low staffing levels and COVID-19 infections within LTC homes. How to prevent the spread of pandemic in NHs https://t.co/wAvzNi1thM
@rmbateman Except that Ontario didn't really deal with COVID as quickly as British Columbia did. Yes, the 1st case was Ontario on Jan 25th, 2nd was BC 2 days later, but BC took action sooner, ie "dealt" with it sooner so, in fact, has dealt with it longer
@fordnation what's important is saving the elderly who are dying in LTC homes. This is the real story. https://t.co/wm76lSWDCR
