Has the Pandemic substantially impacted your life as a current or former cancer patient? Please post your stories; heartbreaking, frustrating, even uplifting.
If you post anything about treatments, cures, vaccinations, hospitalizations or deaths, please back it up with research from accepted, credible sources. Your Uncle's neighbor's third wife who posted a crazy conspiracy theory on Facebook is not a credible source.
Angry, passionate, sad are all acceptable, disrespectful is not.

Great opinion piece in the Globe and Mail this morning (I would post a link but you need to have an account to view). Doctor in the small community of Nelson describing what itβs like dealing with the Covid situation. He describes becoming increasingly exhausted and demoralized as his community has one of the lowest vaccination rates in the province and opposition to the vaccine passport program is vocal and strident. Their ICU is overcapacity, filled almost entirely with unvaccinated patients. In one day he had to tell a young unvaccinated patient with worsening symptoms that he canβt get her into the ICU, tell an aneurysm patient that her surgery is indefinitely postponed, again cancel an appointment with a stroke victim who wants to discuss MAID and listen to a staff member at his clinic being verbally abused by someone who doesnβt like the mask policy.
Itβs a heartbreaking piece. Would be nice if it would spur the vaccine hesitant to follow science and get their shots!

QC has about 73% of its total population fully vaccinated. I think they may be giving boosters to seniors. Rt is 1.03. The vaccinations and other measures are working to keep the current wave from getting out of control, but we're not out of the woods. The hospitalized patients are younger and stay longer in ICU (rather than die). Alberta asking other provinces for help while their residents are rejecting safety measures is infuriating.

DD who lives downtown took these the other day. I have not had a chance to walk this, but when I drove by the sight of so many flags took my breath away and I found myself crying.
May they Rest In Peace.

kathindc - The losses are heartbreaking.
The flags are a clean representation of loss, but there are people still in denial of the pandemic.

It is sad that there are still so many in denial, even on their death beds. SM
