ICUs filling with younger COVID-19 patients
- Thread starter squeezer
- Start date
ICU's are past capacity.
A major problem is that there are still patients in the ICU's from the first wave. Patients could stay in the ICU's for weeks, months, years before there is a final resolution.
I saw some "MASH" units outside Sunnybrook.
"The Mobile Army Surgical Hospital (MASH) refers to a United States Army medical unit serving as a fully functional hospital in a combat area of operations. The units were first established in August 1945, and were deployed during the Korean War and later conflicts."

Painfully obvious the headline is blatant fear mongering to appease the sheep. Carry on.
Wow. Young people die of the flu? Maybe we should spend millions of taxpayer dollars to pay for flu vaccines.
I don't understand the hysteria these Doctors are creating over our ICUs being overun with young essential working folks, aren't these the same folks defiantly engaging in after-work socializing, bar-hopping, party mongering activities. Why not preach to these folks to follow public health regulations? Why prioritize them for vaccine jabs? Isn't this rewarding them for bad behaviour?
Some of them might be from carelessness but many are getting it at work where they have to deal with hundreds of people every day.
Rate of death for patients under 50 is rising as well.

In the first wave of the pandemic a patient under the age of 50 died in one of Ontario’s ICUs every six days. In the second wave, it was on average every five days.
In wave three, it is one every 2.8 days.
