1/5 Yesterday afternoon ~120 physicians from @QCHOttawa attended a virtual meeting where a very smart ID physician explained that we might be reaching the peak of this pandemic. We are hearing rumours that there is a light at the end of this dark tunnel.
2/5 But, and this is a big but, any success in rounding this corner depends on maintaining the physical distancing measures that have been advised by our leaders in public health and government.
3/5 There are significant concerns that because people are getting antsy, efforts might let up. They can't. This is going to be hard. Really hard. As the weather warms up and our Canadian bodies shake of the chill of Winter, we will want to be with friends, neighbours and family.
4/5 We will want to go to the park, "just for a minute". Drive out to the country or a neighbouring small town, "just for a change of scenery".
5/5 Please, stay the course. Remember, the life of you or someone you love will depend on it. If not for any other reason, for my sake and the sake of our team, please keep your stick on the ice.
