89% of Ontario seniors want to live at home for as long as possible.
State of home care:
-staffing shortages
-low wages (worse than LTC)
-for-profits provide most of care
As home care & LTC are part of a continuum, why are we only speaking about fixing LTCβ¦but not home care?

Two things you always need to tell patients having a miscarriage:
1. You did not cause this.
2. You could not have stopped this from happening.
The amount of self-torture you will prevent by telling them this is incredibly important.

Carey Price is an NHL superstar.
Last year, he met an 11-year old fan who had just lost his mom to cancer.
The young boy thought it would be the only time he'd get to meet his idol β until Price called him up and brought him as a guest to the NHL Awards.

What happened when adults with intellectual disability were admitted to hospital with COVID in the first wave in the UK? More severe symptoms but less intensive treatment -
Greater likelihood of death once in hospital, and patients with ID died faster.
Our new report on treatment inequality of ppl with #IntellectualDisability during the #COVID19 pandemic. Despite being more unwell at admission, they were less likely to have invasive treatment e.g. intubation that may have contributed to excess mortality @SarahPapey @KingsIoPPN
