ok so we just keep continuing to live this cartoon episode for as long as possible instead of getting whatever shot is available to us? lol

Sooo... they just shut down in-class school again.

Back to online we go.

I don’t blame them for doing this... I blame them for having not vaccinated teachers, ECEs, and other staff so that they could have avoided this.

As for the AZ recommendation to not be given to those under 55, I see this as just playing a numbers game. If you are over 55 you may be statistically more likely to have serious complications from Covid, so take your chances with AZ if its all you can get, however if you're younger take the Covid and statistically you'll survive. Its clearly an inferior vaccination, pretty sad how its being pushed on us like we're in a third world country.

I still debate taking the AZ if I could get it, but having had extremely rare side effects of medications find me, I'm hoping I could wait for one of the better two and battle Covid, were it to find its way into me.

I almost intubated someone in the hallway of the hospital tonight because there were no rooms available for their acuity level (they were very sick and covid+.)

It doesn’t matter whether the person has comorbidities. They’re sick and I’m seeing it more and more.
I’ve already brought 4 people who are now in the ICU over the past 3 shifts.
Toronto has dropped to code zero on multiple occasions the past shifts I’ve been working, that means no available ambos.
The problem is not you getting sick anymore and it isn’t the comprbidities.

The problem is the ICU is packed and they’re maintaining intubated patients in a holding pattern in the EMRG, waiting to go up.
In doing so, I was with my covid + patient for almost 4 hours on to the point I almost intubated them.

A seizing patient brought in by EMS had to bring the patient into a room with a dead (pronounced) covid patient who had just been pronounced 20 minutes prior and hospital environmental services and body removal hadn’t cleaned the room or moved the body.

I’ll also say the patients I’ve been transporting are in fact younger with little to no known health issues.
My partner and I used to cancel about 90% of our covid patients. That percentage has heavily shifted.

Today we had a person with an oxygen saturation of 8% with a good wave form. That patient will die in ICU.

Don’t worry about the media... just hope Ford does two things: vaccinate and get people their sick days.

It’s not about lockdowns (won’t work) and it’s not about stay at home(won’t work.)

I’m 15h23m into my shift right now, sorry for the rant.

The media is fucking stupid and the narrative is all wrong.

If you have Instagram or Twitter, follow Dr.Warner from Michael Garron Hospital. He will explain this all.

What I want to know is what is the general health of the majority of these younger (lets say under 50) Covid patients that are requiring hospitalization or EMT treatment?
They're saying younger patients are requiring hospitalizations, but are they smokers? obese? sedentary lifestyles? Not much about this in the media as these numbers / reports we see daily don't discuss this, just an increase in numbers meant to scare us into compliance....

well, people have been ignoring this "Stay Home" order.
The driving range by my place is always full, nearby parks are full of cars.

It's finally time to do something.
FUck "my rights".
That's what's causing this drag.


Australia did a heavy intensive lock down in the beginning.
People were angry.
But they are now almost Covid free with only 29,000 Total Cases.

It's too late for us now, but whatever encourages people to stop fool around, I am good with it.

Even with this new authority, you know most cops won't do anything.
We are sick of this.

You don't like it, but the best way to beat Covid is going full Communist mode.
Countries that had heavy restrictions in the beginning, they are sitting at restaurants with friends today.

It IS very late.

But We can't get enough vaccine, so that's the next "best" thing.

My friends dad's long waited heart valve replacement surgery just got cancelled.
It was supposed to be today....

Worked 64 hours in 4 shifts this week.
Off for the weekend before going back in for 4 nights.

There is more covid for sure. Virtually everyone under 60.
Stay safe and healthy everyone... and take care of your mental health. Get outside and exercise... go for a walk with your family.

Ya it really sucks.
She is devastated and posted a self video in tears.
I would be too if my parent's life saving surgery was cancelled.
