Divided across Canada's 1200 hospitals, that's a normal (pre-covid) rate of 140 deaths per hospital in an ordinary year.
And we're meant to believe she's having a nervous breakdown over an extra ten deaths in a year, where she's used to seeing 140. A 7% increase.
What a bullshit artist. And the CBC are fake news for running this. They know damn well the increase in deaths from a hospital nurses' point of view is imperceptible unless they actually sit down and tabulate the death count and compare it to previous years.
This is all such utter bullshit. At its absolute worst, this pandemic is a marginal threat. Idiots like this nurse and the CBC amplifying them are why a marginal threat has turned into a full blown panic.
Let's see:
Now, Canada wide, there were 167,464 hospital deaths in 2019.

Here's what a 7% increase looks like on a bar graph.
I don't buy for one second that a nurse could even notice that change, let alone get PTSD from it.
Oh not to mention you can subtract from those extra ten deaths the six she didn't see from the flu this year because the flu didn't happen..

To expand on this, there have been 6166 hospitalized cases to date.

6166 / 1539 = ~4.006
Let's round that up to 10
So 10 extra hospitalized patients per hospital to date is enough to "stress out" these workers?
Yeah they're just being drama queens for fake internet points.
