This is heading into the wrong direction, no question, and I stay true to what I have been saying all along: healthcare strain is what should be the metric to watch in an largely immune population. But closing schools for an arbitrary number of weeks? A few thoughts...

Great piece that incorporates the elements that go into decision making, specifically around deciding which patients should be admitted, especially those that fall in the “grey zone”

Ditto when it comes critical care. As time goes by, the number of patients I encounter my age or younger increases. Continuous exposure to tragic stories creates grief and forces healthcare workers to face their own mortality. This trauma puts our healthcare workforce at risk.

As oncologist I am familiar with pain, loss and grief. But losing patients my own age to metastatic #cancer is just unbearable. To quote @marklewismd : Patients don’t fail treatments. Treatment fails patients. Honestly, sometimes that feels like we fail our patients.

Important to recognize that changes made today won’t be seen for weeks. Need to be aggressive with social isolation measures now while patient when observing the impact. Cases today are result of transmission days to weeks ago.

/Thread/ I did not participate in #BlackOutTuesday . While the spirit underlying it is commendable, I do not think you can enhance your awareness of such a complex and difficult issue by sharing a black screen.

If they spent a chunk of the weekend completing these mandatory modules, I have a sense of how they will respond to this query of “how their weekend was?”

For now I am not how much more I know about fire safety or privacy than I knew before doing the modules, but I did learn from the module created by @uoftmedicine that I MUST ask people I work with if they enjoyed their weekend.

Have we hit our peak for this wave? Probably not but this is the first time in this wave that the number of COVID patients in ICU were less than the day before. The overall icu census is over 2k, which is troubling given the census we have seen during this pandemic.

This captures the emotional roller coaster of dealing with a family member with covid. Also highlights that some people may be risk averse and get unlucky. Others may engage in risky behavior and avoid being exposed because of a mix of privilege and pure, dumb luck!

Thanks @drmwarner . Nice primer for the public on what intensivists do and what we (ie I) am worried about.

@michael_detsky introducing the public to the next battlefront in the war on #COVID19 ...the ICU. This is going to happen very quickly. The reason intensivists are ringing the alarm bell so loudly is because we see what is coming.
