On Thursday afternoon at 2:53pm doctors in Ottawa received a public health alert email from our associate medical officer of health Dr. Trevor Arnason. In it he plainly explains what we’re soon to be facing, “It is now likely that COVID-19 will reach high levels in the community prior to the availability of the new vaccine formulation in Ontario.”
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.

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