Doctors referring to Saskatchewan& #39;s lack of being alarmed at this crisis:
"We& #39;re still in the top 3 (for case rate) in the country, and I think we& #39;ve normalized a bad situation... they talk about boiling the frog in the water, it just doesn& #39;t jump out. Maybe we& #39;re the frog."

Using analogy of critical care like a bathtub: "The drain is only so big, the water only goes down so much as people get better, or other [die]... and then the tap is the covid patients. We& #39;re in the tub, but we can& #39;t turn off the tap. SOMEONE NEEDS TO TURN OFF THE TAP."

"The stories that they& #39;re telling are heartbreaking. Patients and family suffering and it struck me that one of the themes is, WE& #39;RE SEEING ORPHANS FROM COVID <voice breaks> and I think that& #39;s really horrible."

This is your failure to own @PremierScottMoe

"This is damaging to the healthcare workers. It& #39;s life altering, it& #39;s career altering [HCWs discussing retiring after covid is over] and we& #39;re going to have a lot to do afterwards to help our people."

"We can create capacity, but we& #39;re doing it at the expense of quality of care, we& #39;re doing it at the expense of SAFETY, let& #39;s be frank about it. We& #39;re doing it at the cost of outcomes. And we& #39;re doing it at the cost of our staff."

"It& #39;s a grinder. We& #39;re grinding up our staff."

Shame on us Saskatchewan! Our healthcare workers are not disposable so we can flaunt public health guidelines.
