But this article isn’t about “cases”...
From the excerpt: “In Ontario, intensive-care units are becoming overwhelmed. They’re treating more than twice as many COVID-19 patients as during last spring’s first wave peak, and 50 per cent more than at the top of January’s bigger second wave.”
Of course, it doesn’t say how many are in ICU, how many are dying vs getting better, ICU capacity utilization, time in ICU today vs a year ago, etc. Just that ICUs are “overwhelmed.”
I thought that for emergency care, Canadians mostly drove to the U.S., this being a natural consequence of a socialized, single payer system. Does this not work for COVID?
