Are we doomed?
How did we get to this point - where our ICUs are at over 170% capacity? Where were are preparing to fly pts 1000s of km away?
Where were are not only talking about triaging adult ICU care, but pediatric ICU care? This makes me feel sick. /1

HCWs think about COVID every waking hour (if we are managing to sleep), whether we are at work or not. This is consuming us. We are seeing our system collapse before our eyes. Everyday, a step closer to doing something we never thought would be asked of us. /2
When we dedicated our careers to healthcare, we thought we would be saving lives, not choosing who lives and who doesn’t.
The moral distress is sometimes debilitating and it will only get worse as we have to make these choices.
We did not sign up for this. /3

We are on the brink of collapse. As @dryiu_verna said, space in the ICU is coming from people dying. @AHS_media is making valiant efforts to surge and surge and surge some more. But our capacity is finite.
All this while our leadership continues to fail us. /4

This failure of leadership and a lack of accountability is what has landed us here.
Where we are at the point of asking for federal help and ICU space in other provinces, but we continue to have some of the weakest PH measures in the country. /5

We are asking our country to bail us out, while we will still be filling stadiums to full capacity this weekend for hockey games.
We have a mask mandate that doesn’t even include our unvaxxed K-3 kids. Our schools are unprotected and having more cases by the day with no TTI. /6

Our vaccine passport is an absolute joke. It could be forged by a 10 year old. Vaccines aren’t even an actual requirement for access to things because you can get a swab instead.
News flash, getting a swab doesn’t protect you from contracting COVID for the next 3 days. /7

We need action.
We need a Firebreak NOW.
We can’t continue to ask for more and more resources without stopping the rampant transmission that is continuing to lead to hospitalizations.
Every day we wait is a day of more Albertans dying.
