More than a year after COVID-19 emerged, few therapies exist and many that do are expensive, cumbersome and unproven, say experts who blame disjointed data, funding and communication as factors derailing efforts to tamp down disease. While warp speed efforts to develop vaccines have produced several promising options in mere months, thereâs been comparatively little push for treatment tools to cut severe cases and deaths that are crippling health-care systems, says COVID-19 researcher Dr. Feld.

Health and Seniors Care Minister Heather Stefanson has announced that the Manitoba government will implement all 17 recommendations outlined in the external review of Maples Long Term Care Home.
“I want to extend my deepest sympathies to the residents, family members of residents and the staff at Maples Long Term Care Home for the terrible COVID-19 outbreak at the site that led to so many illnesses and deaths,” said Stefanson. “While work has already begun on many of the recommendations at the site and regional level, the review makes it clear there is more work to be done to prevent these same issues from occurring at other sites. We are committed to implementing the recommendations in the review and have asked my department to establish an implementation team and have a plan in place within 30 days.”
An external review into the deadly COVID-19 outbreak at Winnipeg's Maples Long Term Care Home highlights issues within senior care and presents an opportunity to fix them, experts say.

His niece had lost her first baby two years ago after a miscarriage, he said, adding he believes the family was not offered counselling services after the stillbirth.
“They left my niece and my sister in the hospital room alone, where my niece tried to restart the baby’s heart and give it CPR,” he said. “They refused to do anything for that child and nothing was explained to them. There’s been not one excuse from the doctors on why this has happened.”
