PERSPECTIVE ON RISING COVID-19 NUMBERS

Last week saw a number of top notch medical professionals step forward to add some much needed perspective to all of the concerns over rising COVID-19 cases in Canada and the prospects of a second wave.

 “We should be looking at hospital admission and ICU death numbers. However, you don’t see deaths until a few weeks later, but we know they’re not seeing massive increases with the number of deaths.”

“While (lockdowns) slow the spread of the virus, this only lasts as long as the lockdown lasts,” the experts wrote. “This creates a situation where there is no way to end the lockdown, and society cannot move forward in vitally important ways including in the health sector, the economy and other critically important instrumental goods including education, recreation, and healthy human social interactions.
