I really wish the average Albertan knew just how far off the rails things have to be for us to start double bunking in ICU. It's so far outside best practice that it should be front page news.#COVID19AB

'The next step is refrigerator trucks.' Alberta ICU doctor Darren Markland gives a dire outlook on the province's pandemic response as it plans to build field hospitals for COVID-19 patients. #CBCNN
