Summarization
LisaBarrettID has received criticism questioning her role in public health, predominantly regarding her reliance on personal risks to reduce coronavirus spread and her failure to address schools. Others have argued that masks and improved air quality must be put in place to reduce coronavirus transmission, and that individuals do not have access to the necessary information to assess their own risk. Additionally, attention has been drawn to the fact that young and vulnerable people are dependent on adults to protect them as they cannot make decisions regarding their own risk.
Topic Modeling
- Public Health Initiatives
- Risk Assessment
- Covid-19 and its Effects on Society
- Vulnerability of Certain Groups
- Structural Barriers to Good Health
Emotional Analysis
The emotions expressed in these tweets are largely frustration, disappointment, and anger. Many of the tweets express dissatisfaction with the lack of public health measures being taken to protect vulnerable people, such as those with intellectual disabilities or medical conditions, and the idea of personal responsibility being put on individuals to protect themselves. There is also a sense of sadness and concern for those who cannot protect themselves from the risks of Covid-19, such as young children. Finally, there is a sense of hope that policy and engineering solutions will be put in place to protect people from the virus.
Trend Analysis
- Public health and personal risk management- how can intellectually disabled kids manage their risk, schools, and public health responsibility
- Vascular effects of Covid-19- Covid is a vascular disease not just respiratory
- Mask mandates- masks should be worn in all indoor spaces and a RT for #TellTimTuesday
- Access to early treatment- what percentage of reported infections are offered early treatment
- Improved air quality- frequent air exchange and filtration for safe indoor venues

1628034761074659329 | Hey @LisaBarrettID - you've suggested that Nova Scotians should take "personal responsibility" to reduce their Covid risk. So perhaps you can throw us a RT for #TellTimTuesday - we're asking @TimHoustonNS to give us access to the tools we need to reduce transmission. https://t.co/fwtbgNYvGn | 12 |
1625338017798840322 | @LisaBarrettID I appreciate what you’re trying to do here, but we need to stop pretending anything can be accomplished while continuing to frame things as personal risk. Public health needs to start functioning again. | 10 |
1624598236504768513 | Fun evening for a great cause tonight. #FeelingTheLove for @HospiceHalifax at @hfxconventions. A great city to live in, should be a great city to die in as well. @LisaBarrettID @brandguy https://t.co/ohJk78KobV | 8 |
1625349503992877058 | @LisaBarrettID Tell the public that Covid affects people’s hearts; that Covid is a vascular disease. Also, leaving this to “personal risk” in a pandemic is abdication of public health duty and responsibility. Very disappointing. Do better! https://t.co/BgJw3HSOXX | 7 |
1625904177204305920 | @LisaBarrettID How can an Infectious Disease DOCTOR, in the midst of a global pandemic, not even mention masks in a long tweet ostensibly meant to be 'helpful'? | 5 |
1625469989359591425 | @LisaBarrettID Living in a low risk world shuts out a lot of people. If a social life is health generally, this approach will kill marginalized, cautious ppl fast. I appreciate what you’re saying, but we have to be honest that infections/reinfections are risky EVEN for young vaxxed people. https://t.co/lvcCnoRqTf | 5 |
1625338979246538752 | @LisaBarrettID “Not everyone has that choice”. Everyone should have that choice. We need to remove structural barriers to good health. And acknowledge Covid is not a respiratory illness. https://t.co/JYTlDvhREz | 4 |
1625468739717038083 | @LisaBarrettID Q: How can an intellectually disabled kid - ventilated for several respiratory diseases in her young life - manage risk when others, not even adults, around her refuse to mask? A: she can't & therefore is excluded from society. It's not "imperfect" -it's immoral and devastating. | 4 |
1625480591188664322 | @LisaBarrettID There you have it people… those words again: personal risks. How can we assess our risk when the Govn isn’t being transparent! Many older people rely on the news for updates. It shouldn’t be personal, we are still in a pandemic. https://t.co/kKnM4dnUEz | 4 |
1626242078530478082 | @PoP_NovaScotia Sorry to see this happening all across Canada. PH is abysmal. So disingenuous and horrible of @LisaBarrettID to post info that only benefits the privileged. She’s really done a 180. Sadly, it’s Nova Scotians and Canadians who suffer, not these entitled PH hacks and Govt shills… | 3 |

1625992163736649728 | @LisaBarrettID What percentage of the reported infections are offered early treatment? We've heard from many Nova Scotians, including those over 60, who were told they didn't meet the requirements. | 44 |

1625985110737670144 | @vera_tenacious @LisaBarrettID @CPHO_Canada Was it reasonable to allow postponement of my (vulnerable) kid's 2 yr overdue echo/EKG when IWK clinic staff refused to don N95s (provided by me)? Kid can't mask & clinic is close quarters for 2h+. I felt this an appropriate request 4 a kid w/ CHD/epilepsy/t21? Am I wrong/nuts?? | 40 |
1625904177204305920 | @LisaBarrettID How can an Infectious Disease DOCTOR, in the midst of a global pandemic, not even mention masks in a long tweet ostensibly meant to be 'helpful'? | 40 |
1625474796505948163 | @LisaBarrettID "Personal risk" is an abdication of public health & most people do not do risk assessment correctly. We don't have the data & most ppl do not know they're vulnerable. This is NOT only a respiratory virus. It's airborne. It transmits pre- & asymptomatically. Mask mandates NOW. | 35 |
