The group of cardiac arrest survivors with NDEs were statistically more likely have a reduced fear of death, increased belief in life after death, interest in the meaning of life, acceptance of others, and were more loving and empathic. It may take years after NDEs for the aftereffects to become fully manifest. The aftereffects may be so substantial that NDErs may seem to be very different people to their loved ones and family. The consistency, intensity, and durability of NDE aftereffects is consistent with the NDErs’ typical personal assessments that their experiences were very meaningful and significant. It is remarkable that NDEs often occur during only minutes of unconsciousness, yet commonly result in substantial and life-long transformations of beliefs and values. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6172100/ Maybe the cruel parent didn't eat all the treat.

Years of restraint straining Ontario's hospital system: report The report reveals just how lean the province’s 141 hospitals have become in recent years. Not only does Ontario have the lowest hospital expenditure per capita by a provincial government, at $1,494 compared to an average of $1,772, but Ontario is tied with Mexico for the fewest acute care hospital beds per capita in the world. Ontario’s hospitals have faced low or nearly flat funding over recent years. Between 2012 and 2019, government funding to Ontario hospitals increased by a total of 5.4 per cent, compared to an average of 12.9 per cent among other provinces, while wages and population increased. https://ottawacitizen.com/news/local-news/years-of-restraint-straining-ontarios-hospital-system-report#:~:text=Not only does Ontario have,flat funding over recent years. It seems that Ontario has done more to cripple it's healthcare system than most. That with added opiod cases longer waiting lists, has really diminished their capacity to cope. I believe that there may be some Ontario hospitals that have more than one covid19 patient in ICU, but you have not named one yet.

L.A. is not actually in Canada. Their citizens go to non Canadian hospitals as a rule. If you have knowledge of any Canadian hospitals that are full of covid19 patients, please provide a source.

There are a total of 1200 hospitals in Canada, and 4706 hospitalizations for covid19, 885 of them in ICU> This is an average of 4 patients per hospital, less than 1 ICU per hospital. Not the story you government and media would have you believe. 1,200 hospitals In total, there were over 1,200 hospitals in Canada as of 2019. https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1GGRV_enCA911CA911&biw=1600&bih=757&sxsrf=ALeKk03ynaWUUrnwacjD7-OjTjaormC1Ig%3A1610843366304&ei=5oQDYNOGEumq0PEP8eCHsAo&q=total+number+of+hospitals+in+canada&oq=+total+hospitals+canada+how+many&gs_lcp=CgZwc3ktYWIQARgAMgUIABDNAjoECAAQRzoECCMQJzoGCAAQCBAeOggIABAIEAcQHlCbe1jXqAFg2sMBaABwAngAgAHAAYgB8QSSAQM2LjGYAQCgAQGqAQdnd3Mtd2l6yAEIwAEB&sclient=psy-ab HOSPITALIZATIONS COMPARED TO PREVIOUS DAY Currently*4,706 - 81 ICU885 + 4 https://ici.radio-canada.ca/info/2020/coronavirus-covid-19-pandemie-cas-carte-maladie-symptomes-propagation/index-en.html

If they had done nothing, it would have saved many thousands of lives, and our economy would be much healthier. If they had focused their resources on testing, contact tracing and isolating those who are likely to spread the virus, we would have been free of this mess a long time ago.

I am going to go off topic a bit here, but this is what Dr. David Nabarro said about lockdowns. Destructive actions are worse than no action. Think before you destroy. Of course as was posted earlier the appropriate action would have been maximum testing, contact tracing, and isolating those who were likely to infect others.

Yes if they die being denied procedures that they were promised.

People dying is a tragedy. If a virus kills them, not our fault. If government actions kill them, that is our fault.

In April, the University Health Network in Ontario released a study suggesting that after just six weeks into a ten-week shutdown of what were said to be non-essential surgeries, as many as 35 cardiac-care patients might have died after their heart surgeries were cancelled to free up beds for the anticipated surge in COVID-19 patients (which never came). The Network reported that in April 2020, in addition to fewer cardiac surgeries, there were 38 per cent fewer cancer surgeries, 73 per cent fewer vascular surgeries, 81 per cent fewer transplant surgeries, 94 per cent fewer pediatric surgeries and 96 per cent fewer other adult surgeries compared with April 2019. https://www.jccf.ca/government-data-shows-lockdowns-more-deadly-than-covid-19/

No they didn't take a lot of time to figure out how to deprive our children. They did it almost immediately. Maybe they should have taken a little time to figure things out, before recklessly destroying everything within their reach.

This is true, we have let the fear of death rob us of the love of life. We now no longer believe that we are stronger together, but see our fellow humans as viral threats. The really sad part is that lockdowns don't reduce viral threats, they just redistribute them over a longer time.

This is the truth. This is what the government should have focused their resources on from the beginning.

It is the government that screwed things up. The government closed the hospitals when people were promised treatments, necessary for their continued survival, it was the government that watched them die untreated. You might not care about that, but it is not okay, and the government is to blame. You might think that closing the hospitals didn't make waiting lists longer and fill the hospitals, but it did. It is the government that locked down battered spouses with their abusive partners, and closed the shelters that were their only refuge. You might not see this as a problem, but it is a problem, and the government is to blame. It is the government that closed the borders causing a worsening of the opiod crisis resulting in many deaths and hospitalizations. You might not think that this put more stress on the healthcare system, but it did. You might not see this as a problem, but it is a problem. You might not think that the government is to blame, but the government is to blame. It was the government that closed down businesses and drove many into bankruptcy. You might not think that this is a problem, but it actually is a problem. you might think that the government is not to blame, but the government is to blame.

The healthcare system is swamped because the lockdowns made long hospital waiting lists longer, worsened the opioid crisis, caused an increase in domestic abuse, and made the population more sedentary. It also caused a general deterioration of mental health, and peoples ability to cope.

Our parents, and their parents through their hard work built, this nation, and left us a prosperous healthy Canada. We should do the same for our children, but lately we are not.

The topic is damage to our health care system, you are the one who started wandering the globe. You can think that makes you the smart one if you want to.

How about Antarctica no lockdowns, and no deaths for the whole continent.

So you no longer believe it to be a pandemic?

South Korea has population density of 527 people per square kilometer. It has had no lockdowns and has a per capita death rate that is one twelfth of Denmark's.

Sweden has a population density of 25.4 people per square kilometer. https://www.google.com/search?q=population+density+sweden&rlz=1C1GGRV_enCA911CA911&oq=population+density+sweden&aqs=chrome..69i57j0i20i263j0l2j0i395l4.12410j1j15&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 Canada has a population density of 4 people per square kilometer. https://www.google.com/search?q=population+density+canada&rlz=1C1GGRV_enCA911CA911&oq=population+density+Canada&aqs=chrome.0.0i457j0l4j0i395l3.15666j1j15&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 Of course Ontario and Quebec have higher per capita covid deaths than New Brunswick and Newfoundland. If you cared about the elderly you would care about this. “While we are so busy trying to protect (seniors) from COVID, they might end up dying of isolation and loneliness and we have started hearing cases from people saying, ‘I want to die,'” said Dr. Samir Sinha, the director of Health Policy Research for the National Institute on Ageing, and the director of geriatrics for the Sinai Health System. https://globalnews.ca/news/7484503/covid19-seniors-isolation-mental-health/

If you don't know, you should not destroy. You should actually know, and have a reason before you sacrifice all that our parents have left for us. There should be some valid reason for impoverishing your children, and killing poor people all over the world.

While there is no clear and obvious benefit to lock downs, the death and destruction they do is clear and obvious.

Yes I do, It has the densest population of all the Nordic countries, and is the most industrialized . It has more outside contacts and outside workers. Twist it how you want, Europe is Europe, population density is population density, and choosing the comparables to paint your own picture is a sign of ignorance.

Sweden is about the middle of the pack for deaths in Europe with fewer deaths per capita than Italy, Slovenia, Boznia and Herzegovina, Czechia, United Kingdom, North Macedonia, Moldova, Bulgaria, Hungary, Spain, Croatia, France and Switzerland. It has more deaths than Romania, Poland, Lithuania, Portugal, Austria, Netherlands , Slovakia, Germany, Serbia, Ireland, Greece, Latvia, Ukraine, Albania, Estonia and Norway. Generally the countries with greater population densities had more deaths. https://www.statista.com/statistics/1104709/coronavirus-deaths-worldwide-per-million-inhabitants/ Sweden however didn't attack their own healthcare system, lock their children out of their schools, telling them that they were going to die, and kill their elderly by isolating them and immobilizing them. Sweden did not lock down their citizens, and criminalize the operation of their businesses, and it seemed to make almost no difference in infection rates.

Yes there has been a lot of man made change in the last 80 years. Of course the man made solutions are more recent. Man is now working on building a pipeline across Africa (the Trans African Pipeline) to bring water to the Sahara desert, and make it green again, planting trees, and producing crops. This is an east west pipeline, but the same could be done with north south pipelines if TAP is a success. Work is being done on carbon capture with algae, producing biodegradable plastics and fuels, and of course taking carbon dioxide out of the air, and putting oxygen into it. Efforts are now being made to farm sea weed taking carbon out of the ocean, and putting oxygen back, reducing the dead zones, and reversing the acidification of the seas. All is not lost, good people are doing good things, and we will get better at it.
