We can over react or under react but either way it is what it is. Nothing much can be done about it other than what governments have been doing with shutdowns to slow the spread so everyone isn't in icu's at same time.
All the whining and constant scare mongering by the media and Andrea Horvath amounts to a pile of shit. Unless you're a hermit, you will likely get this sooner or later. Get vaccinated, wear a mask, be careful and hope for the best.
It' not like we are being asked to storm the beach on D day for fuck's sake it's just a virus. We will get thru it whole. Some people die but people die all the time. I think it's time we put things in perspective while respecting it.

Hospital bed are futile when there is no staff to handle the patient.Really. How many hospital beds are there in Canada per 1000? The French number(from France) is DOUBLE that of Canada. Germany has THREE times the number. Our ICU capacity is 25% of what you'll find in. And only about 15% of the average EU standard. Furthermore, our ICUs run at over 90% occupancy and during the flu and cold season over 100%. Hence, the hallway medicine. We are sacrificing our people and the economy to protect the rotten system that cannot handle extra 1500 cases in a province of over 15.5 million.
Unvaccinated people are 9% of the 12+ population yet are 26% of the hospitalized and 52% of ICU cases.
Good news from Windsor.
“Right now, there are 44 people at Windsor Regional Hospital with COVID-19 and 37 of them are being treated primarily for the disease. Six of those people are in the ICU, all being primarily treated for COVID-19. Five of them are unvaccinated and one is partially vaccinated.”

Canada ranks last on number of hospital beds, wait times
Despite high spending on health care, Canada has a short supply of doctors and hospital beds, and the longest wait times according to the Fraser Institute.hospitalnews.com
The system is fucked and needs an overhaul and instead of even looking into that, our government looks the other way
Our system is a monopoly, therefore not based on the outcome, but on the amount of funding that goes into it. In other words, we pay Cadillac prices for a Chevy.
And why should any of these issues be the responsibility of my 11 year old to manage. Poor kid have been locked up for a month. No hockey, no school or interaction with friends. and his mental health is taking a hit.
It’s March 2022 and Canada completely messed up with their Covid strategy this time.
Other countries are waking up and starting to realized this is now an endemic and needs to be managed as one.

Very little restrictions Shack, England are now being advised to treat this an an endemic. Scotland and Wales locked down to play a game on Boris. He didn’t fall for it.
Seems like they have found an effective strategy to up the vax rate - just require proof of vaccination for liquor stores and pot shops...
Lets break this down a little:
Nadhim Zahawi: UK should lead move from pandemic to endemic Covid | Coronavirus | The Guardian
Minister says cutting isolation to five days would be helpful, but dismisses report that free tests are to end
amp.theguardian.com
A senior cabinet minister has called for the UK to show the rest of the world how to move from “pandemic to endemic” Covid, as he suggested it would be helpful to cut the isolation period to five days to ease workforce shortages.
NOTE: Nadhim Zahawi is the UK Secretary of Education. This is like Stephen Lecce announcing the end of the pandemic in Canada.
But sure. Boris Johnson is definitely leading the pack in downplaying the current strain of the current wave, days after calling in the military to help stem hospital staff shortages.
NHS in England hit by highest Covid absences since vaccine rollout
Average of 35,596 staff were sick with coronavirus in past week, figures show, a level last seen a year ago

Yes, I also remember how smug some were in the fall when the government brought in mandates that would lead to termination of the unvaxed first responders and hospital staff. Today, our hospitals are not too proud to put infected staff on the floor. I'm a nice guy, so I'll leave it at that.
It may work somewhat but you can order pot through the mail and have liquor/wine/beer delivered.
