What was the impact of delaying non-urgent surgeries during COVID-19 on patients? "It affects every aspect of your life"

Parents are taking their kids to hospitals because they can't breathe not because they don't have tylenol.
Today, Premier @ABDanielleSmith and I announced that the province has secured 5 million bottles of children's acetaminophen and ibuprofen for Alberta families.
This will help ease the worries of parents and help with the pressures on our children's hospitals.

The court said (reasonably) that an expert should decide public health interventions. Not a twitter expert and not a politician. We may need masking again in the future. Having a politician (non expert) preemptively preclude that shows how far we have sunk.
