1/Zero Covidian @VeraEtches in lockstep with the team lockdown fear campaign. This time it's younger patients & tired health care workers. It certainly isn't because Ottawa hospitals are overloaded (down from C19 peak of 62 in Apr 2020). Not unusually overloaded then or now. 
2/I don't recall a time in Ottawa when there wasn't a periodic news story about overcrowded hospitals. If this is a staffing issue, @OttawaHealth has no one but themselves to blame for carrying on with test/trace/isolate for a low IFR endemic virus.
3/If it is a long hospital stay issue because of LTC problems, again, OPH has no one to blame but themselves. They had all last spring, summer, fall & winter to work on surge space/resources for problematic LTC residences. Instead, they wasted time and money on test/trace/isolate
Important data to consider for Ontario before implementing another destructive lockdown (not that the last two have ever been fully lifted):
#No3rdLockdown #onpoli @fordnation @celliottability
1. ICUs aren't full. Ontario's largest city is at 80% (Green: below target of 90%)
#No3rdLockdown #onpoli @fordnation @celliottability
1. ICUs aren't full. Ontario's largest city is at 80% (Green: below target of 90%)
2. ICUs aren't maxed out and have never been maxed out during covid. Additionally, most ICU patients don't have covid - there are other health matters that regularly drive people to the ICU. (And don't forget that lockdowns worsen human health.)

3. No data suggesting that hospitals are under more pressure than in every other year due to flu and pneumonia.
