Thanks for that review - I've often wondered how much of an overshoot some areas did and how much of an undershoot others did.

We suffered a severe economic impact from the loss of tourism, but our local ecology flourished. And when we did relax our restrictions, our hospitals came very close to being totally overwhelmed. I do think that those who aren't intimately involved involved with the healthcare system just don't understand how close we came to having a collapsed acute care system with horrible downstream impact on the treatment of a host of acute and chronic conditions.
