Scott Thompson Show

Scott gets an epidemiologist's reaction to the press conference that was held today by Dr. Kieran Moore, Ontario’s Chief Medical Officer of Health. We take a broad look across Ontario to see how small businesses have been faring as the Omicron variant continues to ravage the world. How are Ontario’s pharmacists coping with the newest surge in the pandemic? How can we handle Omicron stress, family anxiety, and possibly a peculiarly festive form of cabin fever? And what kind of political backlash are we seeing from this pandemic? Guests: Dr. Timothy Sly, Epidemiologist and Professor Emeritus in the School of Population and Public Health with Ryerson University Ryan Mallough, Senior Director of Provincial Affairs for Ontario, with the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) Justin Bates, CEO of the Ontario Pharmacist Association Dr. Diana Brecher, Clinical Psychologist with the Centre for Student Development and Counselling, Student Wellbeing Department; Adjunct Faculty, MBA, Associate Member Yea
