In my province now they ARE delaying a lot of surgeries. I know 2 (TWO) people who were supposed to have organ transplants and one whose gallstone surgery was delayed until it was a medical emergency (potentially fatal that didn't have to be anywhere near that).But the ThatRobGuy suggested that COVID cases are so overwhelming to hospitals that if you break your arm and have to go to the ER, you'll have to go somewhere else because COVID patients are taking up all the beds. Are you suggesting that is not the case?
In areas with dense outbreaks, yes, some hospitals are getting borderline overrun. There was even a PSA a couple weeks ago, suggesting limiting your driving and any high risk activities because any severe outcome would likely not be able to be dealt with in the ICU (though if you could avoid the ICU you'd probably be okay).
