We are in a time of turmoil where the people of Ontario, and even Canada are getting tired of the covid-19 continual roll out of information. Information that as best of times can be questionable. But what has happened? Will this end? Will the vaccine be the "wonder" drug that everyone is thinking?
For the government, the masses are falling behind in goosestep precision without question. The people are walking around with fear in their eyes. They are afraid of each other and afraid of people in general. I have seen it as I go shopping in the stores. People's eyes show fear as they are constantly being told "stay home, stay apart, don't touch anyone, wash your hands." and the list goes on and on.
I am not about to say that covid is not here, It is and yet it is real. What is happening appears to be something that many people do not concur with. We hear the problems in the GTHA, Ottawa, Niagara Region, Peel Region and Halton Region. The medical of health doctors are telling us that their Intensive Care Units are full, that the hospitals are being taxed to the limit, and each one has a story to tell the puts further fear in the minds of people. Again I am not about to say covid is not here, however there are a few things that people need to understand, while at the same time tying their shorts in knots.
About two weeks ago, the military erected field hospitals in parking lots of some Toronto hospitals. These tents are intended to put covid patients in so that numbers in the ICU would come down and to take the pressure off the hospitals. To this day, these field hospitals are not in use. Burlington has an 80 bed field hospital in the parking lot, and this has been there since last year. So far it was only used once for five patients, and now as a vaccine center. Again, no relief from the ICU and this tent stays unused for the purpose it was intended. Now a new field hospital is being erected at Hamilton General Hospital with a capacity for 80 beds. Will this field hospital actually be used? No I don't believe it will.
The reason I believe that these field hospitals are not in use, is because there are not enough nurses in Ontario to cover these beds. So it is not a bed shortage, nor is it room shortage. What it is, is a nursing shortage. For decades hospitals have abused the nursing staff. Many nurses are not employed as full time nurses. Many are only part time, occasional part time, all for to save a dollar here and there.
From what I understand, there should be one nurse for every six patients. That number has been dramatically changed as one nurse now looks after ten patients, and on the midnight shifts three nurses for sixty patients. Only full time nurses get benefits while the other nurses are only part time, or occasional and therefore don't have benefits.
I knew of one nurse that was employed by three nursing homes, and seven hospitals. Which ever hospital or nursing called first, were the one's that got that nurse for the day. I saw nurses at Vancouver General wash floors and perform other maintenance work as part of their duties. I saw relatives of patients stay in the patient's room and writing down ever nurse or doctor that walked in the room, what time, what was said, what medication and meals were given. I saw nurses leave for the day, not knowing if they were returning the next day. This also was carried on in Ontario.
Nurses were being recruited to go to the United States, before the nurse even graduated. So this is why I believe that there are not enough nurses to attend to the beds. I have learned that when a hospital says they don't have enough beds, that code for they don't have nurses to attend to the beds.
The third wave is here, and scarier that even, now that it has been estimated that covid has mutated to not just three new viruses, but now a total of at least two thousand new variants. As a result some people have looked at the governments and fail to believe them. People no longer believe the government, nor do they accept what the doctors are saying. We have heard doctors on both sides of the argument, and have believed one of the sources or none of the sources.
The Mask had become a symbol now, a sign of blind obedience, an object of submissiveness. The mask unfortunately is seen as a means of government enslavement to the covid propaganda machine. The end result is defiance. People are now thinking for themselves which is something that governments do not want. The mask has brought on arrests, charges, and friction between people. As in all symbols of oppression, the mask is seen as a sign of oppression and what do people do to become free -- if to throw off the restrictions of oppression which in this case has become the mask.
People who live in rural communities don't see what is being reported in the cities as it does not effect them. Where I live, there are some one hundred and seven or so people who have tested positive for covid. Not one person is in the hospitals though as the time of writing this blog, but are all at home in isolation.
What really needs to happen is that all these cases where people are being charged and fined, need to be heart in the courts. Demands need to be made on the health unit doctors to produce the evidence, which at this time, they haven't, which leads to the concept that there is no evidence to give. Court cases hinge on evidence and if it is not there, than the court proceedings can not be continued. Many health unit doctors don't have the evidence that is being demanded.
We need to know that covid is here and it can be serious. We also have to stop being afraid and start living our lives again. Herd immunity may or may not happen, and the vaccines may not be the golden calf that everyone is worshipping. Like the flue, covid will not be going away anytime soon. Not this year and not even next year.
Do we follow blindly, or do we pick and choose our battles. So far everyone is just getting tired and they just want covid and the government to just go away.
