I’m seeing exactly the same mutism from our Public Health in N.B. I think it’s witness to political intrusion in the work of that department. Why politicians would want to impede the wellness of it’s population, I don’t know, don’t understand...
What also is unsettling is that PH doesn’t ask us doctors to inform the population by sharing ALL the information you mention in your blog. It would be relatively easy for us to relay the information to our patients and even our communities... (I just found out last month that they have been monitoring wastewater in my town... the MAYOR wasn’t even aware!!)
It’s getting painfully clear that it’s not the Department of Health but rather the Department of Sickness...
It seems to be quite a dystopian time. I have tried without success to get my local PH , or any other medical organization to speak out but the silence and disdain is deafening. Medicine is a team sport and I’m not sure the team is one worth playing on
Thanks for continuing to provide this important information. It certainly seems that our provincial governments have directed our public health organizations to stop providing even the most basic information to us relating to covid and respiratory illness in general. This is just outrageous. These people are charged with making decisions in society's best interests not putting the needs of unrestrained capitalism and individual freedoms first. Disheartening to say the least.
I wear Prescient elastomeric. Wife wears Aura. Kids wear Breathteq KN95s. Factors for decision making include fit, comfort, and style which will of course differ by individual.
“COVID was never more threatening overall than flu...” That statement alone tells me you have NEVER taken care of a COVID patient. Have you ever seen a ward FULL of flu patients? Neither have I. Have you ever seen a ward full of COVID patients AND an ICU full of COVID patients on respirators? I have. For you to come on here and vomit your COVID denying crap is a direct insult to all that have suffered from a COVID infection and all the families that have lost a loved one to this virus.

What masks do you recommend for adults and kids? Same for both or different for each? Thank you!

Comparing COVID to infected romaine lettuce... 🙄
If I may ask, who do you work for ?
I work for the Vitalité Health network in New Brunswick as a hospitalist and GPO.
