Step One: Recognize that it is a public health emergency
Step Two: Engage people DIRECTLY involved with the impact of the public health emergency to understand what is needed
Step Three: Take action to address the needs

The #Alberta model. Works best when you don’t keep score.
Release #overdose data for Q2 @jasonluan88.

I can’t confirm overdose deaths in rural Alberta over the past couple weeks, as I’m a peer worker and not privy to AHS database, but I think obituaries count 🤷🏻♀️ At least one person lost in #killam #bashaw #delburne #drumheller #camrose @jkenney @jasonluan88

The inevitable result of the war on drugs. Legally regulate the supply and these people lose their power. Someone on this thread suggested a missile would ‘take them out’. No. A missile would merely make rivals happy. Rivals are endless- until it’s legal.

Save lives. Decriminalize.
As Canada continues to battle an opioid epidemic, the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police is calling on federal lawmakers to decriminalize the possession of small amounts of illegal drugs for personal consumption.

To the #SCSReview panel and @jasonluan88.
‘In this study, we identified notable cost savings produced through overdose management at SCS...The SCS thus offers direct savings, and secondary benefits from fewer visits to emergency departments.’

Leaders & commentators getting more worked up about property damage than police killings; more exercised about public order than white supremacy, cooing words about peaceful change when they mean no change, calling for calm when they mean submission. You are seen.

This is the 2nd time I’ve lived thru dual public health emergencies (then AIDS & overdose, now #COVID19 & overdose). Both times the #overdose crisis took a back seat. Not all public health emergencies are treated equally, nor are the people who are most vulnerable during them.

"It makes me concerned about what happens when we're not looking," he said. "And that resonates with the stories that I hear from patients who have had encounters with police officers."

Prevention should not be a privilege during #COVID19. Not everyone has the luxury to wash their hands, physically distance and stay at home. HousingFirst means #safesupply #harmreduction #COVIDequity.Opinion editorial with @CoreyRanger straight.com/news/covid-19-l…

What should Albertans do if they feel sick? Please share widely.
❎ Do NOT go to your doctor’s office, ER or clinic.
✅ Take the COVID-19 self-assessment: bit.ly/3d6eyJ3
✅ Call Health Link 811 if instructed.
Most importantly – stay home. #COVID19AB

Academic peeps: I've lived through many disasters. Here is my advice on "productivity". First, play the long game. Your peers who are trying to work as normal right now are going to burn out fast. They're doomed. Make a plan with a longer vision. /1

“The report lacks validity and reliability and, therefore, should not be used to inform public policy.”
Retract.
