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

Gonna go out on a limb and say that if hospitals are jammed with admitted patients due to covid those patients are virtually all unvaccinated and/or immune compromised. It’s mild for the vaccinated.[/quote]

Reposting for the misinformation that hospitals are "jammed".  They're not.

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.

It isn't just that. My primary care won't see my for sick visits. They wouldn't even see me when I had a cough for 3 months and multiple negative tests. They just kept sending me to the ER. VA Dept of health needs to demand PCP see patients with covid symptoms to help alleviate ER burden. [/quote]

Not unless you are having trouble breathing or some other complications.  There is no pill for Covid.  No need to infect your doctor’s office or the ER.[/quote]
