Today I have a TRUE TALE to tell. This morning I received a call from a patient of mine who is a friend/highly respected doctor. He’s in a bit of a PICKLE and encouraged me to tell this cautionary tale to help others understand the insidious nature of #Covid_19. 1/19

We are at a critical point in our response to COVID-19. British Columbians are making a difference. What we are doing today is working – but we are not out of danger yet. We must keep it up. Every person in BC needs to work together to prevent the spread of COVID-19. #COVIDBC

Something amazing just happened, and it didn’t make a single headline. It happened in a place you’ve probably never been, to a family you’ve never met And it's the best story you'll read. A Thread. (Hint: It involves sports, refugees, and what it means to be Canadian.)

As cool as it is to learn your Uber driver is also a Coast Guard Rear Admiral, we REALLY need to end this government shutdown.

The thing I love about reality is that it's 3D, real-time, and immersive, plus it's got great surround-sound. #MondayMorning
