È il primo del suo genere in provincia, dedicata alla cura dei pazienti ambulatoriali con il Covid-19 che sono a maggior rischio di malattie gravi, complicanze e ricoveri.

TORONTO – Il braccio di ferro tra gli ottici dell’Ontario e il governo provinciale continua senza alcun accordo all’orizzonte. Dal 1 ° settembre, quasi il 95% dei 2.500 optometristi della provincia hanno smesso di effettuare esami oculistici di routine assicurati dall’OHIP per le persone di età inferiore ai 20 anni, agli anziani di oltre 65 anni e alle persone con disabilità… Read More in Corriere Canadese >>>
The stand-off between Ontario’s optometrists and the provincial government continues with no end in sight. Since September 1, nearly 95% of the province’s 2,500 optometrists have stopped performing OHIP-funded services for people under the age of 20, seniors aged 65 and over and individuals on disability.
Earlier this month, the Ontario government offered a one-time payment of $39 million to indicate a “starting point” in support of optometrists and to further discussions along. A spokesperson from the Ministry of Health (MOH) told the Corriere that, “payments will flow to optometrists across Ontario on October 15”.

TORONTO – In 2018, 835,175 Ontarians were recorded as “multiple property owners” by Statistics Canada. In July 2020, we were just getting over the First Wave and CTV was reporting: “Cottage real estate market heats up with more Canadians working remotely”.

Online or face-to-face lessons, protocols – still unclear – to follow, vaccinations, a wave of Covid, the fourth, which generates anxiety and now also the problem of federal elections. (more…)
TORONTO – Due to the increased transmissibility of the Delta B.1.617.2 variant, now dominant in Ontario and much of the world, the percentage of the population that needs to be vaccinated to reach a point where the long-term spread of the virus slows down, now exceeds the number of people medically entitled to vaccination. “The critical threshold for vaccination should be at least 90% of the Ontario population and more than 100% of the vaccine-eligible population,” says Public Health Ontario.

(Ticinonline / Francesco Bertolucci) È riuscita a controllare questo disagio e ha poi iniziato ad aiutare chi aveva il suo stesso problema. «All’inizio era come avere due vite: c’era una Cristina pre-coma e una dopo. Iniziai a sentire le voci dopo essere andata in coma, a 19 anni, a causa di un problema durante una operazione. Voci che appartenevano alla vita di qualcuno, vivo o morto che fosse. Uno dei miei primi pensieri fu che dovevo capire perché. Dopo aver cercato aiuto in Italia, lo trovai in Galles. Nel giro di tre anni sono riuscita a rispondere alle mie domande. Poi ho iniziato ad aiutare gli altri».

Just three weeks remain until Ontario Optometrists withdraw services to OHIP-insured patients. With the September 1 date closing in, the Ford government makes a move to avoid any disruption to eye care services that people depend on.
Time is running out for eye care patients in Ontario. As of September 1, most of Ontario’s optometrists will stop providing services to seniors, adults and children covered by OHIP.
In March, an overwhelming 96% of Ontario optometrists voted to withdraw eye care services to patients covered under the Provincial health care plan. The action by the Ontario Association of Optometrists (OAO) stems from more than three decades of underfunding by the Ontario government. (more…)
Bago mag pandemya, may nakausap akong kaibigan na nagtatrabaho sa Eaton Centre. Pagka ang shift niya ay bago magsara ang tindahan na pinapasukan niya, nakakatagpo siya paglabas niya sa mall ng mga tao kakaiba ang kilos, na alam niya na may ininom o ininiksiyon sa katawan. Sabi niya, hindi siya nagaalala sa mga taong nakatira sa kalye. Ang inaalala niya ay mga “druggies” dahil nangmomolestiya sa mga hindi kakilala at sa pamamaraang hindi kanaisnais. (more…)

Perché il mio interlocutore, il Professor Fabio De Luca (nella foto), è un luminare della cardioangiochirurgia, e ancora di più, è… Read More in Fatti Nostri >>>

TORONTO – Freedom Day in England, with the elimination of almost all anti-Covid restrictions. But at what price? Britain becomes, at a time when the whole world still has to deal with the pandemic, an immense laboratory in which the government led by Prime Minister Boris Johnson has decided to carry out a dangerous social-health experiment. At first sight, this is a political breakthrough that is difficult to understand. (more…)
In the race to vaccinate the masses against Covid-19 and bring an end to the pandemic, a troubling concern emerges. Millions of children are falling behind on routine childhood vaccinations.
Covid-19 has disrupted several aspects of our lives, from social to economic and most significantly our health. The World Health Organization (WHO) reveals some alarming data following previous warnings that the pandemic would negatively impact basic vaccinations among children.
“The best things in life are free”, or so the saying goes. Sounds appropriate if the best chance at seeing an end to the Covid-19 pandemic is through vaccination. Who wouldn’t jump at the chance for life to return to normal? The fact that Covid-19 vaccines are free for anyone wanting added protection against a potentially lethal virus should be incentive enough.

TORONTO – Anthony Rota challenges Justin Trudeau. The battleground is the controversial story surrounding the dismissal of two virologists of Chinese origin from the National Microbiology Laboratory, a maximum-security laboratory in Winnipeg where lethal viruses such as Ebola are studied. This tug-of-war, which has been developing for several weeks, has gone a little undertrack but is likely to lead to a serious institutional crisis between the legislative and executive powers here in Canada in the near future.

TORONTO – The immunization campaign against Covid-19 continues. Despite the doubts and skepticism about heterologous vaccination – that is, mixing vaccines between the first and the second dose – caused by the failure of a supply of Pfizer to arrive in time, the roadmap desired by the Ontario Government with which it will be possible to enter phase 2 on June 30, two days earlier than planned, has been fully respected in the province.
