People are morons. They are abusing health care workers who are trying to save their ignorant, stupid lives. Can you imagine the audacity of some of these donkey-donuts cursing out medical staff while proclaiming Covid isn’t real? It’s happening here in Texas-North, and i am fucking embarrassed to live in this clownshow of a province.
“While we’re on this unit, the doctors (and nurses) are just being horrifically, horrifically abused,” she said.
“(Health-care workers are) being sworn at, they’re being told that COVID isn’t real and (patients) don’t want to be intubated,” Christensen said.
“There are no words at this point. I’m just completely baffled. I’ve walked the halls of this ICU. I’ve seen that it’s real.”

Believable.
Dr. Paul Parks, the head of emergency medicine for the Alberta Medical Association, said the situation in Alberta hospitals will only become worse without an increase in restrictions.
“I am advocating so strongly for increased public health measures at this point in time and our government to take leadership and to put in some meaningful restrictions,” Parks said.
He said he believes the province is just days away from implementing critical care triage, with increasing COVID-19 patients and no workers to care for them.
“We’re for sure close,” he said. “We cannot continue to keep adding (patients).
This public health crisis was easily predictable and entirely avoidable, but our conservative UCP government led by Jason Kenny proclaimed the province was “Open for Summer!” and lifted all public health safety restrictions.
321 Albertans died for the “Open for Summer” debacle – and more are dying everyday – expect a big jump in the death toll once the medical triage starts.
What a tragedy, made worse with the knowledge that it was entirely preventable.

“The right to protest does not include being able to prevent your neighbours from getting to work and putting food on the table, or threatening their security. Albertans expect their government to deal with lawlessness and stand up for the values that all law-abiding citizens share. This government is doing just that.”
Jason Kenney, Premier

Sounds very similar to what’s happening in the more wingnutty parts of the US, with the result that substantial numbers of health-care workers have been quitting their jobs. Why work yourself to exhaustion and risk infection for the sake of people who insult and abuse you?
If triage does come, the most just way to do it would be to give infected anti-vaxers the lowest priority. That doesn’t seem to be what’s being done in most places, though.

There are no qualifiers to get public healthcare in Canada.
The irresponsible are treated just the same as the responsible.
I understand though that vaccinated people have a higher chance of recovering and thus the triage procedures favour those who have made sensible choices.

Look, smokers are put at the end of the list for lung transplants, the obese are put at the end of the list for heart transplants, alcoholics are put at the end of the list for liver transplants – we need to do the same thing with the unvaccinated. Send them home with some ivermectin.
