Obviously, we have to address the testing issue. We have to address the infection and the adequacy of PPE. That's just fundamental, and it's not addressed everywhere. We have to continue to hammer away at the staffing issues because we're going to be.... We have outbreaks right across this country right now. The death tolls and the toll of suffering are not restricted to Ontario and Quebec right now. They're right across from border to border.
The one thing I think we have failed quite significantly at is that we haven't understood that public health measures affect long-term care. Long-term care doesn't sit in a bubble hidden away in some mountain range. If people aren't complying with public health measures, it will ultimately affect the positivity rate in long-term care, and it will ultimately result in deaths and untold suffering. We have to try to understand and help the public understand that we must enforce public health measures because the people in the long-term care setting have no ability to protect themselves beyond what we do for them. That would be, I think, a key issue that we have to address.
We also have to address loneliness. We talk about people dying alone as if it's just a sad thing that happens. It's a catastrophic event. Loneliness and isolation kill people before they ever get to the very end of life. We have to manage visiting in as a safe a way as we can and not shut it down entirely like we did before.
