YOU DON'T GET 99% SURVIVAL IF HOSPITALS ARE FULL

[EdPaquette]

Think about it.

 Then build more hospital space... sorry if someone needs a knee replacement, they can wait a little longer. Elective surgeries are just that, elective. 

[gashole]

How about the ones there for cancer treatment or other ailments that are serious? My step dad can't get his other knee replaced right now and he has no thoughts of even going to a hospital but we could end up with what Ed has mentioned is what are the survival rates of the ones that are in the parking lot tents compared to the ones that are in the hospital facility?... 99.5%???? The percentage

  actually gashole, it's not. we know how to treat flu, but it still results in 10,500 hospitalizations a year in Canada. Covid has about 3000 total hospitalizations so far since March across Canada.  hospitals are packed because someone decided to stop non essentil surgeries and now their is a rush to catch up.  min a socialized healthcare system, their will never be

ok your right.. must be propaganda I have read on Twitter...

I just know that I am very concerned for the coming winter and next few months I think we should all be... and then when I go down to the bank just now and I see a bunch of University students in a pickup truck all crammed in there hooting and yelling out the window having a good old time makes think about when school started up again that's basically when all the cases started shooting up

[CANCDN]

people are getting essential surgeries. Non essential surgeries like knees hips etc in 2 hospitals have been delayed out of 480 hospitals. On the bright side, Hospitalizations dropped by 50 over the last 4-6 days and postivity percent has dropped almost an entire percent in a week. Today was record high cases, but also had 20k more tests to beat out the last record high.

Ed; What you mean, I think, is that the survival rate  will diminish if hospitals greatly exceed capacity. Hospitals can slightly exceed nominal capacity and with doctors and nurses working overtime the  needs of patients can be taken care of. At a certain point, as the patient count rises, a decision  may made, as in wartime, to triage patients based on age  and condition

  article in a CTV owned print says only 170 people in Canada have died from Covid who didn't live in a nursing home style care setting.... avg of 3 co morbidities. No excess death in Canada or Europe year vs year... USA worse off due to severe obesity epidemic.

  You do realize that post viral syndrome (what people now refer to as LONNNNG covid) is actually a thing and is experienced by many post viral infections for many things including the flu, hepatitis, bronchitis and many many other viruses that cause major attacks on immune system.  Long covid is post viral syndrome, it is not new or novel by and stretch of the imagination. 

[CANCDN]

as a completely anecdotal observation, those who have LOONNnNNnnGggGg Covid, also tend to be Middle Aged SINGLE females....type it into Twitter.  Every single person saying they have long covid are literally all female karens.  what you won't find is working class married people with kids who have long covid.  

[gashole]

And yet of the two people that I know personally who have had covid, one is still suffering 7 months later with major ailments in his lungs and constant headaches... he was never overweight doesn't have any other underlying health conditions is a hard-working guy in construction who has trouble getting out of bed in the morning now.... my brother said his Foreman at the place where he works is

Thank you for your post. I just got a call that my colonscopy has been cancelled. All elective surgery are cancelled now in Toronto. York Region will be shutdown early next week.  

[CANCDN]

Thats unfortunate. Not sure what an out patient procedure would have anything to do with ICUs. Scarborough or Brampton hospitals? Can't be the other health systems. They have like 6 covid patients at each hospital. 

[CANCDN]

I do appreciate your perspective, and it's unfortunate, but what you are describing literally happens with every person that get mononucleosis. Also happens to those who get viral hepatitis and many other nasty viruses. It's not a new phenomenon.

[Sapho]

There is a big difference in transmission of HepB, Hep C and Mono and COVID19. 

[CANCDN]

agree.. but that doesn't make "loooooonnnnngg covid" some new type of syndrome. Nasty viruses like covid wreck havoc on immune systems and some people have post viral syndrome. It many times more likely you will have a cold like illness and then move on. My wife had high ALTs for two months after our cruise and was sick at the end of our cruise. In fact we all were. It was likely

[gashole]

Yes it's possible my wife's friend and her boyfriend both got really sick right around the middle of February and she described it as the worst flu she had ever had.. she realized three or four weeks later that it was possible she might have had covid.. they never got tested

[thenewsnake]

lots of people likely had covid from dec 19 to feb 2020, the only difference is, the media wasn't going balistic reporting it.

[gashole]

Well it is something new when it's caused by an entirely different virus that is highly contagious and it is spreading like wildfire. My friend doesn't have hepatitis or mono he had covid. I'm not sure if you're trying to downplay it or not but it is a serious issue and if it is let run rampant there will be extreme Healthcare issues I don't see anything else being called a
