As Canada prepares for a possible second wave of COVID-19, some health experts are raising concerns that long-term care homes devastated by the virus earlier this year are not prepared for a surge of infections.

, followed by those aged 70 to 79 and 60 to 69 . Together, those three groups account for more than two-thirds of all COVID-19 hospitalizations.

The Quebec government previously said 8,000 newly hired personal support workers will be working by mid-September, while the government is also barring orderlies from working in multiple homes. "British Columbia has about half of the long-term care residents as compared to Ontario but only had one-tenth of the deaths," Arya said. "We have yet to see a similar response in Ontario."

When did the first wave arrive? Enough of the fear mongering you hacks.

How could they not be prepared. Over 80% of deaths occurred in LTC homes. Just seems lazy to still not be prepared🤷🏼‍♂️

After what happened regarding long term care homes during the first wave they better damn well be prepared if there is a second wave!

So they have learned nothing up to now? If I made a mistake that cost people's lives I'd be locked up. Pure incompetence on all levels and that's why we are here now.

We had to remove my mother in law. Every time she has diarrhea she gets 14 day severe lockdown. She’s 70 and has had Alzheimer’s for 10 years. Not gonna pay to keep her in prison. I can do that myself. They should be ashamed of how they treat older people.

Not prepared.... again?!

Too late. The 2nd period is underway.

This COVID-19 is poisoned with 19 stimulated compounds to poison people & the atmosphere has been poison . North Korea 🇰🇵 & China 🇨🇳.

Are they or are they not ready? More Steller reporting from CTV...

Because no one cares, after the first way of deaths no one was outraged, no one was calling for a criminal investigation, it was just forgotten about. I thought people would be up in arms but how wrong I was. I was told it was the circle of life by several people, unbelievable.

Some health experts said risk was very low and masks don't work
