Hospitals in California, New York, and Massachusetts have reinstated mask mandates.

How long will we wait in Canadian hospitals and healthcare clinics?

Nov 2022, the chief of staff of the children’s hospital in begged people to (not that anti-maskers would let her speak when I brought that to our school board - antisemitic death threats still continue).

is on the rise. Everyone’s at risk. At the minimum, healthcare should lead.

@nilikm@med-mastodon.com @CBCNews@press.coop yes healthcare should be the leader in this fight. And ya I remember those school board meetings, was watching the streams, and thought, what are these people daft?? Its Like they want there kids to be sick all the time and they have to stay home and miss work And have no money... but yet they complain about their kids being home sick and having no money... make you wonder sometimes
@nilikm @CBCNews This is great news, but I'm not expecting my state to follow any time soon. :-(

@nilikm @CBCNews Let us be clear though. It’s only *some* hospitals, not all hospitals in CA, NY & MA, sadly. They are the exception.

@nilikm @CBCNews Comparing covid to a fire, Alberta will wait until half of the province has burned down before they pick up the phone to call 911. While they're busy getting it under control, the government will complain about it hurting the economy and cut funding to the fire department. From there the government will take credit for any success and say the fires only killed people with pre-existing conditions so we shouldn't care.

It's been about a month since I had to take a family member to several hospitals and labs in the Port Perry and Oshawa area.

All required masking. 👍

I hope it hasn't changed since.
