Winkler Hospital

[fcr]

Scott Moe said yesterday that almost all the covid patients in hospitals in saskatchewan had not been vacinated.If we had private health care the govt could care less about covid,but when there spending over a million a day caring for covid patients ,they have a vested interest to say the least.

Ran out of O2 because of so many covid cases. 10% vax rate. That is what happens when you listen to posters like Big L.

apparently fake news?

RM of Stanley very low vaccination rate. Winkler old Mennonites (not age but style) won't follow restrictions. Super spreaders. Nice Christian examples. I'd switch to Buddhism but I'm a carnivore and Buddhists are usually vegetarians.

Just another rumour that was spread in the internet universe. Not to say supplies were not stretched because of many patients. The low vax rate is fact.

Hopefully you don’t get lambasted by Agriville’s fact checker DML ... he would be all over anyone else spreading false news in minutes lol

Those ol' Mennonites are just practicing ol' school herd immunity, some will die, the rest will live.
To bad if they're going to do that, that they wouldn't just stay solely among themselves and not spread it to the broader community. Don't they live communally like Hutt's? Don't have anything like that near us in SE Sask.

Sounds like you got taken for a ride by the Qanon clan.

Well thank you for thinking of me Furrow. But in response to your statement, I do not consider what Agstar posted to be false news. Demand for O2 at Winkler hospital is exceeding the capacity of their O2 generator according to Denis Fortier (the chief medical officer of the Southern Health authority" He told reporters that the regular oxygen supplies at the Boundary Trails Health Centre between Winkler and Morden, Man., can't keep up with the number of COVID-19 needing care. He explained: " "These … systems were built with redundancies, with lots of capacity to expand and contract based on level of requirements, and we've never had to worry about that until 2021, during the third wave of the pandemic," .

When the concentrator nears its capacity, the hospital has backup tanks that it uses to supplement. Recently, the hospital has been using more of those tanks than it ever has before, and it's had to order more, Fortier said.

If your regular input supplier runs short during the growing season (fertilizer, pesticides, fuel, parts, whatever) and you have to go to a different supplier/retailer to meet your immediate needs, I think you would consider this to be a problem and likely a shortage. No different than the hospital having to order O2 tanks to meet an unprecedented needed due to high O2 demand due to Covid.

It is not at all comparable to the false news being posted by the antivaxers on this site pretending to be cautious and who I now ignore because any response continues to give them a soapbox to continue to spread misinformation.

And for the same reason, I did not "lambaste" you for your definition of growing season on another thread. You provided one dictionary definition of growing season so you were correct. But the definition you provided starts off with "The other mode of measurement for growing seasons..." so there is more than one way to measure the length of a growing season; ways that are much more scientific, are not an average, and do not vary by crop, or other factors like humidity, rainfall, soil temp etc

Aren't they called "trueanon" or something,,, "fake truth".

YES! here you go...

[agstar77]

Not as dangerous as saying everyone who gets vaxed will die in two years!

[AlbertaFarmer5]

The most disturbing, and revealing aspect of both the Covid debate, and the global warming debate, is the glee and enthusiasm with which the proponents show when sharing any hint of bad news.
Ansd the opposite being true for good news.
