This is just wishful thinking. There is no real way to know if lockdowns had any material impact on hospital capacity. And besides, we had field hospitals set up in the early days... though they were all closed because they didn't get used. Hmmmmm....
- jeromegv 5y agoCanada had field hospitals. And they were used. Here’s an example. Sunnybrook hospital in toronto. One of the leading trauma hospital in the country. They also brought military to help. https://beta.ctvnews.ca/local/toronto/2021/4/30/1_5409214.html https://beta.ctvnews.ca/local/toronto/2021/4/30/1_5409214.ht... Just one example among many.
