🚨RAPID TEST PSA🚨 Do BOTH a THROAT swab and a nose swab. Multiple cases now of people with sore throat or cough, testing negative on nose swab and positive on throat swab. Do NOT trust a negative swab if you're symptomatic, especially if it was just a nose swab.

The situation in Alberta is dire ICUs are on the verge of collapse Jason Kenney has demonstrated a failure of leadership while ignoring the pleas of health experts In the absence of such leadership, I am urging Mr. Trudeau and the Federal govt to intercede and help save lives

1/I’m not sure how many tweets this is gonna take so bear with me. The provincial government has driven us straight into the most hellish pandemic situation in the country, but no one is resigning? Halfhearted apologies with no responsibility or accountability acknowledged?

Dear @jkenney - Do Something. Anything. Before your inaction forces physicians into making decisions we will never recover from. Begging and pleading. On behalf of all Albertans. #COVID19AB

Hinshaw blames Alberta's fourth wave trajectory on 'open for summer' plan calgary.ctvnews.ca/hinshaw-b… She says that removing restrictions sent the wrong message to Albertans that Covid was over. Hinshaw also says evidence from BC is that vaccine mandates work.

It’s me, the respiratory therapist and the bedside nurse gowning up together. Only 3 of us will do this to reduce the risk of exposure. Despite the layers of protective clothing between us she can see the concern in my eyes, and I see the fear in hers.

When I hear the comment that we need to regain time that has been lost this academic year, I will note that teachers never stopped working or delivering lessons to students. @albertateachers

Tell the government to keep their hands off teachers' pensions! act.newmode.social/631610862…
Documents obtained through a FOIP request clearly show that there is $136M less funding for the 19/20 school year, compared to 18/19. Overall, this adds up to a 4 per cent cut in per-pupil funding. loom.ly/gyCVz5Q #abed #ableg

Fact: After losing 50,000 full-time jobs since your boss handed over $4.7 billion to corporations, youth unemployment is now at 14.7% - the highest rate since the 1980s. To claim youth unemployment is at its lowest rate in decades is a lie. #ableg #abpoli
Fact: we have the lowest youth unemployment rate in decades. Completion and participation rates at our institutions are low. We need to do better. And we will. #ableg #abpse
