Whoa Villa Columbo Home for the Aged (13 residents + 40 sick staff, 34 total deaths)
Ps. I was warning this government that #Omicron was becoming an issue for #LTC back in early December. There were 7 outbreaks by Dec 07 but the rate of growth was clear. I continued to track it ⬆️ over the last 3 weeks. They should’ve listened and acted sooner.
⚠️41 #LTCs in outbreak⚠️
⚠️93 residents & 162 staff sick⚠️
These measures comes far too late and don’t go nearly far enough. My interview with @ConsumerSOS ⤵️

Correction 161 staff (though god knows what that # will be tomorrow).
FYI: There we’re only 7 #LTCs in outbreak on Dec 07 when I started raising 🚩‘s.
🧵 So we’re learning 41 #LTC homes are in outbreak & general visits are being halted. Essential caregivers STILL allowed in (good!). They’ve increased boosters among staff + residents BUT only meagrely & the figures are still too low! (84% residents & 43% of staff have boosters).
STILL NO MANDATE FOR N95 USE AT ALL TIMES (only when caring for covid+ residents) & STILL NO TALK OF AIR QUALITY UPGRADES OR SURGE STAFFING PLAN.
This plan focuses on 💉’s & still falls short. Why aren’t mobile clinics being sent to #LTCs to expedite boosters @RodPhillips01⁉️

Remember all the sleaze & shady goings on, including fraud, when #DougFord became PC party leader? It’s not just Ford. It’s an entire party of sleaze & those who stay quiet & enable/tacitly condone it in pursuit of power. #VoteThemAllOut2022 #ONpoli #cdnpoli
Then there was Team Ford’s use of trolls & other inauthentic behaviour online, including Jeff Ballingall’s malignant “Ontario Proud”, to smear opponents (esp Wynne) & manipulate the public, all amplified in both social & traditional media. #VoteThemAllOut2022 #ONpoli #cdnpoli
Then came the corruption, backroom deals & cuts right out of the gate. In addition to wealthy private interests dictating policy choices, including choices that led directly to suffering, cruelty & death (#LTCs, poverty etc). #VoteThemAllOut2022 #VoteFordOut2022 #ONpoli #cdnpoli
It took a global pandemic to expose the crisis in Canada’s #LTC homes. Here’s why it’s essential to remove profit from care. THREAD:

1. At 69%, Canada has had the highest number of #COVID deaths in long-term care among G7 countries.
2. Decades of underinvestment + privatization has broken Canada’s #LTC system, leading to higher costs, lower staff to residents ratio & fewer resources.
As you should. 15 months was WASTED under @DrFullertonMPP. We need change now (actually yesterday but I’ll accept now). #LTC
Let’s remember: We have MORE then enough evidence. We just need the political will to ACT on said evidence.
REQUIRED NOW:
1. 4hr min. care standard.
2. Permanent wage increases to be on par w/ acute care.
3. Reinstate RQIs (2 per year IMO)

4. Make #LTCs post their staffing data PUBLICLY.
5. End de-skilling which directly ⬆️ medical error & injury & lawsuits (throw Fullerton’s RSA category in the 🗑 where it belongs).
6. End draconian scheduling & visitation limits for FULLY IMMUNIZED family/friends & residents.

1. #LTC was always going to be where the disaster unfolds. @OntariosDoctors told u in the 1st wave, & everyone in the world knew it in this one. 1/

2. Relying on hospitals to "save the day" wrt IPAC, staffing & resources is an impossible task if in a hot zone, when also trying to continue to provide acute & chronic care services. We already knew that #onhealth added 80+ wks to wait lists just from 1st few mos of lockdown 2/
