[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Man lots of deluded people here. Two months ago hospitals around me were collapsing under the weight of "mild" omicron cases.

Lots of people who died were 30 thru 60. LOTS![/quote]

Indeed, insane how quickly memory fades. We pretty much didn't have hospitals available in my area. Military helping out in hospitals. People dying for non-covid related reasons because they couldn't get care.
BA2 is causing a major increase in hospitalization in the elderly and under 5s again in the UK. Record hospitalizations for the elderly since vaccines became available - even though they are much more vaxxed and boosted than we are. If BA2 takes off here, and it looks like it will, we are looking at a more deadly wave than BA1 due to the longer interval since the booster and vaccinations.[/quote]

Where the heck did this happen??[/quote]

Lots of places, including some highly vaccinated states like Rhode Island. Deployment of military medical personnel into "New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Rhode Island, Michigan and New Mexico", on top of National Guard activation there and in many other states. https://www.cnbc.com/2022/01/13/omicron-biden-deploys-military-medical-personnel-to-hospitals-in-six-states.html
Hospital workers were beside themselves as they had to leave people untreated and in some cases dying in the waiting rooms and hallways. In my state, there was something like an emergency standard of care declaration where you weren't able to sue if you received substandard care. [/quote]

Ok Drama Llama. You specifically stated that people died because they couldn’t get care.  That article does not support your insane assertion at all.  That article states that the federal government sent personnel into hospitals to keep them staffed.[/quote]
