major worry of mine for #patientsafety...is politics as usual.

Vital new @CFHI_FCASS policy guidance on reintegrating family caregivers into healthcare settings during #COVID19:

1. Differentiate between visitors & caregivers
2. Recognize the value of caregivers
3. Involve patients, families & caregivers in the creation of "visitor" policies https://twitter.com/CFHI_FCASS/status/1330900849904803844

Great discussion just now with @MA_Gagnon for a future @patientcritical podcast,
about the Patented Medicine Pricing Review Board changes, why they are necessary, what still needs to be improved & why national #pharmacare is another important piece of the #healthcare puzzle.

School cases climbing rapidly.

Likely that school-based transmission is contributing to community transmission and vice versa.

(No school-based surveillance, and no phylogenetics, so we don't have the data to definitively prove or refute the above point.) https://twitter.com/jm_mcgrath/status/1326185584755400706

2020 will be remembered as the year when press releases by pharmaceutical companies and news articles based on press releases copy-paste have been hailed as .. scientifical evidence. We deserve better than this. #COVID19 #EBM
