I went to a walk-in clinic the other day. Note the username, Canadian Healthcare.
I went in at noon. I was out by 12:20. Normally there's a two to three hour wait to be seen at a walk-in.
They had one doctor working. If four people showed up at once, then that doctor would have been understaffed and overburdened... But they've not needed more than one doctor.
I saw a news article the other day, noting "alarming increase in hospitalization!" that when I scrolled down to actually read the acticle, said that the hospital furloughed, closed down, or otherwise shut off 80% of its capacity because of lack of use, and there was concern because the hospital was rapidly approaching (not "at", "approaching", 70% of their current capacity limit. Or in other words that the news DIDN'T bother directly saying, the news was going "SHIT WE GON DIE YALL" over a hospital hitting 14% capacity use.
