Per this point
"Revera said 97% of its residents’ infections during the first wave of COVID-19 were linked to the period before April 13, because gov'ts did not recommend masks for LTC workers until early April & reserved masks & other protective equip. for hospitals"

So I see you're going for the low hanging fruit of blaming the government. This may hold merit had the sector not been warned since JANUARY that this was coming and to prepare via added staffing + PPE.
P.S Many Municipal/NP homes did.
(LTC Commissioners second report
).

Most troubling is this tidbit from the "Perfect Storm" report where you all recommend the use of gendered & racialized immigrant workforces instead of providing domestic workers fair wages and livable working conditions.

P.S I studied this in my PhD. I know ALL about the (ab)use of migrant female workforces as a neoliberal strategy to legislate worker vulnerability and I find it ABHORRENT that this was even put into writing.

RE: The concerted effort between @Revera_Inc & @OLTCAnews to change the media outlook on the PSW profession.
Let me save you some time and money folks:

I see @Revera_Inc is also putting money into a "paid media campaign to increase confidence in congregate living".
@drbobbell: You declared not being paid to prepare this report but are you being paid for your recent @Revera_Inc advocacy per this funded media campaign
