Thank-you to the @remax @remaxhallmark family with @stevetabrizi @debrabain @barbarabrindle plus others on our webinar about #biosecurity of your listings office and family.

What gives VP Pence a pass on not wearing a #mask

What gives VP Pence a pass on not wearing a #mask @mayoclinic against hospital rules. Would he go to a #synagogue and not wear a #yarmulke or keep his shoes on in a #mosque. As #frontlinehealthworkers I take personal offence to his behaviour. And btw if I was the CEO @mayoclinic I'd ask him to stay in the lobby. How dare him visit patients without a mask. Shameful c suite team @mayoclinic. As a big institution who prides in leadership you failed because you wouldn't stand up to do the right thing for your staff and patients. And set an example.

Thank you @torontosunonline for sharing our initiative @maskingtogether in partnership with @uoftmedicine in doing more towards the PPE Shortage and COVID-19 research.

The first week and already an incredible amount of support towards the @maskingtogether challenge. We had two stories go live last night with the @nationalpost and @thetorontostar. We are getting our message heard and I cannot thank you all enough.
_
We truly are all in this together and we will continue our mission to obtain personal protective equipment (PPE) for health care workers, fund short-term accommodations for medical trainees who are frontline healthcare workers who may need to isolate from family or roommates, as well as furthering urgent research into the SARS-CoV-2 virus and COVID-19. ONE donation making a TRIPLE impact.

You can view both stories by visiting the link in my bio. You can also visit the Masking Together Challenge link in my bio to find out more and how you can activate your donation.

Proud to be a Founder of the @maskingtogether Challenge in partnership with @uoftmedicine. The Masking Together Challenge is based on ONE donation to make a TRIPLE impact where you will be helping workers, doctors and researchers.

As chief Volunteer together with my founding partner @xthetica Manny Kapur, we are on a mission to obtain personal protective equipment (PPE) for health care workers, fund short-
term accommodations for medical trainees who are frontline healthcare workers and may need to isolate from family or roommates, as well as furthering urgent research into the SARS-CoV-2 virus and COVID-19.

As health care practitioners, we know firsthand the critical impact we can make with support for PPE, short-term accommodations for trainees and research. We owe it to our peers on the front lines to do everything we can to help in this crisis. I get it. I was scared. We were all scared when SARS hit Toronto. This COVID-19 pandemic is far more challenging. We are at war to defeat this virus, locally and globally.

As we brace for ‘the next two weeks’ when we hit the apex of the pandemic in many parts of North America, our emotions will go up and down. More than ever, our mental health is of great importance too. Unfortunately, it has not been easy to get to sleep with all that has been going on.

Spring is in the air! The birds are chirping, the days are longer and if you're like millions of other people this also means sneezing and congestion - oh no! Spring allergies are here and some of these symptoms could have you in a panic wondering if it could be COVID-19.

In my recent blog (link in bio under 'Blog'), I discuss Spring Allergy Symptoms COMPARED TO COVID-19 Symptoms along with updates on COVID-19 treatments. Have a read and share with your friends and family!

I'm very aware of the personal risks that all my healthcare colleagues are experiencing even if they had all the #ppe they needed. I've been there during SARS and realizing that two doctors with a small child at home is dangerous. Here we are again with #covid19 and my emotions are running high though I'm no longer working in a hospital and on the #frontlines . I get their fear, especially being assigned only a few masks a day. Simply, that's not how it's supposed to be done.

Though we are not as dire as the US and resorting to scarves, PPEs are low in Canada. There is a #ppeshortage everywhere around the world that is in #covid19pandemic mode.

Today one of my MD colleagues got this email and forwarded it me. It's a petition to the Prime Minister urging him to help more. (see attached PDF). While I understand that somehow we need to find ways to scream for help, I've got another idea and plan to take action differently.

I'm starting a #MaskingTogetherChallenge to access #millionmasks for Canadian Healthcare institutions with the support of my patients. I'm finishing up the details. We can work together to #matchdonorstomasks.

Stay tuned. This week is the week to start the Challenge to all Canadians to help me out.

Innovation in gloves, masks and scarves for COVID-

Innovation in gloves, masks and scarves for COVID-19! You MUST wear them when going out, otherwise you are putting people at risk even if you think you're not. Be safe by covering your nose, mouth and hands. Please share, it could save a life!

We live in hibernation as a nation where social distancing has become the new norm. It has been an eventful week so far and the world has changed dramatically since I started these Bulletins on January 27th when the first case of Covid-19 was diagnosed in Toronto.
_
Read Bulletin #6 (Link in my bio under Blog 👆) where I discuss:
➡️ Update on treatment of Covid-19.
➡️ 3 tips on Social Distancing.

Coming soon, we will be creating Wellness Videos to support you as you hibernate. Sign up to get our Bulletins as we post on my site to stay current.

Last Call on Travel to Return Home. As we move into and out of March Break, our team has been replying to your individual situations. Each of you will need to make risk/benefit decisions that are correct for your family.
__
Certainly, the guidance from all public health departments here in Canada and in the US is to cease all “unnecessary travel.” If you are away now, Health officials in Canada (as of 3pm EST Sat March 14th) have now asked you to COME HOME as soon as possible.
__
Nevertheless, if you have travelled OUTSIDE OF CANADA, as of this Friday March 13th, you are required to undergo Self-Isolation. What does that mean?
__
Here’s what’s in Bulletin #5:
1. Why we want you home now? The Pandemic Model.
2. What is Self-Isolation? What you need to do when returning to Canada.
3. updates about Covid-19 and testing.
__
It’s a longer read but very important information for you, your family and friends. Do share as you wish - the link is in my bio under Blog! 👆

Last and certainly not least, trend 🔟 to complete my list of 2020 beauty & wellness trends is facial acupuncture!

#Truth: Costco stores are running out of paper towels, toilet paper, tissue paper and disinfecting wipes. No need to stock up on all of that paper, but Lysol spray and wipes, YES. The spray and wipes can be a reasonable substitute if you can’t find alcohol hand sanitizers.

It's time to GET scared and BE ready. Reality is setting that this is real and praying alone is not enough. The virus is likely spreading now in North America and hang on as testing begins in the USA (Yes, they are late to the party). It isn't all doom and gloom, there are still ways to take back some control.
