#SafeAccessToHealthcare
I do not understand the ongoing lack of protection from Covid in healthcare settings -

Is it hubris? Apathy? Reconciling moral injury? Misinformation? Delusion? Trauma response?

Am at a loss. I don’t know how to make them care anymore

Young child with possible leukaemia goes to hospital for bone marrow biopsy & ends up in ICU with RSV

We need mandatory masking in healthcare.

A baby can’t protect themselves. You can’t take a “you do you” approach with an infant.

I wonder if someday Canadian hospitals will recognize the importance of mitigating #covid aerosol transmission. They seem willing to risk the health of patients rather than take on the burden of wearing respirators and ventilation/filtration.

Some ON hospitals have started to quietly reduce masking.

Help build a critical mass and urge those in charge to change course.
