Dr. Atul Kapur, co-chair of the Canadian Association of Emergency Physicians , said Canadian hospitals are already suffering from a “chronic situation of overcrowding,” and expects it to only get worse in near future.
“The importance of getting a flu shot is higher than ever,” he said. “Even if you’ve never gotten one before, this is the year to make sure you get your flu shot.” “We’re dealing with it not just as caregivers to our patients, but also in our roles as family members,” said Kapur.
I thought COVID itself was overwhelming the system?!?!?
Isn’t that what happened last year? There was just NO talk what’s so ever of the flu last year and NOW we’re talking about it⁉️ Perhaps because the ‘novalty’ has worn off and you STILL NEED to invoke fear⁉️ Why⁉️⁉️ 🤔 fundedmedia
So why did they stop making FluMist then? Its alot easier to mass vaccinate kids with FluMist than with a jab
Why? Covid didn’t even come close to over whelming hospitals ( while everyone died of cancellations and missed treatment) and the flu never does. JUST STOP THE FEAR.
Physicians are risk adverse so this headline is expected. The first wave didn’t overwhelm hospitals as medical staff thought it would.
ctv halt
Not going to happen. COVID19 peaked at 15 hospital admissions per 1000 or 1.5% of admissions in Ontario. No wonder the doctors and nurses where dancing on TikTok This never came close to overwhelming the Hospitals. Second wave is still a conspiracy theory.
I believe our 2020 flu season will see a considerable decrease in common flu cases due to the strict practice of following COVID countermeasures within the general population. Just look at Australia’s 2020 flu season. Significant decrease. I still recommend getting the flu shot!
Yes, keep the foolish ones scared. The ones with the brains, we will keep increasing their taxes to buy beer for the scared ones.
Lots of dividers in the comments.
well I guess u should give us data then fake news please tell us what tam said jan 28 lies and liberals and fake news
If we wash our hands and use sanitizer and social distance shouldn’t that stop the regular flu too?
Yaya...
No choice. Shut everything down. Economy isn't important at all.
All because of your fear mongering
Government of Canada don't take action to tell the truth about the virus. Dr.limengyan Scientific paper,500K Downloads are the highest in 30 years,about more 600K Views!
When have I heard that one before?
Shame on you all how do sleep at night.
Ohh like the last time? When hospitals and field hospitals sat empty?
fool me once, shame on you. fool me twice, shame on me.
USA Fed staying wide open haha scamdemic imo
This time around people are going to spontaneously combust it’s going to be great, November can’t come soon enough to see how much longer this is going to go on
They tried that bullshit last spring....but it's funny how nobody had the flu last year, just covid
Time: 2018
Fear mongering propaganda. This is the greatest disinformation campaign ever deployed on Canadians MSM fake phony and false narratives predictive programming. Enough is enough trust in yourself research everything expand your knowledge. Leftists media lies.
sunlorrie They’re prepared for an increase. But it will not overwhelm anything. Cest la vie
Covidiots, assemble!
Shut up! Stop propagating fear!
sunlorrie And what if it doesn't. Fake News on your account. The first wave didn't even dent Health Care Hospitals.
Oh like this? Oh wait this was 2018 and no one cared.
So after months and months of mask wearing, social distancing, and lock downs, we find out that these measures didn't work after all and that infections are sky rocketing anyway. Brilliant move.
They should hav open up about that in June and let Covid 19 travel through the summer before flu season!
Lol ya just like a 2 week shutdown was to help prevent hospitals from over filling at the start of the pandemic? Haha flu is way more dangerous
More empty hospitals with dancing nurses on the way!!!
OFFS not that fear mongering nonsense again, how many innocent people will be left out in the cold medically to die this time around CTV? How many would you like? 100 a week, 200? We need to keep those headlines selling eh?
It’s all the flu
Hospitals are almost empty!!
