I'm a life-long severe asthmatic from Nova Scotia and one of your most at-risk citizens. I live with my Dad who, while still quite spry at 81, is also vulnerable due to his age. We’ve been socially isolating for some weeks now—before it became cool. I expect I’ll have to self-isolate much longer than most. Clearly no longer cool.

The crisis is at our doorstep. COVID-19 has been declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. Panic is rampant. Toilet paper is the new currency. The movies were right.

Governments across Canada have recently been under pressure to cover new and VERY expensive treatments for cystic fibrosis.

Well, suck it up buttercups...
