A woman gets her breast cancer diagnosis without her husband. Every week she goes to chemo alone.

A woman goes to ultrasound without her partner. She finds out there is no heartbeat alone. He finds out over the phone the baby has died.

Bars are open.

Covid in Ontario.

I know the people above. I know more examples of people going to appointments alone. Appointments they should have a support person at. But they can’t. It’s not safe.

But bars are open.

If it’s not safe enough for support persons in the hospital (who must be screened for symptoms and wear a mask)

it should not be safe enough for bars to be open (with no screening and no mask wearing).

Found out a family member was in emerg - is fine. Beside was a patient presenting for new paralysis. They Eventually doctor goes into patient’s bay & says cause of paralysis is a brain tumour and patient has X months to live. Doctor walks away, patient starts bawling.
