Hey Everyone,

I was reading a story about how PEI is facing a shortage of beds and staff to combat rising numbers in their hospitals.

Perhaps we can look into setting up a temporary virus wing in another venue and pull beds from doctors offices and even dentist offices to help.

Alternatively, we can ask nursing students or personal care workers to help with staffing shortages.

If anyone around the world can send help or manpower it would be greatly appreciated. Together we will get through this time, I believe in all of you, keep going.

Stay safe, stay sanitized and stay supportive,
