Every so often, a comment or a letter comes along that’s a bit discouraging. We have received a lot of letters lately and most have been very well thought out and reasonably well composed. In addition, we also get a large number of submitted columns. We don’t have room for many submitted pieces but we try our very best. We have to make decisions, right or wrong, we have to make decisions.

In response to a question from the Banner & Press about ICUs, a Manitoba Shared Health spokesperson said, “As of May 31, there have been 820 COVID patients admitted to ICU since the start of the pandemic.
