As of Monday elective surgeries cancelled at hospitals in Ontario due to overwhelming ICU cases. This means only the most urgent life saving surgeries will go ahead. It also means many (not all) cancer surgeries for example will be postponed. https://t.co/gpCPoI9DZ9

New directive: another ramp down of elective surgeries and procedures. To save ICU capacity in highly populated areas of the province. @fordnation has failed the people. We are rationing health care to save space for what might come #FireFordOpenOntario

"Potential"

Does "emergency" include cancer surgery?

Deaths+hospitalizations are down – see @Milhouse_Van_Ho but our health is on hold because of more absurd "modelling".

Caring doctors must speak out against the madness.#onpoli #EndTheLockdowns https://t.co/71uaCiqJAm

My child is to see our pediatrician every few months to monitor her heart murmur.

Office called today b/c her Mon appt can't be in person thnx to @fordnation #stayathomeorder

How does the pediatrician check her heart over the phone? @DavidPiccini ?

It's about health, right?

If required, the hospital says it can convert existing beds and hospital space for a total capacity of 37 ICU beds

Then why don’t they?!!

People are dying because Ivermectin is going to lose Pharma companies a ton of money. Canadian doctors are following government guidelines rather than the latest evidence. We need regular people to learn the evidence and then demand evidence-based treatments from their doctors. https://t.co/kCFDUbEpPu

For nearly a year, hospitalizations in five Southern states with completely different interventions and mask mandates have followed the same exact curves, with nearly identical numbers.

Believe your own eyes. The number of hospitalizations and deaths is not proportional to "cases". They are not a function of each other.

Note that Ontario has yet to report vaccination data along with its case or hospitalization data. The province could clear up doubts re correl vs causation very easily, by cross-referencing the vaccination and hospitalization databases https://t.co/l63PKzedrS

I disagree on many issues w/ the Governor, but I am chilled by these actions.

There is no limiting principle.
In this case, the dispute is about kids wearing masks.

But even WHO & CDC disagree on kids 2-5 masks

How can elected officials be accountable to the public if YouTube is censoring what they’re saying?

Endless fear-mongering has turned censorious behaviour that would have been unthinkable two years ago into standard policy. #cdnpolihttps://t.co/ljRPg707Fe

"Due to the difference in sizes between SARS-CoV-2 diameter and facemasks thread diameter (the virus is 1000 times smaller), SARS-CoV-2 can easily pass through any facemask"

But masks outside compulsory!!

If I wanted to continue the 'pandemic' long after the flu and respiratory illness season had passed, I'd probably try and get the entire population to take a wildly inaccurate test twice a week throughout the summer months.

But that's just me.

Unfortunately, they were successful.

% positivity rates in Ontario school boards.

Key takeaways:
– Rates are significantly lower than in province overall
– Only 131 cases for all of Toronto – cumulatively
– Schools safer than community
– Cases likely from community to school, not vice versa. pic.twitter.com/yoehuxLAi6
