Saying that hospitals have stopped delivering normal healthcare is just ridiculous.
It's a fact that hospitals, clinics, and practices have sharply curtailed the delivery of normal healthcare. Operating rooms are running at a fraction of their normal caseload. Hospital census is down sharply across the country. People are not able to get diagnostic procedures done; things like cardiac stress tests, echocardiograms, catheterizations, tissue biopsies, endoscopies, etc., etc., etc.
You seem to be insisting that this is because people are choosing not to receive care out of fear. That may play a role, but reduced availability of care has been a matter of policy, not choice.
