1/Shocked by an interview with the wonderful
@sarahr1979, chiropodist of Ontario, another
@DailyClout Profile in Courage. Elderly patients are suffering wounds, infections, worse as telemedicine leaves them without proper care because of Covid. Retirement home residents locked

2/ in their rooms for 14 days if they chose to go to a grocery store or see a doctor. People forbidden to see anyone outside of their households in their homes. Elderly in isolation losing mental acuity, depressed...families leaving groceries on the porch for elderly loved ones..

3/ Robinson, like the equally wonderful @DrPatrickPhillips, explains: telemedicine is no substitute for hands on care: some of her patients can't see or feel their feet. She has heard of lacerations when podiatrists try to instruct patients to remove a hangnail via telemedicine

4/ She adds detail to reports we hear worldwide of elderly or sick people dying at home, conditions getting worse, because of national policy that subsumes all to COVID. She discusses how HEPA filters and UV light create a safe environment for patients -- why isn't this in use

5/everywhere? And makes a powerful case that one size does NOT fit all, and that people are experts in their own health and their own needs when given good information not forced into "lockdown." She makes a mature point about risk: nothing is 100 per cent "safe" even if you lock

6/ people in homes forever, not all of us will make it out of any pandemic but locking people in isolation does not solve the problem of a virus, and the cure when we emerge will become worse than the problem that drove us into isolation.Another hero for the heroes' gallery.
