More expensive than CERB? Isn't that staff only required if the bed is full?

Not challenging your statement Mike, just sayin'...

A lot of things not making sense anymore, if they ever did.

As a result, Ontario has a total of 20,354 acute care beds with a potential for an additional 4,205 more acute care beds by April 30, 2020. Of Ontario's 3,504 critical care beds, 2,811 are now equipped with ventilators, up from 1,319 when the outbreak first started.

We are shutting down because people are protesting the lockdowns and taking to the streets in large numbers now.
There were demonstrations in Toronto, Ottawa, Cornwall,...recently.

edit add: that's a normal ward bed...the ICU beds are more..a $million a year is conservative

So are the test probably spend 25 million alone this week just for the test in Ontario lol.

Doesn't surprise me Impact. As I said earlier, people, especially those that have been taking it on the chin, are getting pissed.

Many businesses aside from the obvious retail/hospitality are hurting. Else why 2k/month and government aid to state the obvious. Now many are looking at another month. And even if they remain open as ours will be. Well if customers aren't coming through the doors......

I'm just not sure what level of ugly this might get. US ugly by mid, late January?
Human nature is human nature.

We are in these types of lockdown till spring .

There will be another we will be opening back up at high peak and cases will to continue .

March is the next one coming lol.
