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.

Children's National Reports Record Number of Kids Hospitalized With COVID-19

[b]More than 50 children with COVID-19 are hospitalized,[/b] the most the DC hospital has had at one time since the start of the pandemic  [/quote]

The problem with these statistics is that the press is purposely scaring people.  There may very well be more than 50 children with covid hospitalized, but what was the original reason they went to the hospital.  Very likely the majority of those were for other reasons, and they tested positive with Covid, but have no symptoms, or very light symptoms.  Press has been busted man times inflating these statistics to scare people.[/quote]
