Staff shortages for nurses care givers and teachers
How many years before have the hospitals been short staffed? If a flu can overwhelm a hospital, what do you think a pandemic will do?
Hospitals have been overwhelmed for years. This is nothing new. If anything the issue is finally getting some attention, but for the wrong reasons. In 2008 I crushed a couple fingers and was treated in the hallway due to no available bed.
We’ll find out when a real pandemic surfaces.
Years and years of neglect ..and not because of covid!
Corruption runs deep in all of our institutions
Absolutely agree, working in hospital for many years
Classification of the patients is the problem, broken leg isn’t a covid hospitalization.
Weird. I had assumed that they wouldn’t count a bed as available unless it had a room, equipment, and staff.
Just hold on for a couple weeks” sounds vaguely familiar…
Two weeks to flatten the curve turned into two years very quickly 🤡
He said that correct!! 3 doses .
These doctors lost credit ….
It is in the interest of mass hypnosis and general anxiety that you remain confused by the stats, numbers, definitions and other medical and scientific terminologies.
O yes many staff have Covid, sick,positive even though they are poked 2,3 times
70% for herd immunity
Ontario has had hospital issues way before Covid. Does no one remember during Peovincial elections this was a big topic?
Omicron the cold like virus. Ok
How transmissible compared to the common cold? Mhm
Why is half your staff at home getting paid.
Because you are an unacceptable anti vax clown?
@Punk Rachmaninoff you remind me of lemongrab
I’m old enough to remember when they were reporting on over capacity in 2015. The doctors were saying they were using hallways as triage.; operating at 110%. Any one who can fog up a mirror knows this
Hey! Maybe firing a large group of HIGHLY TRAINED and SUPER EXPERIENCED staff will help?
Hospitals are not screwed up because of covid-19 are ways were and always will be
Is there a more unlikeable character in Canada then this Evan Solomon character!
.
rehire the fired Healthcare heros
