The world feel less safe this morning. I am thinking about family and friends in #war zones. Concerned for Israelis and Palestinians everywhere. My heart breaks for humanity.
Good news! @OttawaHealth is planning to distribute XBB.1.5 #COVID19 mRNA vaccine to community #CovidVaccine providers (that includes family docs!) and OPH clinics in mid/late October. So we can offer it at the same time as #flu shots. #Ottawa, let’s have a #Jabapalooza Oct 22nd!
Raised my hand at recent #Ottawa Carleton District School Board meeting to ask when we’ll warn students/staff that #COVID19 levels are very high in our city, we’re heading into #RSV & #flu season, and Ottawa Public Health has asked people to #MaskUp indoors.
The time to act is now.
Sigh.
THIS WAS PREVENTABLE! I felt unwell when I woke up Saturday. Instead of going to synagogue for #RoshHashanah, I tested for #COVID19. Positive.
Two weeks into the school year (where my daughter is one of a few who mask), and I attended two school board meetings as a trustee (where I was one of only two people masked).
Because others refused to listen to public health and #MaskUp, I now have to cancel 1-2 weeks of patients. (No, I will NOT work while sick or risk exposing any of my patients).

Imagine turning to a room of colleagues to say their silence as I receive antisemitic death threats isn’t OK. The only person to respond says *they* are uncomfortable with the risk I bring to them (dismissing that I’m the target as a Jew), so can I please stay off social media…
