I seriously doubt the number is that low given an analysis pub in CMAJ in 2020: "Between Mar. 15 & June 13, 2020, the estimated backlog in Ontario was 148 364 surgeries" This was from the 1st wave & we haven't exactly been catching up on surgeries
I'm reminded of @wanghoaneng et al's paper in @CMAJ after the 1st wave looking into the effect of the pandemic on surgeries. We'll be dealing with the effects of covid for a very long time https://t.co/D2K1wSvuJb
CMAJ estimates the surgery backlog in Ontario will take at least 84 weeks to clear. That is almost 2 years. 2 years. Zero COVID cases is never going to happen, & as a society we need to raise our voice & demand attention toward the lockdown death
