ICUs on the brink: Can Ontario's hospitals cope during the third wave?

from This Matters · host Toronto Star

Healthcare professionals have been sounding the alarm about over-crowded Intensive Care Units and hospitals as Ontario is gripped by the third wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. Fuelled by the more virulent variants of concerns, hospital patients are tending to be younger, with many families arriving sick with the disease. Ontario's hospitals are already taking extraordinary measures, like transfering patients, creating field hospitals, suspending surgeries and more to ensure that the entire health care system does not buckle under the strain brought on by the third wave of COVID-19 patients.
