[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hospitals were overrun and medical professionals were overworked and burning out. The lockdown prevented the collapse of the medical system. Perhaps the lockdown went longer than it needed to, but it was impossible to predict exactly how covid would evolve.[/quote]
Hospitals were overrun in a handful of places, and that was due to mismanagement by the respective governments. Such as DCUM's darling Governor Cuomo who was more interested in holding press conferences than setting up a system to spread out covid patients to different hospitals.

The vast majority of hospitals in the US got, at worst, more busy than normal for a limited period of time.  [/quote]

And let's not forget that hospitals laid off a good number of staff because elective surgeries- aka money makers, weren't happening. So while they said they were overrun, it was really short staff because they laid a lot of them off.[/quote]

I remember watching news stories about overrun hospitals and then walking by a local hospital that if I didn’t know better, I would have thought it was closed for business.  [/quote]
