If it's so mild, why are the hospitals jammed?[/quote]

Hospitals aren't jammed at all. Take a look at the HHS portal. VA hospitals are doing great at non-flu season capacity right now (70-80% is regular during that time period and hospitals typically "fill up" during flu seasons; VA is at 73% for hospitalization and 78% for ICUs right now).

The ERs are flooded, but with COVID paranoid people testing positive with no or little symptoms. What a failure of public health to scare people so much they're flooding the ER for the sniffles.

I just got an email from Children’s Hospital in DC yesterday, my child is a patient there, saying that they are jammed! They are asking The CPS families who are using the hospital for convenience testing and non-severe ailments to use other facilities. [/quote]
