Germany, a country about as affluent as Canada, has 4x as many hospital beds, more health-care workers and much more lab capacity. Those are choices they've made. Worth a post- #pandemic discussion about whether those are also choices we want to make.

Some more detail: Germany has 4x as many acute care beds as Ontario, 3x as many as the Canadian average. Even at 280 characters, sometimes hard to fit it all into one tweet.
And, of course, all these stats are per capita. From Dec 2019 @OntHospitalAssn report. This is acute care hospital beds per thousand population.
