If you, like GunsnCrutches, didn't have time to read the article here are some high points:
Three doctors, a hospital communications official, and Alberta Health Services all spoke about the fact that some hospitals in Alberta were swamped.
Dr. Daisy Fung, Dr. Ilan Schwartz, Dr. Miriam Berchuk,
Kerry Williamson, Alberta Health Services
Here are a couple of quotes.
"As of Sunday, another seven COVID-19 patients were admitted to Alberta ICUs, bringing the total to 95, well above the government’s benchmark of 70 ICU beds"
"From March and June, surgeries fell 47 per cent compared to 2019, meaning a total of 335,000 procedures never took place. Life-saving and urgent surgeries (pacemaker insertions, cancer surgeries, fractures, heart bypasses) dropped 17 and 21 per cent, respectively"
I don't think there's much point in listening to anything GunsnCrutches has to say unless they get out of their own head and join us here in the real world.
