There is by the way no wave.I live in Quebec and here the hospitals system is near his functioning limit with very tired health care workers... The political authorities will limit all Christmas encounters to keep the exhausted personals after months with this crisis more able to work...( The functionong limit of an hospital is determined not only by the % of occupation beds but mostly by the health and spirit and the effective numbers of working health care workers)
I live in Quebec and here there is a wave
even if our our situation is less worst than in some Us states by now....
Then there is indeed a wave.... There is the possibility now, a real fact, that the health care system will not be able to care for other case than covid by lack of space, or lack of personals etc....
It is a serious crisis, negate the fact do not help....And the death count is by no way the more significative factor, but the serious negative long term effects and the very difficult recovery on a great % of those who has contracted it are...
Economic recovery has no real meaning and possibilities before solving first the health crisis....
