I don't know their names, I don't know their stories.

But I know they were #Albertans I know they were someone's neighbour, someone's best friend, someone's partner, and someone's family. I know they were one of us. A member of our community. I know they were loved.

/1 I know it shouldn't be this way. I know we can protect each other. I know we have the tools.

We need to start using them. Normalizing the loss, is not normal. Living with #COVID19AB is not living, it is killing and collapsing and crushing.

Some napkin math on non-icu healthcare capacity.
Disclaimer: I know pts come and go.
Napkin math.
On 01/11 there were ONLY 159 UNOCCUPIED Non-ICU beds in all of #Alberta (screenshot below from @GoAHealth website).
/1 Image By 01/14 COVID inpts were reported at 741 (likely to be revised see @joevipondmd thread below)

Reducing those beds to ~ 118. Even with potential pts discharges this is alarming. Especially given the massive revisions to patient numbers this week.
