@DrJessieAllan Rule number one in family medicine: if a child has a stuffy clutched to their chest, you have to look into the stuffyโ€™s ears with the otoscope (the ear looker) and listen to its heart with the stethoscope before any actual physical exam.

Today, @jkenney said that low demand among eligible #ymm residents was the reason for low vaccine uptake. I just confirmed that the soonest appointment for an AHS 2B vaccination in Fort McMurray is May 10th, or 14 days from now. Is Kenney gaslighting or just ignorant? Discuss.

I was thinking earlier today, if I was @jkenney or @shandro , taking heat for rising Covid-19 numbers, what would I do? The most obvious solution I came up with was: stop measuring numbers. Stop offering testing. You can't diagnose a fever if you don't measure a temperature.
