How many of these patients do not have COVID-19 or any variant thereof? How many are elderly and/or have pre-existing health problems? How many are in intensive care units for other reasons? How many people are turned away or are warned not to go to hospitals because of the coronavirus, which then leads to health problems getting worse?
Weren't we supposed to have flattened the curve with hand sanitisers, masks, shutting down businesses and not getting our hair cut?:
There are about 2,200 critical care beds in Ontario right now, with a couple hundred more to be added shortly, Simpson said. Wednesday, the province reported an all-time high of 790 patients in ICUs and 566 patients on ventilators.
But, the problem is that not all ICU patients have COVID-19 — accidents, heart attacks and other critical-care issues still need to be addressed in hospitals. Last week, the province cancelled elective and non-urgent surgeries to release pressure from Ontario hospitals, allowing them to reroute resources to critical care. Simpson said this was a dire example of the state of Ontario in its third wave.
“I see the system has been in crisis since the day that we decided we had to ramp down surgeries and procedures. I mean, that is a not normal situation,” Simpsons said.
I'll just leave these right here:
It’s worth noting that what we’ve been saying about data manipulation and false narratives is very true. #FiretheOntarioScienceTable https://t.co/2SgnQMWflv
