Doctors and nurses are warning that Alberta's health system is already under strain as COVID-19 hospitalizations surge and the respiratory virus season has yet to kick into high gear.
Internal Alberta Health Services data obtained by CBC News shows the number of patients hospitalized with COVID-19 has surpassed 900 and has roughly doubled in about a month.

"The concern for me is we're already hitting capacity issues and we're still relatively early on in the respiratory season," said Dr. Arun Abbi, president of the emergency medicine section with the Alberta Medical Association.
"The peak last year was about 1,500 to 1,600."

Can everyone please go get vaccinated to protect the vulnerable in their lives, and make sure your vulnerable loved ones don't slack off on this? I feel so bad for our HCW, it must feel like an endless slog for them.
And wear a damn mask if you are sick and have to go out.
