Low oxygen supply forces Toronto hospital to transfer COVID-19 patients | National Post
''TORONTO — A Toronto hospital says it transferred a number of COVID-19 patients and cancelled some surgeries today after its supply of oxygen ran low.

A vice-president at Michael Garron Hospital says staff identified the risk early today because of a high volume of patients with the virus requiring oxygen.''

''Ontario’s hospitals continue to deal with record-high admissions and patient numbers in intensive care during the third wave of the pandemic.

The province says today that 2,248 people are hospitalized with COVID-19, 884 are in intensive care, and 620 are on a ventilator.''

that's frightening
the virus is scary but it gets scarier when our medical system seems to fail
can't imagine being in India ...

It looks like it may be opening up to all ages at the end of May here. I cannot wait for my husband to be eligible as he's the one being exposed to it at work.
