Another Wednesday, another conference filled with misinformation.
@JasonCoppingAB says not all hospitals are overcapacity. Only some in #yyc and #yeg ... And okay, perhaps that true. But that should not be reassuring to anyone, and here's why.

#YYC and #YEG contain the main tertiary car centers for AB, where specialized surgeries, procedures and transplant medicine occurs. It's where resources such as telemetry beds, specialized equipment exists as single point access for all Albertans.
If those hospitals are overcapacity, they can no longer safely accept patients from the peripheral sites, the rural hospitals, the smaller centers that do not have all of the necessary medical tools and personnel to care for every patient.
So while small centers scattered throughout the province may not be over 100% capacity, the centers that need to ALWAYS have room for our neighbors to the south, east, west, north (including NWT) are OVERCAPACITY.
Misinformation and disingenuous reporting of current state is going to be the ruin of our system. Please, @JasonCoppingAB , stop and provide Albertans information with integrity.
