And the last I have (for now ๐
) are the Donate A Mask - Canada who have been offering high quality masks for purchase (while providing to those in need).
And the brilliant Dalia Hasan whoโs behind #FreeTheRATs & #BringBackMasks , as well as a ton of patient advocacy โฅ๏ธ
Both post
The obstacles to adequate pub edu and mitigations are bigโฆbut the more noise we make, the more people/media will hear about it (itโs happened beforeโฆremember #FreeTheRATs ?).
Word-of-mouth, the odd interview - might make someone aware or think twice about their actions. ๐ค๐ป๐ค๐ป
Toronto Public Health has not had available free rapid antigen tests since March 2, 2024. Bhutila Karpoche & I wrote Ontario's Health Minister asking when our communities will have limited access to free tests restored. kristynwongtam.ca/free_the_rats_โฆ #ONpoli #FreeTheRATs
Iโm not even sure why they were stopped for free distribution via drugs stores. Covid never went away ๐ค #FreeTheRats
The SDMs I've tried lately are all out of rapid tests. I wonder what happened to the 'ramping up'? Ontario Ministry of Health Doug Ford with so much COVID in Ontario right now, people need you to #FreeTheRATs .
It really shouldn't be this hard for Ontarians to help protect one another #onpoli
In December, we learned that the BTNX tests the federal government bought may not actually work as well as claimed. Given that #CovidIsNotOver , how is our government working to ensure provision of high-quality rapid tests to Canadians? #FreeTheRATs
