Are we going to find out these are all commercial “must work efficiently and save on labour and cleaning products for profits’ sake” kind of daycares? It’s a bit presumptuous but trending is hard to ignore. As soon as we put user-fees to pay profits on human services, we take on risks around cruelty and safety.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Emergency departments at Calgary hospitals have been flooded with children following an infectious disease outbreak at daycares across the city.

“A lot of these kids, unfortunately, have to be admitted for 24 hours,” said Dr.  Arun Abbi, president of Emergency medicine with Alberta Medical Association, told CBC News in an interview.

All of the sites linked to the central kitchen where the outbreak came from have been issued a closure order until the situation is resolved.

Katie Mclean, whose daughter goes to the McKnight location of Fuelling Brains, said she started noticing symptoms late last week.

Symptoms include nausea or vomiting, diarrhea, stomach cramps or pain, bloating or gas, loss of appetite, fever or fatigue.

But Dr. Stephen Freedman, a professor of pediatrics and emergency medicine at the University of Calgary, says that what AHS is seeing in this outbreak — shiga-toxin positive e.coli — can lead to more serious issues.
