A Canadian spin studio followed public health guidelines. But 61 people still caught the covid-19.

Now, despite appearing to have complied with public health regulations, at least 61 people linked to the studio have tested positive for the novel coronavirus.

“They had done all sorts of things to remove the potential for spread,” Richardson told reporters. “Unfortunately, gyms are a higher-risk place because of the fact that generally people are taking off their masks, they’re breathing at a higher rate.”

Although Hamilton requires masks to be worn in most public settings, the law includes an exemption for anyone “actively engaged in an athletic or fitness activity.” In keeping with that policy, the studio, SPINCO, allowed riders to remove their masks once clipped into their bikes, and told them to cover up again before dismounting.

In a recent Instagram post, SPINCO’s owners said that they had been “hesitant” to reopen after getting the green light in July, and would not resume classes “until it is safe

Nurse fired after video shows Canadian hospital staff mocking Indigenous patient

| Health News

A nurse at a Quebec hospital has been fired after a dying Indigenous woman streamed hospital staff mocking her.

The patient, Joyce Echaquan, recorded the footage Monday on Facebook Live while she was at Centre Hospitalier Régional de Lanaudière in Joliette for stomach pains.

In the video, reviewed by NBC News, Echaquan makes noises of extreme discomfort from her hospital bed. Hospital staff can be heard calling her “stupid as hell” in French while one nurse says Echaquan, a mother of seven, is “good at having sex, more than anything else.” Echaquan, 37, died later that day.

The local public health department said it “finds the comments heard in the video circulated on social media unacceptable” and “does not tolerate any such language on the part of its staff within the organization.”

“The investigation is underway, and a nurse has been fired,” the department said, according to NBC News.

Saskatchewan becomes second Canadian province to call mid-pandemic election for October

September 29, 2020

| Health News

TORONTO (Reuters) – The Canadian province of Saskatchewan on Tuesday called an election for next month, the second to do so even as Canada’s novel coronavirus infections are increasing.

Saskatchewan, whose economy depends on farming and mining, has been ruled for 13 years by the right-leaning Saskatchewan Party, which is led by Premier Scott Moe.

The Saskatchewan Party holds 46 of the legislature’s 61 seats, followed by the New Democrats’ 13 seats. Two are vacant.

“What we have here is a situation where government parties felt they could capitalize on the support they got as a result of the way they managed COVID,” said University of Saskatchewan professor of political studies Joe Garcea.

He was referring to October election calls in both Saskatchewan and British Columbia, on Oct. 26 and Oct. 24 respectively. Voting will be in person and by mail.

Saskatchewan has among the lowest numbers of COVID-19 cases

Monday, September 28, 2020

As previously covered on this blog, in mid-2019 the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) jointly published the Safe Importation Action Plan, which outlined the Trump Administration’s two-part plan to allow foreign prescription drugs to be imported into the United States in an effort to reduce drug prices (see here). Then in December 2019 they proposed two different pathways, the first called the “Section 804 Importation Program,” which is being implemented via notice-and-comment rulemaking, and the second called the “MMA Products Program” being implemented via an FDA guidance document. Our December 2019 blog post with a detailed explanation of the Section 804 proposed rule and draft FDA guidance document is available here.

Since those proposals were released and public comments for each solicited, the country and the world have changed drastically as a result of the ongoing
