Only thing keeping ICUs in Alberta from total failure here is the daily discharge rate(deaths) is equal to the daily admitting rate.

Faffel posted:So I guess BC has just gone full on "we aren't doing anything and it's up to the public to figure this out" now. I'm beginning to think this continent is fundamentally hosed and nothing can bring it back from the brink. Trying for minimal disruptions while informing businesses to prepare for a third of their workforce to get sick at any given time. Surely this will stop the medical system and other essential infrastructure from collapsing. I've been reasonably chill during this pandemic but for some reason this poo poo is making me apoplectic now. Main issue in BC is staffing levels. Last shift I worked with the floor(medical unit) fully staffed was Dec. 25th when everyone makes 2.5 times rate/pay. Even Jan. 1st with everyone making double we where short 2. Island health where I work, we have 40 COVID patients, and a whopping 12 in ICU areas, all unvaxxed or 1 dose. That's nothing. What the news isn't telling you is the staff/PT ratio is dog poo poo, instead of 4-5 patients, you get 8-10. Last shift my wife did in emergency,(Jan 2nd), she had 6 nurses to work with for 90~ patients in that department. Finally BC and probably other places, the number one emergency presented is not COVID, it's mental health, and drug overdoses. But people can't catch a mental health breakdown from a restaurant or gym that so it's not in the media. Many people work thankless jobs here, but the security working within hospitals. God drat do they have it rough.

First I thought the issue was all truckers had to be vaxxed to just do their job, like delivering meat from Alberta to BC. That is not the case at all, just mad one needs to be vaxxed coming into Canada from US. Yet you need a vaccine to enter America any per that counties laws. The convoy now has to do with getting some of that sweet $$$$ GoFundMe dollars. I expect next week when all the donations are refunded, well get more bigbrain conspiracy theories of government controlling this GoFundMe money.

Xaranthius posted:Apparently it's not just airlines dealing with cancellations and delays. Queen of Alberni breaks down about 5 times a year, it's old as gently caress. I khow few people that work for BC ferries and I can tell you that the issues are not underpaid staff. Maybe finding staff on short notice is a problem but the nice lady as the cashier charging me to much for my spicy chicken burger is not underpaid.
