The latest wave of COVID-19 is bringing health-care resources in some remote communities in Canada to the breaking point as case numbers explode.

That's more than one-fifth of the confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the territory since the pandemic began almost two years ago, and the territory's chief public health officer Dr. Michael Patterson says it is putting immense strain on health care.On Labrador's remote northern coast, where COVID-19 showed up for the first time last week, leaders are pleading with residents to be cautious and imposing tight travel restrictions into local communities.

Innu Nation Deputy Grand Chief Mary Ann Nui says in a Facebook post that the inability to get confirmed test results quickly is adding to the stress. A federal rapid response team with nurses and a paramedic is now in Bearskin Lake First Nation in northern Ontario, as the fly-in only community reports more than one-third of its 400 residents have COVID-19.

Isolation is something I will never understand, and especially as the flavour of the week is so mild. Can someone honestly explain to me why?

This isolation is Bullshit and not the answer .We need to be around people to move forward

Why is the science being ignored?
